If you are like most women, one of your most vexing problem areas is your buttocks. You may think that the solution is slimming, but you may not realize that loss of definition and lift is the actual problem. In recent years, a new technique has been developed to help you enhance your buttocks—the Brazilian Butt Lift.  The butt augmentation, or butt lift, offers a slimmer waistline along with fuller, firmer hips.  It re-contours the buttocks by taking fat from other areas of your body—usually the waist, back or thighs—and adding it to targeted areas in the buttocks. This reshapes your entire body to produce a slimmer waist, and more aesthetically pleasing buttocks.

Since 2012, the number of Brazilian Butt Lifts that have been performed has increased 16 percent, making it one of the fastest growing plastic surgeries in the nation. This surge in popularity is due to the relative ease of the procedure and the exceptional results from this procedure.  Join the thousands of others who have amazing bodies as a result of a Brazilian Butt Lift!

How the Brazilian Butt Lift Works

The Brazilian Butt Lift is a cosmetic procedure that begins with a detailed examination of your physique. During this exam, the surgeon will identify fatty deposits which can be removed, usually the waist, thighs, upper back or arms.  You and your physician will discuss where liposuction should be used to slim and re-contour you.  The liposuction and re-contouring will slim and define other problem areas while harvesting tissue for the buttocks graft.

The surgeon will also explain how this excised fat will be re-deposited in key areas of the hips and buttocks to create a firmer, more attractive buttock. While the fat re-insertion does augment the size of the buttocks—making this an ideal procedure for flat, asymmetrical or sagging buttocks—it is primarily for re-shaping this area so that it appears lifted and fuller, while making the waistline appear slimmer.

Recovery and Outcome

The Brazilian Butt Lift involves only minor incisions, so there is almost no chance of significant scarring.  However, there is a recovery component in which the altered buttocks tissue must heal and retain its intended shape. Bed rest may be suggested for recovery In order to heal properly.  During this recovery period, it is important that you not drive or sit directly on your buttocks.

This surgical technique has produced amazing results for patients with a wide range of body types, ages and medical histories.  Because the Brazilian Butt Lift employs liposuction and buttocks re-contouring components, the outcome is almost always a vast aesthetic improvement. With proper weight management, the results from a Brazilian Butt Lift can last years.
