Are Fat Butt Injections Safe?

Brazilian butt lift (fat transfer to the buttock) is so
popular because it enables your plastic surgeon to transform your entire
shape. Liposuction is performed over
several areas depending on the individual patient needs, but typically of the
flanks, abdomen, back and thighs.



The liposculpting will allow your surgeon to bring in your
hips and waist giving you more of an hour glass figure. You already have some shape to your buttock
and this will be able to be enhanced to give you a very attractive buttock. From the pictures you look like you have very
good skin which will give you a great result from the liposcultping.



The process of the Brazilian Butt lift is not only to add
volume to the buttock but to transform the entire shape of the patient from a
square appearance to more of an hour glass shape. It is about giving a patient a figure that
she will look great in close or a bikini (for the patients here in Miami). The goal is not to just try and make the
biggest butt possible. It is giving the
patient a shape they will love for years to come!



Fat injections are the only substance that I would currently
have injected into your buttock for enhancement. Unfortunately here in Miami I have seen
patients who were injected with silicone or other random substance and some of them end up with lifelong problems.



When considering this procedure it is very important that
you have your procedure performed by a board certified plastic surgeon.

Unfortunately, there are risks to every surgical procedure.  You are on the right track to deciding against hydrogel injections and unfortunately, the only way to inject fat in to the buttocks is to extract from your own body.  If you go to a board certified plastic surgeon, you will have the best results.

Hi there-

Only your own fat would be safe and effective to use for fat grafting of any kind... Therefore, there is a need to obtain this fat from you--- and liposuction is the only safe way to do it.

You are absolutely correct that injections of anything but your own fat are not safe. 

And please be careful- when people search hard enough for something (like a way to make your butt bigger without surgery), and they wave a bit of money in the air, it usually isn't long before someone promises them it can be done.... With poor outcomes and injury after the fact.

It is not possible in to get a significant volume of fat for transfer to the buttocks without liposuction. Any procedure that is performed can have side effects/possible complications. The benefit of the outcome of the procedures offered by board certified plastic surgeons usually outweigh the risks in the appropriate patient. The patient must be comfortable of possible complications to gain the benefit of the procedure of their choosing. Nothing in life is without potential consequences.

I see so many questions online about buttock augmentations through methods that do not involve either fat injections, the traditional Brazilian Butt Lifts, or with buttock implants.  In other words, the questions are often about the use of materials such as hydrogels, free silicone, and also materials that are not specifically made for buttock augmentation.  Oftentimes, the patients asking the questions have already had the buttock injection and now they’re wondering about their options for having said material removed.   I really cannot stress enough that all forms of buttock enhancement that does not use the patient’s own fat or use of silicone implants specifically designed for buttock enhancement, should really be avoided for safety reasons.  I think injections of materials not specifically made for buttock enhancement may lead to immediate or long-term problems.  These can include things like infections, pain, hard lumps, and even deformities.  Unfortunately, some of these may be impossible to correct.  This is not even to mention the catastrophic results that often make the headline news.   I really do urge anyone who is considering buttock enhancement by anyone other than an experienced, licensed and board certified plastic surgeon, to rethink what could lead to a lifetime of problems with black market injections.  Buttock enhancement is really a surgical procedure.  It should not be done anywhere other than a surgical facility and that means not having the procedure done in a place like a hotel room or someone’s private home.  Please be smart and cautious.  What may sound like a great deal in the short run, may be a long period of problems that cost you your health or worse.   If buttock augmentation is what you really desire, seek out a consultation with a board certified and experienced plastic surgeon.  Buttock augmentation is an incredible procedure that can be done very safely and with great results.  The main message here is to be smart about your selection of surgeon by choosing a professional who can answer your questions and give you their best recommendation for treatment. Best of luck with your procedure!
