Buttock Augmentation Fat Transfer

The second option for buttock augmentation is fat transfer to the buttocks. This is commonly called a “Brazilian Butt Lift,” though many of my Brazilian colleagues have never heard of this technique. This involves taking fat from one area and moving it to the buttocks. Usually the fat is taken from the waist or “love-handles,” but it can be taken from any area of the body that has sufficient fat to transfer. The advantage of this technique over buttock augmentation with an implant is that it is the patient’s own tissue and the patient gets the added benefit of receiving liposuction in the area from which the fat was harvested for transfer.
