Many women are satisfied being skinny while some others want a killer figure with a big ol’ booty. How about we skip the gym and look at surgical options – who doesn’t like a short-cut? Fat transfer to the buttocks, most commonly known as Brazilian butt-lift, is as of today, the simplest and quickest surgical option available for you to get that backside contoured to taste, while leaving you with a beautiful, super trimmed waist.
What is this sorcery? 😀
Fat transfer to the buttocks essentially involves using living tissue from your very own body, so don’t fret, there’s no foreign material being imported. Before Brazilian butt-lift became the thing, surgeons had to rely on implants – which of course had a lot of problems. Thankfully, times have changed. Fat cells are now being harvested from non-tenacious donor parts of your body and then in-grafted in the tunnels of the new part i.e. the butt.
How safe though?
The process of fat transfer to the buttocks is considerably safe as small narrow tubes which are properly coated with the adequate material are used for harvesting those fat cells in order to prevent cell rupture. Also donor parts are carefully thought out and include; the lower abdomen, flanks, thighs, knees, hips, and/or lower back. These areas are less clingy to their fat cells so harvesting from these parts will not be traumatic. After harvesting the said fat cells, the next thing a surgeon will do is begin a purification and separation process where the fat cells are separated from other tissues. Having done that, the pure fat cells are carefully injected to the butt’s receptor tunnels.
Sounds easy? Not really!
Okay, the fat transfer to the buttocks is done, so what next?
Actually, whether the fat grafts will survive its new environment largely depends on the individual. Many surgeons report 50 – 70% survival rate in most patients, however, for a very small ratio of patients, none of the new fat grafts survive. For survival cases, the result is a big ol’ booty like Kylie’s. There’s also a bonus for those patients where their donor part was their abdomen – WAISTed!
Is my big ol’ booty everlasting?
Ummm…I don’t think so! It’s really important that you have realistic expectations. There are so much factors to consider after you’ve done a fat transfer to the buttocks. First, the individual (like I always say – genetic makeup, yada-yada-ya…). Second, is it really possible to stay the same size all year round? Our bodies pass through various stages of weight gain and weight loss which can significantly alter the contour and appearance of your new booty. If you put on some pounds (say from pregnancy) and want to lose them, unfortunately, your body cannot choose where to shed that fat from so it will come off from everywhere – the butt included. I know, I’m a killjoy!
Be happy though – it is actually very, very long lasting. Surgeons usually opine that fat grafts that survived 5 months post Brazilian butt-lift will endure for a long term and luckily, it doesn’t require any form of maintenance, I mean it’s just fat! Plus, if you really need to, nothing stops you from revisiting, right? Just in case you lost them.
Is a Brazilian butt-lift for everyone?
By all means, NO! You can’t just knock on a surgeon’s door and say ‘hi, I’m here to carry out a fat transfer to the buttocks’. Are you in great health? Do you have excess fat in donor parts? Do you have a great skin tone? Are you patient? Are your expectations realistic? If you can answer these questions, then YES! Go right ahead, the world of ‘big booties’ is yours for the taking.
Benefits? Sure!
First, fat transfer to the buttocks is natural. No aliens are planted in your body, it’s still just you from another part of you ;). Second, it’s soft to the touch and feels absolutely natural. Third, don’t worry about scars, they’re so minimal and will blend in over time. Fourth, it’s super long lasting. Lastly, it’s a short-cut that is worth it!
