+ ARE BUTT IMPLANTS AN OPTION FOR THINNER PATIENTS WHO DO NOT WISH TO GAIN WEIGHT FOR A BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT?

Doctors Plastic Surgeons find that buttock implants are not an ideal solution for patients who cannot provide harvestable fat. They can easily shift out of position and may be obvious in patients with low body fat. Cosmetic fillers are not long-lasting and may not be approved for this use.

+ HOW MANY AREAS OF THE BODY ARE TREATED WITH LIPOSUCTION DURING THE BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT?

The doctor will typically suction extra fat from three different areas of the body. This provides enough tissue for a usable amount and can create nice curvature of the surrounding areas to emphasize a patient’s buttocks.

+ HOW IS THE FAT PURIFIED FOR INJECTION?

The fat is processed in a centrifuge machine to separate tissues of varying densities so the surgeon can collect the most viable fat to inject. This step occurs during the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure so the patient can expect the injections the same day.

+ HOW IS THE FAT INJECTED INTO THE BUTTOCKS?

Autologous fat can be redistributed to the donor site through large-gauge hypodermic needles, or a mini cannula. The same tool that removes fat from the body can replenish the new area. It can require mini incisions that are well camouflaged in the skin.

+ WHAT IS RECOVERY LIKE FOR BRAZLIAN BUTT LIFT PROCEDURES?

Doctors Plastic Surgery provides patients with expert care to ensure the best possible experience while undergoing Brazilian Butt Lift. Following surgery, it can take about one week to recover from the procedure. The surgeon may allow patients to return to their normal schedule but may prohibit strenuous activities, like exercise, for several weeks postoperatively. Patient downtime is expected to be about one week following the surgery. Patients may be asked not to sit on their newly sculpted rear ends for a number of weeks to ensure healthy blood flow to the injected fat. This will lessen volume loss as more fat will remain in each cheek by receiving the nutrients needed to thrive. Special cushions (called a doughnut pillow) can be designed for desk chairs so the buttocks are not impacted, and patients can modify their sleeping positions through the use of a body pillow to ensure they are laying on their sides or stomachs.
