A lifted, toned, full-sized “behind” is something that few women are born with but that many women wish they had. Maybe you feel this way too? With a Brazilian butt lift (also called butt augmentation), the size, shape and fullness of your butt can be carefully sculpted and enhanced, giving you the sexy, attractive butt you’ve always wanted.

Using liposuction, a Brazilian butt lift takes fat from areas where you have too much—such as the stomach, waist, back or thighs—and transplants it into the buttocks to create a fuller, sexier, more curvaceous shape. In addition to the Brazilian butt lift, I offer a wide range of other body sculpting procedures to help you achieve a more shapely body, which you can learn about here.

Builds up where you want more, slims down where you want less

The unique advantage of the Brazilian butt lift is that as well as adding volume to your butt, it slims down areas where you have excess fat and would like to be trimmer. For this reason, many of my patients choose to have fat taken away from their tummy and waist area at the same time that they’re having a butt lift, giving them a more shapely, hourglass profile.

A BBL uses your own fat so there’s no chance of rejection

During this procedure, I use liposuction to remove excess fat from certain parts of your body and transfer it to the buttock area that needs augmentation, commonly the higher area of the buttocks to give them a lifted, fuller appearance. Typically, I extract this fat from the lower back, “love handles” and abdomen and use it to shape the top and sides of the butt. Since this fat is from your own body, there’s no risk of rejection.

The difference between a Brazilian butt lift and butt implants

Butt implants are made of artificial material, the same way breast implants are. A butt lift removes your own fat and then transfers it into the buttocks, similar to a graft or transplant. The fat cells that are injected into the buttocks will react to weight changes in the same way that your normal fat does, so if you gain weight, they will get bigger. If you lose weight, they will get smaller.

Also, a butt lift is less invasive and ultimately less painful than butt implants. However, in order to have this procedure, you must have a good amount of excess fat in certain parts of your body—such as your thighs, flanks or abdomen—that can be extracted and then injected into your buttocks.

Why I prefer butt lifts over butt implants

As a highly experienced plastic surgeon who has performed hundreds of successful butt augmentations, I much prefer the Brazilian butt lift to butt implants. Here’s why:

1. With a butt lift, the results are more natural and attractive.
2. There are fewer complications with butt lifts.
3. Liposuction can be performed at the same time as a butt lift to give more roundness, shape and curve to the buttocks.
4. Fat shapes well and can be placed specifically in the areas that need it (to create hips, for example).
5. A butt lift allows me to trim away fat in certain areas while building up others, creating a curvy “hourglass” figure.
6. The fat comes from your own body so there is no risk of rejection.
7. The incisions used in a butt lift are smaller than with implants, resulting in minimal scarring.
8. Recovery from a butt lift is faster than with implants. Patients usually can go back to work about one week after a butt lift procedure.

How long will the results last?

With a Brazilian butt lift, I take fat from one area of your body and put it into another, where it stays permanently. This is a very long-lasting procedure. You should know, however, that about 50% of the injected fat stays in the area and about 50% will be reabsorbed by the body. This is why I always put in extra fat grafts.

How much does butt augmentation cost?

One of the first questions my patients ask me when they’re considering a Brazilian butt lift is how much it will cost. My answer is that there is no one standard price. Recognizing that every woman’s body and expectations for butt augmentation surgery are unique to her, I determine the exact cost of a Brazilian butt lift after I have met with the patient, evaluated her body type, amount of fat stores, overall physical condition and her personal goals and expectations. Then together, we will decide what type of procedure will achieve the best possible results. For further pricing details, please contact me.

What to expect during the procedure

During the procedure, thin layers of fat are vacuumed from areas with excess fat deposits and then layered on top of each other in the buttocks to produce the desired contour and fullness. Because of the meticulous way the fat has to be extracted (liposuction), processed and reinjected, butt augmentation surgery typically takes 2-4 hours. However, this depends on the amount of liposuction performed and the amount of fat to be reinjected into the buttocks.

Following the procedure, special compression garments are worn for several weeks to help reduce swelling and to help shape the butt. People usually can go back to work about one week after the procedure.
