Buttock Augmentation through Fat Transfer

Buttock augmentation through fat transfer is a great way to attain really rounded and shapely buttocks. Women who are worried about their buttocks that are not prominent or are not rounded enough can seek fat transfer for buttock augmentation, Brazilian butt lift or other such buttock enhancement cosmetic surgery procedures.

Why Fat Transfer Is Necessary

Buttock augmentation requires fat. While too much fat in the abdomen area or the thighs can mar the appearance, buttocks on the other hand require fat. To avoid the risk of allergic reaction to a foreign object, it is better for fat from one’s own body to be grafted to the buttocks. This is how fat transfer helps buttock augmentation. Fat is removed from an area of the body such as the inner thighs, inner knees or lower abdomen. By transferring fat, the surgeon has greater possibilities for contouring the buttocks.

Fat Transfer Is Ideal For Buttock Augmentation

Butt augmentation with fat transfer is ideal for women who have excess fat in the areas from which fat is generally taken. Women who are too slim may need to settle for injection of implants.

The Fat Transfer Process

The process of fat transfer includes the important step of fat harvesting:

• This refers to the process of obtaining the fat and purifying it.

• Fat is removed from the identified area through a cannula, which will be larger than that used for placing the fat into the buttocks.

• Incisions are made on the skin from where the fat is taken.

• If fat harvesting causes irregularities in the donor area, liposuction is later performed to contour it.

The fat removed is purified and processed before it is inserted into the buttocks. Tiny incisions are made on the buttocks through which fat is inserted through a tiny cannula. The most accepted technique is to place the fat in layers in tiny amounts. During the recovery period the patient may have to wear a compression garment for a few weeks and follow other precautions which the surgeon would advice. The patient could return to normal routine in a week if there is no heavy physical activity involved.

Surgeon’s Skill Vital for Butt Augmentation Success

Buttock enhancement procedures including Brazilian butt lift is very delicate and requires experience and dexterity on the part of the plastic surgeon. The presence of an experienced surgeon who has performed a number of butt augmentation procedures increases your chances for success as he/she would be familiar with the delicate nature of this cosmetic surgery procedure.

Experienced plastic surgeons would also be using high tech instruments for effective placement of fat and accurate measurement of the fat. Such devices consist of a probe for observing the precise location of the fat placement and an imaging platform through which the surgeon receives images of the soft tissue layers before the procedure, during the procedure and after its completion.

With these technologies and experienced plastic surgeons, buttock augmentation through fat transfer is safer and more efficient.
