With back and forth motions of the cannula the fat in the butt area is loosened. This extracted fat is then vacuumed out into a syringe.

The second step involves administration of fat injection in buttocks. The amount of fat suctioned is almost three times that might be required for buttock augmentation.The fat, tissue and blood removed are processed before these fat injections are injected into the buttocks through multiple injection sites.
