Can you use your breast fat for a Brazilian butt lift surgery?

Question

If you were already planning on getting breast lift and augmentation as well? I would be willing to travel to find the best doctor for me. I'm 5'4. 100 pounds. I don't want a huge butt. I just want a little cute one. My current breast size is a 34C. But I have lost volume since having children.

Alex Campbell, MD · Answer

When planning a Brazilian butt lift, patients can look forward to a double benefit: reducing areas of unwanted fat while gaining a perkier, rounded posterior. Each procedure must be planned according to the individual needs of patients, harvesting fat from target areas of the torso, thighs or knees and transferring it to create smooth, attractive contours optimized for each person.The amount of fat transferred depends on the quantity available and the extent of buttock augmentation each patient desires. Sufficient body fat for a buttock augmentation is very patient-specific, depending on an individual’s body shape and proportions as well as their expectations. I have never taken fat from the breast for BBL and think it is a bad idea in general.  Best donor sites are usually from the hips, thighs and lower back, which could then be transferred to your buttocks. This sculpting of the body through liposuction and fat grafting can result in a dramatic enhancement of feminine curves.Buttock augmentation with fat grafting is one of our most popular procedures in Colombia, and from experience we can tell you that some patients do very well with 300 cc of fat per side while others can need 600 cc or more. That said, you definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety. Best is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.I hope this was helpful.  Please let me me know if you have any other questions regarding the procedure. Thank you and best of luck.  Dr. Campbell

There is a risk that the transferred tissue from the breast could develop cancer and go undetected.   Liposuction and BBL can be very successful as can buttock implants.  I
would search for the board certified plastic surgeon who you feel is
most likely to give you the best results and who performs hundreds of
these procedures each year. I would look at patient reviews as well as
before and after photos on that surgeon's website.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

You probably can, but if your are having a lift and an augmentation why would you want to get rid of any breast tissue as it seems you want more breast with a better shape?Stephen M. Davis, MD, FACSGreen Hills Plastic Surgery
