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.
The advantages of choosing a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL and Lipo360) instead of Buttock Implants are:
- The results are more natural and attractive.
- The incisions used in the procedure are smaller, resulting in minimal scarring.
- Recovery from a Brazilian butt lift is faster.
- Added slenderizing benefit of liposuction.
- Chance of butt implant rejection is eliminated.
Most people who want a shapelier butt are good candidates for a butt lift, although you may be better suited to butt implants if you do not have enough fat to transfer to the buttocks area.

Both men and women alike may be unhappy with a sagging, flat or poorly shaped booty. For women particularly, the butt lift procedure is a great way to create beautiful body proportions.

In a surgery by American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the risk of fat emboli is 1/3000 cases.
Q: What layers of the buttock is fat injected into with the butt lift?
