The Brazilian Butt Lift in Houston

A Brazilian Butt Lift can enhance the shape and contour of the bottom, creating a curvaceous, youthful figure.
The Brazilian Butt Lift uses the body’s own fat

The Brazilian Butt Lift is a surgical procedure designed to enlarge and lift the buttocks. Using the body’s own fatty tissue, a Brazilian Butt Lift can enhance the shape and contour of the bottom, creating a curvaceous, youthful figure. The outpatient procedure will immediately create a perkier, rounder bottom that will continue to enhance the physique for years to come.

An Ideal Candidate for the Brazilian Butt Lift

A good candidate for the Brazilian Butt Lift will be in generally good health, looking to improve the shape and size of their buttocks. Potential patients will need to have enough excess fatty tissue, in a donor area, to achieve the desired buttock contour. An ideal candidate should fully understand the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure and hold realistic expectations for their final results. Patients who smoke are not good candidates for the procedure. Smoking decreases circulation, meaning the grafted fat tissue will typically not survive.

Prior to scheduling a Brazilian Butt Lift, a consultation with Dr. Vitenas will be arranged. The surgeon will perform a physical exam and review the patient’s medical history. Dr. Vitenas will explain the procedure and potential risks, finally answering any remaining questions. At this time, Dr. Vitenas will determine if the Brazilian Butt Lift is the recommended technique for the individual patient.

The Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure from Vitenas Cosmetic Surgery

Dr. Paul Vitenas performs his Brazilian Butt Lift at Houston Surgery Center, his dedicated surgical facility located in the Vitenas Cosmetic Surgery building.

Dr. Paul Vitenas performs his Brazilian Butt Lift at Houston Surgery Center, his dedicated surgical facility located in the Vitenas Cosmetic Surgery building. Performed with general anesthesia, a Brazilian Butt Lift will take from one to three hours to complete. Patients are back home the same afternoon.

To begin, Dr. Vitenas will make several small incisions, each about one-quarter inch in length, along the well-concealed skin creases of the buttocks. Fat is then collected from selected areas on the body using one of several liposuction techniques. The prepared fat is then injected into multiple layers of the buttocks, lifting and filling the tissue to the desired size and shape. During the procedure, Dr. Vitenas can excise stretch, unwanted tissue along the buttocks, as well, creating a perkier, taut bottom. Once the predetermined aesthetic goal has been achieved, Dr. Vitenas will place dissolvable sutures along the incisions, as well as a compression garment, for safe healing.

The Fat Transfer Process

The fat transfer involves the excision of excess fatty tissue from a donor area, which is then processed, and reinjected into a different area of the body. A fat transfer can be used to improve the volume of almost any area of the body, including the buttocks, hands, calves, breasts, and face. Liposuction is used to remove unwanted fat from areas such a the abdomen or thighs. Next, using a specialized centrifuge, the tissue is cleaned and separated. Finally, the processed fat cells are then reinjected into the target area.

Recovery following a Brazilian Butt Lift takes approximately one to two weeks. There are no drains or stitches that need to be removed. Most people are feeling good enough to return to work within five to seven days, however, patients should refrain from putting pressure on the buttocks for at least the first two weeks. As the transferred fat is living tissue, it is extremely delicate. During this time, patients will need to sleep on their stomach, and sit on their thighs or a specialized, post-op cushion. More strenuous activity and exercise can usually be resumed after six weeks.

Complications from the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure are minimal. Although the skin and tissues will continue to change with age, as long as patients follow a healthy lifestyle and stay within their ideal weight, the results from a Brazilian Butt Lift can be expected to last for years to come.
