Fat transfer to hips and buttocks in Monterrey with Dr. Valdés
Body shape is more than size - it's about proportion. If you feel that your hips or buttocks lack volume, roundness or harmony with the rest of your figure, fat transfer may offer a natural solution.
What is fat transfer to the hips and buttocks?
Also known as lipofilling, this surgical technique involves three key steps. First, liposuction is performed to extract fat from areas with excess, such as the abdomen, waist, flanks, or thighs. Then, the fat is carefully purified to ensure it is safe and viable for reinjection. Finally, the fat is strategically injected into specific areas of the buttocks and/or hips to enhance volume, shape, and contour.
Unlike implants, fat transfer uses your own tissue, resulting in a softer, more natural look and feel. The procedure can help round out the buttocks, add volume to the hips, or enhance the overall body silhouette, depending on your unique goals.
The surgery lasts approximately 2 to 3 hours and is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or regional anesthesia. It is an outpatient procedure. Initial recovery takes about 14 days, and final results are typically seen between 3 and 6 months after surgery.

Benefits of transferring fat to the hips and buttocks
With the right proportions, a subtle change in contour can change the way you feel on your clothes and on your skin. Here's what fat transfer can offer:
Natural look, feel and movement
When using fat, the result is soft, organic and responsive; unlike implants, which can feel firm or artificial.
Double body contouring in a single procedure
By removing fat from stubborn areas such as the abdomen, waist or flanks, and transferring it to the hips or buttocks, Dr. Valdés creates a more defined and harmonious silhouette from all angles.
Personalized shape enhancement
Whether your goal is to round out hip dips, add volume to flat buttocks or refine the fullness of the top and bottom, fat grafting offers a personalized shape that respects bone structure and overall structure.
Meet these real patients stories
Are you ready for a transformation you can trust?
You deserve more than just a great result.
You deserve a surgeon who listens to you, explains you and is there for you, before, during and long after surgery.
Do you have any questions?
We're here to help. Send us your questions and our team will respond clearly and carefully. Your comfort, safety and peace of mind are important to us.
Will I lose results if I lose weight?
Yes, since fat behaves like any other fat in the body, it can shrink with significant weight loss. Maintain a stable weight is key to achieving long-term results.
Is it safer than implants?
Fat transfer avoids risks related to implants, such as capsular contracture, rupture, or foreign body sensation. However, fat grafting must be done with anatomical precision to avoid rare but serious complications. Dr. Valdés uses techniques that avoid deep vessel structures and maximize safety.
Will my results look natural?
Absolutely. That is one of the main advantages of this procedure. Because fat is its own tissue, it feels soft, moves naturally, and integrates into its current shape without abrupt transitions or exaggerated volume.
How long should I avoid sitting after surgery?
You'll need to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks to 10 to 14 days, using a BBL pillow or in a lateral position. Dr. Valdés will provide detailed postural guidelines to protect the outcome during healing.
