One popular procedure for contouring the body is our Washington DC Brazilian Butt Lift. It is a cosmetic buttock augmentation procedure designed to improve the look of your buttocks by surgically re-sizing and reshaping the gluteal region. This procedure combines liposuction and methodical fat transfer to achieve the best possible Brazilian Butt Lift solution to enhance your overall appearance. In some case a small silicone implant may further enhance the result.

Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure

During our Bethesda Brazilian Butt Lift, fat cells are harvested from areas of the body where they are excessive and not wanted. These areas may include: abdomen, flanks, back and thighs. Harvested cells are then redistributed to your buttocks, to achieve a beautiful, natural augmentation and contour. The combination of augmentation of the buttocks and liposuction to the surrounding areas truly enhance the contours of all areas.

This procedure is generally performed on an outpatient basis with general anesthesia. Typically, we anticipate approximately 50% of the fat cells to survive the transfer. To compensate, we standardly inject slightly more fat into the buttocks than is needed so the final outcome meets your expectations.

What Is Recovery Like after a Brazilian Butt Lift?

Most patients experience minimal pain and discomfort that can be easily controlled with medication after a Brazilian Butt Lift. You will be asked to not lie or sit directly on your buttocks for approximately two weeks after the procedure. You will need to sleep and lie on your side or stomach, and either stand or lie down for almost every activity.

After the initial phase of recovery, you may be allowed to sit using a “donut” or with a pillow under your thighs to keep pressure off the buttocks. You should be able to resume light activities within one week after surgery and return to work in approximately 10 to 14 days. Although, may patients work from home after their Washington DC Brazilian Butt Lift, sooner.

Brazilian Butt Lift FAQ's

Read our answers to frequently asked questions about undergoing a Brazilian Butt Lift.

Am I a Good Candidate for the Brazilian Butt Lift?

A Brazilian Butt Lift is a great treatment option to enhance the size and shape of the buttocks and improve the contours of the body. You may be a good candidate for this procedure if you:

Want to augment the buttocks without implants
Have good skin elasticity in the buttocks and hips
Have adequate stores of fat in other areas to serve as donor sites for fat transfer

When Will I See Results?

Some results will be visible immediately after the procedure. However, final results will not appear until several months after surgery, when you are fully healed, and residual swelling has subsided. At this point, your improved body contours and curvier buttocks will be much more noticeable.

How Long Will My Results Last?

Results with a Brazilian Butt Lift are meant to be long-lasting. Once fat cells are removed from areas with excess fat deposits, they are gone forever. Fat cells that survive transfer to the buttocks will remain and continue functioning for years to come. It is important to maintain a stable weight, as significant weight fluctuations can affect your results. Complications are rare but may occur. They may include: asymmetry, contour irregularity, or infection.
