A Brazilian Butt Lift, or buttock augmentation surgery, uses a fat transfer to naturally change the shape and fullness of the buttocks. Fat is taken from other parts of the body such as the stomach, hips, and thighs and then transferred into the buttocks. This is also known as fat grafting. Liposuction can sculpt the surrounding area as well as collect fat to be injected. A Brazilian Butt Lift can:
- Increase fullness, roundness, and projection of the buttocks
- Improve your body contour
- Increase your self-confidence
Are you a good candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift? A good candidate for Brazilian Butt Lift would be someone that is physically healthy, unhappy with the size and shape of your buttocks, and has a suitable donor region.
What happens during a Brazilian Butt Lift procedure? The first step of a Brazilian Butt Lift procedure is liposuction. Local anesthesia is given to reduce bleeding and trauma. A thin hallow tube called a cannula is inserted through incisions to loosen excess fat. The dislodged fat is then suctioned out. After the fat is collected, it will be processed. The fat is then transferred with a special cannula through incisions across the buttocks.
What are the results? The results are immediately visible, but it can take up to one year to see the final results. Some of the initial volume and projection may be lost over time as fat is absorbed into your body. Patients retain 60-80% of the transferred fat on average. As you gain or lose weight, your results may change just as with fat anywhere else on your body.
