Brazilian Butt Lift
The proportion and shape of the buttocks play an important factor in determining a well-proportioned and attractive body. The Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery, when performed by a cosmetic surgeon, can give your buttocks an attractive shape. The cosmetic surgeon uses specialized methods for achieving a rounder, fuller contour.
Brazilian Butt Lift – What is it?
A Brazilian Butt Lift is a specialized fat transfer procedure that aims at augmenting the shape and size of the buttocks without implants. During this procedure, excess fat is eliminated from the lower back, hips, thighs, or abdomen with liposuction, and a part of this fat is strategically administered into the buttocks.
A skilled and trained plastic surgeon can enhance the proportions of the lower body with the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure, helping a patient lose fat in common areas of problems and improve the buttocks, with the outcomes lasting several years. In recent years, it has become one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures.
Why have a Brazilian Butt Lift?
The proportion and shape of the buttocks of a person and are determined by genetics – both skeletal structure and how a body stores fat deposits in the appearance of a lower-body part. A regular exercise and a healthy diet help in achieving an ideal body weight and toned muscles. However, many patients are not happy with their ‘flat’ buttocks that lack shape, irrespective of a healthy lifestyle.
It is this cosmetic surgery procedure that can help in overcoming the genetics effects by reshaping the buttocks as well as surrounding parts, such as the thighs, hips and lower back. There are other reasons for undergoing Brazilian butt lift including to:
- Help clothes fit perfectly
- Improve the curves of the lower body
- Have a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing shape to your otherwise flat buttocks
- Reduce pockets of fat on your thighs, belly or hips while adding fullness to the buttocks
How is Brazilian Butt Lift Performed?
There are three steps involved in the Brazilian Butt lift procedure.
- Fat deposits are removed from the thighs, hips, abdomen, lower back, or/ and other parts using the liposuction technique.
- The fat extracted through this procedure is purified and prepared for transfer
- The plastic surgeon injects purified fat into specific parts on the buttocks for improving the shape and increasing volume
The surgery, in most cases, is performed as an outpatient procedure. The procedure is performed under intravenous sedation with local anesthesia or general anesthesia. It is typical for a part of the injected fat not to take in its new place. An experienced and qualified cosmetic surgeon would consider this and might initially inject a slightly greater amount of fat into the buttocks than is required to ensure the final results are close to the desired goals.
Recovery after Brazilian Butt Lift
When it comes to undergoing surgery on the buttocks, it is important to take care of the surgical site once the procedure is done. While pain is minimal and can be easily controlled through medication, you would not be allowed to lie or sit directly on your buttocks for nearly two weeks after the procedure.
During the recovery time, you have to sleep on your side or stomach, and either stand or lie this way for all activity except at the time of using the toilet. Your cosmetic surgeon would tell you when to sit in a modified position, or placing a pillow under the thighs, or use a donut seat for avoiding pressure on the buttocks. You can resume normal activities eight weeks after the procedure.
Results
It might take six to seven months to see the actual results. Usually, the results last for a lifetime provided a person can maintain a stable weight.
