Can I use fat from neck lipo for Brazilian Butt Lift?

Question

I'm currently 5'4" 112 lbs & 22 y/o. My butt is not tiny but I would like it to be rounder. I have a fairly flat stomach but I hate my thick thighs. But I don't know if the thigh fat will be enough? I thought maybe I could use fat from a neck lipo--I've wanted one for years now. Even at 95-98 lbs, which was normal for me up throughout my life until last winter, I had somewhat of a double chin! If I can use neck fat, does it have to be from the same surgeon who is doing the BBL? Can it be stored?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

You need to have the same surgeon perform all of the liposuction procedures at the same time, and all of that fat needs to be used then and there.          I perform about 500 
Brazilian buttlifts each year, and this  
procedure is the most surgeon dependent plastic surgery procedure.  Find
 a  plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of  
Brazilian buttlifts each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's  
website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can  
deliver the results.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Any harvested fat can be used in a BBL. It can be harvest from many areas: arms, abdomen, back, flanks, thighs, etc.
In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 30 or less.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

Yes you can use fat from almost anywhere in the body, but the neck usually does not offer too  much fat to enhance the buttock region.

Samuel Sohn, MD · Answer

Any fat from the body that is harvested at the time of the BBL can be used in the procedure.  The fat cannot be stored with good cell viability, so it is best to fat graft the buttocks with the freshly harvested fat at the time of surgery.  Talk to your plastic surgeon, it should be a simple addition to perform chin lipo with your BBL.
