A Brazilian Butt Lift, also known as a Lipo Brazilian Butt Lift, is a specialty fat transfer procedure that naturally augments the shape and size of a person’s butt without implants. Excess weight is often removed from the sides, back, hips, or thighs using liposuction, and a thin, small portion of this excess fat is then strategically injected directly into the butt. A plastic band is used to compress the fat, which tightens the skin, and it is then tightened again after surgery. This process permanently shapes the buttock, making it more youthful and firm.
Before undergoing a Brazilian Butt Lift, patients must be committed to a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, quitting smoking, and avoiding alcohol and certain foods because these can cause excessive swelling and permanent scarring. In the patient’s own home, a special computerized camera will track the progress of the liposuction while pictures are taken every few hours. These pictures will then be submitted to the plastic surgeon at the hospital for approval before surgery. The Brazilian Butt Lift requires several visits to the hospital, with each visit varying in duration and number of sessions. During the first few days after the procedure, patients may experience some soreness, and may have some bowel and bladder problems, but they should not avoid eating or drinking completely because this can make matters worse.
Because Brazilian Butt Lift is a cosmetic surgery, patients are advised to seek a second opinion from a specialist who specializes in body contouring. Specifically, the specialist will be able to advise on whether the patient would be best suited for a Brazilian Butt Lift in addition to other types of liposuction, fat transfers, and breast augmentations. During the consultation, the doctor will take into consideration the patient’s weight loss, health history, as well as other factors such as the desired results. If the Brazilian Butt Lift seems like the right procedure for you, it is important that you trust the professional who is performing your surgery. Only then can you be sure that your results will be permanent and that your appearance will improve as time goes on.
