Can fat cells be moved from one part of the body to another?

Question

If someone received a Brazilian Butt Lift or Fat Transfer , can the fat cells be moved into the butt ?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Duringa BBL, fat is usually harvested from another part of the body andthen added to the buttock, where it then adheres and creates a bloodsupply. Those cells will not migrate elsewhere on their own. Pleasesee an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Bianca Knoll, MD · Answer

after  a few months after your first fat transfer / lipo filling the procedure can be repeated. Since your body built new blood vessels and more volume  was created , now additional volume can be built up with a second fat transfer. Best of luck Bianca Knoll

That is what a brazilian butt lift is. A transfer of fat from one area of the body and placed into the buttocks.

Theodore Nyame, MD · Answer

Following a butt lift more fat can be placed into the buttocks in a secondary procedure. After several months, the fat acquires its own blood supply. New fat can then be grafted in the same manor. It is important to discuss how much fat may be necessary to obtain your ideal result. Best Wishes Theodore T. Nyame MD

Well, I am interpreting your question differently from the other 2 physicians answering prior to me.  Once the fat cells are grafted into the buttock of a moderately healthy individual, they will quickly become anchored into place (not move elsewhere), and develop a good blood supply within the first month.  It is important not to sit on hard surfaces for prolonged periods for one full month after the transfer.  Hope this helps!Windell C. Davis Boutte, MD.
