A buttock augmentation with fat, also known as a Brazilian butt lift or buttock augmentation with autologous fat transfer, can be relatively safe when performed by an experienced plastic surgeon and in the proper medical setting. The process involves removing excess fat from other parts of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips, and injecting that fat into the buttocks to make them fuller and rounder.
Although this procedure can be successful in some cases, there are also risks and considerations to keep in mind:
- Competent surgeon: It is essential to choose an experienced plastic surgeon who specializes in fat transfer buttock augmentations. An expert surgeon can perform the procedure safely and effectively and minimize complications.
- Risks and complications: As with any surgical procedure, there are risks associated with fat buttock augmentation. Possible complications include infection, bleeding, asymmetry, fat necrosis (death of fat tissue), irregularities, and thrombosis. The likelihood of complications can vary depending on factors such as individual health status and the surgeon’s skill.
- Recovery time: The recovery process after a fat buttock augmentation can take some time. It may involve discomfort, swelling, and bruising. It is important to follow the surgeon’s instructions and get plenty of rest during recovery.
- Maintenance of results: Not all injected fat survives after the surgery. Some of the fat may be absorbed by the body, which may require additional procedures in the future to maintain the desired results.
It is important to have a thorough consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon before deciding to undergo a fat buttock augmentation. They can assess your individual situation, advise you on the safety and suitability of the procedure, and inform you about possible risks and alternatives.
