Brazilian butt lift is one of the most popular cosmetic processes involving the transferring of fat in order to create more suppleness and roundness in the buttock.

Exercise alone cannot render the fullness in one’s buttock. If you want to lift your butt in cosmetic manner, here we are with a complete guideline on a Brazilian butt lift.

The Procedure

The procedure involves fat grafting that looks noticeable for its natural appearance. Some of the steps are as follow:
First, anesthesia is conducted. Here a small volume is transferred. Local anesthesia or a numbing medication is ideal for it. You can ask your cosmetologist for an anti nausea medicines if you feel sick with anesthesia.
Then the surgeon uses liposuction for removing fat from other parts of your body like thighs, stomach, and hips. It involves an incision in the skin before using a tube for removing fat from the body.
Then the removed fat is purified and prepared for injecting into the buttocks.
The surgeon completes the process by injecting the purified fat into specific areas on your butt to create a fuller and rounded look. He or she can make around three to five incisions around the butt for transferring fat.
Finally the fat transferred incision and liposuction are closed with stitches. The surgeon can apply a compression garment in the affect skin area to reduce the risk of bleeding.

The Results

• It can also address several issues like shapelessness and sagging occurred with age.
