Preaparation and recovery for a Brazilian butt lift surgery

Preparation:

Before the surgery can take place, Dr. Jugenburg will have to examine you to ensure that you are an ideal candidate for this surgery. You will be examined to ensure that you have sufficient useable fat. Pictures will be taken (no need to worry, your face or other identifying features are not included). If necessary, you will be sent for further medical tests and examination. Your safety is our priority and we make sure we take all the necessary steps to ensure your experience is easy and safe. When your surgery is scheduled at the Hospital, the hospital protocol requires that you are screened by the hospital nurses. You will need to make an appointment with the pre-admission clinic. Nurses will perform a basic examination (heart rate, blood pressure, blood tests if required) and go through a detailed health questionnaire. You may also meet with the anesthesia doctor if Dr. Jugenburg feels that the Anesthetist may need to make special preparations for you.
Health questionnaire and physical examination, in addition to bloodwork (if required) must be completed at least one week prior to surgery. This is to ensure that the surgery can be performed in a safe manner.

Recovery

After the Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery, you will be asked to avoid any direct pressure on your butt for two weeks. For two weeks you should not sit on your butt. You should sleep on your stomach. You can sit down for short periods of time if needed. When you do, please make sure you sit on a very very soft pillow. It is important that the fat cells that have been transferred to your butt are treated extremely gently. They have been traumatized during the liposuction and injection. They are very fragile. And they must be allowed to survive until your body establishes blood vessels in the new areas of fat. It is essential that blood flow is established to bring in nutrients, oxygen to these fat cells.

Who is a good candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift

Although the procedure is called Brazilian Butt Lift, what makes it great is that in addition to sculpting the buttocks, in this procedure the love handles are reshaped and create a nice curve between the butt and the waist.

The most important thing in this procedure is not to get the “biggest butt”, but to create the best looking waist-hips-butt area. When patients bring in pictures of what they want to look like, invariably the models shown have small waists and a curvy transition between the lower back and butt. The butt doesn’t have to be that large as long as that transition area has a nice looking curve. The increased contrast between the lower back and the buttock itself, as well as the curvy transition between them, enhance the appearance of the buttock.
If you then augment the buttock with fat taken from the love handles area, the results can be spectacular.

Criteria for an idela candidate:

To be an ideal candidate you need to be able to fit certain criteria
- You must be in good health
- Your expectations must be realistic. For a very large increase in butt volume you may need more than one treatments
- You must have enough useable fat. Most patients over-estimate the amount of fat that can be used. You need to remember that we cannot take all the existing fat and transfer it to your butt. Some fat needs to stay behind to ensure that the area from which the fat was taken does not look deformed. Patients often point to specific areas of fat deposits and ask for all of it to be taken away. In such a case image if an ice-cream scoop being used and removing ALL the fat. Can you picture the scooped out hole that would be left? For that reason some fat always has to be left behind.

Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery

What is the brazilian butt lift?


Over the last few years the buttocks and abdomen have received more press coverage than ever before.The brazilian butt lift is not just about big butts!. The brazilian butt lift is a type of butt augmentation procedure which results in a youthful, prominent, perky buttocks and a more sensual body profile.

People of all ages are having the butt lift procedure,   In this procedure the surgeon removes fat from selected areas of your body, purifies the fat, then reinjects selected donor fat cells into your buttocks. The process of fat reinjection involves scores or hundreds of injections. The procedure is designed to fill the upper quadrant of your buttocks so that the butt appears lifted and perky. The resulting effect is that the woman appears more attractive and sensuous.

There are two different ways to enlarge your buttocks:
- Brazilian Butt Lift: Fat injections or fat transfer to the butt
- Butt Implants: Insertion of silicone implants

Patients typically ask for a Brazilian butt lift because they feel their backside isn't round enough or it is too flat. The butt lift procedure is done by a cosmetic surgeon or board certified plastic surgeon who removes excess fat from another part of the body and places it in the buttocks to create the appearance of a more shapely back end

the butt implants is recomended for patient's who don't have sufficient adipose (fat) volume in other areas to use for buttock augmentation, the buttocks can be augmented using silicone implants.

If you have enough donor fat, surgeons prefer to augment the butt using fat injections-the brazilian butt lift. They believe that this method results in the most natural and sensual look for the buttock area. They only recommend butt implants if you are very tiny with no fat in your stomach or flank area. The fat transfer method has a lower risk of infection compared to the butt implant procedure.

An additional benefit of this fat injection method is that you not only get a more shapely buttock, but the area liposuctioned is now much leaner, giving your profile a more sensuous look. It is recomended the brazilian butt lift, as the combination of liposuction and fat injections produces the most attractive and natural profile.

Butt Implants: Styles and Sizes

Each style and size of butt implants has varying dimensions, and hence, different volumes. Again, the selection of the proper style and size buttock implant depends on the desired need, and "look" your surgeon feels is appropriate to achieve the best, most natural appearance.

Gluteal Implants, commonly referred to by consumers as buttock or butt implants, are primarily used for augmentation surgery (enlargement of the buttock region) and occasionally for reconstruction or treatment of asymmetry. The contents of this page will explain to you the general issues and concepts of implants and their use in buttock augmentation.

Gluteal (buttock) implants, are frequently placed beneath the fascia, or what is termed subfascially—beneath the fibrous lining that encases the buttock muscles. The fascia is commonly looked upon as an encasement for the muscle structure, offering lubrication and protection for the muscle fibers as they expand and contract. The implants may also be placed in the intra-muscular plane (within the muscle such as the gluteus maximus). The intra-muscular plane of insertion is commonly used when the patient is thin and has little body fat. Both implantation sites are well tolerated by the body.

Generally, buttock implants are available in 4 styles. The most common design is Style 3, a round, non-directional implant. These implants can be used in both accepted planes of insertion and provides uniform increased projection including upper pole fullness. Non-directional implants virtually eliminate the issue of implant rotation (movement or shifting). Directional implants such as Style 1 and 2, refers to the general shape of the implant, requiring a specific orientation and placement, as they are not dimensionally the same in all directions. Style1 and Style 2 provide an exceptional result when used in the sub-fascial plane to achieve a pre-cast desired symmetry, based on the artistic and aesthetic abilities of your surgeon in achieving the "look" they feel is best for your body style. Style 4, is a custom buttock implant with mirrored (left and right) sides. Your surgeon, before placement, can manually craft all soft-solid implants.

Over the past 4 years, gluteal implants have undergone significant improvements. Previously, implants used in other body areas were used as gluteal implants. Some implants were far too hard and were palpable (could be felt through the skin by others). Also, for example, breast implants were frequently used with unfortunate results. Breast implants, being gel or liquid filled, often ruptured and deflated at alarming rates. Most current implants are made out of "implant grade", soft-solid silicones and the hardness more closely matches the tissue they replace or augment. This provides a more stable implant and offers the natural feel one desires. Soft-solid implants, unlike breast implants, do not rupture and deflate.

Each Style and size of butt implant has varying dimensions, and hence, different volumes. Again, the selection of the proper style and size buttock implant depends on the desired need, and "look" your surgeon feels is appropriate to achieve the best, most natural appearance.

Custom buttock implants, unique to the individual, are also available and some surgeons, with vast experience in the implant procedure, use these buttock implants modifying them as necessary with surgical instruments such as a scalpel or scissors.
