Give Your Butt a Boost With the Brazillian Butt Lift
A curvy backside is very fashionable right now, and the size and shape of your buttocks can significantly affect how good you look in clothing. If Mother Nature didn’t bless you in that department, you can still have the body you desire. A Brazilian butt lift may be just the solution you’re looking for.
This amazing procedure, which involves fat grafting, can give your butt a more youthful, full appearance. The team at Lansdowne Aesthetic Center can show you how easy it is to reshape your body and give it the sexy curves you want.
What exactly is a Brazilian butt lift?
A Brazilian butt lift is an easy way to get a more shapely rear end without having to get implants. It’s performed by transferring fat from another part of your body, such as your abdomen or back, and putting it into your buttocks.
Also known as fat grafting, this procedure removes unwanted fat from your body through liposuction. The fat is purified and implanted into your buttocks, giving your butt the boost you seek.
Many people are very happy with this procedure because it reduces problem areas and fills out your bottom instead. If you’ve ever joked about wishing you could move the extra fat from your “love handles” to your behind, this does exactly that.
Even though this procedure is called a butt lift, it doesn’t function similarly to other body lifts. It doesn’t raise the height of your butt by removing excess skin. Instead, it plumps out a bottom that may be too flat to your liking.
Brazilian butt lift vs. implants
There are several reasons why the Brazilian butt lift is a better option than gluteal (buttock) implants. When an experienced surgeon like Yaqub Baraki, MD, performs the procedure, it offers the following advantages over implants:
- Fat grafting uses fat cells from your own body to plump your buttocks
- Implants carry risks, such as capsular contracture, shifting of the implant, and a higher risk for infection
- A Brazilian butt lift feels more natural
Am I a good candidate for a Brazilian butt lift?
Although this procedure is generally very successful, some people are better candidates than others. You’re more likely to see the results you desire if:
- You have enough fat in other areas that can be harvested for removal
- You have good skin tone in your hips and buttocks
- You can commit to the recovery process, which includes standing or lying only on your side or front for the first three weeks (with exceptions for using the bathroom)
You may not be a good candidate for the procedure if you’re too lean. Patients with a healthy, stable weight and a BMI below 32 achieve the best results.
The Brazillian butt lift is generally a safe outpatient procedure. You may experience some bruising and swelling that can last for a couple of days, but you should be able to return to all of your normal activities, including sitting, within a week.
