Can a Brazilian butt lift get rid of thigh gap and increase fat size in thighs?

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. During a BBL, fat can also be grafted to other areas to improve fullness and give volume. This will depend on the amount of fat you have to donate. I hope this helps.

Dear Hepburnn,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, it is possible to get fat transfer to thighs. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

A buttocks assessment tool can be an invaluable tool to communicate to your surgeon the exact buttocks size and shape you are desiring. Augmentation of your lateral hips and thighs can be achieved with fat grafting to those areas while taking account appropriate gender specific nuances.

The optimal BBL outcomes are achieved with: 1) use of VASER liposuction to harvest the fat, 2) a closed looped system such as Puregraft to process the fat, and 3) strategic micro-packet transplant technique. These three processes have demonstrated over 95% fat graft take. This means that your results will be stable as long as you maintain your weight. As an official VASER trainer, I am routinely referred unhappy BBL patients. One of the most common reasons for disgruntled BBL patients is that patients are not able to accurately communicate their desired buttocks goals to their surgeons. Hence, the buttock assessment tool will allow your surgeon to have a clear understanding of your desired treatment goals. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.

I would say the majority of my BBL procedures includes grafting some fat to the hips and or thighs.

It just depends what each person needs for women the goal is generally to establish a smooth even S-curve from the knees to the shoulders.

The amount of increased volume possible is directly related to her most host tissue is on the thigh already. For those who are very thin layers of fat on the moderate amount of increase can be obtained with a single round of fat transfer. this is the first limitation. The second limitation is the amount of fat available for grafting. doing a BBL with circumferencial thighs were use a lot of fat and depending on your body shape and weight this may or may not be feasible.

Posting pictures would allow us to make an assessment. Otherwise you’ll simply need to consult with local plastic surgeons to see what each of them has to say.

Women with very thin thighs will have a modest increase with a single round of fat transfer. Thicker thighs are easier to graft because they have more post tissue to support grafted fat.

Best,

Hello, and thank you for your question. Your doctor will have to evaluate you in person to see what would be suitable for your figure. I don't typically fat graft fat into thighs but it can be done if you want it to match the buttock. Please see a board-certified physician for your consultation. Best of luck to you!
