In buttocks fat injections, fat cells are removed from parts of the body where the patient has fat to spare like the back, stomach, thighs and flanks. The fat is then injected into the buttocks to create a fuller and rounder butt. The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia by a cosmetic surgeon or board-certified plastic surgeon and takes about one and a half to two hours.
The main difference between buttock injections and the Brazilian butt lift is a simply a matter of terminology. Surgeons may choose one description over the other to better communicate to patients and increase their understanding of the procedure. In buttock injections your surgeon removes fat from parts of your body and re-injects the fat with the best cells back into the buttocks.
Butt Fat Injections
During the buttocks injections, the cosmetic surgeon or board-certified plastic surgeon will then use liposuction to remove fat cells from the abdomen, hip, back and thigh regions. The fat cells are then processed and purified before being re-injected through small incisions into different layers of the buttocks. The process of fat reinjection can involve hundreds of injections. The procedure is designed to fill the upper quadrant of your buttocks so that it appears fuller and lifted.
Advantages to Butt Fat Injections
- More natural than the alternative of buttock implants
- Patients prefer the idea of using their own fat
- Fat transplantation eliminates possibility of rejection by the body
- Small, evenly-distributed incisions result in a smoother look

Disadvantages to Butt Fat Injections
- Thinner patients may not have enough fat cells for procedure (For patients with enough fat cells see butt lift)
- Chance that portion of transferred fat may be reabsorbed by the body
- Patient must wear a special garment to control swelling for two weeks
- Patient must not sit directly on buttocks for up to three weeks.

Celebrities including Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, and even Kate Middleton have sparked an emerging trend in butt augmentation procedures. Plastic surgeons around the world are noticing an increasing demand for buttock implants and butt lifts, and many patients are finding that the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure is especially effective for creating a natural, sculpted look. Unlike butt implants, the Brazilian butt lift involves using the patient’s own body fat to add volume to the buttocks. This can help to create long-lasting and more natural-looking results.
Hydrogel Butt Injections-Alternatives to the Procedure
Hydrogel butt injections are minimally invasive cosmetic procedures that add volume to the buttocks. The main components of the injection solution are water and polyacrylamide. Inside the body, it acts as a filler to add size to the butt for a more shapely look. However, even though hydrogels like Juvederm© and Restylane© are used regularly in the face and lips, hydrogels have not been legalized for use in the buttocks in the United States. You might want to talk to your cosmetic surgeon or board certified plastic surgeon about buttock fat injections.
