Where do doctors get the fat needed for a brazilian butt lift? although i have heard great things about the brazilian butt lift, i am concerned that i do not have enough body fat to do it. what areas of the body do doctors usually use to withdraw fat for

The : The waist, hips and outer thighs are the most common sources of fat; contouring these areas also contribute to the enhancement of the buttocks. Alternative areas include the abdomen and inner thighs as a source of fat. Patients who are naturally thin or who perform above average cardiovascular exercise are less likely to have a "wow" result due to less fat surviving after injection. Patients with low levels of body fat need to understand that the change may be minimal after a few months, due both to availability and survival of the transferred fat for the injection.

A : A brazilian butt lift is performed by transferring fat from areas of abundance to the butt. The fat is removed with liposuction techniques and then prepared for grafting into the buttocks. The procedure is effective but the amount of fat take is not fully predictable. You need to add more fat than desired because some will absorb; the amount of absorption is not predictable. The typical areas of fat removal are the flank, inner thighs, stomach and outer thighs. Discuss your situation with a board certified plastic surgeon to see if you have enough fat to make the procedure worth your while. Best wishes.

Common : Common areas liposuctioned include the back- directly above the butt, the stomach, and the thighs. Note that the liposuction contouring alone can help give the buttocks more shape. The extracted fat is decanted, processed, and centrifuged. Since fat suctioned from these areas is carefully processed and purified such that only a fraction of the donor fat removed will qualify for re-injection to the buttocks, having an adequate amount is important. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to see what your options are.

During : During a brazilian butt lift, fat is harvested from any area that you want fat reduction. The most common areas include the abdomen, flanks (love handles), back, and thighs. Women with very little fat available for transfer are oftem better candidates for silicone gluteal implants. http://www.dassmd.com/index.html.
