The injection of the fat is a blind procedure: the surgeon cannot precisely place the injecting cannula in exactly the right space because of the thickness of the buttock tissue. The deeper muscle layers are avoided because there are very large pelvic veins in this area. The superficial layer of the buttock muscle is often injected also. The anatomic layer that the fat is injected, is in the space between the buttock muscle and the subcutaneous fat under the skin. Using a liposuction technique, a substantial amount of fat is harvested from other areas of the body, prepared, and then the fat graft is injected into the appropriate strategic locations in the buttock area to produce the desired effect.Ī large volume of fat graft may be injected. The procedure is done under General Anaesthetic with the patient prone (face down). This procedure involves injecting a patient’s own fat into the buttock area to produce a rounder more prominent buttock cheek. In the last few decades, having a larger round buttocks has been popularized by entertainment celebrities and social media.
