Buttocks Lift & Augmentation
Brazilian Buttock Lift Surgery

A Brazilian Buttock Lift and Buttock Augmentation is an exciting procedure that can provide a fantastic boost to the backside and lateral thighs. Laxity of the tissue in these areas is corrected through the removal of loose skin, creating firm and youthful-looking contours. The final incision created with this procedure is closed with delicate, dissolving sutures that leave the finest scar. The results of your butt lift and augmentation are highly gratifying, especially for H/K/B patients who are frustrated with drooping and sagging of the backside due to aging, weight loss, or a natural lack of volume and skin firmness.

The Brazilian butt lift isn’t just for people who feel their butts are flat or deflated, and it isn’t just for people who want to look like Jennifer Lopez or Kim Kardashian. The majority of people who opt for this procedure do so because the soft tissue around the buttocks and outer thighs has drooped. The result of a BBL is a youthful contour in proportion with the rest of the body.

At H/K/B, we perform the Brazilian butt lift using fat grafts from your own body. It’s a great way to sculpt one part of the body while enhancing another.

The techniques we use during a BBL were developed by our surgeons and have been performed frequently to help patients meet their cosmetic body goals.

During the Brazilian butt lift, the buttocks are lifted and smoothed to achieve the outcome you want. This procedure provides a lift in position and a boost in volume. Patients can also enjoy the benefits of slimmer body contours in other areas, while their backside looks firmer and rounder.

What can I expect during Brazilian butt lift surgery?

The Brazilian butt lift surgery and buttock augmentation is usually performed under anesthesia at our fully accredited surgical facility on our beautiful campus, where our highly qualified nurses will pamper you. Our nurses are certified in advanced cardiac life support, which ensures the highest level of supervision, evaluation, and care in the unlikely event of an emergency. We also work only with advanced anesthesia providers.

Incisions are made under the buttocks crease where they will remain hidden. A soft silicone implant is inserted, which will feel firm but natural to the touch.

Liposuction is used in an area with excess fat such as the abdomen, thighs, flanks, or hips. Through a small incision, a tube called a cannula is inserted and attached to a suction device. The fat is extracted and then treated in a centrifuge. It can then be re-injected into the buttocks to (1) make sure the implant will be invisible and (2) contour the buttocks for the best possible shape.

At H/K/B, our plastic surgeons use a new technique for fat grafting that causes less disruption to the harvested fat cells. What does this mean for you? More of the fat that is injected will “take,” which means that less of the fat will be absorbed by the body. When fat is absorbed, it sometimes causes the need for a second injection procedure. Our technique also allows us to perform fat grafting faster than in the past with less downtime for you.

Fat Grafting for the Buttocks

Do you wish your bottom was rounder, fuller, or more lifted? Fat grafting is a state-of-the-art technique that allows you to reduce one area of the body and enhance the buttocks. Using liposuction techniques, we can transfer fatty tissue from an area such as the abdomen, thighs, flanks, or hips to the buttocks in order to make them rounder and higher.

Even if an implant is required for the result you want, we can also use fat transfer for better contouring. As a result, the implant cannot be seen through the skin.

Our technique also allows us to perform fat grafting faster than in the past with less downtime for you.

After the fat is harvested, it is treated and then re-injected into the buttocks where additional volume is needed. Our surgeons are experts at both liposuction and contouring of the buttocks.

If you work out and eat right but still find that you have pockets of fat on your body, you’re not alone. It’s just a harsh reality that some fatty tissue refuses to respond to diet and exercise. This is why liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic plastic surgery procedures at H/K/B.

Of course, this popularity is also because our founder, Dr. Hunstad, now retired, developed the “Hunstad System,” the most widely utilized tumescent anesthesia system in the world, which is an advanced technique used for tumescent liposuction. Our H/K/B surgeons have been trained in this technique by the inventor, so you can count on receiving the safest, most state-of-the-art liposuction from any of our extensively experienced and credentialed surgeons.

What can I expect during fat grafting for the buttocks?

During a Brazilian butt lift, liposuction and fat grafting can be performed on an outpatient basis using general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation at our fully accredited surgical facility on our beautiful campus, where our highly qualified nurses will pamper you. Our nurses are certified in advanced cardiac life support, which ensures the highest level of supervision, evaluation, and care in the unlikely event of an emergency. We also work with advanced anesthesia providers.

In the liposuction portion of the process, an incision is made on the part of the body where the fat will be removed, and a tube called a cannula is inserted. A vacuum-like device is attached to the cannula, and suction carefully removes the appropriate amount of fat.

The fat is then carefully processed. The resulting fat is very smooth in texture so that it will look perfectly natural when re-injected into the buttocks using a small atraumatic cannula

Since your own tissue is used, there are no issues with rejection. No lengthy incisions are necessary with this procedure, and the incisions can be closed with delicate dissolving sutures that leave the finest of scars.

Our techniques prevent absorption of the injected fat, but a small amount may be absorbed by the body during the first three months. After that, the remaining grafted fat is long lasting.

Autologous Buttock Augmentation

The buttock augmentation can be performed alongside a Brazilian buttock lift to create an augmented appearance. This procedure is particularly helpful for patients who lack volume in the area or where the majority of their buttock volume lies within the excess skin and tissue to be removed. We offer two types of augmentation: the autologous flap and the pursestring gluteoplasty.

With the autologous flap, the buttock padding is lifted to a more youthful position and is sutured into place. During a pursestring gluteoplasty, a suture is placed around the circumference of each buttock pad and is tightened to provide the desired projection. The result with both of these procedures is a lifted, more natural and youthful contour. The method that is right for you is determined during your consultation.

Buttock Implant & Buttock Augmentation

A buttock implant gives you the perky curves you have always wanted, without using liposuction techniques. Patients who want improved curves or who simply feel their buttocks are too flat can achieve the figure they want with implants.

In some cases, fat grafts or techniques such as autologous buttocks augmentation may be sufficient. For others, an implant will provide the result they want.

Butt implants may be recommended for patients who do not have sufficient excess fat to be harvested and re-injected for fat grating or BBL.

At H/K/B, when we insert a buttock implant, we also remove any lax skin from the buttocks and perform fat grafting as necessary to further contour the buttocks and ensure the implant cannot be seen through the skin.

How long does it take to recover from surgery?

You must sit very cautiously for the first few weeks. We generally recommend avoiding pressure on the buttocks for two weeks. You can return to work in about two weeks or when you’re comfortable. There will be swelling, bruising, and soreness in both the buttocks and the area where the fat was harvested for the grafts. Swelling may take up to six months to fully resolve, but we will give you a compression garment to wear that will help to keep swelling to a minimum.

Strenuous activities should be avoided for 4-6 weeks. Of course, we will monitor your progress for your buttock augmentation and Brazilian buttock lift, see you for follow-up examinations, and answer any questions you have during your recovery period.
