BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT (Fat Transfer to Buttocks)

Brazilian Butt Lift refers to a technique of buttock augmentation using fat transfer from another body area, such as love handles, abdomen, back, or hips. The existing tissue is not actually lifted as the name suggests. The harvested fat is processed and then injected through tiny incisicions into multiple layers under the skin to create a rounder, fuller, more curvaceous bottom. One nice advantage of the fat harvest from nearby regions is that is can accentuate the curvaceous appearance overall if the area next to the buttocks gets even smaller while the buttocks get fuller. The surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure.

STANDARD BUTTOCK LIFT

Standard buttock lift involves an incision along the upper buttocks and actually lifts the skin and subcutaneous tissue to improve the appearance of the buttock shape. It does not make the buttock fuller, but rather it makes the skin of the buttocks look tighter and lifts the droopiness. This is a common procedure after massive weight loss, and also requested by otherwise thin patients who have excess laxity in this area. The incision is designed to be hidden under clothing.
