Thank you for your question. Yes, 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 from your thighs depends on the quantity available. 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.

Hi thank you for your question! You can transfer fat from any area of your body to augment your buttocks. Obviously volume is of great importance and you may need several different area suctioned at one time to allow for adequate volume enhancement.  Hope this helps!Dr. Newall

In short, yes fat from your thighs can be used to enhance your buttocks.  However, the volume present in the thighs may not be enough to give you the result you desire.  An in person examination with a board certified plastic surgeon will give you the best information.
