Brazilian Butt Lift followed by Implants......?

I'm sorry to hear about your poor results with the Brazilian Butt Lift. The BBL is a great procedure in the hands of an experienced surgeon who has a good technique to provide live fat cells to transfer to your buttocks as well as one who can provide for you instructions for a good routine to follow after surgery to keep your fat cells alive. In contrast to what some surgeons may tell you about the Brazilian Butt Lift....... in the right hands, fat grafting to the... more

Why would your Brazilian Butt Lift not be effective? That is the REAL Question Here

You can still have a good result, but you need another procedure. Here is why. If only 2300 cc were removed from you, then an optimal operation was likely not performed. If one liposuctions the arms, inner thighs, entire back, abdomen, and flanks extensively to get the most fat possible in your body type, then between 3500 and 5000 cc should be possible. Of course, it is sometimes hard to tell from pictures. You still look like you have viable fat cells that were not relocated... more

Buttock Implants After Unsuccessful Fat Injections

Given that you are over two months after your buttock fat injections, and whatever has been injected is no longer obvious, you are really safe to proceed with buttock implants at any time. Fat injections are placed either just under the skin and/or into the gluteus maximus muscle.

While many now offer Brazilian Butt Lift, not everyone seems to be able to keep the transferred fat alive!

There is just no way you had 800cc of fat injected into your butt and still look so flat. Most likely you had no fat, or no viable fat injected into your butt. Since no fat seems to have survived, your only limiting factor is to wait to be fully healed to minimize implant infection risk at the time of your butt implant procedure. This time I recommend you seek out a board certified plastic surgeon who can show you a complete library of his own before and after pictures... more

Buttock Implants After BBL

Allow me to share with you some information that you may not hear elsewhere. There are only two proven safe and relatively effective methods for Buttock Augmentation: 1) Autologous Fat Transfer (using your own fat, transferring from one area of the body to the other) and 2) Buttock Implants (semi-solid silicone rubber implants that cannot rupture &/or leak). Both are very good options so what it comes down to, like any surgery, is proper patient selection... more
