Fat transfer, also called fat grafting, involves taking fat from one area of the body and moving it to another area of the body. This procedure is done to increase volume in specific areas, and it is an effective method to shrink certain parts of your body and enhance others. Small volume fat transfer usually involves 30 mLs or less (several tablespoons), while large volume fat transfer can add up to 1 liter (several cups). At GLOW Surgical Arts, we offer small volume fat transfer for face and hand rejuvenation, and large volume fat transfer for buttocks enhancement, also known as a Brazilian butt lift.

What to expect from your large volume fat transfer consultation

During the consultation, you will learn more about the procedure, including what to expect before, during, and after large volume fat transfer. You’ll also meet our doctors and staff, have an opportunity to review before and after fat transfer photos, and ask any questions.

Buttocks fat transfers vs. buttocks implants

Not sure if fat transfer or buttocks implants are the right choice? At GLOW Surgical Arts, we have elected not to offer buttocks implants, which require a full-fledged surgical procedure that involves substantial recovery time and carries a high risk of complications. We consider the buttocks fat transfer procedure to be much safer and cost friendly, while still offering positive results.

What to expect from a buttocks fat transfer procedure

All of our buttocks fat transfer procedures are performed at our Redwood City, California, cosmetic surgery office. This procedure does not require general anesthesia; we use local tumescent anesthesia along with oral medications. This leads to a faster recovery with an overall lower risk, and best of all, the results are typically long-lasting and satisfactory.

After your consultation

We will gladly provide a quotation for your buttocks fat transfer procedure in California. As always, your consultation is free, and you are under no obligation to receive treatment at GLOW Surgical Arts. We always encourage our patients to take as much time as needed to decide if and when to pursue our treatment recommendations.
