Shapely, perky buttocks are no longer achievable only by the young or extremely fit. A Brazilian butt lift uses your body’s own fat to enhance and sculpt your buttocks. Keep reading to learn more about this popular cosmetic procedure and how it is performed.

The Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure
During a Brazilian butt lift, your cosmetic surgeon will use liposuction to remove fat from unwanted areas of your body. Donor areas are sculpted to provide the best cosmetic result after fat removal. The donor fat is processed into a cell-enriched fat graft and injected into the buttocks. During the injection process, the buttocks are shaped and sculpted rather than simply made larger to create a lifted, rounded, and youthful look.

Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery
The Brazilian butt lift procedure involves both liposuction and fat grafting treatments. Your expected recovery period is approximately three weeks, during which the fat grafts integrate with the existing tissue to achieve the best result. Sitting directly on your buttocks during this period is not recommended; instead, you should lie on your stomach to minimize stress on the grafts. Your cosmetic surgeon will provide you with a compression garment to wear that will minimize swelling. Wait at least three to four weeks to resume exercise activities.

Benefits of a Brazilian Butt Lift
A Brazilian butt lift not only augments your buttocks, it removes fat from unwanted parts of your body, improving your overall figure. Because the fat injected into your buttocks during the augmentation is your own, the chances of rejection or failure of the procedure are extremely small. If you choose to use fat from your back or midsection, removing fat from these areas will further accentuate your results.
