¿What is Brazilian Butt Lift?
Colombia is a very popular country for plastic surgery. The Brazilian Butt Lift is a technique in which, through gluteal lipotransfer, fat is transferred from other areas of the body to the buttocks.
This transfer of fatty and tissue allows for more volume shape, resulting in a more striking appearance. The Brazilian Butt Lift is an alternative to buttock prosthesis implantation, which is a more invasive option and carries a higher risk of complications.
Why have a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Most people (almost all women), for purely aesthetic reasons, choose to undergo a Brazilian Butt Lift because they wish to have more prominent and attractive buttocks. Others may also choose this procedure to correct certain body imbalances or to improve their body proportion. In either case, the Brazilian Butt Lift allows to improve the appearance of the buttocks to make them more beautiful and striking.

Butt Lift is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes two to four hours. First, the surgeon removes fat from other areas of the body, such as the tummy, thighs or arms, by liposuction. The fat is then processed and injected into the buttocks.
How is the fat prepared before it is injected into the buttocks?
After fat is removed by liposuction, the surgeon purifies the fat and prepares it for injection into the buttocks. This process usually includes:
- Filtering: The fat is filtered to remove any connective tissue or dead cells.
- Centrifuging: The fat undergoes centrifugation to separate the pure fat cells from any liquid or impurities.
- Blending: The pure fat cells are mixed with a saline solution to facilitate their injection into the buttocks.
This process of purifying and preparing the fat is important to ensure that the fat remains viable and has a higher survival rate once injected into the buttocks.
Some surgeons may also use certain techniques to improve the quality of the fat prior to injection, such as cryopreservation or growth factor treatment.
How is the recovery after a Brazilian Butt Lift?
After undergoing a Brazilian Butt Lift, it is important to follow the surgeon’s instructions to promote a good recovery and minimize the risk of complications. Some common recommendations after this procedure include:
It is important to take a few days of rest to allow the body to recover from the surgery. It is recommended to avoid strenuous physical activity for at least one week after surgery.
It is normal to feel pain and discomfort for the first few days after surgery. The surgeon may prescribe medication to control pain and reduce swelling.
Your surgeon may recommend certain wound care measures, such as applying cold compresses or wearing compression stockings.
It is important to avoid sitting directly on the buttocks for at least one week after surgery to allow the fat to settle and integrate properly.
It is important to attend the post-operative check-ups scheduled by the surgeon to evaluate the recovery process and detect any possible complications in time.
It is important to follow the surgeon’s instructions to the letter to ensure a good recovery and minimize the risk of complications. If you develop worrisome symptoms, such as fever or persistent pain, it is important to contact your surgeon immediately.

Effectiveness of Brazilian Butt Lift
Brazilian Butt Lift has established itself as one of the most popular aesthetic techniques to improve the shape of the buttocks.
The effectiveness of Brazilian Butt Lift depends on the exact location of the fat grafts as well as the quantity and quality of the fat grafts.
An expert plastic surgeon can inject the fat at various depths to ensure that the procedure produces the best results.
In addition, a postoperative plan is essential to achieving the best results and allowing your implants to look natural and beautiful.
This care often requires a lot of work, but with patience, patients have a very good potential to develop slightly improved bodies that contrast with their pre-surgical bodies.
