Description
Brazilian butt lift for shapely curves
The Brazilian Butt Lift kills two birds with one stone. In this method of buttock augmentation, the body's own fat is removed by liposuction from one area of the body and reintroduced into the buttocks and the so-called hip dips for enlargement and shaping. The result is a rounder and generally firmer buttock, while problem areas of other body regions are corrected at the same time. This achieves a feminisation or shaping of the body.
 
For the Brazilian Butt Lift, several litres of fat must be removed from another area. Anyone who wishes to have a buttock augmentation but does not have enough of their own fat available can also have implants inserted or combine both methods. The implants come in various sizes and are therefore selected to suit the body.
 
The Brazilian Butt Lift as well as buttock augmentation with implants are relatively low-risk procedures, provided they are performed by specialists. However, they can pose problems if carried out by inexperienced doctors. In both cases, patients should ensure that buttock surgery is only performed by a specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery. The Brazilian Butt Lift in particular is frequently performed by doctors who possess none of the aforementioned expertise.
 
You should protect yourself against complications that make follow-up treatments necessary – such as capsular fibrosis. With beautyprotect you protect yourself in such cases against high costs that you had not budgeted for and that are not covered by your health insurance.
 
Before the procedure
Advice on preparing for buttock surgery
Whether you are planning a Brazilian butt lift or buttock enlargement with implants, for both buttock surgeries you should have completed any weight loss in advance. Otherwise, the usual precautionary measures apply, as follows:
 
  • Make sure that you are in a healthy state before the buttocks operation and avoid nicotine, alcohol and blood thinning agents for at least two weeks before and after the buttocks enlargement.
  • If you need to take anticoagulant or anticoagulant medication due to illness, discuss this with your doctor.
  • If your butt enlargement takes place under general anesthesia, you should be fasting - i.e. not eating anything after 10 p.m. the evening before the procedure.
  • We recommend organizing an accompanying person for your bottom surgery who will pick you up from the clinic and support you with the first steps at home.
  • After the Brazilian butt lift for buttock enlargement and after the use of implants, you will not be able to work for about two weeks, or at least you will not be able to sit at a desk. Therefore, submit your vacation in advance in good time.
Aftercare
What you should consider after buttock surgery
As long as you follow a few small rules after butt enlargement, the desired result should be achieved after about three to four months. During the Brazilian Butt Lift, some of your own fat can evaporate again. However, the amount should remain minimal.
 
  • After the buttock operation, you will usually stay in the clinic for two to four nights, then you should take it easy for two weeks. However, small, non-strenuous activities are easily possible.
  • Both after the Brazilian Butt Lift and after the use of implants, the pain is limited, similar to sore muscles.
  • For the first two months, you will wear a girdle to support and secure the butt implants and to protect the areas where fat may have been removed.
  • You should only sleep on your stomach for the first few weeks and only start exercising after six to eight weeks. However, you can sit again after about two days - regardless of whether you have a Brazilian butt lift or butt enlargement implants.
  • The small scars usually disappear quite quickly. In order to have a positive effect on the result in the long term, you should avoid UV radiation from the sun or solarium.
