Natural Butt Augmentation with Fat Injections

Using liposuction, the Brazilian Butt lift technique takes fat from areas where you don’t want it – such as your tummy, waist, back or thighs – and transplants the fat into the buttocks area. The unique advantage of this technique is that it slims an area of excess fat and injects fat right in the area you desire, the buttock. Many women choose to take the fat from their tummy and waist area, resulting in an attractive and natural profile with curves in all the right places. Men can also transplant fat from the belly or love handle area, or anywhere else where pockets of fat exist.
