2. Fat is extracted through liposuction with the help of suction tubes from the selected site. To insert the cannula a tiny incision is made. Donar site is the area of the body that has excess fat tissue such as hip thighs, abdomen or back.
3. The harvested fat is processed and purified for the transfer.
4. Using a syringe connected to the cannula the fat is reinjected. To inject fat three small incisions are needed in general. The cannula is moved back, and forth and the fat is grafted at multiple levels in layers to ensure that fatty tissue is deposited in the recipient area smoothly to augment and reshape the butts.
5. The incisions are closed with absorbable sutures.
