Is it common to take fat from your arms for a Brazilian Butt lift fat transfer?

Question

Is it common to take fat from your arms for a Brazilian Butt lift? I see that most doctors take fat from stomach, back and thighs but not many from arms. Do doctors not like to take the fat from the arms for a fat transfer? Asking bc my arms are the one thing on my body that I would want lipo on most.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

I commonly remove fat from the arms, inner thighs, outer thighs, and posterior thighs for the procedure.  I have also taken from the calves and ankles, inner knees, under the chin, the axillae, etc.

Ron Hazani, MD, FACS · Answer

Yes. Fat can be harvested from multiple areas for the fat transfer procedure.Seek a plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of these procedures, has great reviews and photos, and is an expert in this field.

Hello dear!Thanks for the question and provided information as well.The fat from your arms can be taken for fat transfer, but obviously it's not enough, that's why most of the plastic surgeons take fat form the other parts that are bigger, but that does not mean that you can not have liposuction in your arms.I recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your concerns and goals.Good luck :)

Mark Broudo, MD · Answer

Arms can be a great place to get fat for a BBL on the right patient. As long as the area is a place you want liposuction, go for it.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

No, fat can be taken from the arms if it is available. Fat can be harvested from almost anywhere....
