Butt Augmentation: Prices, Pics, Reviews

A Brazilian Butt Lift is a fat transfer procedure done to enlarge and reshape the buttocks. Excess fat from other areas such as your abdomen, flanks, back, thighs and arms is liposuctioned out. The fat is then transferred to the buttocks to enlarge, firm and make it more rounded.

This is a nice procedure since you are using your own tissue. The fat is yours so you will not reject it and it will not get hard like butt implants. Plus you get the added benefit of having liposuction to reduce your waistline, back and thighs.

The transformation is permanent, so you will keep most of the buttocks fat while maintaining a hour glass figure. (Stanley Castor, MD, Tampa Plastic Surgeon)

The technique is known as Brazilian butt lift , but the individual results may vary.

A Brazilian Butt Lift consists of doing liposuction to certain areas which you would be evaluated before to see what you are a candidate for, and is performed through the “tumescent technique” which consists of having the Liposuction through small, barley noticeable incision, sterile liquid solution is infused to reduce bleeding and trauma and then a cannula, is inserted through these incisions to loosen excess fat using a controlled back and forth motion to remove the fat, afterwards the fat is inserted both over the muscle as well as under which will help to improve the contour and shape of the area.

Expectations are a very important point when having plastic surgery; it is usually the main cause of dissatisfaction with the outcome of your surgeon. Talk clear and direct, express what you want and ask, everything you need to know. (Luis Suarez, MD, Mexico Plastic Surgeon)

Kim Kardashian’s butt via the Brazilian Butt Lift

Brazilian butt lift in southern California is one of the most trendy procedures after the popularity of Kim Kardiashian and Jennifer Lopez, and their respective buttock shapes! The Brazilian butt lift is the term used to describe a surgical procedure in which fat is harvested from one or more areas of the body and placed in the buttocks – but there is definitely an art to it, like so many other plastic surgery procedures.

If the area above (the so called “flanks”) and the area below and to the sides, for example, the outer thighs are liposuctioned in addition to fat transfer to the buttocks – you can take a nice result and make it a “wow” result.

Brazilian butt lifts are described as such because it is in Brazil that larger buttocks are so popular, and most surgeons would agree that the term describes fat transfer only – so not using implants (which may be needed if a patient is so slim that she or he doesn’t have enough fat to be transferred).

Only go to a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon! I have seen many complications of this procedure including the injection of silicone into the buttocks (not only is it hard and abnormal looking, but it is difficult to fix!) (Ghada Afifi, MD, Orange County Plastic Surgeon)

Kim Kardashian Brazilian Butt Lift

If you want Kim Kardashian’s butt, it depends on where you’re starting out. If you’re already 50 and 190 lb, it’s not likely to happen. Much depends on how much fat you have to “donate” to your butt!

A Brazilian Butt Lift is essentially fat transfer with fat removed from one part of the body, inserted into the backside and contoured to form a pleasing bottom.

There are many more details about the procedure, but that’s essentially what I do to perform a Brazilian Butt Lift.

I recommend that my patients have massage therapy afterwards to help with healing and maintain tissue suppleness. (Paul Vanek, MD, Cleveland Plastic Surgeon)

How can I get a Kim Kardashian butt?

A Brazilian butt lift is procedure which uses one’s own fat by liposuctioning the regions where the fat is prominent and transfering it to the buttock. A significant portion of time during the procedure focuses on “shaping the buttock” with the use of liposuction technique and then after the shape is improved to a more aesthetic appearance, fat is then injected into the region to enlarge the already nicely shaped buttock. Some surgeons also use implants to augment the buttock in cases where the fat is not so prominent on the body, i.e., the patient doesn’t have enough fat on their body to transfer fat from to the buttock so an implant in this case may be necessary. (Joel B. Beck, MD, FACS, Bay Area Plastic Surgeon)

The “Brazilian Butt Lift,” or gluteal lift/augmentation is a procedure designed to improve the shape and appearance of the gluteal region. This surgery uses a combination of liposuction and fat grafting (i.e. fat injections with the patient’s own fat) to produce a fuller, firmer, more youthful-appearing buttocks.
