What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

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.

How is a Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery Performed?

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.
