Buttock Fat Transfer

The buttock fat transfer technique is suitable for people who are looking to increase the volume and improve the shape of their buttocks and have excess fat in other areas of the body. The results of this method are natural and long-lasting, and with proper post-operative care, an attractive and proportionate appearance can be achieved. Also, using the person’s own body fat reduces the risk of allergic reactions and brings more natural results.

Fat transfer to the buttocks includes the following steps:

Using Lipomatic or VASER Lipo in this process allows for high-precision fat removal with minimal damage to tissues.

To increase the size of the buttocks through fat transfer, the amount of fat that can be injected depends on the physical condition and the techniques used. Typically, between 500 and 750 milliliters of fat are injected into each side of the buttocks, but with the use of more advanced methods and consultation with a Tehran cosmetic doctor, more volume can be transferred safely and without side effects. For more detailed advice, it is best to contact an experienced professional.

Individuals who have excess fat in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, and whose buttock skin has good elasticity, can be suitable candidates for this procedure.

Regarding fat transfer to the buttocks, there is no specific age that can be considered ‘ideal’; rather, an individual’s suitability depends on several factors, including:

1. Amount of harvestable fat: For fat transfer, it is essential to have sufficient fat in other areas of the body. In younger ages, there might not be enough fat reserves for harvesting.
2. Tissue and skin quality: With increasing age, skin elasticity decreases, which can affect the final result.
3. Overall health and medical history: Having good overall health and no chronic diseases are important considerations.
4. Body weight stability: Frequent weight fluctuations can affect the results of the surgery. For this reason, individuals whose body weight is relatively stable are usually considered better candidates.

In general, many plastic surgeons consider people between the ages of 25 and 55 to be suitable candidates, but this range is only a general framework and each person should be evaluated individually. It is recommended to consult with Dr. Gholamhossein Ghorabi, a specialist in plastic and cosmetic surgery, to determine the appropriate time and review your individual circumstances.

Also, a body mass index (BMI) of over 25 is desirable for this procedure, indicating that there is enough fat to be harvested and injected. Patients who have immune system problems, uncontrolled diabetes, or high blood pressure, or who are taking medications that weaken the immune system, are not good candidates for buttock injection.

The longevity of fat injection for the buttocks depends on various factors and varies from person to person. Usually, a portion of the injected fat is absorbed by the body within the first few months; however, the remaining fat, which adapts to the body’s tissues and receives blood supply, has a longer duration. In many cases, the results of this method are semi-permanent and last for several years. To increase longevity, choosing a skilled surgeon, following post-operative recommendations, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and avoiding drastic weight changes are very important. Additionally, the use of advanced fat harvesting and injection techniques and the quality of the extracted fat also significantly impact the durability of the results.
