A Brazilian butt lift is one of the most common surgical procedures. In this butt augmentation process, fat is removed from different parts of the body through liposuction. The harvested fat is then purified and re-injected back to the buttocks.

After the fat purification process, only the best donor fat cells are injected back into the buttocks. This means only a fraction of the harvested fat is used.

The process of fat re-injection consists of scores and hundreds of injections. The goal of this procedure is to fill the upper quadrant of the butt so that it looks lifted and fuller. The result is a more attractive and perky bottom.

Patients choose to have a Brazilian butt lift for a variety of reasons. Some simply want to have a more prominent and good-looking back side, while others think that a butt lift would help correct a rear that lacks character. Either way, this butt enhancement surgery can greatly improve one’s self-confidence and appearance.

Other candidates are those who have lost weight and would like to restore their fine curves and shapely figure. There are also some who have trouble improving their rear with exercise.

Ideally, however, a good candidate should be full grown – at least eighteen years old. Also, the patient should be in good physical health because a Brazilian butt lift is a major undertaking and there is a substantial amount of pain one would feel. It would also be better if the patient chooses this surgery for realistic goals.

During the butt lift pre-operative consultation, the doctor usually discusses the patient’s goals to determine if there are any factors that would prevent the patient from undergoing the surgery.

Furthermore, since the process involves suctioning fat from selected body parts, it would not be advisable for thin women that do not have enough fat on their body to perform the butt lift procedure. In cases like these, the other butt augmentation procedure to use would be butt implants.
