Brazilian Butt Lift

Armando Soto, MD answers: Brazilian Butt Lift from back fat?

I'm a 25 year old mother of two, 5'3" and 145 lbs. I have a big problem area on my back, where I can't get rid of the fat. The only place I can think of transferring that unwanted fat is to my buttocks. Any thoughts about Brazilian Butt Lift from back fat?

Hi there- 

The Brazilian Butt Lift technique provides wonderful and natural results for women who wish to reshape their body contour with improved shape and projection of the buttocks. If this is one of your goals, you may be very happy with the outcome.

There are a few requirements- you must have good skin tone- otherwise the result may disappoint, with irregularity of the skin. Also, to really achieve a lovely improvement in the buttock, there needs to be enough fat available to graft a large volume into the buttocks, realizing that there will be a noticeable loss of volume in the 2 months postop due to resorption.

Finally, you should bear in mind that the success of fat grafting is highly dependent on the experience of the surgeon- even more so than other procedures. Find a plastic surgeon certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery who has a lot of experience in this particular technique (ask to see photos and speak to former patients). 

The result can be beautiful- I hope you get what you want!
