Is It Possible to Have a Brazillian Butt Lift Done with Artificial Tissue?

I'm considering having a dental procedure done that may involve the use of Alloderm and was wondering if that (or any other brand of artificial material) could be used instead of harvesting fat from lipo for the Brazilian butt lift?

A Brazilian butt lift is a safe and effective procedure that combines liposuction of the abdomen hips waist and back and then fat grafting to the gluteal region. This is a safe and effective way to contour the lower body. Unfortunately, a Brazilian Butt lift cannot be safely done with artificial tissue.

The Brazilian Butt Lift (with your fat) is the ONLY safe alternative to implants

Hi there- I know that for some patients, who may not be good candidates for Brazilian Butt Lifting, it is very tempting to search for alternatives and pursue something "on the fringe"... Be very careful, and realize that you may be putting your long term safety and long term satisfaction with your body on the line.

No, the Brazilian Butt Lift includes liposuction of your waistline and grafting of the fat removed to your buttocks

Another thing to understand about the Brazilian Butt Lift is that in addition to making your buttocks bigger, it makes your waistline smaller! It is the change of this proportion that makes the results so dramatic. There is no debating the fact that it is the safest technique for enhancing your buttocks or the fact that it is the only legal way to do this. That is why it has become so popular.

Butt Lift considerations

I agree with Dr. Placik, the complication rate for buttock implants with synthetic material is significantly high. This is why most of the international experts recommend using your own tissue for buttock sculpting before considering implants. Fat injections and dermal fat flaps are safer and much more reliable with current techniques.

Anything is possible but...

Recently some non physicians were found going to a hardware store, buying silicone caulking and injecting it into womens' butts --- the women had nothing but problems and if they find the people who did this, they should go to jail. Do you want to be one of these victims?
