Can Upper Back Fat Be Used for Brazilian Butt Lift?

Hi Rubenesque,

YES--the back area always has more fat than you even realize! This fat can be used for the Brazilian Butt Lift.  It is not unusual for me to collect  1.5 pounds of fat from Liposuction of the back area.

   Upper back fat, lower back fat, side fat, and belly fat can all be used for transfer in the Brazilian buttlift procedure.  in addition, upper arm fat, lateral thigh, medial thigh, posterior thigh, and pubic fat can all be transferred.  Any place fat is distributed, liposuction may be appropriate.

During Brazilian Butt Lift, fat is liposuctioned from various parts of the body.  The fat can be taken from anywhere that is typically treated with liposuction - abdomen, back, thighs, arms, etc.  The fat is then processed with a centrifuge to remove the fluid and concentrate the fat cells.  These fat cells are then injected in the buttocks for Brazilian Butt Lift or the breast or the hand or face to add volume.

 

Good Luck.

There are many areas where fat can be taken for use in a Brazilian Butt Lift. The upper back is certainly one of them and offers excellent donor fat. You should be evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in BBL procedure. Come on over to NYC! Several of my patients are from the UK.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Fat can be harvest from many areas: arms, abdomen, upper and lower 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 :)
