Buttock augmentation with fat, also known as Brazilian buttock augmentation or buttock augmentation with autologous fat transfer, can be relatively safe when performed by an experienced plastic surgeon and in the right medical environment. 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.
While this procedure can be successful in some cases, there are also risks and considerations to take into account:
- Competent surgeon: It is essential to choose an experienced plastic surgeon who specializes in buttock augmentation with fat transfer. 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 buttock augmentation with fat. Possible complications include infection, bleeding, asymmetry, fat necrosis (death of fatty tissue), irregularities and thrombosis. The risk of complications may vary depending on factors such as individual health status and the skill of the surgeon.
- Recovery time: The recovery process after buttock augmentation with fat can take some time. It may be accompanied by 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 of the injected fat survives after surgery. Some of the fat may be absorbed by the body, which may require additional procedures in the future to maintain desired results.
It is important to have a thorough consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon before deciding to undergo buttock fat 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.
