Can Fat Be Transferred from Calf Areas to the Buttock or Breast Areas?

Question

I am currently having some fat transferred from my stomach to one of my breasts following unsatisfactory results. I would like to have a buttock augmentation and worry that I won't have enough fat resources to draw from. Could even the fat on my calves be utilised?

Emmanuel Mallol Cotes, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Yes this can be possible. You can transfer the fat from your calves to your buttocks or breast as your fat from your stomach. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

A good candidate has enough fat available for transfer in the procedure. The amount of fat that can be transferred in a BBL depends on how much fat the patient has to harvest and the amount of space there is to move the fat into. It is recommended for the patient to have a BMI of 30 or less. If you are too thin, a Brazilian Butt Lift may not be possible.

You can harvest fat from anywhere on the body and graft fat to anywhere on the body. You just need enough fat.

Otto Joseph Placik, MD · Answer

The fat on your calves, in fact the fat from almost anywhere, can be used. However, it is not likely that your calves will provide sufficient tissue to make a significant difference. It typically takes at least 250cc of fat to make a difference and this would require harvest at least 3 times that. This would be an exceptional amount to obtain from your calves.
