Brazilian Butt Lift

Westlake Village and Oxnard

It is now possible to enhance the gluteal or buttock region without the use of implants with a safe and effective procedure. The Brazilan Butt Lift, or Autologous Gluteal Augmentation, uses fat removed from “unwanted” sites such as the abdomen, love handles, thighs, hips and backs, to enhance the shape of the buttocks. The results from the Brazilian Butt Lift are often aesthetically impressive, resulting not only in shapelier buttocks, but also in flatter stomachs, smaller waist lines and more shapely backs and thighs. All this with minimal scars and down time!

The Best Candidates for Brazilian Butt Lift in Ventura County

Anyone who is overall healthy, who wants to improve the appearance of their buttocks, trunks and lower bodies are excellent candidates for the Brazilian Butt Lift. Some amount of body fat must be present in the abdomen, backs or thighs, as these are the common “donor” sites. Very thin patients with minimal body fat may be candidates for gluteal augmentation with implants instead, or may be advised by their plastic surgeon to gain 10-15 pounds before surgery.

The Surgery

The Brazilian Butt Lift is performed under general anesthesia. Fat is removed by liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, back or thighs. The fat is then specially processed and reinjected into the buttocks.

After the Brazilian Butt Lift, special garments are required and will be discussed by Dr. Gorodisky.

Getting Back to Normal

You will be instructed not to sit or lay over your buttocks for two to three weeks after surgery, as pressure can kill or displace the newly transferred fat. It is ok, however, to sit on the back of your thighs, and to lay on your sides or belly. Expect to be sore everywhere fat was harvested from and over the buttock areas for a few weeks. Exercise and return to normal activity can be anticipated after about two weeks. Swelling may last from a few weeks to a few months.

Your New Look

Be ready for compliments! You will love your new shapely buttocks and mid-section!

What is VASER Liposelection?

Large or small stubborn fat deposits on the neck, abdomen, waist, back, thighs, and arms can be removed during an outpatient procedure. Removed fat may be used for contour enhancement and additional body sculpting by reinjection in areas such as the face or buttocks.

First, the area to be treated is injected with special saline solution that helps numb the site and reduce bruising. Then a small probe is inserted to apply sound energy to liquify fatty tissue while leaving other important tissues largely intact. Finally, the liquefied fat is removed through a gentle suction process designed to minimize damage to surrounding tissues.

A safe and effective tool, VASER LipoSelection selectively targets fat cells and causes less damage to the surrounding nerves and blood vessels compared to traditional liposuction. VASER LipoSelection patients report tighter skin, a faster recovery, and minimal pain and bruising.

Ideal candidates for the procedure are patients who have excess fat deposits in localized areas and who are not obese. The fat removed is gone forever and does not go to other areas of the body. Additional weight gain after the procedure, however, may reverse the benefits. Best results are seen in those with firm and elastic skin. If your skin is loose and there are excess skin folds, the best procedure may be another type of body contouring procedure such as a tummy tuck or body lift in combination with VASER LipoSelection. Removing fat is not a substitute for weight loss. A healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise will improve the outcome and longevity of this procedure.
