Brazilian Butt Lift
Brazilian Buttock Augmentation ~ Does It Work?
A brazilian butt lift uses fat transferred from other parts of your body. Traditional butt lifts rely on incisions to remove excess skin to improve the shape whereas this technique counts on increasing volume to improve the shape. We are finding many patients can benefit greatly from a Brazilian and avoid the scars and other problems of the older types of butt lift.
Clinical Context
Safety with fat transfer to the buttocks depends largely on where the fat is placed. Surgeons aim to inject fat above the gluteal muscle, avoiding the large veins deeper in that area, since fat entering those vessels can cause a serious, potentially fatal complication. Placing too much fat in one spot can also reduce blood supply to the graft, causing more of it to be reabsorbed over time. Choosing a surgeon experienced in fat grafting technique matters more than how much fat is removed by liposuction.
