What is buttock injections (also known as fat transfer, brazilian butt lift)?

Brazilian Butt Lift and Butt injection from Fat transfer are the same

Brazilian Butt Lift is the name of the procedure and butt fat transfer is just an explanation of what is done during the procedure. The way it is performed is by liposuctioning fat usually from the back, flanks, abdomen, and thighs through several small stab incisions that are discretely placed.

The fat is then processed and injected into the buttock through minute incisions. (Siamak Agha, MD, PhD, FACS, Orange County Plastic Surgeon)

The brazilian butt lift not only enlarges the buttock, but simultaneously lifts and contours the area.This procedure involves harvesting fat form donor sites with liposuction and then transplanting the fat to the buttock region.

Both the fat harvest and the lipo-injection help lift, augment and contour the buttock area. When this technique is utilized success rates are excellent and patient satisfaction rates are high.

The procedure is limited by the amount of donor fat available in some cases. If you’re considering this procedure, consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is appropriate. (Richard J. Bruneteau, MD, Omaha Plastic Surgeon)

BBL vs Butt Injection

They both refer to the same procedure which is injection of fat into the buttocks. This is very different from an open butt lift with skin excision. The fat transfer will add volume to this area and give it more shape. The problem is always how much fat is available for transfer.

In general I need to inject 400cc into each side to get a good result. 800cc of fat transfered requires around 3 times as much liposuctioned. (Hisham Seify, MD, PhD, FACS, Orange County Plastic Surgeon)

The Brazilian Buttocks Lift is a procedure where fat is liposuctioned from around the waistline, purified then injected into the buttocks. This technique is also known as Fat Grafting or Micro Fat Grafting. The results are very natural and can be dramatic when done well. This procedure will not only increase your buttocks size, but can also provide an improvement in shape. However your question asks if it will add “sufficient volume and shape” That all depends on how much fat you have to donate to your buttocks and the shape of your buttocks to begin with. (Daniel P. Markmann, MD, Baltimore Plastic Surgeon)

The brazilian buttock lift and fat transfer are terms to describe the same type of procedure which involves removing excess fat from unwated areas and transferring them with injections into an area such as the buttocks to create a fuller, lifted, firmer, and shaplier buttocks. I suggest viewing some before and afters to see what the procedure is capable of in the right hands. Dr. Sean Simon (Sean A. Simon, MD, Miami Plastic Surgeon)

BBL involves liposuction of torso to contour upper buttock and thighs if patients desire, the fat is processed and approximately half the liposuction volume is purified fat cells, the rest is free fluid, oil, debris and broken cells. The fat is then layered in 2mm droplets first to frame the buttock and then to augment. It is a very tedious process and physically demanding of the surgeon. It takes a truly artistic surgeon to sculpt the buttocks and see what is not there. (Christopher J. Kovanda, MD, Minneapolis Plastic Surgeon)

Butt Implants, the best solution for Butt Enhancement without fat transfer

This is the recommended solution for those people who don’t have enough fat to do a fat transfer. (James S. McAdoo, DO, FACOS, Miami Plastic Surgeon)

Brazilian Butt Lift removes excess fat from other areas of the body and transfer that fat to the buttock to add volume, improve on the shape and lift to a certain degree. Improving the shape of the Buttock also can be enhanced by liposuction of the love handles, back and sometimes the thighs for better shape and curves (Samir Shureih, MD, Baltimore Plastic Surgeon)

Brazilian Butt Lift and other butt lifts and fat transfers to give shape to the buttocks

The Brazilian Butt Lift is all about proportions, not just volume. There are also a lot of technical details to be aware of. Check out the video link below about a patient who lost weight and still retained the body changes of the Brazilian Butt lift. There’s also a blogpost link about Brazilian Butt lifts in general (Ricardo L. Rodriguez, MD, Baltimore Plastic Surgeon)
