Fat is cleansed and injected through small punctures into the gluteal muscles. Since adipose tissue will be in a very well-circulated organ (muscle tissue), the absorption rate is low: 60-70%, and there is no displacement of adipose tissue. The result will preserve for many years since muscle tissue accepts adipose tissue well. Based on experience, the final result is visible after about three months.
