What if You Don't Have Enough Fat for Brazilian Butt Lift?

If you are too thin, a Brazilian Butt Lift may not be possible. This procedure depends on the amount of fat the patient has to transfer.

Thank you for your question! I suggest you see a board certified plastic surgeon and discuss your desired results with him.  Gaining weight before your surgery is a good idea to have enough of fat for your desired results.  Best of luck!Dr Dhaval PatelDouble Board CertifiedPlastic SurgeonChicago Hoffman Estates Oak Brook

It’s not unusual for patients to be concerned about how much
fat can be transferred when they undergo a brazilian butt lift.Without adequate pictures or a physical
examination it’s virtually impossible to estimate how much fat can be
transferred in any particular patient.Your history suggest that inadequate donor sites may represent a
significant problem if your goal is a substantial buttock enlargement.The
lack of donor sites may also be compounded by the inability to contour the
surrounding structures.Liposuction of
adjacent areas significantly contributes to the aesthetic result in most
patients undergoing this procedure.Under
these circumstances, consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who
has experience performing brazilian butt lift surgery is essential.This surgeon can help develop a realistic
treatment plan that not only considers your aesthetic goals, but your anatomic
findings as well.In some cases, the
brazilian butt lift won’t represent a viable option.Under these circumstances gluteal implants
may represent an alternative.
