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.

If you're considering hydrogel buttocks injection, or any other injection, please get properly informed. Read this story to see an illustration of how dangerous it is to get these injections. We are removing all comments in this thread where individuals offer hydrogel or promote buttocks injections.

I really want to get the brazilian butt lift. I already have a plump butt, but I would love it to be bigger and more shapely. Almost what some people refer to as an "apple bottom." I live in Viera, FL and want to know of some board certified surgeons that will do this in the Viera, Palm Bay, or Melbourne area of Florida as well as prices. Please get back to me. Thanks :-)
