Kardashian-like Buttock with a Brazilian Butt Lift

Brazilian Buttock Lift is a general catch phrase for buttock enhancement using fat transfer technique. It is the most natural way to shae and enlarge the buttocks. There is no foreign object such as an implant in your buttocks because your own fat cells are carefuly injected in multiple layers throughout the buttocks. In order to acquire the dramatic curves of Kim Kardashian, you have to have the proper underlying bone anatomy. Your hip bones should be flared out a bit so that an... more

Brazilian buttock lift

A Brazilina butt lift involves redistributing fat from one place on your body to another location (buttock). This involves liposuction of one or more areas, usually abdomen, back and thighs, then transferring the fat to the buttock area to create a fuller, larger appearing buttocks. This procedure is more than just making your butt bigger, it's more about reshaping the entire gluteal/lower back/hip area to create a nicer overall shape. To be a good candidate for this procedure, you must... more

Brazilian Buttock Lift for a Kardashian look

Celebrities, such as Kim Kardashian and Jeniffer Lopez, have set a new standard for buttock aesthetics. Patient inquiries for buttock augmentation and lifts have sky-rocketed in my office attesting to the popularity of these procedures. The Brazilian Buttock Lift utilizes your own fat to augment and lift. The amount of fat transferred depends on your goals, available fat, and size of your buttocks, and in my practice ranges from 250 to 1250 cc per side. The entire region can be reshaped... more

How do I make my butt look like Kim Kardashian's?

Hi there- I wish I could tell you how often I get asked to reproduce the volume and shape of Kim's behind (or J-Lo's, or Shakira's, or the current favorite- Vida Guerra). There is absolutely no question in my mind that the best first option for the vast majority of women is a Brazilian Butt Lift. In this very cool procedure, we remove fat from areas where it is in excess and unwanted (like your abdomen, waist, hips, arms, and thighs), and graft it into the buttock area. When performed by an... more

Brazilian Butt Lift

Thanks for the question. I will try to respond to the the questions below as well. A brazilian butt lift uses liposuction from areas you don't want fat and lipotransfer to permanently augment the areas where you do want additional shape (in this case the buttocks). Ideal candidates are patients who are close to their ideal body weight, have specific concerns about extra tissue on the tummy or thighs, and desire an improved contour for their buttocks. The procedure is time intensive and... more

How Brazilian Butt Lift is done is just as important

There are good answers here as to what it is so I won't repeat them. What you have to be aware of is that how it's done has a tremendous impact on the success or failure of the technique. The key elements are: 1. Extraction of cells under low pressure so as to avoid damage to the cells. 2. Careful processing of fat cells to eliminate anything other than healthy fat cells. Centrifugation for 3-5 minutes followed by decanting and taking off the oil layer is the gold standard. 3. Microinjection... more

Brazilian butt lift

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.

Brazilian Butt Lift - Recycling is a good thing!

Brazilian butt lift

The answer lies in genetics, eating habits and exercise habit!  Fat transfer can come close, but photos would help in determining whether you would be a good candidate.  Typically, large amounts of fat is required (more than 500-600cc per side).

Kim Kardashian's butt

You cannot get Kim's butt.  Your butt can be sculpted and fat grafted to give a fuller and more aesthetic look.  I recommend talking to a board certified plastic surgeon about alternatives for you to get a better butt for your body and then go ahead and admire Kim's butt if you wish.  It's better to look in the mirror and assess your own beauty rather than envy the unattainable. All the best, Tal Raine MD

Dual benefit from Brazilian Butt Lift

The great thing about a Brazilian Butt Lift is that you take fat from unwanted areas in the body and then place them in the buttocks to give the desired enhancement. The technique involves harvesting fat from the abdomen, flanks or thighs using liposuction techniques, purifying the fat and then injecting it into the buttocks as a live graft. This gives a very natural enhancement without the added worry of implants or large scars.

It requires a full evaluation of your body do a computer imaging to evaluate your body and areas that need to be... more
