Fat sources for a Brazilian Butt Lift

When we perform a Brazilian Butt lift, the plastic surgeon will perform liposuction throughout the body. The goal is to not only shape and contour your body but to obtain enough fat to clean, process, and then transplant to your butt. In order to perform the successfully, we need very good quality fat. The best quality fat usually comes from areas such as your abdomen your hips your waist and your files. Although we may perform liposuction to your knees, there usually is not enough fat... more

Brazilian Butt Lift and Fat Grafting

For this surgery you need a lot of fat harvested. Just taking fat from the inner thigh or knee is not going to be enough. Usually liposuction of almost the entire body is performed to be able to get enough fat for the injection. Large volumes are injected since a percentage of the fat does resorb (go away).

Fat from any place it is in excess may be used for a Brazilian Butt Lift, but....

Brazilian buttock enhancement with knee fat

In Brazilian Butt Enhancement by Fat Grafting, one can obtain the fat from every place that is not wanted and grafted into the buttock. The knees yield a limited amount. Another method of Brazilian Butt enhancement is by DERMIS FAT GRAFTING taken From a TUMMY TUCK

Knee fat not enough for Brazilian butt lift

 There isn't enough fat to take from the inner knee and transfer to the buttock and make any significant difference to have been worth the effort.

Harvesting Knee Fat

Not even the really obese among us have enough fat around their inner knees to fully fill the buttocks. If you have enough fat elsewhere and would like these areas to be suctioned at the same time, it is certainly possible but I would not count on these areas as a sole source of the fat transfer.

Transferring knee fat to the butt

There is no doubt that the fat from the inner knees can be used. However, in my opinion this is relatively insignificant and will not contribute adequately due to the large volume of fat required for the Brazilian Butt lift.
