Fat Grafting to Butt

What is Fat Grafting to Butt Surgery?

Fat grafting to butt surgery is a natural and effective way to get the beautifully sculpted buttocks that you want.

Fat grafting takes a patient’s own fat and then it is re-implanted in a specific body area. Usually, fat is taken from areas of the body including the abdomen, thighs or love handles. It is also known as the Brazilian Butt Lift.

Fat grafting to butt surgery offers a more natural appearance than implants, has a less painful recovery process and leaves minimal scarring. It produces rounder, larger buttocks with desired protrusion and contour.

Fat Grafting to Butt Cost
Costs can vary based on individual patient needs and the amount of surgery required.
The costs involved in this procedure include facility/hospital fees, medical tests, anesthesia fees, Dr. Jimerson’s fee and any medication or post-operative garments that may be required. Our staff will provide you with a detailed cost estimate for your procedure.
Fat Grafting to Butt Candidates
As with most elective cosmetic procedures, there are several basic criteria that determine if you’re a good candidate for a fat grafting to butt procedure. They include:
Your skin has a fair amount of elasticity
You have enough fat from a donor site (love handles, abdomen, flank)
You have flat or narrow buttocks and desire a more shapely, rounder butt
You enjoy relatively good health without any medical conditions that could jeopardize your healing or present surgical risks
• You’re a non-smoker (smoking can impair the healing process), and you have realistic expectations on what the surgery can do for you
Fat Grafting to Butt Recovery
After the surgery the area where the fat was taken from will be sore, but you usually won’t experience a lot of pain.
The biggest issue in recovery is you should not sit for more than 15 minutes during the two weeks following your procedure. That’s because the fat needs time to heal and become a part of the buttocks. Lying on your stomach, back or side, standing and walking are all fine, but you must avoid sitting directly on your butt.
Most patients can return to work in 1-2 weeks, but should avoid strenuous activities for 4-6 weeks following the procedure.
Fat Grafting to Butt Results
After the procedure you will see a very meaningful, enhanced buttock shape. In addition to the new augmented area, you will also see an improvement in the body area that the fat was taken from, as the fat extraction will remove pockets of unwanted fat.
Your results will be visible immediately following your procedure, but it could take months for the final results to be visible. That’s because swelling needs to completely dissipate, and the fat needs to mold to your body’s tissue.
Fat Grafting to Butt Procedure Steps
You will discuss various anesthesia options with Dr. Jimerson, including sedation and general anesthesia. He will determine the best type of anesthesia based on the procedure, your health history and his preferences.
Fat will be taken from the donor site (abdomen, love handles, back) using liposuction. A small incision is made and Dr. Jimerson will use a cannula to extract the fat. The fat is then processed, and prepared for grafting.

You will have several different injection sites on your buttocks to transfer the fat back into your body. After the fat is grafted to the new area, a compression garment will be placed on you. Bandages will be placed on the donor sites where incisions were made.
