What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

A Brazilian butt lift in Scottsdale & Phoenix, also called a fat transfer to the buttocks, can produce a pleasing, natural, and full rear through a combination of liposuction and fat transfer.

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes between one and three hours to complete.

Fat transfer involves harvesting fat from one area of the body, like the abdomen, hips, or thighs, and then preparing and injecting it into the buttocks. Fat is collected through very small incisions that are about one-quarter inch in length and well concealed. The fat will be injected in very small amounts to produce a smooth and curved appearance, tighten the skin, and naturally lift sagging and wrinkled tissue.

What Does the Butt Augmentation Procedure Entail?

Step 1: Anesthesia

Immediately before your procedure, we will administer medications to ensure your comfort and safety. The Brazilian butt lift is done under general anesthesia, which means you will be completely asleep and unable to remember anything from the surgery.

Step 2: Liposuction

During the liposuction phase, Dr. Shapiro will make small incisions in the target area. He will then insert a cannula through the openings, moving it back and forth to break up and suction out the unwanted fat for the procedure. Liposuction for a Brazilian butt lift can be performed anywhere on the body, but it is most often done on the hips, back, thighs, and abdomen.

Step 3: Fat injections

The fat that was removed via liposuction will be processed to prepare it for injections. Dr. Shapiro will then transfer the fat to your buttocks through a series of strategically placed injections.

What Is the Recovery Like For a Butt Augmentation in Phoenix?

Many patients experience mild swelling, discomfort, and bruising after their Brazilian butt lift. These side effects typically resolve within one to two weeks. Stitches placed during the liposuction phase of the procedure will be removed one week later.

Most patients are able to return to work within seven to ten days. A special compression garment will be worn for the first month to support the new contours and help minimize swelling.

Patients should avoid exercise and sitting directly on the buttocks for about two weeks. Sleeping on the side or stomach is best during this time.

What Are the Results of a Brazilian Butt Lift in Phoenix?

Dr. Shapiro customizes all of his procedures to each patient’s needs, goals, and desires. With that said, you can expect a behind that is perkier, firmer, and rounder – and looks beautiful at home on your body. In addition, you will experience visible slimming benefits in the areas where liposuction was performed. The results are visible immediately, but will not be considered final until about one year after surgery, when the injected fat has settled.

The Brazilian butt lift produces very long-lasting results, as the transferred fat establishes a blood supply and thrives. As long as you continue to eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly, the results of your procedure can endure for years.

Always do your own research and interview different surgeons but be assured that Dr Shapiro will give you what you ask for. I’m delighted with my results and I had a full face lift, eyes and neck done, and fat transfer to eyes and nasolabial folds. I wish I had done it years ago. Office staff is wonderful and attentive too. Can’t say enough kind words.

Words cannot express how GRATEFUL I am to Dr. Shapiro!!! I had a rhinoplasty done by Dr. Shapiro 2 months ago and it has truly changed my life. My nose looks very natural and I could not be more happy with my results. After years of research and various consultations with plastic surgeons (in and out of state) I knew I had found the one when I met Dr. Shapiro!

During my first consultation with Dr. Shapiro he pointed out all the things that bothered me about my nose before I even brought it to his attention. That’s when I knew he and I were on the same page about what I wanted. He is EXTREMELY detail-oriented and a perfectionist (which is exactly what you want when undergoing any procedure especially if it’s on your face). He truly listens to you and makes you feel so comfortable. The thing I love the most about Dr. Shapiro’s technique is that he works with what you have and enhances it to its maximum potential, he is truly an artist. Dr. Shapiro’s makes it seem as though you never had any work done. His work is astounding, he gives you the nose you were supposed to be born with but even better! The before and after pictures of his patients will leave you speechless. When it comes to plastic surgeons there is truly no doctor that can compete with Dr. Shapiro’s beyond amazing work!

If you’re looking for a rhinoplasty surgeon I would recommend him 100%. I’m so in love with my results and I’m extremely lucky to have found him. Dr. Shapiro I seriously cant thank you enough!!!!

Dr. Shapiro and his staff are your top choice for plastic surgery in Arizona. He listens attentively to your specific desires and explains what can honestly happen to meet your personal goals. Everything about the experience at his office is what you would expect from a top surgeon and professional medical staff. Conveniently, the Skin Klinic inside his office offers the best aesthetic services to really complete the package of an even more beautiful you. You always feel welcomed in his office and can ask as many questions as you need regarding procedures, products, financing, and after surgery care. I have had several procedures performed by Dr. Shapiro and I must say if you want the body that you dream of that cannot be accomplished by diet and exercise then you need to make time for a consultation. I struggled for most of my life with a poor body image and after many years of trying to change things on my own I finally decided to make an appointment and was forever on a different path. I have amazing proportionate breasts now and my thighs are the thighs of my dreams. Life is truly different when you are content with your body image. That is not to say I was trying to look like someone else or had a false hope; it is about being happy in your own skin. Dr. Shapiro made that possible for me and I cannot thank him enough for his expertise, caring nature, and professionalism. His quality and follow on care are the best you can invest in for your ideal body image. Do something wonderful for yourself and allow him the opportunity to exceed all expectations as he did for me :)
