The Brazilian butt lift procedure is a type of buttock augmentation surgery where a patient’s own fat is transferred from one part of the body to the buttocks. There are two types of buttock augmentation surgery. The first involves the placement of implants to enhance the shape and size of the buttocks. The second, known as a Brazilian butt lift, involves a transfer of fat from some other part of the body to the buttock area. In medical terminology, both are called gluteal augmentations.

liv surgeons have perfected both these procedures, and patients travel from all over the world to South Florida to experience their skill and high level of care.

Buttock augmentation procedures are most often performed in an outpatient setting, and the type of anesthesia administered will depend on your particular case. The surgeon and his staff will discuss all the options and assure that you are comfortable with all aspects of the Brazilian butt lift procedure.

The Brazilian butt lift procedure starts with the preoperative analysis and planning by Dr. Ress. The area where the additional fat is desired are marked in a standing position. The incision sites are marked by a surgical marker, while the incisions themselves are typically small. The Brazilian butt surgery starts with liposuction, where a surgeon sucks out the fat out of the other areas of the body into a sterile container. The harvested fat is then processed and re-injected into the outlined areas, where you want it them to be.

• You can expect firmer, fuller buttocks, and results will be seen once the normal swelling diminishes.
• Enhanced self-esteem is experienced by the vast majority of patients. Buttock augmentation is among the most popular procedures for men and women, and thousands of them are performed in the U.S. each year. They are safe and discomfort is minimal.
• The Brazilian butt lift surgery, unlike many other procedures, provides natural-looking results, while creating more roundness and volume on your backside. We will spend as much time is necessary going over your desired look such as shape type, size and projection
• Softens your look and can address certain figure imbalances that prevent you from wearing clothes the way you want to.
• Smooths out any irregularities so not visible in clothes
• Brazilian butt lift procedure can correct some age-related issues, such as sagging and shapelessness.

• Sculptra® Butt Lift – Sculptra® is a filler that works to thicken skin and stimulate collagen growth, producing a firmer and more lifted butt. Sculptra® butt lifts are non-surgical. Dr. Ress is one of only a few plastic surgeons doing this procedure in Florida.
• Fat Transfer Augmentation (Brazilian Butt Lift) – Brazilian butt lift procedure type refers to body fat being collected by use of liposuction through small inconspicuous incisions and is deposited in the appropriate areas to form the desired shape and size.
• Implant Augmentation – An incision will be made. The incision can be made toward the top on both sides of the upper buttock, toward the bottom in both of the gluteal creases, between both cheeks (hidden in the crease) or with one incision placed down the center of the sacrum, or the crease between the buttocks. The length of the incision and scar is directly related to the affected areas. Implants are inserted so that the desired shape and size is achieved.

If any of the following conditions apply to you, you may be considered a good candidate for buttock augmentation surgery:

• You are bothered by the feeling that your buttocks are too small
• You are unhappy with the roundness or general shape of your buttocks
• Your buttocks are asymmetrical
• You have a bloated appearance due to excess fat

Other desirable circumstances are to be physically healthy, and to have realistic expectations in terms of what you can expect from a butt augmentation surgery.

Whether they opt for a Brazilian butt lift surgery or some other type of butt augmentation surgery, patients often report increased self-esteem and a better figure, as well as increased compliments from family and friends. Recovery time is a few days, and patients can resume normal activity in about two weeks. When it comes to Brazilian buttock lift in Florida, this procedure has become wildly popular, particularly in South Florida, including in Fort Lauderdale and Miami.

Sculptra® is a collagen-stimulating filler that is traditionally used in facial rejuvenation to fill smile lines, marionette lines and chin wrinkles. Sculptra® works to thicken skin and stimulate collagen growth, and the results can last for up to two years. Recently, Sculptra® has been used in other areas of the body to create fullness, firmness, lift and contour. One of the most popular new uses for Sculptra® is for butt contouring, creating a non-surgical butt augmentation procedure.
