Using Your Own Fat To Get More Curves

Written by GLOW Surgical Arts | March 15, 2016

Everyone has a certain body type and shape they’re born with. Although we can tone and improve our bodies with diet and exercise, our basic shapes generally remain the same.

This can be a frustrating realization for people who wish for more shapely buttocks or larger breasts. You work hard to lose weight and get fit, but the womanly figure you’ve envisioned simply doesn’t appear.

Wouldn't you love to eliminate fat from the wrong places and have it distributed to the right ones? You can -- with a fat transfer procedure.

Buttocks fat transfer

Also known as the Brazilian butt lift, buttocks fat transfer is a procedure that has gained national popularity for good reason. Using your own fat in the buttocks can give you that amazing, shapely backside you’ve always wanted while slimming down certain problem areas. It’s like getting the best of both worlds when you’re aiming for a curvy, hourglass figure.

Buttock implants can look unnatural and have a high complication rate. The surgery involves major incisions and extended recovery time — not ideal for most people. But buttocks fat transfer is performed with a series of small injections, not incisions. Your cosmetic surgeon uses your own fat harvested from another area of your body. You don’t need general anesthesia, and there’s no risk of rejection when you’re using your own body tissue. Most patients are thrilled with their new, curvier buttocks and find that results are natural and long-lasting.

Breast fat transfer

Breast augmentation has been safely performed for many years, but some women aren’t ready for implants or want more subtle results. A breast fat transfer is a great way to enhance your bust line using your own fat, and offers less downtime than traditional breast augmentation.

Like a Brazilian butt lift, liposuction is used to gather fat from another area of the body, and is then transferred to the breasts during the same procedure. A skilled cosmetic surgeon places fat in the right places to give you a beautiful, more shapely bust line. And, with the added benefit of reducing fat in another area of the body, most patients are thrilled to see the beautiful figure they've always wanted with slimmer problem areas and curvier, fuller, more attractive breasts.

Both the Brazilian butt lift and breast fat transfer procedures are ideal for busy people who don’t have time for surgery. These procedures are also cost-effective due to the minimally invasive nature of the procedures.

If you’ve wished for great buttocks or bigger breasts but don’t want surgery, you now have options.
