Can fat be transferred from the abdomen to the buttocks?

Most definitely, and this is called the Brazilian Butt lift, a procedure which is gaining in popularity. The gluteal muscles seem to atrophy with age and rear ends flatten and sag, A full buttocks is a youthful attribute, thus explaing the surge in frequency for the procedure. A relativfely high volume of fat is needed for the butt lft, so it is usually taken from the abdomen, sides back, legs, and anywhere there is excess fat. Hip roles occur with age, making this an excellent donor... more

Fat Graft to Buttocks: "Brazilian Butt"

When liposuction is performed it is possible to harvest some of the fat, treat it with methods that preserve the cells and tranfer it to needed areas. Transfer to the buttocks has become increasingly popular and has been nicknamed the "Brazilian Butt." The gluteal muscle has a good blood supply so the transfer has a better chance of being succesful there than in other areas. The idea of taking from an area of excess and placing in an area of deficiency is like... more

Liposuction and Fat transfer cost approx. $6,000

Of course, fees vary greatly from one surgeon to the next. Our fee for Liposuction of Two Areas and Fat Transfer to the Buttocks in $6,000 (global fee including surgeon's fee, anesthesia fee, and OR fee) but I'm sure you can find cheaper and much more expensive. Our patients have the option of financing, however, it has been more difficult to get financing over the last few months. I wish you the best of luck!

Liposuction is necessary for fat grafting to the buttocks

A comprehensive body liposuction procedure is necessary to obtain sufficient high-quality fat with which to graft into the buttocks. A substantial volume is needed for this procedure. Typical regions used for fat graft donor sites include the abdomen, flanks, back, arms and thighs.

Buttock Enlargement through Fat Transfers

Buttock enlargement can be achieved throuh the use of your body's own fat. Fat transfer is very common in Southern Florida and South America. Ethnic preferences determine the popularity of buttock size, and seem to appeal especially to the African American and Latin tastes. That does not exclude the fact that in many instances having a larger fuller more shapely butt makes clothes fit better and gives the body a more contoured appeal. The fat can be harvested... more

Brazillian buttock lift

The Brazilian Buttock Lift utilizes your own fat, such as the abdomen and under arms, to augment the buttocks and hips and lift. The entire region can be sculpted using a combination of liposuction and fat augmentation. The procedure is as much a reshaping of an entire region as it is an augmentation. The Brazilian Buttock Lift utilizes your own fat to augment and lift. The amount of fat transferred depends on your goals, available fat, and size of your buttocks, and in my practice... more

Brazilian Butt lift is an excellent technique to contour the butt

Whenever we perform liposuction to the abdomen in trunk and then transfer this fat to the area around the butt, this is known as a Brazilian Butt lift. This works extremely well. Keep in mind that the key to success is the quality of fat that is transferred and the technique that the surgeon uses.

Fat transfer from stomach to buttocks works well.

Hi. Fat transfer to the buttocks after liposuction of other areas is quite popular and, if skillfully done, works well. This is sometimes referred to as the Brasilian butt lft.

You can transfer fat from your stomach or other areas to your buttocks

Yes, you definitely can! It's a procedure known as the Brazilian Butt Lift. It is a great procedure for removing excess fat from where you don't typically want it...the abdomen, waist and low back area, and transferring it to the buttocks, to enlarge, define and shape the buttocks. This procedure is not new. I have been performing this for about 12 years, but people are just now learning about it as it is just now getting a lot of exposure. Be sure if you proceed that you find a surgeon with a more

Fat transfer to buttocks is a very popular technique

Fat transfer to the buttocks is the preferred method of buttock augmentation in my practice and probably nationwide. There is a double benefit from this procedure: liposuction and augmentation. It is a 2 hour procedure and you can go home the same day. It is fair to expect a small amount of resorption and hence over-correction is always needed.

Yes, fat transfer can enhance the buttocks

SheB4: Fat transfer for buttock augmentation is a good method to treat two problems with one procedure. Fat can be harvested from donor areas wherever you have localized excess fat. When properly done, adding your own fat to deficient areas like the buttocks is safe and effective. It may work best as a planned series of treatments rather than a single large grafting session. In my practice, the most common use for fat transfer is for facial contour enhancement. However, buttock is... more

Yes! This type of fat transfer is a Brazilian butt lift

Enhancement of the shape of the buttocks is a popular procedure that I prefer to do by using fat augmentation. So, yes, absolutely you can take fat from the stomach (or basically any other area of liposuction) and use it to augment the size and enhance the shape of the buttocks. This "brazillian butt lift" procedure utilizes a combination of liposuction to sculpt and enhance the curvature of the low-back as well as the frame around the buttocks and fat transfer to the buttocks... more

It is absolutely possible to do this type of fat transfer

Yes, it's possible to achieve that Jennifer Lopez, sculpted buttock using your own fat that can be taken from the abdomen. Buttock augmentation with your own fat allows you to get a natural more pleasing shape and contour to the backside by augmenting curves, correcting an imbalance or increasing size and prominence of the buttock. Fat taken from the abdomen (stomach) can be used for this enhancement, so you get the benefit of reducing your stomach while you enhance your butt and all... more
