Buttock Augmentation (Brazilian Butt Lift) FAQ
The following are frequently asked questions (and answers) about Buttock Augmentation (Brazilian Butt Lift):
What is the Brazilian butt lift?
The Brazilian butt lift is a type of butt augmentation procedure which results in youthful, perky buttocks and a more sensual body profile. Fat is removed from selected areas of your body and then injected into your buttocks. The procedure is designed to fill the upper quadrant of your buttocks so that the butt appears lifted and perky. The resulting effect is a more attractive and sensuous body.

How is the Brazilian butt lift performed?
The buttock is first contoured by performing liposuction in the stomach and areas around the buttocks such as the back- directly above the butt, the stomach, and the thighs. The liposuction alone will give your body a more attractive look.
The harvested fat is specially processed to prepare it for injection. The fat is then transferred to the buttocks with special cannulas. This is done in a way that enables the fat cells to receive an adequate blood supply so that it can survive once inside the buttocks tissue.
An additional benefit of the Brazilian butt lift is that you not only get a more attractive buttock, but the area that was liposuctioned is now more contoured as well.

What kind of results can I expect?
Newly shaped buttocks will usually feel natural after the healing process. Since the additional shape is created by the patient's own living cells, the result will look and feel normal. Patients will not even be able to distinguish which areas have been grafted.
|
How long do the fat injections last?
The fat can potentially last a lifetime. It all depends on how the fat is harvested and processed. Most patients enjoy years of benefit from this procedure.
|
Is the procedure safe?
The Brazilian butt lift is a well tolerated procedure. It is no more risky than liposuction, which is the most common plastic surgical procedure preformed in the US.
|
When can I go back to work?
Following the butt augmentation procedure, you must not sit directly on your buttocks for at least one week. Most people can return to work in 2 weeks, provided you do only a minimum amount of sitting. You must wear a special garment (to control swelling) for two weeks. There may be a small amount of swelling for up to 6 weeks. However, you should be able to resume all normal activities at 4 weeks post op.
