What Are the Step by Step Surgical Procedures for a Brazilian Butt Lift?

I have not found much information on the actual surgical procedure.

A Brazilian buttock lift is also known as a fat transfer to the buttock. The procedure involves removing fat from unwanted areas by way of liposuction and transferring or injecting the fat into the desired areas. Although the procedure does increase the size or volume of the buttock, it also is very powerful at reshaping the entire lower back, waist  and hip area as well. The surgery is typically done under general anesthesia and takes 2-3 hours. Patients need to avoid direct sitting on the buttock area for about two weeks after surgery in order to preserve as much of the transferred fat as possible. A good candidate must be in good health and have sufficient fat in order to have a successful outcome. You can review some videos I have on this topic if you visit my website and look under the Procedures section of Buttock.

Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced with this type of surgery before undergoing this procedure.

Considering Breast Augmentation. Will 400cc Implants Get Me My Desired Look and a D Cup? (photo)

i am considering a breast augmentation, i am 5,6 i weigh 110 pounds and i want to go to a d, i was considering 400cc high profile implants or maybe even more, how many cc will i need to achieve this

Breast implant choice can be a difficult decision because there is no way to standardize bra cup size. The amount of cc's that the implant has does not always translate into an accurate cup size.  There may be limitations of how large you can go based on your skin elasticity and rib cage dimensions.  Your plastic surgeon can give you a very close estimate of what breast implant will be best on your particular frame. I routinely use 3D imaging before surgery which allows the patient to visualize what they will look like with a certain size breast implant in place. If this is unavailable to you, you can try on some different sized implants in a bra at your surgeon's office to get a rough idea of what you may look like. Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for more detailed information.

I'm Getting a Tummy Tuck March 26 Can my Whole Tattoo Be Removed and Should I Lose Weight? (photo)

I'm thirty years old with four kids. I'm schedule to get a mommy makeover March 26 and I'm scared!!! Can my tattoo be completely removed and do I need to lose weight?

The more weight  you lose before surgery the better your results will be. Most of the skin and stretch marks from your pubic area to you belly button will be removed with a tummy tuck. Your surgeon will be able to better answer the question since you have already had a complete examination.
