Fat Injections in the Buttocks

Optimal success depends on:

(1) THe amount of fat harvested through liposuction. (2) The liposculpting of the lower back (3) The amount of fat transferred. (4) The method of fat harvest, processing and final transfer.  The latter is obviously dependent on your chosen plastic surgeon.  Thus choose one who has does this procedure routinely and has many before and after photos.  For more information, visit the link below.

You need to have a surgeon that has years of experience doing this procedure at its best.  Frankly technique is that matters most!!  there are different cannulas and many different machines for extracting the fat and that makes big difference.  Also how the fat is treated prior to injection makes it either better or worse for injection and transfer.  I trained in Brazil and have honed on the best way to do this procedure and I do this transfer technique almost everyday.  This procedure is safe in hands of a doctor that know and has experience in doing it.  I would say go for someone with at least 10 years of experience.  

Fat Injection is commonly referred to as the Brazilian butt
lift. This procedure has become 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.



If you are at a healthy weight and maintain that you will be
able to enjoy your results for years to come.
With the fat transfer patients typically lose about 30% of the fat that
is initially transferred however the fat that is present six months post-op
will remain as long as your weight is stable.
If you lose weight you can lose some of the transferred fat, and if you
gain weight you can increase the size of your buttock. The benefit of the fat transfer is that the
fat is your own and acts just like the fat in other parts of your body.



I do think for patients to get the results they are looking
for they need to have the procedure done by an experienced board certified
plastic surgeon that performs a tremendous amount of fat transfer.



This is important because the surgeon will be able to be realistic
with you about the results that are possible from fat transfer and tell you
whether you are a good candidate for the procedure or not.



A surgeon that performs a lot of these procedures also has a
system in place that allows him or her to process the fat and shape the body in
the best possible way.



I would advise you to see a board certified plastic surgeon that
performs a lot of fat transfer procedures.
In my practice the Brazilian Butt Lift is one of the procedures where
patient are extremely happy after surgery.
The procedure not only enhance the buttock gives patients the hourglass
shape that they desire!



With that said I would tell you that when it comes to your
body, I would not choose your surgeon by who is the cheapest. It is important to have several consultations
with board certified plastic surgeons.
Also make sure that your surgery is being performed in an accredited
surgery center or hospital.



Unfortunately here in Miami many patients try to save money
by having their procedure performed by non-plastic surgeons and at facilities
that have not been accredited and often have problems.



In general of the procedures that I perform this is one
where patients tend to be universally extremely happy.



I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.
Respectfully,-Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Thank you for your question. The procedure you are describing is
called a Brazilian Butt Lift and is a type of butt augmentation
procedure which uses a person’s own fat to naturally augment and shape
the buttocks. Liposuction is performed to remove fat from other areas of
the body (often the stomach, hips, and thighs), then transfers that fat
to the buttocks. Additional liposuction can be done around the butt to
improve the appearance of lift and contour.As with any surgery there are risks, but I wouldn't recommend injecting anything it to the buttocks other than your own harvested fat. I would recommend consulting with plastic surgeons so they may examine you and help explain the procedures to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Good luck!Good luck!

The best way to achieve a celebrity-like butt and hips is a Brazilian Butt Lift. A Brazilian Butt Lift is a procedure where excess fat is liposuctioned from different parts of the body and moved to the buttocks. This reshapes and adds volume to the butt while keeping a natural look. Final results are permanent and generally seen about 6 months after the procedure.

Fat transfers to the buttocks is typically the best procedure to have done.  Although the size of the buttock at the end of the surgery is based on how much fat we harvested during the liposuction.  I would recommend having a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who has experience with doing fat transfers to the buttocks. Best of luck to you. 

This procedure depends on technically correct harvesting, separating and re-injection of the fat. Since it always involves removal of fat from areas surroundng the buttocks or other areas of the body, it is done in a sterile operating room environment. You should assure yourself of safety by seeking out a board-certified plastic surgeon. The operation has the usual risks of liposuction, including unnvenness or wa viness of the skin and the risk of infection.
In terms of alternatives, patients who want a more shapely buttock, but not necessarily a larger buttock, benefit from liposuction around the buttocks to bring out the desired shape. this means removing fat from the low back, the flanks, waist and hips. For patients who do have adequate fat, I think the use of fat for buttocks augmentatino is preferable to the use of buttocks implants. Very skilled surgeons still sometimes get wound healing problems in the incisions needed to place buttocks implants, and implants can look unnatural, move around, and be affected by fluid collections or seromas even years after implantation.
Find a doctor who is skilled at liposuction and well versed in the emerging science of fat transplantation. When fat is treated well and lives in its new location it is a very natural way to augment the buttocks.

Fat grafting to the buttocks is well established and methods of fat harvesting and transfer vary between surgeons. Our experience has been quite positive and uplifting for patients. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles

I think a careful analysis of buttock shape and pelvic structure is important to obtaining a good result. There is some excellent literature on this topic that has been recently published by Dr. Mendieta in Miami. Secondly, a efficient and atraumatic fat harvesting technique is important. Cytori is working on a couple of devices to expedite this process- most of us doing large volume fat grafting have developed our own systems and are always looking at ways to refine our technique. Lastly, good injection technique is critical- this can only be learned by doing these procedures- so seek out a board certified plastic surgeon with fat grafting experience !
