Brazilian Butt Lift (Buttock augmentation)
A shapely buttock is fundamentally important to an attractive feminine body shape. In the last decade, we’ve seen the American public place more importance on a woman’s backside as celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez strut their stuff on the red carpet. However, many women find themselves lacking in this area due to genetics, aging, and body fat shifting. To fix this women are turning to plastic surgery to augment and lift their buttocks. At Changes, we offer the Brazilian butt lift. The Brazilian butt lift is a type of butt augmentation procedure which results in a youthful, prominent, perky buttock and a more sensual body profile. People of all ages are having the butt lift procedure. Dr. Lee removes fat from selected areas of your body, purifies the fat, and then reinjects selected donor fat cells into your buttock. The procedure is designed to fill the upper quadrant of your buttock so that the butt appears lifted and perky. The resulting effect is that the woman appears more attractive and sensuous.
The Brazilian butt lift is not just about a big butt! A Brazilian butt lift enhances the size and shape of your butt so that it better fits your figure. Your figure will first benefit from the liposuction required to harvest the fat. Most commonly liposuction is performed on the back, flanks, abdomen, hips, and thighs. This effect alone will improve your appearance.
The harvested fat is purified and then re-injected into the buttock at various depths and volumes to give you a natural look and feel. The end result is that your figure is dramatically improved by having a rounder, fuller and firmer buttock as well as a slimmed abdomen, legs, and back. Cellulite and dimpling of the buttocks can also be corrected at the same time as the fat grafting.
The augmentation should be permanent when performed by a skilled surgeon. Good diet and exercise will also maintain your overall body shape longer.
This procedure is performed by your triple board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Gilbert Lee, who has been voted by the San Diego Medical Society "Top Doctor" for the past 5 years running. Read more about Dr. Lee's qualifications on his CV.
Schedule a consultation to see if this procedure is right for you. Formal lifting of the buttocks is also available for those with more advanced sagging.
Determining your candidacy for a Brazilian Butt Lift
The best candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift is any person who feels that their buttock is too small or flat and does not match their overall body shape. You must have enough excess body fat to be harvested. Typically this fat is taken from the back, flanks, abdomen, and thighs.
You should be at a stable weight and not be planning on getting pregnant in the immediate future. Assuming you are in good health, patients of any age or gender are candidates for this procedure.
Preparing For Surgery
Along with your plastic surgeon, you play an important role in optimizing your outcome. Follow any pre-surgery instructions as provided by your doctor. You will be asked to stop smoking and to minimize alcohol consumption.
Potential Risks
When a Brazilian Butt Lift is performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, complications are infrequent. All of the Changes surgeons are board-certified plastic surgeons with many years of experience treating thousands of patients. These credentials help ensure the highest standards of care and your utmost safety.
Still, individuals vary greatly in their anatomy, their physical reactions, and their healing abilities. The outcome is not completely predictable. Potential risks include infection, unsatisfactory results, bleeding, adverse reaction to anesthesia, and the need for repeated procedures. Poor healing of the skin is more likely to occur in smokers. You can reduce your risks by closely following your surgeon's advice both before and after surgery.
Post-Surgical Care
As with any surgery, there may be some discomfort during recovery that can be managed with medication prescribed by your surgeon. Swelling and numbness are quite normal for 2 to 3 months following the procedure. Patients are asked to minimize laying or sitting on the buttocks to minimize trauma to the grafted fat. After four months, the fat which remains is likely permanent. Closely follow any other instructions as prescribed by your doctor for the fastest and most comfortable recovery.
Recovery
You will be given more specific guidelines for gradually resuming your normal activities. You will need to avoid strenuous activity for at least two weeks (walking and mild stretching are fine). Avoid alcohol, steam baths, and saunas for several weeks. Above all, get plenty of rest and allow your body to heal.
Your New Look
Most patients are pleased with the final results of their Brailian Butt Lift. The perkiness of the behind and the overall improvement to the body’s shape leaves patients with a more attractive figure and increased self-confidence.
