Brazilian Buttock Lift

Buttock Enhancement by Autologous Fat Grafting

Needless to say that buttocks are one of the sexiest body parts. Nothing seems more attractive to men than women's backsides in tight jeans.

As for women, the majority of them pay attention to men's buttocks first and foremost - they find them much more appealing than anything else that a man can boast of.

Many consider well-formed buttocks to be sexually attractive. However, the definition of "well-formed" is not fixed, as sexual aesthetics of the buttocks vary considerably from culture to culture, from one period of fashion to another and even from person to person.

Buttock Enhancement Standard Procedure Techniques

There are three ways to enhance the buttock region:

• Buttock implants.
• Fat grafting.
• Flaps.

Dr. Moliver refrains from using implants and primarily relies on either fat grafting or flaps. The "Brazilian Butt Lift" is merely fat grafting. The flaps may be used during a buttock lift procedure. The difference between these procedures will be the extent of scaring. If you have poor skin quality and a droopy buttock, then a buttock lift may be needed.

Some patients may desire more fullness over the buttock area and in this particular case, we could transfer the removed fat to the buttock. During fat transfers, the fat is placed deeply in the muscle in several different layers so as to create a smooth augmentation without irregularities.

Sometimes, the doctor performs liposuction in order to further enhance the shape of the buttocks. The use of fat grafting has revolutionized Buttock enhancement. It is simpler to perform, with a usual operative time of 1.5 hours. It has minimal pain and discomfort postoperatively, and requires minimal recuperation.

The fat is injected through two very small incisions and is carefully layered through tunnels throughout the buttocks. In 30% to 35% of the patients a repeat fat grafting is necessary because of significant absorption of fat. However, it is unlikely that further fat grafting beyond the second treatment will be necessary.

An important consideration for buttock fat grafting is the availability of extra fat in different parts of the body. While fat is usually in abundance, there are patients in whom there is no extra fat available.

After performing the same procedure on the other buttock, the doctor makes sure the buttocks are symmetrical and look natural.

Pre-Operative

As with most cosmetic surgery, stopping smoking six weeks before surgery is recommended. It is particularly important to increase the chances of survival of the fat grafts. Certain medications that increase the risk of bleeding such as Aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, and some vitamins/homeopathic regimens should be discontinued prior to the surgery.

All of these procedures are performed under general anesthesia in our AAAASF facility.

• You will have a compression garment on after surgery to provide support, which should not be removed for the next few days following surgery.
• Rest is important to the healing process, so do it as much as possible following your procedure. Drink plenty of fluids, and be sure to take the prescribed medications.
• Most likely, you will be able to resume calm, quiet work within a few days to weeks following Buttock enhancement surgery. You should still avoid physical exertion for several weeks.
