The Brazilian Butt Lift and fat injection to the buttocks are describing the same procedure.
However successful butt enhancement usually requires special techniques and consideration.
For instance the areas surrounding the buttocks have to be sculpted in such a way as to enhance the buttock shape prior to the fat transfer.
Hips, outer and inner thigh liposuction should be performed first.
Quite often the area of the lower back just above the buttocks is an area that must be addressed.
Successful fat grafting depends upon the following factors: 1.
Harvesting of viable fat cells Fat can be harvested by syringe but that can be a very time consuming procedure.
Using a traditional liposuction machine, laser lipo or ultrasonic lipo machine is a waste of time because the fat cells will die in the process.
I have been thrilled with the use of the Body Jet machine for the initial lipo sculpting and harvesting of very viable fat.
The fat is extracted in a gentle manner using the water assisted system set on low and the suction machine is used on half strength.
The fat is collected in a special device that filters out unwanted particles, and extracts the water leaving intact concentrated fat cells that can be re injected.
2.
Injection technique The fat has to be injected using a 2-2.
5 mm cannula tunneling in a honeycomb manner at the appropriate level.
The first level is in the gluteus muscle fascia and muscle itself.
To achieve a lift the upper portion of the muscle is enhanced first.
After the volumetric change has been achieved, additional fat is injected into the subcutaneous tissues to smooth out dimples, wrinkles and to give the buttocks a better shape.
Approximately 300-500 cc of fat is usually necessary for each side.
