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: The Brazilian Butt Lift: How is it done?

The Brazilian Butt-Lift is an effective and aesthetic form of butt augmentation surgery which results in a youthful, prominent, perky buttocks and a more sensual body profile. People of all ages are having the butt lift procedure. The buttock is first contoured by performing precise liposculpture in the areas around the buttocks to make them stand out. Common areas liposuctioned include the back- directly above the butt, the stomach, and the thighs. Oftentimes, the liposuction alone will improve your profile and maximize the contour and figure. The fat suctioned from these areas is then carefully processed and purified such that only a fraction of the donor fat removed will qualify for re-injection to the buttocks. The fat is placed or transferred to the buttocks with special cannulas. This procedure typically involves 'hundreds' of micro fat injections and with proper fat harvesting, processing, and injection, the result should be long lasting. The Result of the Brazilian Butt-Lift is a more sensuous, youthful, perky buttock and profile which puts the entire body’s figure into aesthetic balance.

Do I Have Enough Fat to Acheive a Significant Increase in my Butt Size? (photo)

Hi all, I'm 5'3", 110lbs and interested in a Brazilian Butt Lift but I don't know if I have enough fat to get the projection I want (see pic). I'm willing to gain weight, so my question is: How many pounds would you suggest? I'd like a tinier waist, rounded hips (like Kim Kardashian)and no more pesky side dents (by the way, do these side dents have a name?). Thank you!

A: Brazilian Butt Lift: am i a candidate?

The Brazilian Butt Lift is a fantastic surgical procedure to maximize and create a perky, sensual and youthful buttock.  When performed by a board certified plastic surgeon, a patient can achieve extremely aesthetic results.  There are two major components to the procedure:

1. Liposculpture of the regions around the buttock will allow your plastic surgeon to harvest fat, but more importantly to accentuate and highlight the buttock. 

2. When taking fat from those areas, as well as the abdomen, and purifying the fat, serial micro-fatgraft injections to the buttock will increase volume and lift.  The key to successful fat survival is in the technique of preparing and injecting the fat. 

A detailed consultation with your plastic surgeon will help you to create the perfect surgical plan for a sensual perky butt.

Seriously Considering the Brazilian Butt Augmentation, What is the Price Range for this Procedure?

I'm 21 years old. I weight 124lbs and I'm seriously considering getting the Brazilian butt augmentation. I'm a 34D and my waist measures about 33 and my hips 36 I feel like my body has no shape. Every time I gain weight I only gain it in my stomach and no where else my legs are skinny n I dont feel like I have much of a butt, so I feel like this surgery would be perfect for me. I wanted to know about how much is it? And if it's financed how much would you have to put down and how is financing?

A: Brazilian buttlift: Cost and financing

The Brazilian Butt Lift is a safe and effective procedure to create sensual and perky contours to the buttock and body.  Every woman has a different amount of fat in the areas surrounding the buttock as well as the abdomen.  Typically the cost of this procedure will vary based on the amount of fat to be liposculpted and the amount of fat to be transferred.  These can range from $7,000 to $15,000 on average.  A detailed consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon can help you create the perfect surgical plan, with financing options, to help you achieve your goal of a sensual, sexy, and perky buttock and body.
