Have you ever wished you could magically move fat from your stomach, flanks or other areas to a more desirable spot like your buttocks or breasts? It is not magic, but it is possible with body contouring procedures. Using a combination of liposuction and fat grafting procedures, you can slim one area while enhancing another. The two most common fat transfer procedures are the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) and natural breast augmentation, both of which we offer at Maia Plastic Surgery.

Benefits of a BBL Procedure

One of the most popular body contouring procedures in recent years is the BBL. For those with flat or smaller buttocks, BBLs can bolster this area with the transfer of fat from another area, often the abdomen. BBL has the benefit of slimming an area with more fat like the stomach, flanks or thighs while creating a rounder, lifted buttock region at the same time. Since the augmentation uses the patient’s own fat, the results of a Brazilian Butt Lift tend to look and feel more natural compared to implants.

Good candidates for a BBL are those who have good skin elasticity and enough extra fat to remove to transfer to the buttocks. The procedure is performed by liposuctioning fat from the desired area, and then purifying the fat before it is injected into the buttocks. There are no incisions in the buttock area and the incisions for liposuction are very small and easily hidden.

Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer

Like a BBL, a natural breast augmentation uses fat transfer techniques to increase the size of the breasts. Patients can have fat removed from one area of the body and injected into the breasts to increase their size. Liposuction is performed on the desired area, removing enough fat to increase the breasts up to one cup size.

Natural breast augmentation is wonderful for those who want larger breasts but do not want implants. The results look and feel natural with no incision scars, which is very desirable for many individuals. Plus, the area that receives liposuction is made smaller, which can result in a flatter abdomen, smaller waist, reduced love handles, or slimmer thighs.

Recovery from Fat Transfer Procedures

Recovery from breast or buttock fat transfer involves minimal downtime. Patients may experience some swelling and bruising in both the liposuction and fat transfer areas, but this subsides over time. The final results become more apparent as the swelling diminishes, providing a natural-looking breast or buttock enhancement and a more contoured body.

Dr. Maia and her staff are incredibly professional and truly empathetic. They’ve done a beautiful job with the treatments that I’ve gotten and I look forward to coming to the office every single time.

Dr. Maia deserves more than 5-stars! I’m thrilled with my results and I’m less than 3 months post surgery. Dr. Maia is confident and kind, and not at all pushy like other plastic surgeons. I was overly impressed the morning of the procedure. The surgical and hospital staff know her well! They were ready for her and put me at ease while I was getting settled in the OR. I appreciate the team in Dr. Maia’s office for their patience and care. They are just as calm as Dr. Maia.

Nate R.

Mid 40s male who’s always had nasal breathing issues and a dorsal bump. I finally decided to do something about it with a septoplasty/rhinoplasty combo. I met with a few doctors but Dr. Maia stood out. She instilled confidence, and I’m extremely pleased with the results. The surgery was straight forward, and the swelling was surprisingly light. A week later the cast was off and I was on the short road to recovery. Honestly, if I had known it was this easy I would have done it earlier. Thanks Dr. Maia!

I recently had Dysport injected by NP Kristina, and I could not be happier with the outcome. I can already see some of the results few days post-injections! I love how quickly Dysport softens the wrinkles, without giving you the "frozen look". Just in time for the upcoming holidays! Earlier this year, I did 3 Morpheus-8 treatments to my face and neck, and I am CONSTANTLY being complimented on how good my skin looks. Worth every penny! I also had fillers injected by Dr. Maia and Kristina. Dr. Maia did my under-eye, which I am obsessed about... what a change! Kristina injected my lips, chin, jawline, and cheeks. My face looks more proportional and guess what.... I FINALLY HAVE A CHIN :) Thank you, Dr. Maia, Kristina, and the Team. You're the best. I will surely be back for more.

I had tummy tuck and muscle repair with Dr. Maia 3 months ago. I couldn't be happier. I am 44 and I got my 25 year old body back after tummy tuck with Dr. Maia. The initial consult was great. The surgery was fast. The post op care was excellent. Dr. Maia and team assured me that I had great post recovery and everything going okay. I had no complication whatsoever. The incission was very small and low which I love. She is amazing and caring surgeon. He teams are very responsive and wonderful. I am very happy with the result and everything.
