Do Butt Lifts Look Real?
I would strongly encourage you to speak to a board-certified plastic surgeon who performs autologous fat transfer buttock lifts (the Brazilian Butt Lift). In my practice, we have had wonderful results with this surgery.
The benefit of using your own fat is you avoid the risks of implants (inferior feel, implant shifting, infection, scar tissue). In addition you get liposuction of other typically problematic areas. The technique does require some skill so be sure and speak with someone who has experience with the technique.
Clinical Context
Fat grafting safety depends more on injection technique than on how much fat is transferred. Fat placed too deep, into or below the muscle, increases the risk of fat entering the bloodstream, which is why surgeons keep grafting within the layer just under the skin. Afterward, avoiding pressure on the buttocks for several weeks helps more of the grafted fat survive; some patients need a second procedure to reach their desired shape. Smoking and major weight changes later can also affect how results hold up.
