What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
A Brazilian butt lift is designed to improve the size and shape of a patient’s buttocks so that it fits better to the persons figure and offers an attractive, prominent rear end.
The Brazilian butt lift procedure is performed by extracting fat from regions of the body such as the back, abdomen, hips, and thighs through liposuction. The fat cells are cleansed and then the best tissue is utilized for injection into the buttocks at different depths for a natural look and feel. The end result is a rounder, fuller rear end.
