Brazilian Butt Lift

Patients who desire buttock augmentation without implants, have healthy skin in the hips and buttocks, and have sufficient fat deposits in other body parts are good candidates for a Brazilian butt lift. Patients who desire to improve the size and form of their buttocks and have realistic expectations about the procedure are ideal candidates.

During your recovery, you will wear a compression garment to help the areas that fat cells are removed from, as well as the buttock areas that they are placed, to heal with the best possible contour. You can expect to return to work and most normal activities within two weeks, though it will take several weeks to months to see your long-term outcomes emerge. Because your fat cells are alive, they are dynamic and will continue to change with you as you gain or lose weight throughout your life. This may result in changes in appearance of the grafted areas if your weight change is substantial.

A Brazilian butt lift should last indefinitely, but if enough fat does not survive, your surgeon may need to repeat the treatment after you’ve healed to attain the desired results. Because fat does not have its own natural blood supply, its placement is critical for survival. Typically, surgeons transfer more fat than necessary to make up for fat that does not survive.
