do you think it will be a good idea to do a 2nd brazilian butt lift?

asked 1 year ago by Mariaglitter in Atlanta, GA

Tags: female, reconstructive

I had the procedure done not long ago, but I am not satisfied with the results. My surgeon did not mention about gaining a little more weight to have a more successful surgery. However, I wanted to know if it's a good idea to wait a couple of months then gain a few more pounds to redo the procedure since I don't have any fat right now to transfer what are the advantages or disadvantages of having it done the second time? Could this be more successful? I appreciate your help and advice?

A second Brazilian Butt LIft is an option.....

Having the Brazilian Butt Lift done a second time is an option as long as you have enough fat to be transferred. Gaining weight is an option as long as you gain it in the areas that you are going to have liposuctioned. But, you also need to plan to remain at that new weight in order to maintain the new fullness of your buttocks. When you gain weight, fat cells get larger. When you lose weight, they shrink. So to enlarge them before surgery then shrink them after surgery really isn't... more

Brazilian Butt lift & Weight gain in Atlanta

A second stage fat transfer for Brazilian butt augmentation is very possible. However, before you start gaining weight for the second procedure, please, please check with your Plastic surgeon. First, you may have enough fat depending on the amount needed to achieve your goals. In my practice, I will look everywhere to find fat for transfer. Second, before you gain weight, make sure you can afford this second butt lift. If you gain weight and your finances change, you may be dealing with... more

Repeating a Brazilian Butt Lift

Yes if you are not satisfied with your results I would recommend to do it again. Often you have to add fat to the butt on several occasions because not all of it will survive the transfer.

When to do a revision Brazilian butt lift

The Brazilian butt lift is a safe and effective technique that can improve the contour of your bottom and create a beautiful result. It is a combination of procedures that consists of aggressive liposuction of the abdomen hips and waist and lower back, separation and processing of the fat that has been collected, and strategic grafting to the gluteal area. In our practice, we have performed this surgery in a wide variety of patients. We have also performed the surgery as a revision... more

Repeat Brazilian?

There are many reasons that I do not recommend a repeat brazilian buttock enhancement. One is the paucity of fat once it has been harvested. This operation needs fat and its absence means disappointment. Second, the recipient area of the buttocks has no doubt become scarred from the first operation. This causes not such a suitable environment for the fat cells to live in, and again can mean disappointment. My recommendation is to either be satisfied with what you have or research... more

Brazilian Butt

You can have a repeat procedure done, but it is best to wait for atleast 6 months. During this period if you gain weight you will no the response on your buttock. Gaining more fat to transfer is not a good idea in my view because the result will be more predictable if the weight is stabilized.

You must have extra fat for Brazilian Butt Lift.

Basically with Brazilian butt lift, there MUST be fat to inject. A person with little to no extra fat is not a good candidate and therefore the surgery is impossible. Talk with your PS and see if he/she aggrees to give you a second surgery before you try gaining any weight, as weight loss and weight gain seriously affects your results. see video

A Second Brazilian Butt Lift Requires An Adequate Fat Donor Site

Many Brazilian Butt Lifts require a second stage fat transfer to get an optimal result. The issue with doing it again is whether you will have enough fat to do so. I would not count on weight gain to generate enough fat to be taken again from the last donor site. Secondary harvesting from the same donor site is usually far less rewarding than the first time due to scar. Enough fat can probably be obtained if you have another adequate donor site that has not yet been harvested. It does... more

Brazilian Butt enhancement

The amount of fat harvested for Brazilian Butt Lift is dependant on the amount of fat that you have and can be liposuctioned, then cleaned, and the pure fat is injected into the buttocks. You can have the Brazilian Butt lift done again, but I do wait atleast 6 months before redo, so that all healing inflamation from healing has subsided. This will have a better chance for the fat to stay. The only other way to enhance the buttocks id by implants or Dermis Fat Graft.... more

Fat transfers and weight gain

You are asking again about your butt lift result. Please understand that transferred fat remembers where it came from genetically and behaves from a weight gain and loss standpoint as it would have before the fat transfer. Therefore it is not the case that you can just fatten up prior to a fat transfer, have it done, and then go back to your normal weight after surgery and not lose all the fat volume. You sound like a slender athletic person and it is unfortunate that... more

A 2nd Brazilian Butt Lift?

A significant amount of fat is required to achieve the best results from the Brazilian butt lift procedure. On average, only 10%-20% of the injected fat is permanent. This is true every time the fat transfer treatment is done. So you may benefit from having the second fat transfer done since a percentage will remain permanent. However, if you only have minimal fat available to harvest, the results may be similar to what you are seeing now.
