Individuals generally are given anesthesia for the fat transfer portion of the surgery. In total, the surgery takes around two to three hours, and the patient can go home the same day. The surgery takes longer for patients who require the removal and reinsertion of a large quantity of fat.
First, liposuction is performed in a targeted area to remove fat. Typically, the patient chooses either the hips, abdomen, lower back, or thighs. After the fat is extracted, it’s purified in a sterile centrifuge system. After this, the harvested fat is placed into syringes.
The last step is to inject the healthy, processed fat in layers into the butt. The injection site is massaged to make sure the surface remains even and smooth. This last step is repeated until the desired shape is attained.
