As long as you have enough harvestable fat you want to remove and transfer to the buttocks, this is the procedure for you. We have no BMI or age restrictions, so don't hesitate to schedule your free consultation today! 

Regardless of your goals, our surgeons make sure only to target the pockets of fat preventing you from looking your best. See for yourself in both our testimonials and before-and-after photos.

Any area of the body with enough excess fat can be used as a donor site for the PowerBBL™. The most common such areas are the stomach and back, as these are larger enough for most patients to complete a fat transfer to the buttocks. Another popular option for this procedure is the inner thighs and arms.

AirSculpt fat transfers to the buttocks are superior to implants in every regard – safety, results, and longevity. Thanks to our gentle technique, AirSculpt patients avoid being put under, skip the painful recovery, and enjoy faster healing. Implants, comparatively, require general anesthesia and result in noticeable scarring. Patients receiving implants incur added risks of autoimmune diseases if the body rejects the foreign material within it, and aesthetically, they tend to look eerily unnatural. Implants can also move around over time and cause rippling, whereas a patient's fat will settle in a balanced manner that accentuates one's natural contours.

The amount of fat needed for a PowerBBL™ depends on the patient's specific goals and the amount of volume they have in their buttocks coming into the treatment. Patients with more prominent backsides and those looking for rounder buttocks will require less fat than those with flatter backsides and those aiming to add projection and fullness to their buttocks.

The PowerBBL™ requires an entry point directly on the side of both cheeks and one more just above the crease of the buttocks.  

No AirSculpt procedure, including the PowerBBL™, has a BMI requirement.

A full PowerBBL™ takes roughly two hours to complete.

Recommended downtime is typically around 48 hours, and because AirSculpt® patients endure far less risk, they can walk out under their own power right after the procedure. Some have even reported running an errand or going out to a light dinner soon after their buttock augmentation.

Most can return to work within three to five days of their procedure, but patients should refrain from exercising or going to the gym for up to two weeks unless advised otherwise by the surgeon. Patients will also be asked to avoid sleeping on and applying pressure to the treated area for two weeks. 

Patients can sit down after a PowerBBL™, but should use the pillow we provide for the first few weeks and as long as the surgeon advises.

Massages are not necessary following any AirSculpt procedure.  

Patients should stay off their butt for two to three weeks after a PowerBBL™, which means sleeping on their stomach and using the seat pillow whenever sitting down.

Any area of the body with enough excess fat can be used as a donor site for the PowerBBL™. The most common such areas are the stomach and back, as these are larger enough for most patients to complete a fat transfer to the buttocks.

Patients should wait at least two weeks before resuming strenuous exercise after AirSculpt but can begin taking light walks right away.

No, patients should sleep on their tummies for two to three weeks after a PowerBBL™.

Fat removed during an AirSculpt® session is permanently removed and will not come back to that body part. If you gain weight after your procedure, the fat will appear anywhere but the treated area, so your new proportions tend to be preserved even in this scenario. We, therefore, recommend a healthy diet and exercise following your AirSculpt® treatment. 

Regarding the area that was enhanced during an AirSculpt fat transfer, results will be permanent after the initial reabsorption that ensues any natural fat graft. Dramatic weight fluctuations can also affect results, although newly achieved proportions should remain relatively intact.

The power-automated nature of AirSculpt technology allows surgeons to remove and transfer fat by the cell. This means they can transfer the exact amount of material needed to deliver balanced, proportional results.

We recommend spending 48 hours in the city you were treated in before flying home. 

Elite does not offer a buttock fat removal procedure.

No. Patients must always use their own fat to achieve a successful fat transfer, which is why we advise that a sufficient amount of harvestable fat is needed for such procedures.

We do not recommend gaining weight simply to achieve a successful buttock augmentation or any other fat transfer.

Yes, we can make the buttocks and/or hips area wider.

Patients can target tailbone fat and augment their buttocks simultaneously, as doing so can help accentuate one's natural feminine curvature.

We can transfer fat to both the hips and the buttocks as long as enough harvestable fat is available. Doing so helps round out a patient's desired hourglass figure and fills in undesired hip dips. 

Fat transfers using traditional liposuction are riskier than AirSculpt® fat graft treatments, as they are far more abrasive, less precise, and involve general anesthesia. Because liposuction-based fat transfers use manual tools to graft fat, they tend to result in lumpy, asymmetrical changes that can make patients cringe. AirSculpt's power-automated technology ensures perfectly symmetrical results are achieved, even if a patient had unbalanced body features coming into treatment. Patients always stay awake and avoid painfully unnecessary elements like needles, scalpels, and stitches.

The quality of the fat collected, how well the material is purified, and a patient's physical characteristics can all affect the survival rate of grafted fat. The use of patented AirSculpt technology and our closed purification system ensures only the best cells are harvested, further reducing the risk of infection and increasing the fat’s survival rate. Surgeons will also talk with a patient beforehand to understand their treatment goals and plan how much extra fat to graft when accounting for natural reabsorption. Patients generally reabsorb about 30 percent of the fat transferred after the procedure. 

If they do form, scars will appear as two-millimeter-wide freckle-sized marks wherever an entry point was made.

Yes, we can transfer uneven amounts of fat or even only treat one buttock, if desired, to ultimately achieve balanced results.

Since patients should avoid putting pressure on their buttocks and refrain from sitting for at least two weeks, we advise waiting this long at a minimum.

Unless your flanks or lower abdomen were treated, in which case size could decrease, one's waist size should not be impacted by the PowerBBL™. 

Yes, men can receive any AirSculpt fat graft procedure, including a fat transfer from the abdomen to the buttocks, hands, or hips.

The Up a Cup™ will provide a subtle to moderate lift to the buttocks in addition to augmentation. However, a dedicated buttock lift also includes cutting out and even folding excess skin, which AirSculpt procedures never do. 

No, age will not affect the results of an AirSculpt buttock enhancement. The only requirement is that patients are over 18 years of age.

Patients should wait at least two to three weeks before resuming strenuous activity, and entry points should be fully closed before one considers swimming. 

We do as little to the grafted material as possible before transferring it, as tinkering with the fat can decrease its viability and harm one's results. All we do to the fat is add antibiotics before injecting it and use gravitational energy to separate high-quality fat from the rest of the material with our closed-loop purification system.

During an AirSculpt fat transfer, you’ll feel some vibration but not pain. We provide painkillers, numb the treated area beforehand, and give the patients the additional option of laughing gas if they feel like they need it. Patients describe the actual fat removal and transfer steps as similar to a deep-tissue massage or electric toothbrush-like sensation. Since AirSculpt® is minimally invasive and takes extra steps to be gentle on the body, recovery is far less painful than traditional options. 

Patients should wait at least two weeks before resuming strenuous exercise after AirSculpt but should begin taking light walks right away to help the body's circulation. Wearing the provided garment and pillow cushion are also recommended for at least two weeks. Otherwise, recovery is the same as any other AirSculpt treatment!

Patients should first and foremost follow their surgeon’s specific instructions. Blood thinners, aspirin, ibuprofen, and omegas must be avoided prior to treatment (take Tylenol for pain if needed instead). Patients should avoid applying lotion or body cream to the treated area, and refrain from consuming caffeine and tobacco on the day of the surgery, plus no alcohol the night before or day of AirSculpt. If you are diabetic, please bring your glucose testing meter and testing strips so we can test your levels before the procedure. Patients should pick up medication before coming in but not take any. Finally, we recommend wearing dark, loose clothing and eating a large meal before arriving so medication is not taken on an empty stomach.
