What is a Buttock Fat Transfer?

A buttock fat transfer is a surgical procedure commonly received by both men and women. It uses liposuction to harvest and purify fat from various areas of the body, including the abdomen, arms, thighs, or flanks, and then reinjects it into the subcutaneous tissue (the fatty layer beneath the skin) of the buttocks and hips. This can be done to create a subtle or dramatic boost in volume and shape while still looking natural, thanks to the use of the patient’s own fat.

Patients can then enjoy a rounder, lifted, and fuller appearance that they previously lacked due to age, genetics, or weight loss.

Brazilian Butt Lift

A Brazilian butt lift, also known as a butt augmentation, is designed to increase the size and shape of the buttocks using the patient’s own fat. It takes excess fat from other areas of the body, such as the back, flanks, arms, thighs, and abdomen, to create sculpted, more defined, and more rounded buttocks. It specifically helps lift the buttocks for increased projection and youthfulness.

What to Expect on the Day of Buttock Fat Transfer Surgery

On the day of buttock fat transfer surgery, you will come to the hospital or ambulatory surgery center. After checking in, you will review your surgical plan with Dr. Shafqat, who will answer any questions you have.

Before receiving general anesthesia, Dr. Shafqat will mark the donor and enhancement sites where the tiny incisions will be placed to ensure accurate transfer. The procedure will begin with tiny incisions, followed by gentle liposuction to harvest fat from donor sites such as the abdomen, arms, or thighs. The fat is purified and meticulously reinjected into the enhancement sites in the buttocks. Typically, this is done with an ultrasound to enhance safety. This process is repeated as many times as necessary to create the sculpted, enhanced buttocks to meet your aesthetic goals. The surgery typically takes 1-3 hours, depending on the extent of the procedure.

You’ll be given time to adjust in a recovery room and can return home the same day, with a trusted contact to drive you.

Combining My Buttock Fat Transfer with Other Procedures

You can absolutely combine your buttock fat transfer with other procedures. In fact, it can be an excellent way to achieve comprehensive results, reduce costs, and achieve your aesthetic goals in a single recovery period. Here are some procedures frequently combined with buttock fat transfer:

Breast Procedures

If you are looking to create a more balanced “hourglass” figure, combining a breast procedure with buttock fat transfer can help enhance overall body proportions. Depending on your goals, breast augmentation can add fullness and upper-body volume, while procedures such as a breast lift or breast reduction can improve shape, positioning, and proportion. Pairing breast procedures with buttock enhancement allows for a more cohesive and customized body contouring result.

Tummy Tuck

If you want to address excess or sagging abdominal skin in addition to enhancing the buttocks, combining a tummy tuck with buttock fat transfer can create a smoother, more sculpted lower-body contour. A tummy tuck tightens weakened abdominal muscles and removes loose skin, helping flatten and refine the midsection, while the fat transfer enhances volume and shape in the buttocks. Together, these procedures can create a more balanced, defined silhouette.

Lower Body Lift/ Circumferential Tummy Tuck

For patients with significant weight loss or more extensive skin laxity throughout the midsection and lower body, a lower body lift or circumferential tummy tuck can provide more comprehensive contouring alongside buttock fat transfer. This signature procedure addresses loose skin around the abdomen, flanks, waistline, and lower back to create smoother, more connected lower-body contours.

When combined with buttock fat transfer, it helps further define the waist and enhance the transition between the waist, hips, and buttocks, resulting in a more sculpted, balanced lower body.

Buttock Fat Transfer Recovery

Buttock fat transfer recovery varies by patient, depending on age, genetics, healing ability, the extent of the procedure, and the donor areas chosen. In general, you can expect some swelling, soreness, tenderness, and bruising, which can be uncomfortable. Take the prescribed pain medication to alleviate the discomfort. These side effects typically subside within a couple of weeks and fully resolve within a few months.

Avoid putting unnecessary pressure on the hips and buttocks for about 2-4 weeks after surgery to ensure symmetrical results without lumps or large divots. Attend all follow-up appointments at our Parsippany office so Dr. Shafqat can monitor your progress.
