One of the best ways to create a more shapely rear is to transfer your own body fat to your Buttocks. Augmenting your buttocks with your own body fat can look very natural and, because fat is your own body’s substance, there is little chance for rejection. Also grafted fat takes on the characteristics of the location where it is injected. If it is injected near fat, it feels the same as the fat in that area. This procedure also has the benefit of taking fat from where you don’t want it and depositing where you do.
The results of transferring fat to the buttocks, face, lips or any other place in the body, is that some of it will be reabsorbed by the body, your doctor can’t really predict how much will be reabsorbed. However, as a general rule, what you have remaining after three months will be permanent. We monitor our patients and have recorded a 70 to 80% survival rate of fat. Fat transfer is done by taking fat from areas such as the stomach, flanks, hips, and inner and outer thighs. The fat is removed with a very gentle liposuction that uses a fine cannula to protect live fat cells. The fat particles are then mixed with your own platelet rich plasma and injected back droplet by droplet into the layers of the buttocks through one very small incision on each side. The tiny pearl size fat droplets are deposited throughout the muscle layers so the fat cells will have a good blood supply and best chance of survival. This layering method will create a smooth, more rounded buttock with no irregularities or dents and give a very natural look. Your doctor can harvest fat from the flanks, abdomen, outer legs and the upper and outer buttocks. Transferring fat cells from those areas will give your buttocks a lifted and more curvaceous shape.
The ageing process results in loss of fat in the buttocks, which is a major contributor to the typical features of the older and flatter buttocks. By restoring fat, with fat grafting / lipofilling, we can improve the appearance and provide fuller buttocks – known as ‘The Brazilian Butt Lift’. The type of operation required to achieve the best result for you will depend on your desired outcomes, and will be discussed at the time of your Consultation. Fat grafting can be enhanced by using your our Platelets and growth factors from your blood in the form of Platelet Rich Plasma (or PRP). This enhances fat cell healing and survival, when it is performed at the same time as Fat Grafting. Remember surgery will not change you or solve any life crises, but can boost your self-confidence and enjoyment of life. Recovery: Immediately after the procedure, the buttocks will swell and there will be some bruising, this will then subside within a week or two. There is very little discomfort from fat grafting. You may think the transferred fat has gone as the swelling subsides, but actually, it is only the swelling that goes, along with a little of the fat. It takes at least three months before you can see how much fat actually remains. The liposuction incisions are very small, just big enough to allow the suction cannula to go under the skin and take out the fat that’s needed for transfer. After the procedure, you need to wear a body garment for 4-6 weeks on the liposuctioned area. You can usually go back to work after 7-10 days. Consultation: If you want a round, lifted or apple shaped bottom, make a consultation appointment to discuss the possibilities. Results: You can expect to see a noticeable difference immediately after surgery. The results will look and feel natural. The lifted buttocks will settle after 6 weeks but the improvement in the tissues can continue for up to 18 months.
