A Brazilian butt lift is a cosmetic surgery procedure that uses liposuction to harvest fat from your arms, legs or abdomen.
The fat is then injected into your buttocks with a series of injections done six weeks apart to create a shapelier, rounded butt. The surgery for the Brazilian butt lift is generally considered less invasive than that of a Buttocks implant.
The Brazilian butt lift procedure initiates with liposuction.
Liposuction harvests fat used for injections into the buttocks cheeks. Your lower body (lower back, stomach and thighs) may be liposuctioned to make your buttocks become more prominent. This is often marketed as an additional benefit to the Brazilian butt lift; not only do you get a shapely rear end, you may get a total leaner profile that emphasizes your new curves.
The fat suctioned from these areas is processed and purified to make the injection materials that will be used for your butt lift. The fat is injected into different areas of your buttocks at various depths. Correct injection methods are essential to sculpt a uniform, smooth, natural appearance to the buttocks. A poor injection job will produce fat shapeless buttocks.
Potential side effects from a Brazilian butt lift
Complications may include but are not limited to irregular, asymmetric skin, numbness, bruising and swelling from the liposuction. Some patients ooze significant fluid from the incision and require precautions such as rubber sheets over a bed mattress. As with collagen injections, your doctor may overfill to allow for some fat re-absorption back into your body. This overfilling may temporarily make your buttocks look puffy or swollen. Unlike a butt lift that uses implants; fat injections do not have a risk of allergic reaction since they are your own natural substance.

I am getting a Brazilian Butt Lift on Jan 21 in Beverly Hills. I do not live on the west coast but have reserved pretty cheap plane tickets and a reservation at a very nice hotel (which offers a discounted medical rate). I've wanted this procedure for almost 3 years and seriously researched it for the last 6 months. I leave on Wednesday...it's right around the corner and now I am getting nervous which I know is normal but really sucks (I have not been under anethesia since 5 yrs old). No one has died from this procedure and no one has died from my surgeon's office (one of the board certified surgeons from Extreme Makeover - I tried to choose the best). If all goes well, I will post more info on my doctor and the price. Wish me good luck :-)

I had the Brazilian Butt Lift done 5 days ago and posted my experience under "brazilian butt lift" for those of you interested in reading about it. It's too soon to tell with 100% certainty, but so far, I really like the results.
