A Brazilian butt lift is a surgical procedure that improves the buttocks to create a more voluminous and elevated appearance. The traditional butt augmentation technique is using silicone implants or using fat from your own body.
HOW THE PROCEDURE IS PERFORMED
Fat Transfer:
Fat should be collected from areas of the body that contain bags of excess fat. Liposuction is performed to remove unwanted fat from donor areas, to shape body parts and to provide additional body contour. Purification of the collected fat is necessary to separate the healthier cells and increase the success rate of fat grafting. This process removes impurities, such as excess fluid and debris, in preparation for reinjection into the buttocks and hips. Refined fat is injected into the buttocks and hips (if desired) to shape and refine the contours of the lower body.
Buttock Implants:
For many years they have been positioned as an ideal alternative to improve the silhouette of people, but their influence has declined over time. Implants are not generally recommended as they can cause long-term complications such as movement, the recovery process is longer and there is a risk of stitches opening.
This alternative has excellent results when it comes to patients who are looking for a significant increase in volume or who do not have enough body fat.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER SURGERY
You will notice an instant improvement in the size and projection of your buttocks after a Brazilian butt lift procedure. The final results are visible about three to four months after surgery, and successfully grafted transferred fat cells provide permanent improvement.
RECOVERY
It is important that you do not put pressure on your buttocks and that you avoid sitting or lying down on the area for three weeks. You will receive a compression garment to aid in the healing of the liposuction and the fat transfer area. After two or three weeks you can continue normal activities, taking special care not to bend over, stretch, or put pressure on your buttocks in any way.
Average Procedure Time: 3-4 Hours
Recovery Time: Normal activity: 10 – 14 days; Strenuous activity: 6 – 8 weeks
Recommended Procedure Accommodation: 4 days
