Buttock augmentation using fat transfer involves removing unwanted fat from another area of the body and injecting it into the buttocks to improve its size, shape, or profile. Unlike augmenting the buttock with implants, there is no risk of rejection, movement, or visibility of the implant beneath the skin, or an unnatural look or feel. By using fat harvested from the patient’s own body, the most natural results can be achieved.
There are two primary steps in buttock augmentation using fat transfer – liposuction and fat injection. Once a local anesthetic has been injected, our doctor makes tiny incisions in the area where fat is being removed. Common locations include the abdomen, flanks, and thighs. The doctor then inserts a tiny thin tube, called a cannula, through the incision, gently suctioning excess fat from the targeted area.
Next, the removed fat, tissue, and blood are processed to obtain the pure fat material for the injections. Once our doctor has obtained the fat, she uses a special syringe to inject the fat into the buttocks. This is done by injecting fat at strategic locations on the buttocks based on the patient’s specific goals.
You should expect a small amount of swelling and bruising around the liposuction and injection sites.
This should dissipate naturally over the coming weeks. After the procedure, you will be given specific instructions for your recovery, which may include:
While the results of buttock augmentation are immediately visible, swelling in the treated area may make it difficult to see the results. In addition, it can take up to a year for your body to fully accept the injected fat. Once the fat has been incorporated into the area, the results look and feel very natural. Some loss of volume is to be expected, as the body will absorb a portion of the fat. Most of our patients retain about 80% of the injected fat. You should also be aware that weight loss or gain can affect fullness in the area.
Candidates for buttock augmentation using fat transfer typically have one or more of the following goals:
In order to undergo buttocks augmentation using this method, there must be a sufficient amount of unwanted fat on another part of the body. Candidates must also be in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the procedure.

I would like to know what your average price for a Buttock Augmentation Procedure.
It ranges in the thousands. Proper evaluation is needed to determine the exact cost. It largely depends if adipose tissue just needs to be harvested for re-injection into the buttocks or if proper liposuction/lipocontouring in the harvest area is also desired.
How much do you charge (rough estimate) for a fat transfer to the face and a mini tummy tuck?
Fat transfer to face is around 10K. While we do not offer tummy tucks, you might be a candidate for liposuction with laser skin tightening. In the right person, results with this are much more natural than a tummy tuck.
Can this technique be applied to enhance/increase fullness in the hip area rather than the buttocks? Do you give consideration to obese (but otherwise healthy) patients as candidates for augmentation?
Yes, fat can be used to increase the contour of the hips for increased “flare”. Obesity does not prevent one from being a candidate for fat transfer, although goals for the procedure should be discussed during the consultation.
Hello I’m looking to fill in hip dips. I’m trying to find an affordable procedure. I looked into sculptra injections but the price seemed a little outrageous. I do not have enough fat on my stomach area to be transferred. Do you have any other suggestions?
Fat is the best material to be injected. If you do not have enough to harvest (it does not take a lot), I am unaware of options other than synthetic fillers.

I am looking to do the fat transfer. Will the fat that will be injected into my rear ever dissolve requiring more procedures? And is this an outpatient procedure?
Fat transfer to the buttock is an outpatient procedure. Most of the transferred fat will “take” and be part of the new you. The fat that is still present after 6 months is there to stay. Our figure changes over time, which we attribute to changes in muscle and bone. Our body fat changes with weight loss and weight gain. The newly transferred fat is subject to the same weight loss and gain as the original fat.
