Brazilian Butt Lift

If you find yourself genetically predisposed to a flat backside, you may be a candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift. Other characteristics of a good Brazilian Butt Lift candidate in Atlanta, GA are individuals interested in:

• Correcting cellulite appearance
• Creating a voluptuous silhouette
• Improving the size and shape of buttocks
• Healthy individuals without medical conditions that impair healing or increase the risk of surgery
• Maintaining realistic goals and reasonable expectations
• Patients with a BMI of less than 35 but enough fat that the procedure will show an observable outcome
• Possessing excess, unwanted fat in other areas of their body that can be used as filler
• Willing to practice proper diet and exercise to keep their new shapely appearance

Many of our patients who have received a Brazilian Butt Lift in Atlanta have been able to experience the following benefits from a BBL:

• A natural look and feel
• Better clothing fit
• Improved body balance
• Fast and Long-lasting results
• Less visible cellulite
• Less chance of infection as no foreign implants

The procedure will be performed as an outpatient in an accredited surgery center with a board-certified anesthesiologist in the safest conditions possible. The surgery will be performed under general anesthesia. Pre-operative markings will typically be made on the morning of surgery.

 After you are under the effect of the anesthesia, Dr. Arslanian will start by making his sub-centimeter incisions for the liposuction cannulas. SAFE liposuction will then be performed to harvest the fat. The fat will then be processed while Dr. Arslanian continues to contour and sculpt the waist and buttock region. Once that is complete, Dr. Arslanian will then prepare the fat and begin injecting it into the buttocks and surrounding areas in order to achieve the appropriate size and shape you are looking for. You will then be placed into a compression garment awakened from general anesthesia and transferred to the recovery room.

You will go home the same day of surgery and rest. You will need to modify your sleeping and sitting positioning. You will not be able to sit directly on the fat-grafted area for four to six weeks, although this will vary depending on your individual procedure. Patients will typically need a special donut pillow to sit down in a chair without putting pressure directly on the buttock. You will need to wear your compression garment for six weeks to minimize bruising and swelling. You will then transition over to a less compressive garment like “Spanx” for another 6 weeks. You can begin resuming normal activities after two to three weeks and should be fully recovered by about 6 weeks.

Brazilian butt lift patients can expect most of the swelling to be resolved by 3 months, but 10-15% of the swelling can persist for 6 or even 12 months. Fat graft retention can be somewhat variable, but on average 60% of the fat will survive. For this reason, Dr. Arslania will typically “over-graft” to compensate for some of the fat loss over the next several months. In some patients, a touch-up procedure may need to be performed to harvest more fat and add it to the buttock to achieve the desired size.
