Brazilian butt lift - how is this different from a regular butt lift?
So how is a Brazilian butt lift different from any other type of butt lift? How many types are there? Is there some sort of regular butt lift that is different or better?
I just want my booty to look rounder and more of the Apple Bottom look... is that Brazilian?

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 Brazilian butt lift is actually a procedure that takes fat harvested during liposuction of other areas and after preparation it gets injected into the gluteal area to volumize the buttocks. The scarring is minimal and the so is the down time. Survival of fat is variable so it is possible to need additional touchups down the road.
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 liposuction and fat grafting.
The first part of the process involves liposuction to the waist, lumbosacral area, thighs, flanks and hips. This fat is then processed and added to the gluteal region a few milliliters at a time.
My patients appreciate their "Brazilan butt lift" because their waist is more narrow, their hips and flanks have been reshaped and they have more prominence in their gluteal region. Many of them call this a "bubble butt," or here in Miami, a "J-Lo butt." They appreciate the way they look in jeans, bikinis, and pants and the way this balances their figure.
