In a Brazilian Butt Lift is the Fat Injected Under the Muscle or Above the Muscle?

i have undergone a Brazilian butt lift and the fat has reabsorbed to the point that it doesnt look like ive done any cosmetic surgery on it except for the ugly scars left on my butt and back. But i was told it was because the surgeon placed the fat on top of the muscle instead of behind it. is this true?

Brazilian butt lift fat injections must go into different planes

If fat is transferred or, as we say"grafted", there are different variables determining the success of the procedure. Optimum fat harvest technique is the most important single factor, I regard the Body Jet lipocollector technique to be far superior to any other, and I have really tried about anything else. Regarding injection site, fat injection should be into multiple planes. One of the main reasons why Brazialian butt lift works so well is that there is a huge recipient... more

Brazilian butt lift wasting away

When properly performed a brazilian butt augmentation should result in permanent changes to the size and profile of the buttocks. There are many variables when transferring fat, such as how it is harvested, processed and where and how it is injected. All these components are important for the procedure to be successful.

I have performed this procedure for about 15 years now, and there is no question that the majority of the fat is injected into the fatty tissue on top of... more

Fat Injection Location in Buttock Augmentation

In my experience the best long-term volume results from fat injections into the buttocks is when it is placed into both the gluteal maximus muscle and the subcutaneous space. If all of the fat is put into the buttock fat tissue only, there is much higher chance of it being completely resorbed. While not all fat injections can be placed entirely into the muscle, the more the better. There is no such thing as placing the fat behind the muscle. It is either placed into it or above it. more

Where is Fat Injected in Brazilian Butt Lift?

Normally, fat is harvested from your body in areas where you have excess and then processed and re-injected into the buttock for a Brazilian Butt Lift procedure. The fat needs to be near a source of oxygen and nutrients to survive and the best place for that to happen is in the muscle itself. Some amount of fat can be injected into the fatty tissue, but there is a lower degree of success with this type of approach. Ask your surgeon for specific details on your procedure as every... more
