Brazilian Butt Lift

This procedure is derived from the recent advances in understanding of the use of fat transferred from one part of the body to another. By using liposuction to harvest fat which is then specially treated in antibiotic solution and filtered to remove any other non-solid products such as liquid, the fat in its purest form can be placed in special syringes and injected into tissue such as the buttocks by tiny holes allowing the fat to survive in a new location.

If the proper amount is used, the fat will take on a new form and survive in a cylinder shaped pocket almost completely in its full form. Although a slight loss will take place as some of the fat is transferred and becomes liquified, most will take on what is believed to be a permanent addition to the tissue and will increase the volume predictably.

As in the example above, a dramatic reduction in the patient's abdominen occured after meticuluous liposuction was performed, which allowed the fat to be processed and added to the buttocks area to increase the volume of both the top and the side of the buttocks, allowing a total reshaping of the patient's body.

The lift of the butt occurs because the fat is placed mostly in the upper and middle portion of the buttocks, causing the skin to shift upwards. The lift is accentuated sometimes by liposuction of the lower buttocks to shape and enhance the curve of the part of the buttocks that meets that back of the leg.

By reducing the lower part of butt and augmenting the upper part, the lift effect has been maximized. Although some debate continues in plastic surgery science about what happens to the fat after it is relocated, a permanent and definite change can almost always be seen in a properly performed procedure. The Image Cosmetic Center learned the intricacies of this technique from Dr. Tino Mendieta, a well-known surgeon in Miami and friend of Dr. Friedlander.
