Gluteal fat transfer considered only after careful anatomical, medical and safety assessment.
Gluteal fat transfer
A Brazilian butt lift combines liposuction with transfer of the patient’s own fat to selected areas of the buttocks. It is a major operation with potentially life-threatening risks and is not suitable for every patient or every requested volume.
Transferred fat cannot create unlimited projection safely. Some fat is reabsorbed, and final volume is unpredictable. Skin laxity, skeletal width and muscle shape affect the visible result. A request that exceeds safe anatomical limits should not be performed.
Recovery includes swelling, bruising, drainage, soreness and restrictions on pressure over the grafted area. Compression and sitting or sleeping instructions are individualized. Travel and blood-clot prevention require careful planning, particularly after combined procedures.
Other possible complications include bleeding, infection, seroma, fat necrosis, cysts, asymmetry, contour irregularity, donor-site deformity, skin injury, loss of transferred volume, blood clots and anaesthetic complications. Revision or further contour treatment may be required.
