The Brazilian butt lift is a procedure that removes unwanted fat from one area of the body and places it into the butt, lifting the butt to create a rounder, more sensual appearance. This procedure is recommended instead of implants, and has the added benefit of simultaneously slimming down another area of the body. If you’re considering a Brazilian butt lift, here’s what you need to know.
What is the process like?
The Brazilian butt lift procedure is performed as an outpatient procedure. It begins with liposuction to remove fat from the body. This fat is then purified to create the best fat cells possible before being injected back into the body. The fat is injected around the hips and butt. The location of the injections depends on what type of results the patient wants and how much fat is being injected. After this procedure, you should expect to take about a week off work, and will have to take special care when sitting for 2-3 weeks.
Do I have enough fat?
The amount of fat required for your Brazilian butt lift will vary depending on the results you desire. When you schedule a consultation at Southeastern Aesthetic Surgery, Dr. Troy Austin will walk you through the treatment process and determine if you are a good fit for a Brazilian butt lift.
Why should I avoid implants?
Implants are generally advised against because implants are not as reliable as using fat from your own body. First of all, implants can shift. This means even if you are happy with your initial results, those results can change later in life. These implants are also susceptible to infection, which isn’t as much of a risk with a Brazilian butt lift because it uses the body’s own fat.
