So Brazilian Butt Lift is a procedure where we do liposuction on areas of your body where you have excess fat, so your belly, your sides, your thighs. Instead of throwing away that fat like we used to do, we're taking those fat cells and concentrating them and then injecting them where you want more volume. Where do people want more volume? They want it in their butt. They want more curves. Some people want it in their breasts, so we can put it in their breasts. Even the Brazilian Butt Lift, and even breast lift you can do. So we take those fat cells and use your own natural tissue to make those enhancements. We're not using an implant, but your own tissue.

So you can't take somebody else's fat. From an academic point of view, if you had an identical twin, theoretically, you could take fat from them, but that's not something that we would do. In a practical point of view, it has to be your own fat transferred to yourself.

If you don't have it, there's things you could do -exercise, maybe improve the muscles of your buttocks. Other things that you can do, you could look into butt implants. However, the reason why we do Brazilian Butt Lift with your own fat cells is to avoid complications that you could get with butt implants, which I'm sure everybody's seen stories about plastic surgery gone bad.

There's steps we take to maximize the healing of the fat cells, such as not putting pressure on the fat. There's special garments that we have you wear. There's preparation of those fat cells that we do after we take them out of your body before we put them back into your body. For instance, we concentrate those cells, so that way, we're injecting those live cells back into your body. We want to maximize the environment so that they'll have a great blood supply and heal and have a good, what we call, take. Traditionally, there's about a 70 to 80% take of the fat cells.
