Buttock reshaping : the different procedures

Buttock augmentation with fat transfer ,also know as the Brazil Butt lift in honor of the country in which it was developped,involves two steps.

First,the patient’s own fat is collected through liposuction .The most popular areas for liposuction, before buttock augmentation ,are the lower back, waist,flanks (love handles) , thighs and stomach.
This ,not only ,provides the raw material for buttock enhancement,it also contours the areas around the butt for a more dramatic result.

The liposuctioned fat is then centrifuged , so that the best fat is ready to be reintroduced to the body.

In a second step, the donor fat is added to the buttocks with a large number of tiny injections at different depths to ensure an even ,attractive augmentation.This method of fat injection lends a Shapley contour to the buttocks that last a long time.Special attention is given to the upper buttocks, so that the entire rear looks youthfully and naturally lifted.

Implants vs. Fat transfer

The prefered method for performing butock augmentation is fat transfer,the use of the patient’s own body fat to reshape the butt.

Fat injection achieves a very natural result,has a lower risk of infection, and also contours the areas around the buttocks to enhance the overall effect.However, implants may be recommended for patients who have very little body fat to harvest, such as body builders and naturally thin patients.

Buttock augmentation with silicon implants

Buttock implants come in a variety of shapes and sizes to best fit each patient’s body type and desired goal.They are made of silicone , which provides a firm,smooth and natural feel.They are placed away from important nerves as well as the bony area, on which you sit.

The upper and outer regions of the butt become rounder and firmer , once the implants are in place.The procedure takes about one and a half hour, and is performed under general anesthesia.
