5 Important Facts About Brazilian Butt Lifts

5 Important Facts About Brazilian Butt Lifts

If you desire a voluptuous and curved backside, a Brazilian butt lift may be the answer. The procedure takes excess fat from other areas of your body to add volume and shape to your behind. 

While this procedure sounds like the perfect solution to your deficient backside, you should be fully informed before signing up for surgery. Here are five important facts about Brazilian butt lifts that the team at Skin Shop MedSpa in Houston, Texas, wants you to know. 

Why a Brazilian butt lift?

Unlike a traditional butt lift, which removes excess skin and fat to create a perky and toned appearance, a Brazilian butt lift goes a step further by augmenting your actual buttocks. Instead of using implants, your surgeon performs liposuction to harvest excess fat, purifies it, and then grafts it into your buttocks. 

This dual-action, fat grafting procedure not only eliminates unwanted flab but also enhances your figure by giving you a trimmer waist and a fuller behind.

Important facts to know before your Brazilian butt lift

A Brazilian butt lift can definitely give your backside a boost, but consider the following important facts before signing up:

1. Postsurgical care is uncomfortable and inconvenient

After the procedure, you won’t be able to sit directly on your buttocks or sleep on your back. You’ll need to invest in good pillows and find comfortable, supportive positions for rest and work.

2. You’ll wear compression garments 

To ensure proper healing, you’ll need to wear compression garments. Your doctor provides guidance on the appropriate size and type, and makes sure you know how to wear them correctly.

3. Final results take some time to appear

Immediate perfection is unrealistic. Initial swelling may make your buttocks appear lumpy, but this will subside as your body heals. Be patient as the final results develop over time.

4. You’ll have some scarring 

While scarring is minimal and will fade, it’s a natural part of the healing process. Don’t be misled by portrayals of instantly flawless results. It takes several months for you to get the backside you desire. 

5. Your results evolve over time

Over time, changes in your body such as weight fluctuations, skin elasticity, and muscle tone can affect the look of your Brazilian butt lift. Be aware that you may need a touch-up procedure in the future.

Are you ready to learn more?

An expertly executed Brazilian butt lift can effectively tighten your waist, tone your tummy, and enhance your buttocks. Fat transfers provide more natural-looking results compared to synthetic implants and carry a lower risk of complications.
