This procedure involves taking your own fat through a liposuction procedure to place in areas where there is volume loss. Dr. Yager will extract a sufficient amount of fat from your abdomen, thighs or back, and prepare it to be injected into the buttock. Since he injects your own fat, there is no chance of allergic reaction. Each patient has different aesthetic goals, so fat grafting is customized to each patient’s desires. Although uncommon in our practice, it can be used to improve facial contours that have changed over time. This is a two-stage procedure; fat is harvested and then injected. It is commonly done in our practice in conjunction with other body reshaping procedures or as a stand-alone procedure. Although some fat will survive permanently, you will need a touch up in one to two years to maintain a lasting result. Using your own fat is also a safer alternative to buttock implants. Buttock reshaping is a very popular procedure in our practice, especially among our Latina patients, and is often combined with tummy tucks and liposuction.
