We do a lot of brazilian butt lifts. The brazilian butt lift augments and enhances your buttocks using fat from unwanted areas of your body. The procedure is a total body resculpting of your abdomen, flanks, and buttocks. The question I often get asked is “Doctor will I lose the effect of the brazilian butt lift if I lose weight after the surgery?”
The answer is: If the fat is processed and grafted correctly-you will not lose the effects.
To illustrate the point, I went back and looked at the photos of one of my patients who had the brazilian butt lift surgery, lost approximately 10% of her body weight after the post op period, and then gained all of the weight back at the end of the one year period.
In the video below , her pre-op is on the left. Eight months following the surgery, in the photo on the right, she lost a little over 10 pounds. You can see that her buttocks are still prominent ,and her new curves show off very nicely. Watch the video to see all of the details.
Even with her weight loss, her buttocks are prominent and she maintains the buttocks ’shelf’. If the procedure is done correctly, your new curves should stay with you. Properly processed fat will engraft and take. You will have a new body shape. Weight fluctuations after the brazilian butt lift will take the shape of your new body shape. If you gain or lose weight you will not go back to your curveless body figure. The wonder of fat grafting is that it can truly change your body proportions. Any weight gain or loss should correspond with the new figure.
Below is the summary of the patient’s history : Pre-op, 8 months post-op with 10% weight loss, and 1 year post op with full weight gain back to original weight:
Note: This video is part of my ‘Stem Cell Series’ as properly processed fat will contain a population of your own naturally occurring adult stem cells. These stem cells enable your fat graft to survive and ‘take’ as the stem cells help to build blood supply to the fat graft. Stem cells from your own autologous adipose fat is Plastic Surgery’s New Frontier. Stay tuned for more!

Hypnosis:
Excercise and correct diet could never in a million years accomplish the changes in body contour that fat transfer accomplishes routinely.
Excercise and diet are great things, and they will make you lose weight, and improve your health. But they cannot change the way your body stores fat. You need surgery for that.

Well it is possible but not very easy to do. Takes much more time. Best way are exercises together with correct diet.

In theory, yes, we can inject fat into somebody who has had prior injections.
A lot depends on precisely what was injected, what the patient expects, how much fat she has, etc.
If you are interested to set up a consultation, contact Kelly at kelly@cosmeticsurg.net. Tambien podemos hacer la consulta en español si así lo desea.
We are looking forward to hearing from you!

I have seen a lot of butts in my life and believe me, you cannot imagine what the worst butt ever is, because I have seen it and its not yours!
To really know if you are a candidate, I would have to see your pictures, but my guess is yes. How can I be so confident? Because body contouring does not eliminate fat, it just changes how the body distributes it.
You probably have some fat to work with, and I would love to help you out. As a matter of fact, patients who already have had a tummy tuck do particularly well because I can really contour the waist to create a nice curve as it goes into the buttock.
Give us a call!
