What Is a
Brazilian Butt Lift?
/
A Brazilian butt lift is a procedure that redistributes fat to add volume and enhance the shape of your backside. Excess fat is removed from the hips, abdomen, lower back, or thighs with liposuction. A portion of this fat is strategically injected into the buttocks. Using your own fat tissue allows our plastic surgeon to give your butt a natural-looking appearance that will boost your self-confidence.

Natural-Looking Results
Butt implants are associated with a number of disadvantages. They are often visible through the skin, can sag over time, and don't feel as real. With the Brazilian butt lift procedure, our plastic surgeon uses your own fat to reshape your butt. The injections result in virtually no scarring, and the outcome is more attractive and natural-looking than implants.
Slim Your Figure
To harvest excess tissue for the procedure, we perform liposuction to remove unwanted fat from other areas of the body. Fat is often removed from the abdomen, hips, or thighs. This effective treatment enables us to contour more than one area of the body so you can leave our office with a thinner waist, more slender thighs, and a shapelier backside.
Safer and Less Invasive
Fat transfer injections to the buttocks are far less invasive than the placement of implants. Because no incisions are made in the buttocks, patients experience fewer side effects in this area, including reduced discomfort, swelling, and scarring. The Brazilian butt lift procedure safely and effectively produces a fuller, more contoured rear.

What to Expect during Your Recovery
Healing
The Brazilian butt lift procedure does not result in nearly as much swelling, discomfort, and bruising as implant surgery. However, these side effects might be more apparent at the liposuction treatment site. Typically, over-the-counter pain medication, rest, and drinking plenty of water can help you feel more comfortable and encourage healing.Compression Garment
Patients must wear a compression garment to aid in healing, reduce swelling, and smooth out their results. A compression garment helps the body support the new shape of your buttocks. This is worn for several weeks after the procedure to ensure the best results.Returning to Work
Typically, patients will need to take at least two weeks off of work to recover from surgery. Once patients do return to work, it is a good idea to use a standing desk as much as possible for the remainder of the recovery period to avoid putting pressure on the healing tissues.Follow-Up Appointments
We will schedule follow-up appointments at our Reno office to monitor your healing and ensure everything is going smoothly. Dr. James E. Murphy is closely involved in your recovery process and is always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have.Look and Feel Your Best Contact Our Reno Practice Today

View on GoogleHow Can Patients Maintain Their Results?
Minimize
Sitting
In order to retain as much fat as possible after surgery, it is important to avoid putting excess pressure on the buttocks for about two weeks. Patients should avoid sitting on their buttocks or sleeping on their backs. During this time, patients should lie on their side or stomach or use pillows to prop up the buttocks to avoid compromising the healing process until eight weeks after surgery.
Limit
Exercising
Patients should avoid exercising for six to eight weeks after treatment. Exercising can cause you to lose some of the newly injected fat cells. Keep in mind that it is normal to lose some transplanted fat after a Brazilian butt lift. However, by following our post-surgical instructions, patients can retain up to 70 percent of the injected fat. The final results of treatment are apparent three months after surgery.
Maintain Good Health
While patients should avoid strenuous activity after fat transfer injections and liposuction, it is important to maintain a healthy diet and resume exercise when recovery is complete. Following a healthy diet and exercise routine is critical to maintaining the results of a Brazilian butt lift and other body contouring procedures. Our surgeon will clear you for more strenuous exercise once you are ready.
Understanding the Risks
Thanks to celebrities and fashion styles, Brazilian butt lifts have become very popular in recent years. As the procedure grows in popularity, so do safety concerns.
Any surgery performed by those with inadequate training or experience can be deadly for patients. As a board-certified plastic surgeon with years of experience, Dr. James Murphy has an advanced understanding of how to minimize risks. Our Reno plastic surgeon uses the latest safety techniques and places the patient's health as the number one priority.
Using your own body tissue minimizes the risks of complications. Alternatives like butt implants can sag over time, become visible through the skin, cause chronic pain, or other complications.
