Vaser lipo and fat transfer to butt?

Fat grafting for buttocks augmentation is a great option for many women.  Fat for grafting may be harvested by various forms of liposuction, of which, Vaser is one.  Fat obtained from the Vaser procedure has been shown to provide excellent quality fat with a high "take" rate.  Limitations fat grafting include: (1) getting enough fat out to give adequate results (it usually takes a minimum of 200 mL - almost a measuring cup) per cheek to have decent results, but often we may inject up to 1000 mL or more; (2) unpredictability of end result:  we know that some percent of the injected fat will die and not provide a lasting result - whether that is 50% or 20% or less, depends upon many variables, most of which are NOT in the control of the surgeon performing the procedure, but more to do with "patient factors," such as age, smoking, underlying health status, and genetic factors.  Surgeons who perform fat grating often use many additional technologies, such as "stem cell enhancement" or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to provide additional growth factors and to improve their "take rate."  These add-ons are also likely to add to the bottom line.From the photos you provided, you appear to be a good candidate.  The cost of the procedure will depend on many things too: the process used to "clean" the harvested fat, the number of body areas required to obtain the required fat volume, and type of anesthesia used.  Based on your photos, I would recommend liposuction of the abdomen and waist or "love handles" and possibly the outer thighs and bra roll areas too - that should provide enough fat to make it worthwhile and give you a good result.  In my practice, that would run somewhere between $6,000-$10,000, or more if more areas of liposuction are done or if any of the add-ons are included.  Harvested fat can also be cryopreserved (specially frozen) for use at a later date or to "touch up" an area that may not have had as good fat retention.  Most surgeons prefer to do these procedures with the patient under general anesthesia, however, I often do them under sedation with local (numbing) agent, depending upon patient preference.

hello bb24 YES, this is known as fat transfer procedure, because the fat removed during vaser liposuction is usually of high quality and can be easily reintroduced to other parts of the body. Since it is your own fat, there are no concerns of rejection or complication seen with implants.  Common uses are for breast augmentation and Brazilian buttock lift. Vaser liposuction cost varies according the areas of the body being treated and the length of surgery. hence a good estimate of the cost can be gotten by an in-patient consultation.  Treatment generally starts at about four thousand dollars for the first hour. #cost #butt

Thanks for the photos. In my opinion you are a very good candidate for this surgery. Around 4000 g fat should be removed from the your stomach, belt and back area. After the taken fat will be filitrated and than injected into your butt. I guess that 1000 g fat can be transferred on each side. This seems like it is a lot but it isn't as your body will absorb nearly 40-50% of the injected fat. After the surgery you should stay for one night in hospital. 3 weeks a pressure garment should be worn for 24 hours. 10 days after you can start with LPG or a normal massage which helps to reshape your body.The final result can be seen after 3-6 month. Good luck...

I appreciate your question.





Cost varies by geographic location, surgeon expertise, OR time, anesthesia, length of procedure etc.  I would recommend that you see a board certified plastic surgeon in your area who specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery and who is also a member of The American Society of Plastic Surgery.  You can call their offices in advance and ask for quotes prior to scheduling consultations.





The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.



Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.





Best of luck!
