Can the Scars from the Lipo for the Brazilian Buttlift Be Minimized?
We perform this operation frequently. The principal benefit from a Brazilian is the significant contour change with small amount of scar. We hide the lipo scars (typically less than a centimeter long) in the belly button for the abdomen and at the lateral flanks for the flank liposuction area. We usually require 3 small scars to get the fat back in - one of them is hidden in the vertical gluteal cleft. I encourage you to look at our before and after photos here on RealSelf or on our website to see for yourself. Thanks!
Clinical Context
Surgeons place liposuction incisions in natural creases, folds, or areas covered by underwear so scars blend into the body's own lines rather than sitting on flat, visible skin. Using thinner cannulas and fewer entry points can also mean shorter, less noticeable scars. How a scar ultimately looks still depends on your skin type, pigmentation, and personal healing pattern, so results can vary somewhat even with the same surgical technique.
