Brazilian Butt Lift
What Is A Brazilian Butt Lift?
The Brazilian butt lift (BBL) has quickly become one of the most highly requested cosmetic surgeries among men and women in the U.S. This body contouring surgery offers individuals a natural way to achieve a shapelier, more defined rear end without having to use implants. There are many factors that may play a role in the shape of your buttocks, including weight change, aging, gravity, or genetics. Whatever the reason, a "deflated" or unshapely rear can impact your self-esteem and confidence in certain clothes. Using your own fat, the Brazilian butt lift adds volume to the buttocks to create a rounder look. The effect is achieved through a careful and precise fat transfer process, which utilizes liposuction to remove fat from one place of your body and then relocates it into your backside. Using an artistic eye and years of experience, board-eligible plastic surgeon Dr. Jose Rodriguez has helped numerous patients in San Diego, CA realize the shapelier figure they've always wanted with Brazilian butt lifts and other aesthetic procedures.

How Does A Brazilian Butt Lift Work?
Fat transfer surgery is performed at our facility in San Diego, CA using general anesthesia. Depending on the quantity of fat being transferred, you can expect the procedure to take roughly 2 – 3 hours. To start, Dr. Rodriguez will use liposuction to extract fat from specific areas around the body, including the thighs, flanks, and lower back. This process of fat removal is performed with the highest care and safety in mind. The extracted fat is protected from the air since it is purified in a closed centrifuge system. Once that process is complete, viable fat tissue is separated and put into syringes. The final step is the injection process where the healthy fat tissue is reinstated layer by layer, followed by a gentle massage to make sure the surface is even and smooth. This process is repeated numerous times until the desired fullness has been achieved.
