Brazilian Butt Lift
The shape and size of your buttocks are primarily dictated by your genetics, anatomy, and how your body stores fat. Enhancing “flat” buttocks through targeted exercises alone is challenging, which is why many women choose the Brazilian butt lift procedure.
Brazilian butt lift is a type of buttock augmentation that uses your own fat cells to enhance the contour of your backside. This fat grafting method provides fuller, rounder buttocks with more projection to balance your body shape. Dr. Georgina Nichols offers Brazilian butt lift in Sacramento to improve your self-confidence in your figure.
Brazilian butt lift can be a safe and effective procedure, but choosing a plastic surgeon with experience and training with fat transfer is crucial. A skilled plastic surgeon, such as Dr. Nichols, knows how to strategically inject the harvested fat into the buttocks to enhance the size and shape without compromising your health and safety.
Your Brazilian Butt Lift with Dr. Nichols
Buttock augmentation with fat grafting removes unwanted fat from a stubborn area, such as the abdomen, hips, or thighs. Brazilian butt lift is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Nichols first performs liposuction to remove the fat cells, and then they are purified, prepared, and injected into the buttocks to increase volume and improve the shape and projection of the buttocks.
Brazilian butt lift is unlike other lift procedures because it focuses on increasing size and projection and does not address loose skin tissue. Dr. Nichols can enhance your lower body curvature and reduce fat in a troublesome area with Brazilian butt lift, providing a more pleasing figure and harmony with the upper body. However, patients with loose skin may wish to combine the procedure with a thigh lift.
The body will reabsorb an estimated 20% to 40% of the transferred fat cells, and Dr. Nichols may overfill the buttocks with harvested fat to account for reabsorption. The amount of fat that survives depends on how well you follow post-surgical recovery instructions. Patients must avoid putting pressure on the buttocks while they heal, including sleeping on their stomach or side and standing for activities. After several weeks, a donut or pillow under the thighs is permitted to allow you to sit without putting pressure on the buttocks. Regular sitting is typically okay six to eight weeks after Brazilian butt lift.
Is Brazilian Butt Lift with Dr. Nichols Right for You?
Brazilian butt lift patients have typically lost volume in their behind due to aging, sagging skin, sun damage, pregnancy, and weight fluctuations. Others have a naturally small backside they wish to enhance for a proportionate figure. Candidates for Brazilian butt lifts must have sufficient fat stores to harvest enough fat cells for the procedure. It’s best for patients to have good skin tone in their hips and buttocks and have the time and dedication to follow recovery instructions. You must commit to avoiding sitting directly on your buttocks for several weeks.
If you’re bothered by small or sagging buttocks, Brazilian butt lift may be right for you if you are in good physical health, a nonsmoker, and have realistic expectations for your results.
Thin or lean patients may not have enough fat to harvest for Brazilian butt lift and may consider buttock augmentation with silicone implants instead. However, buttock augmentation with implants is more invasive and has additional risks.
