Brazilian Butt Lift
Fat Transfer Butt Lift for an Athletic-Looking Rear View in Ohio
While there are various augmentation techniques available to plastic surgeons, the Brazilian butt lift specifically uses a patient’s own fat cells, harvested from elsewhere on the body where there are enough to spare—or even a surplus. The ultimate result is a more athletic-looking, curvier backside.
What Does a Brazilian Butt Lift Include?
Fat cells do not float freely beneath the skin but are fixed in place, and so require loosening prior to removal. A standalone liposuction procedure may be performed via SmartLipo® Triplex®, which uses a laser to rupture the fat cells, creating a liquid that is easily suctioned out via small incisions. This technique is not suitable for fat transfer surgery, however, since the fat cells needed for a Brazilian butt lift must remain whole and intact throughout the process.
To harvest fat for transfer for a Brazilian butt lift, Dr. Hartman uses the tumescent technique, which involves the injection of a special solution made up of sterile fluid, an anesthetic, and medication to constrict blood vessels. Combined, this solution causes the targeted tissue to become firm. After making precise, tiny incisions, Dr. Hartman then inserts a specialized wand called a cannula into the tissue, gently moving it back and forth to separate the fat cells. He takes great care to not damage them during this loosening step, as well as while suctioning them out.
The living fat cells are then refined, which separates them from any blood or other materials that may have been removed along with them. This Brazilian butt lift process is the same process Dr. Hartman uses for natural fat transfer breast augmentation—which can be part of the same procedure.
The refined cells are then injected into the buttocks, always with an eye for consistency and proportion. Patients choosing a Brazilian butt lift should be sure to work with a doctor who has an eye for detailed lipo sculpting.
There is no risk of allergy or rejection like an implant might have, because the body is already used to its own cells.
What Can a Brazilian Butt Lift Do?
Fortunately, reintroducing volume can take flat to round and sagging to perky.
By injecting fat cells into the buttocks, a plastic surgeon can fill out the tissue once again to restore its projection and roundness. A Brazilian butt lift can also be used to give volume to patients who never before had it in their backside.
No matter a patient’s reason for choosing a Brazilian butt lift, it is important to select a doctor who has the experience and is skilled in the minimally invasive techniques necessary to create smooth, well-proportioned contours. Dr. Hartman approaches each patient as a unique individual and tailors the procedure to provide custom results that complement the rest of the body.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Recovering After a Brazilian Butt Lift
The initial recovery period may last up to 2 weeks. Brazilian butt lift patients should, however, begin light activity the next day, and generally return to work/routine activities of the 2nd or 3rd day after the procedure. It is advised to refrain from strenuous activities for 3 weeks.
