Brazilian Butt Lift vs. Butt Augmentation vs. Butt Lift - What's the Difference?

Buttock augmentation can be accomplished by several means: either by a fat transfer (Brazilian butt lift) or by gluteal implants.  The preferred method involves fat transfer which uses your own fat to reshape and recontour your entire gluteal/lower back area.  Gluteal (buttock implants) are hard,silicone devices which are not as natural feeling as fat. The "lift" portion refers to the fullness and projection of the buttock from the fat which is injected into this area- there is no surgical incision with skin removal.

Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to see which approach is best for your specific anatomy.

I prefer fat transfer as it allows me more opportunity for sculpting the entire buttock/lower back/waist/hip area.

One of the ways women augment their buttocks is through buttock implants. However, many women prefer a butt lift using their own fat cells. This procedure is called the Brazilian butt lift, or autologous buttock augmentation. Using fat grafting has several benefits over implants. These include:

Avoiding use of implants or foreign material.
Treatment of multiple areas to enhance overall result.
Overall lower complication rates
Patient may benefit from losing fat from the donor sites, such as the abdomen (modified liposuction)
