Both men and women can benefit from the procedure as it is not gender-specific. Though popular music and entertainment culture tends to place emphasis on the female figure, many men feel equal pressure to live up to the athletic bodies of professional sports stars. Even without external influences, people can feel self-conscious about how clothing fits their bodies, or how their butts appear in the buff. The butt serves an important role in a person’s physique. A curvy backside can contribute to the look of a slimmer waist and also makes the legs appear more athletic. Definition can be difficult to obtain due to a person’s genetics and ability to build muscle. By adding a layer of fat to the buttocks with the Brazilian Butt Lift, patients can experience a more voluptuous shape. Often, the layer of adipose tissue is minimized due to fat-burning workout plans

The Brazilian Butt Lift is intended to provide long-term results to the aesthetics of the buttocks. In any fat grafting procedure, the entirety of the tissue redistributed may not remain indefinitely. A general estimation is that approximately 40% of the implanted fat can migrate from the area or be reabsorbed by the body. The remaining fat, however, is often considered permanent. For this reason, the doctor may elect to overfill the buttocks to compensate for this initial decrease in volume. If a patient loses weight, the natural fat loss process will also affect the treated region. The Brazilian Butt Lift may best suit patients who do not plan to lose a significant amount of weight after their treatment.

Typically, the harvest site and the implantation site are marked prior to the procedure. This provides the plastic surgeon with a blueprint of which areas to alter. The treatment plan for the Brazilian Butt Lift involves a two-part process, the first of which is a liposuction procedure to harvest a patient’s fat to redistribute to each buttock. Extra fat can be suctioned from a patient’s abdomen, hips, thighs, or other areas of the body where there is excess fat. Once the fat has been removed from the chosen donor sites, it is processed info a more purified form for the best results. Large-gauge syringes are filled with the treated fat which is then administered into designated areas of the buttocks through a series of injections.

Most prerequisites for plastic surgery include good health and realistic expectations for the outcome of the procedure. The Brazilian Butt Lift is unique in that it requires patients to have enough body fat in another area of the body for liposuction to be performed. A patient’s own fat is redistributed to the butt, and the fat-suctioning portion of the procedure is somewhat aggressive. More fat is removed from the body than what will be necessary to complete the lift.

The doctor will typically suction extra fat from three different areas of the body. This provides enough tissue for a usable amount and can create nice curvature of the surrounding areas to emphasize a patient’s buttocks.

The fat is processed in a sterile centrifuge-like machine to separate tissues of varying densities so the surgeon can collect the most viable fat to inject. This step occurs during the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure so the patient can expect the injections the same day.

We provide patients with expert care to ensure the best possible experience while undergoing Brazilian Butt Lift. Following surgery, it can take about one week to recover from the procedure. The surgeon may allow patients to return to their normal schedule but may prohibit strenuous activities, like exercise, for several weeks postoperatively. Patient downtime is expected to be about one week following the surgery. Patients may be asked not to sit on their newly sculpted rear ends for a number of weeks to ensure healthy blood flow to the injected fat. This will lessen volume loss as more fat will remain in each cheek by receiving the nutrients needed to thrive. Special cushions (called a doughnut pillow) can be designed for desk chairs so the buttocks are not impacted, and patients can modify their sleeping positions through the use of a body pillow to ensure they are laying on their sides or stomachs.
