Butt Augmentation: Prices, Pics, Reviews

A Brazilian Butt Lift is a fat transfer to add volume, shape and projection to the buttocks. The desired shape depends on your anatomy. The fat can be injected laterally to give more width to the buttocks and/ or injected into the cheek to give a more rounded “pop” to the buttocks.

Butt injections are not approved for buttock augmentation in the US by the FDA. Butt injections are not done in the US by plastic surgeons because it is illegal. These types of injections commonly cause severe problems with infection, scarring, deformity, kidney and liver failure and even death. (Stanley Castor, MD, Tampa Plastic Surgeon)

When a patient comes to me looking for lift, shape and volume, I always recommend the Brazilian butt lift. It is a tremendous procedure. With the BBL, we are transferring fat from areas of the body where it lays in excess, normally abdomen, to areas on the butt to achieve the contour that the patient desires.

Results vary based on the skill of the surgeon performing the procedure, the quantity of fat being transferred, and fat retention percentage. For the results you desire, I think the Brazilian butt lift is an option you should explore. (Constantino G. Mendieta, MD, Miami Plastic Surgeon)

Fat injections are on the spectrum of a Brazilian Butt Lift but a Brazilian Butt Lift is 3-dimentional, using fat in both the muscle AND subcutaneous tissue. The fat is harvested from an area of the body and injected. The degree of enhancement depends on your height and weight, smoking history (hopefully none) and your goals. Fat injections are often used in a patient who has a hollow spot after liposuction. A common technique is to harvest fat from somewhere else and inject it into that small divot.

Minimal fat injections are common procedures for the lips, face and back of the hands, but when it comes to buttock enhancements, you need more significant 3-dimensional enhancement/improvement which is accomplished by larger volumes of donor fat transferred into the buttocks.  (Paul Vanek, MD, Cleveland Plastic Surgeon)

Brazilian Buttock Lift and Shaping With Fat Transfer

The term Brazilian Butt Lift refers to injecting fat into the buttock. There are many things that contribute to the success of shaping the butt to look aesthetic and the way you desire. Th absolute most important factor is the surgeon.

It doesn’t matter how much fat you have or don’t have but if your surgeon does not use your fat cells the right way to artistically shape your buttock then he/she is simply just injecting fat without shaping.

Each patient will have their limitations as to how much fat they have, how much loose skin they have, and what their bony anatomy is. All these play a role in your future shape. Lastly, the techniques of fat transfer are advanced and your surgeon needs to know how to treat the fat and what to do to ensure the maximum percent survival.

I feel fortunate as a brazilian buttock lift (buttock fat transfer) specialist, to be invited around the world and country to lecture on this topic and teach my techniques and philosophy to other surgeons who are eager to learn this technique I am so passionate about for so long. Good luck and do your homework and make sure you select a board certified plastic surgeon who is ethical in hi photographs and shows you multiple views of many many body types, and has many patients where the underwear is not tricking your eyes!

Brazilian Buttock Augmentation Vs. Butt Injection

A Brazilian Butt Lift incorporates not only shaping the butt, but also providing volume. About 80% of the procedure is obtaining the fat to transfer AND shaping the butt to a more aesthetic shape. The way this is performed is through removing fat around the butt that is detracting from its appearance.

Then finally, re-injecting the fat into the buttock in a predetermined way by marking the patient preoperatively and injecting the fat into the correct locations to volumize and shape the buttock. (Joel B. Beck, MD, FACS, Bay Area Plastic Surgeon)

Hands Down the Brazilian Buttlift

Will the Brazilian Butt lift add sufficient volume and shape to the bottom? Yes. And Yes. Which one will give lift, shape, and sufficient volume to the buttocks? The Brazilian buttlift. Buttock augmentation with your own fat can give the butt the lift you need.

The shape and even dimpling can be improved. As far as volume goes, I transfer 1200 to 1500 cc per buttock. The winner for buttock lifting and augmentation is the Brazilian buttlift. (Kenneth B. Hughes, MD, Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon)
