What is a Brazilian butt lift? We are asked this question a lot by patients that are interested in improving their appearance and enhancing their curves. The term is tossed around more frequently in magazines, websites and on social media sites like Pinterest and Instagram but still, a lot of people are confused about the procedure and what it can do for them. Here are our answers to some of the more frequent questions we are asked.
This is a procedure that will improve the overall shape of a patient's buttocks and can also enhance the size of it. This makes it possible to have curves even when someone is relatively thin.
Typically, fat is removed from areas like the thighs, hips or even back and abdomen. This is done through traditional liposuction techniques. In other words, patients typically have their own fat inserted back into them, just in a different place. Naturally, this results in more than one benefit. The buttocks is enhanced while other areas that a patient wishes to be slimmer are reduced in size. A double benefit!
This procedure can often be performed without a scalpel or stitches. This results in minimal downtime. We will discuss the exact nature of the procedure and what we will do when a patient visits our office. Since our solutions are customized for each individual patient, that is the only way to make an exact statement in regards to what will happen. However, in most cases, this is a minimally invasive procedure that has very little downtime.
Most patients can have a Brazilian butt lift without any problems. This includes retirees who are looking to reshape their body. However, there may be certain medical conditions or medical histories that conflict with the procedure and elevate a patient's risk. This makes it important for us to go over a full health history during a consultation. Afterward, we can make a recommendation for whether or not we feel this procedure would be safe and effective.
Yes, this procedure is done using a person's natural fat. In other words, there are no foreign objects that are inserted into the body. Many people prefer the natural aspects of this. By comparison, the traditional procedure enhances the appearance of the buttocks using silicone implants, similar to implants that are placed during a breast augmentation procedure. Both are effective. However, anytime a foreign object is placed in the body there is going to be more risk than when simply using a patient's own fat to create the desired shape and appearance.
