About Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery

A Brazilian butt lift is a type of fat transfer procedure. Fat transfer procedures remove fat from one area of the body and inject it into another area – such as the butt, breasts, or face - to enhance or augment it. The greatest perk of fat transfer procedures is that they essentially shrink one area while adding volume to another. If a patient is concerned with a pocket of fat on the abdomen or hips, it can be transferred to the butt to add curves.

A Brazilian butt lift involves using Liposuction in the donor fat region with re-injection of the donor fat to the buttocks. The combination between liposuction and fat injections ensures that the right areas look lean, and the butt looks prominent and shapely. Our plastic surgeon removes fat from a selected area of the body, such as the back, abdomen, hips, or thighs. The fat is purified and processed so that only the best tissue is selected for re-injection. The surgeon then injects the fat into the butt to enhance its shape and size. Typically the fat is injected into the upper quadrants to provide a “lifting” effect. However, the exact size and shape will depend on the patient’s desires and the surgeon’s recommendations.

Patients may experience some bruising and swelling after the procedure, but this should dissipate quickly, giving way to overall pleasing results.
