Barry H. Dolich, MD

Even in Brazil, the definition of the procedure varies widely. In my O.R. I suction the abdomen,flanks and low back to establish the "hour glass'  and then prepare the suctioned  fat  which is reinjected into the butt as an auto graft. It is not really a lift, but rather an augmentation.

A Brazilian Butt Lift is a method whereby fat is removed from one area and moved to the buttocks.  We use it to augment or reshape one's behind. A typical Brazilian Butt Lift involves harvesting fat from thighs (and other areas if not enough fat is available) and reinjecting to elevate one's backside to new elevations. The technique is quite labor intensive and requires significant experience to achieve the desired results.  I find that adding fat near the midline and top of the buttocks helps the most.  Since much of the fat does not remain, we try to overcorrect at the time of the procedure. 100mL to 600mL is usually added to each side of the buttocks.  This can make a HUGE difference to the recipient and give them the confidence they are looking for. Kim Kardashian may or may not have had a Brazilian Butt Lift, but those wanting her look can certainly come closer to their desired fullness with this technique.
