Brazilian Butt Lift Retouch Advice

Because my doctor and I are not happy with my Brazilian Butt Lift results, he told me he wants to do Liposuction on my abdomen again, then transfer about 400cc to my buttocks again. Is it safe to redo the Brazilian Butt Lift and Liposuction in the same area 6 weeks after initial procedure? Will 400cc make a difference, in your personal opinion?

Brazilian Buttock enhancement

If the swelling and the healing is complete, and the areas are soft, a retouch or redo is very effective when the transfer of fat is done right. I would recommend waiting 12 weeks for complete healing to occur.

Is it possible to touch up my Brazilian Butt Lift?

Hi there- As long as you don't have any residual swelling or tenderness from the original procedure it should be safe to proceed with the touch up procedure you describe.

Hope that helps!

Further fat grafting after a Brazilian butt lift

Six weeks after the initial Brazilian is too early. I would wait at least three months to allow everything to settle down before considering further fat grafting. 400 cc's is enough to make a substantial difference but you should wait for now. Best, Talmage J. Raine MD FACS

Should wait for a retouch of Brazilian Butt Lift

Thank you for your question. It is possible to do a retouch after a Brazilian Butt lift. However six weeks after the initial surgery is a little too soon. After your surgery, you undoubtedly have swelling from the liposuction and also from the fat grafting. It is best to wait for all the swelling to subside.

Reoperation after butt lift

Jema, noone can give you a better assessment of your situation than your operating surgeon, as long as they are qualified to perform this particular procedure and regularly perform this same procedure with successful results. I perform this type of surgery regularly in addition to frequent liposcultpure procedure. Personally, I would not perform a re-operation for the reasons you stated so early in the postoperative period, although this is ultimately up to your surgeon. Also, I... more

Retouch of a Brazilian Butt lift.

If the area is soft and supple and demonstrates no areas of firmness or irregularity, I would not see any contraindications to proceeding with additional lipoinjection, if you are up to it.
