Brazilian Butt Lift

A Brazilian butt lift is a surgical procedure that should only be performed by a qualified plastic surgeon. Cape Fear Valley Health plastic surgeons are known for their artistry and dedication to patient satisfaction.

What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

A Brazilian butt lift uses your own fat to add curves and volume to your buttocks. Your plastic surgeon uses liposuction to transfer fat from different parts of your body and transfer it to your buttocks.

In addition to enhancing the buttocks, a Brazilian butt lift gives your body a more balanced look. A smooth, gradual curve from the breast to the waist and buttocks creates an attractive appearance from head to toe.

What to Expect With a Brazilian Butt Lift

A Brazilian butt lift takes between 3 and 4 hours. With the comfort of general anesthesia, you'll experience a painless process, and you'll be ready to return home once the procedure is complete.

This fat-grafting technique involves using liposuction to extract fat from specific areas like the back, abdomen, hips, or thighs. Not only does this contribute to buttocks enhancement, but it also offers a slimmer appearance in the waist, abdomen, hips, or thighs.

The extracted fat undergoes meticulous processing and purification, selecting only the best cells for injection. Your skilled plastic surgeon strategically injects these cells into the buttocks, creating a natural, smooth, and enhanced contour.

Brazilian Butt Lift Consultation

Your Cape Fear Valley Health plastic surgeon will discuss your treatment goals and carefully evaluate your buttocks. Next, they’ll make tailored contouring recommendations based on your desired results and develop your personalized treatment plan to achieve your goals. 

Are You a Candidate for Brazilian Butt Lift?

Men or women with flat or undersized buttocks with sufficient fat in other areas of the body are excellent candidates. Patients choose this type of procedure if they:

• Have lost weight and decreased the size of their buttocks
• Have tried exercise to enhance the area, without success
• Simply desire a rounder or perkier backside

Procedures work best on patients who:

• Are in good overall health.
• Don’t drink alcohol for two weeks before surgery. (Alcohol acts as a blood thinner, which increases the risk of excess bleeding during surgery.)
• Maintain a stable weight at least six months to a year before surgery.
• Quit using nicotine products 3 to 6 weeks before surgery and 3 to 6 weeks after. (Nicotine increases your risk of surgical complications, like blood clots.)

Why Brazilian Butt Lift is Better Than Implants

The buttocks are a very mobile area. Implants are mechanical devices that are prone to repositioning. With a Brazilian butt lift relying on fat grafting instead of a mechanical device, you won't experience discomfort while sitting.

In addition, a Brazilian butt lift offers:

• Additional liposuction/body sculpting
• Faster recovery time
• No chance of implant rejection
• No implant visibility
• Smaller incisions

Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery and Results

After a Brazilian butt lift, you will need to take 2 weeks off from work. During this time, you should:

• Get plenty of rest.
• Avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for the first three weeks after surgery. This will allow the graft to take hold and will help ensure a long-lasting result.
• Wear your compression garment for two weeks to control swelling.
• Avoid strenuous activities for about 6 to 8 weeks.

You’ll see results from your Brazilian butt lift immediately. However, the ultimate results will not be fully evident until approximately a year after surgery. This waiting period is necessary for the fat to successfully integrate.

Brazilian Butt Lift Risks

While every surgery carries some level of risk, a Brazilian butt lift, when conducted by a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon, typically involves rare serious complications. You can further reduce potential issues by diligently adhering to your plastic surgeon's instructions and advice.

Some risks and complications could include:

• Contour irregularities (from liposuction)
• Fat embolism (from injections)
• Persistent numbness
• Skin infection
• Temporary fluid accumulation
