Brazilian Butt Lift: Q&A

Brazilian Butt Lift Vs Butt Implants

I have been asking around what is the preferred procedure for many surgeons. Some tell me that fat transfer is preffered, with less complications. Other surgeons tell me that the brazilian butt lift is not a consistently proven way to achieve the best results, because you have to keep getting the procedure done every so often and therefore implants are preferred. I am 5'3 and 118 lbs, so i dont believe I have enough fat to transfer to my butt anyways. I am just wondering which procedure is best.

If no Fat is Available, Implants are best for Butt Enhancement

If I had a patient for whom either would be an option, I would almost always recommend the BBL, as the result is more natural in both appearance and feel, and is permanent. I do not agree that the procedure needs to be repeated (provided it is done well and by an experienced BBL surgeon).

Buttock Implants vs Fat Transfer

Both are very good options so what it comes down to, like any surgery, is proper patient selection. Indeed because at least 50+ % of the fat transferred will melt away within a year, most patients are not good candidates because they lack an adequate amount of fat to harvest. Thus buttock implants become a very good, safe, and long term reliable option for most patients seeking buttock augmentation (at least in my practice). The implant should always be placed under or... more

Buttock augmentation: fat transfer vs implants

Fat transfer to the buttocks (Brazilian buttock lift) gives an excellent result if properly done. The results are permanent, although there may be some shrinkage over the first few months immediately after surgery. Fat transfer allows for reshaping of the entire lower back, waist, hip and buttock area-which has more of an impact than just implants. However thin patients who do not have enough donor fat, may not be good candidates and in some cases, may need to gain some weight prior to... more
