They are very different

A regular butt lift will take sagging buttocks tissue and lift it up by cutting out and tightening loose skin. It typically will not add volume to your bottom end unless an autoaugmentation procedure is used at the same time. An autoaugmentation procedure uses the deep tissues over the gluteus muscles and fold them up to bulk up the newly lifted tissues. The scarring and downtime can be significant. It is a good procedure for patients with loose skin (eg. massive weight loss, etc.) A... more

Brazilian butt lift... blame it on Rio!

There are several ways to improve the appearance of the butt and gluteal regions. In the past, surgeons have used butt implants, which are solid firm silicone pieces. These implants carried the risk of extrusion (coming out of the incision), infection, and displacement. Also, depending on how they were inserted, they could affect the muscles of the butt, as well. In my practice, a butt augmentation is performed with a "Brazilian butt lift." I perform this as a combination of... more

Brazilian butt lift

Buttock augmentation in the form of fat injection or the Brazilian butt lift is a fat surgery. Fat is the storage compartment. When you take in calories that you do not burn that very second they are stored as fat. What you do with the Brazilian butt lift is to liposuction fat away from places we do not want fat and move it to the buttocks, to lift shape and shade the buttocks. What you are physically doing is liposuction in the abdomen, back and flank, collecting this fat, removing the... more

Different techniques, different goals

A Brazilian Butt Lift involves removing unwanted fat by liposuction and injection of this fat into the buttocks. This is best for women who have good skin tone, but lack the buttocks volume, shape, and fullness they desire. Based on your... more

Regular buttock lift is a vague term that can refer to large incisions that may be required to lift the buttock skin. This is best for patients that have lost massive amounts of weight who need lifting of the loose skin and soft tissue of the buttocks. Only tiny liposuction type incisins are require dto move the bodies own fat cells from where they are not needed... more

Butt lifts

The brazilian butt lift is actually somewhat of a misnomer. During this procedure, the buttocks are re-shaped and augmented with the use of fat. The butt is actually not "lifted." The fat is re-distributed and this gives the butt the appearance of having been lifted. This can also be accomplished with implants. In a traditional butt lift, the excess or flaccid lower back skin and fat are removed. And once the wound is closed, the buttocks are lifted to a higher position. This procedure... more

Brazilian butt lift results

There are two major ways of lifting the buttocks. One is the procedure known as the Brazilian butt lift and the other is the traditional excisional butt lift. So, what is the difference? The Brazilian butt lift is recommend to those patients that have from mild to moderate butt sagginess and relative good skin tone. During this procedure, fat is harvested from your abdomen, flanks, axilla, upper and lower back and injected into the buttocks. The increase in volume will not only augment your... more

Butt lift information

As others have answered, Brazilian butt lift is called that because in Brazil, it looks like all of the women have had their buttock lifted! The procedure involves exactly what you're stating, an apple bottom look (if that's what you're looking for). Typically, one is limited by your shape, muscle and frame. It depends on how high your pelvis goes up relative to your gluteus and what general shape it's in. These details will be clarified during your... more

Brazilian Butt Lift: What is it and what are the options

A Brazilian Butt lift involves harvesting fat from around the buttock through liposuction and then injecting prepared fat into the deeper tissue in the buttock to help improve shape and projection of the buttock. This is a relatively non-invasive approach to buttock contouring that takes approximately 3 hours and is an outpatient operation. The options for buttock contouring include a standard buttock lift which can involve the creation of fatty flaps which help maintain buttock shape... more

How is a Brazilian Butt lift different from a traditional Butt lift or enlargement

There has been much talk about the Brazilain Butt lift. It is different from a traditional butt lift in which skin is removed from the lower back and the sagging buttock skin is lifted. It is different from Buttock Augmentation which is typically performed with implants that are most commonly fabricated of silicone This most commonly is referred to as buttock lipoinjection. In my opinion, it is best to perform this procedure under general anesthesia due to the extensive nature of the... more

Brazilian Buttlift: Does It Work?

The Brazilian buttlift involves liposuctioning areas of excess usually the abdomen, sides or waist, and back and transferring this fat to the buttocks. This produces a shapelier more projected buttock and lifts the buttock as well. The conventional buttlift usually refers to the incisions made above the buttocks from which extra skin is removed. The Brazilian buttlift produces more natural results without the large scar burden. Kenneth... more

Brazilian Butt Lift vs Excisional Butt Lift

The Brazilian Butt Lift is performed in two stages. First, liposuction is performed from various areas of the body. The fat from the liposuction is harvested in a special canister that removes the fluid from the aspirate leaving the pure fat. Secondly, the fat is then injected into the upper buttock area to build up the projection of the buttock. This method is used for moderately loose skin. If the skin is very loose then an excision buttock lift would be... more

Brazilian Butt Lift - it works!

The preferred method for performing buttock augmentation is fat transfer, the use of the patient's own body fat to reshape the butt. Fat injection achieves a more natural result, has a lower risk of infection, and also contours the areas around the buttocks to enhance the overall effect. However, implants may be recommended for patients who have very little body fat to harvest, such as body-builders and naturally thin patients. An additional benefit of the Brazilian butt lift... more

Brazilian Butt Life Results

The Brazilian Butt Lift is a fat transfer procedure that is a wonderful option to achieve a more rounded and curvy shaped buttocks. It is a minimally invasive surgery for quick, natural results. A fat transfer to the buttocks can be performed by itself or during other body contouring procedures. In either case, a plastic surgeon will use your own fat tissue taken from other places in your body, often the abdomen or other troublesome places that could use some reducing. The fat is... more

Butt Lift options

A brazilian butt lift uses liposuction to harvest fat from other areas of your body and injects them using a special technique back into the gluteal area. This uses your own tissue which is much better than butt implants which tend to shift and are much harder. Another form of a butt lift places a scar at the top of the butt and removes the excess or sagging skin. Both are good options but achieve different results and address different problems. It sounds like you... more

Brazilian butt does not work

Butt augmentation with fat injection defies logic. Injecting 700 - 1000 cc of fat in the butt is unlikely to survive. Most of that fat disappears. It might take a year for it to disappear and the small amount that remains, does not justify the cost and the possible complications. Most importantly, the patient are disappointed with the very small increase in butt size. Butt implants in the sub-fascial location give a significant increase in butt size and complication rate is very small. With... more

A very rewarding procedure

Brazilian butt lift definitely works for suitable patients. It is not just about augmenting the buttocks, it is rather about shaping them, making them firmer and sculpting problem zones "around" them (especially the love handles and unsightly deposits just in the folds). The Brazilian butt lift procedure is just about to become alive in Europe, in Spain it has been popular for quite some time, but it has been virtually unknown in the UK until very recently. For my... more

Brazilian Butt Lift Works

There are several different ways to change the shape and size of the gluteal region: 1. Brazilian Butt Lift (performed with liposuction and fat transfer to the buttocks) 2. Gluteal Augmentation With Implants (placed under the muscle or fibrous covering of the gluteal muscle) 3. Lower Body Lift (performed through long incisions placed around the back and sometimes waist) With advances in the Brazilian Butt Lift technique, most plastic surgeons are steering... more

Brazilian buttock lift - does it work?

My answer - absolutely yes. A brazilian buttock augmentation involves harvest fat from areas of your body where there is excess fat and injecting that fat carefully into the central zone of your buttock. In addition, it involves liposculpting the buttock to facilitate a more rounded look.

Brazillian butt lift

Absolutely! The results can be very natural, if done correctly. Fat is harvested (removed) from the abdomen, flanks, back, thighs, and arms. Those areas are lipo suctioned for the fat. The fat is then transferred to the buttocks. The key is have large volume, if there is enough fat, so that the right shape is achieved.

Brazilian Butt Lift

The Brazilian butt lift is a type of body contouring procedure which results in a youthful, prominent, perky buttocks and a more sensual body profile. People of all ages can have the butt lift procedure provided there is a requisite amount of fat. A surgeon removes fat from selected areas of your body, purifies the fat, and then reinjects selected donor fat cells into your buttocks. The procedure is designed to fill the upper quadrant of your buttocks so that the butt appears lifted... more

Brazilian Butt Lift

A “regular” butt lift does not add projection to the buttock area like a Brazilian butt lift does. It only lifts the buttock area and tightens the skin. This results in flattening of the butt. It also involves long incisions above the butt for the lift. A Brazilian butt lift involves liposuctioning areas of the body and injecting that fat into your buttock. The Brazilian butt lift results in a lifted and fuller buttock without incisions.

Brazilian Butt Lift without Scars

In the right patient, a brazilian butt lift can be performed with small access incisions which are less than 1 cm. The purpose of the lift is to increase the fullness and roundness of the buttocks. It is typically performed by removing the fat through liposuction above, below, and around the buttocks. When removing the fat, it is carefully removed to prevent damage to the fat cell by employing hand guided liposuction and the fat is refined and then injected in multiple ares over the... more

Brazilian Butt Enhancement

You have to differentiate between a lift, which means there is sagging of tissue and then need a lift, which entails removal of excess skin, by cutting the excess. Buttock enhancement means you want more volume and roundness and shape to the buttock. This is Brazilian Butt Lift.

Brazilian Butt Lift is a fat transfer and not a true lift

The brazilian lift is a fat grafting and not a true lift. It works very well to add volume to the buttocks.In my mind it is becoming the standard of care for this specific goal. The other lifts include the lower body lift which is a true open (excisional) lift that include skin removal. Hope that helps!

Difference between Brazilian Buttock Lift and Buttock Lift

The Buttock Lift procedure involves removing excess skin in the buttock region and tightening the skin in the upper part of the buttocks. This results in a lifting of the buttocks. It effectively cuts away tissue at the lower back and buttock junction, and elevates the buttock tissues for reshaping of the entire butt. This is a good procedure if you aren't really looking for augmentation, and instead just want to remove a sagging appearance. It can also be used in tandem with liposuction... more

Brazilian Butt Lift and Butt Implants

If you want your buttocks to look rounder, there are basically 2 options: Buttock Implants or Brazilian Butt Lift. Both of these procedures can make your buttocks larger and sometimes rounder. The big difference is feel and safety. Buttock implants have a very unnatural feel, frequently an unnatural appearance and many potential complications with a high rate of need for additional surgery. Brazilian Butt Lifts, however, are 100% natural feeling as well as looking, and rarely ever need... more

Benefits of a brazilian butt lift

Thanks for the question - A brazilian butt lift uses fat transferred from other parts of your body. Traditional butt lifts rely on incisions to remove excess skin to improve the shape whereas this technique counts on increasing volume to improve the shape. In my San Francisco area practice we are finding many patients can benefit greatly from a Brazilian and avoid the scars and other problems of the older types of butt lift. I hope this helps.
