In the constantly-evolving world of beauty standards, there is perhaps no body part that has received more attention and focus in the 2020s than the buttocks. It is probably not a coincidence that this development coincided with mainstream awareness of a game-changing cosmetic procedure: the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). Awake VASER Liposuction with Fat Transfer to glutes is a state of the art cosmetic surgery that yields spectacular, natural-looking and feeling butt enhancement. This form of buttocks augmentation works by redistributing fat to give you a desired shape and body contour without major surgery. Whether you are looking for a board-certified cosmetic surgeon in Los Angeles or any other part of the world, you can bet that there are doctors that specialize in performing these procedures. At Aesthetic and Cosmetic Surgeons in LA, Dr. Jain and a talented body sculptist work together to help men and women achieve their booty goals.

What is Awake Vaser Liposuction Fat Transfer?

Awake VASER Liposuction Fat Transfer comprises a few different surgical techniques working together to transform a patient. First, fat removal using VASER liposuction happens. VASER uses ultrasonic waves to precisely melt fat cells without damaging surrounding tissue. At Aesthetic and Cosmetic Surgeons, this step is always performed as Awake VASER Liposuction, meaning that it is done without the use (and risk) of general anesthesia. Patients are fully conscious and able to provide feedback to the surgeon during the procedure. These factors combine to drastically reduce the impact of the surgery and the recovery time.

Once the unwanted fat has been harvested from problem areas, the fat undergoes a high-tech purification process. Then, the healthy fat cells are used in the fat transfer portion of the procedure. The surgeon targets specific, customized spots to perform fat injections to improve the shape and increase the volume of the buttocks. Because it is the patient’s own body fat, and not a butt implant, this procedure produces natural results without the risk of allergic reaction or the body rejecting the procedure.

The Pros of Awake Vaser Liposuction Fat Transfer to Buttocks

1. Minimally Invasive and Precise As alluded to earlier, Awake VASER liposuction with fat transfer to buttocks is much less impactful than other approaches to gluteal enhancement. This includes older liposuction techniques. The ultrasonic energy yields better, more precise results paired with less tissue damage and better healing.
2. Natural-Looking Results The butt is made of muscle and fat. Adding more fat to that with the fat transfer process enhances the look of your buttocks without changing the way it feels. Prosthetic solutions never become part of the body. They are always implanted foreign objects, and they look and feel different than the surrounding area.
3. Awake Procedure It is always better to avoid general anesthesia if you have the chance to. It is hard on the body, and comes with a significant amount of risk and some unwanted side effects, including slowing the healing process. But an underrated benefit that comes with awake procedures is the ability to communicate with your surgeon when something they’re doing doesn’t feel right. A lot of later discomfort is avoided when patients can speak up for themselves.
4. Dual Benefit Everyone talks about the butt gains that come along with this procedure, but sometimes we forget how impactful the other half of the surgery is. Debulking areas with excess fat has almost as much impact on overall body contouring as the fat graft does. By nature, Awake VASER Liposuction with fat transfer targets larger areas than liposculpture. Common donor site locations include the abdomen, thighs, back and flanks.
5. Quick Recovery As mentioned above, Awake VASER Liposuction fat transfer is a minimally invasive procedure. This means that patients recover faster. The procedure is outpatient and most patients go back to their everyday activities in the next couple of days. Complete healing takes weeks or months, but the starting point isn’t typically debilitating.

The Cons of Awake Vaser Liposuction Fat Transfer to Buttocks

1. Fat Reabsorption Perhaps the most discussed con associated with this procedure is fat reabsorption. In some cases, up to 50% of the fatty tissue injected into the buttocks may be reabsorbed back into the bloodstream. Obviously even in these cases, the glutes have received a significant boost, but it is still disappointing to lose some of the gains. To overcome this, surgeons will fill the area with an excess of fat to make up for the looming reduction. And expert surgeons like Dr. Jain also work heavily on their post-operative protocols to minimize reduction. People that follow his process keep significantly more fat than average patients do.
2. Multiple Sessions Some patients may need more sessions to attain their preferred amount of volume or to achieve their desired body contours. Regardless, each session with the injector brings better and better results. Of course, this isn’t the expectation for most patients.
3. Swelling and Bruising Like any liposuction surgery, there is the possibility of swelling and bruising. It is generally not severe, but it can take several weeks to resolve itself.
4. Infection Risk Infection is possible when you undergo surgery. The risk of infection is drastically reduced by strictly adhering to the surgeon’s instructions on post-operative care, and by opting to work with a talented and experienced cosmetic surgeon.
5. Experience-Dependent Results The overall effectiveness of the procedure is centered on the performance of the surgeon. A specialized, experienced board-certified cosmetic surgeon, like Dr. Jain at Aesthetic and Cosmetic Surgeons in Los Angeles, should be selected to ensure that you achieve the best outcome possible.

What is Unique About Awake Vaser Liposuction Fat Transfer?

Awake Vaser Liposuction And Fat Transfer shines because of the harmonious integration of three key elements: safety, comfort and results. Opting for liposuction where ultrasound energy is used to melt and loosen the fatty tissue guarantees both that the procedure will be gentler and that there will be more quality fat to transfer. The safety level and the quality of the outcome simply can be much better if this technique is used.

Awake patients are patients that can communicate when something doesn’t feel right. They also avoid the risks and side effects associated with general anesthesia. They also generally heal much quicker than patients that have received alternate procedures.

The dual benefits of liposuction and fat transfer work together to completely revamp your body shape. The slimmer surrounding areas only work to better showcase your brand new, shapely, bigger butt.
