I have recently had a brazilian butt lift about a month ago. I have yet to see ANY results. My doctor is continuously explaining to me that i will NOT see any results for another 4-5 months or even final results until after a year. I read that you should be able to see IMMEDIATE results after the surgery, especially after my doctor injecting 500cc of fat into both cheeks. What should I believe?

The pros of the surgery is I wanted to feel more confident about myself. The con is that it was extremely painful.

I truly wish that I would have researched more doctors that did this procedure.

Dear Butgal04, A few comments. It looks like you had a tummy tuck at some point as well. Was it done at the same time? As regards the pictures, since your back tatoo is off center you must be turned slightly sideways to the camera. Also it would have been helpful if you had your hands raised to the sides when the pictures were taken to allow us to see the sides without your arms in the picture. From what I can see, your inter cheek V zone was not liposuctioned nor were you hips suctioned. The fat which was added appears not to have been placed in the flatter lateral aspects of the buttock cheeks leaving them flat. In my experiece 500cc of fat for both cheeks is somewhat low. Some patients need that much for one buttck cheek. Another factor you may be aware of was the great low cost you paid. If you research the cost of the procedure in Miami and South Carolina, the fees are MUCH higher than that. The reason is that to do the operation as it needs to be done is time and OR resources consuming. While you can have a Brazillian Butt lift cheaper, start to get anxious when the price becomes really low. Hope this was helpful.

hey doc! thank u, yes I did in fact have a tummy tuck and it was at the same time as the brazilian augmentation. he liposuctioned my lower back and i see that he must've lipo'd my waist area because I truly had a square shape to my body. He did in fact put 500cc in EACH cheek, and not both combinbed. (sorry I should have been more clear.) However doctor, should I have already seen some results? Or in your opinion do you think it was done poorly?

i already did the procedure with him...truthfully i wasnt satisfied at all. his tummy tuck procedure was done well, but his fat transfer in my opinion was done poorly.

Wow, if you had 500ccs you shouldve seen some more fullness at least in the areas he injected immediately after surgery. Where did he inject the fat? Do you think he put it in your hips? I have heard that the butt will "fluff" out at about 3 os down the line but yours looks almost the same as it did "pre". Hmmm, I would ask where exactly did he put the fat and would also request a touch up of some sort!

Few comments. caridad - I would carefully re- consider seeing surgeons whose prices are bargain basement prices. Although you may never great a good product when you spend a lot - you invariably NEVER get a good product when you spend little. Butgal04 - The problem with fat transfers is that a sizeable amount of the fat does NOT survive the harvest,preparation,placement. All of us have different preferences on how to increase fat resiliency and durability but there is no one way to get 100% survival. A month is not significant. Let's see how things look in 3-4 months. It may look better and surprise you. Dr. Peter Aldea

Hi Butgal04...I just wanted to say that I had this procedure done about 4 months ago and had a GREAT result. My doctor did things differently though. He did liposuction in my abdomen, lower back and hips to contour the area so it gave the illusion of a bigger bottom and then he injected fat into my bottom. Immediately after the procedure I noticed my bottom looked huge, but Dr. Soto said that the swelling would go down and some of the fat will be reabsorbed. It has now been some time after this procedure and I see my bottom has lost some of the size but it has stayed nice and round. I think the liposuction he did in my lower back to give me that "S" curve really made it look nice too. If you want I can send you some pictures to your e-mail. I don't have them posted on here but wouldn't mind sharing. I think my doctor has another one of his patients on here too. You can take a look at his work if you want to compare. Hope this helps...

I just had my procedure done on March 31th, but I already see a big improvement to my shape and size. Can you please send me some of your before and after pictures so I can see what to look forward to in 4 months maybe? My doctor said it's between 10 and 20% that reabsorb after 3 to 4 months. Did your doctor tell you the same thing? And did the areas of the buttock and waistline shape improved more within those four months?
