Brazilian butt lift definition
A brazilian butt lift is a technique where the buttocks are reshaped and augmented with the use of your own fat. Fat is the ideal filler because it is your own tissue and the fat that survives is permanent. Complications are rare in the hands of an experienced surgeon.
The fat is obtained through liposuction of other areas such as the abdomen, flanks (“love-handles”), and back. The body is re-shaped by narrowing the waist and enhancing the buttocks and hips. An “hour-glass” appearance can be reached if done properly.
The fat that is transferred survives in its new location by having small blood vessels grow into the fat cells. Not all of the fat survives. Good fat survival rates range between 50% and 70%. Fat survival depends on many factors including the surgeon’s technique and the post-surgery care (e.g. avoiding sitting).
This procedure has become extremely popular and patient satisfaction is high. Please call a board-certified plastic surgeon for a consultation. (Moises Salama, MD, Miami Plastic Surgeon)
The answer lies in genetics, eating habits and exercise habit! Fat transfer can come close, but photos would help in determining whether you would be a good candidate. Typically, large amounts of fat is required (more than 500-600cc per side). (Shahin Javaheri, MD, San Francisco Plastic Surgeon)
About Brazilian Butt Lift
The Brazilian Butt Lift is a great procedure for women who want to improve their hip to waist ratio with enlargement of their buttocks and a reduction of their waistline. This gives more of an hourglass shape to your figure.
Prior to the Brazilian Buttocks Lift, the only option for women who wanted their buttocks made larger was buttocks implants. Although the results were usually good, many women complain of their buttocks feeling hard or having an unnatural feel or appearance.
The Brazilian Buttocks Lift, on the other hand is all your own tissue, and feels and looks very natural. And since the procedure requires liposuction of the abdomen and waistline to obtain the fat to be transferred to your buttocks, there is the added benefit of a slimmer waistline and a flatter stomach at the same time, thus creating an even more dramatic effect. But be careful! This procedure has to be done correctly for a good and long lasting result. So, shop around. Be sure your surgeon is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon has a lot of good long term results to show you. About Kim Kardashian. I couldn’t tell you if she has had the procedure or not. Some people are naturally blessed with a great figure. (Daniel P. Markmann, MD, Baltimore Plastic Surgeon)
BBL success depends on fat
In Europe, Brazilian butt lift does rapidly grow in popularity, and like in may cosmetic surgery trends, celebrities are promoting this, Pippa Middleton may be the most popular representative in Europe (although I doubt she really had the procedure). in the U.S. Brazilian butt lift has risen more than 500% in the years between 2004-2006, and Europe is seeing a similar boom now.
Whatever inspires patients to ask for this surgery, you need to understand that fat transfer is an essential part of the procedure, so if the amount of fat available limits the possibilities of the procedure. (Alexander Aslani, MD, EBOPRAS, Spain Plastic Surgeon)
A Brazilian butt lift is essentially a fat transfer procedure. What does this mean? During this procedure, fat is harvested through liposuction. It is not only a butt enhancement procedure, but also a total body transformation.
Fat is removed from all the stubborn areas like the flanks, abdomen, lower back, and upper back and it is reprocessed and injected into the buttocks to increase its projection and provide a nicer behind. Kim Kardashian does have a very nice behind but very accentuated curves which give her a dramatic hip to waist ratio. There are various factors that we have to take into consideration in order to accomplish a Kim Kardashian butt. Genetics is a blessing in her case, which provided her the hip bone structure for her curvy figures.
This combined with a very prominent butt gives her a very sexy figure. You can tell that genetics is playing a huge factor in her figure if you look at all of her sisters and her mother. They all have a nice behind but not all of them have such a perfect proportion. You could have this kind of result if you had the bony structure that will accommodate that kind of proportion. Now, this procedure can give you and transform your body with a better contour and better proportion making your figure very sexy even if you do not have a platform similar to that of Kardashian.
Your butt will be bigger and your waist smaller. As I tell all my patients, it is all about proportions how the buttock will look on you and your body. Having an extremely large behind might not be the best option for you. (Wilberto Cortes, MD, Houston Plastic Surgeon)
