What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
A Brazilian butt lift is a type of cosmetic surgery used to enhance the appearance of the buttocks. In this procedure, fat is transferred from other areas of the body to the buttocks, giving them a more rounded, lifted appearance. The surgery is popular among people who are unhappy with the shape of their buttocks and correct functional problems such as flatness or asymmetry.
If you are considering a Brazilian butt lift, consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience performing this procedure is essential. During your consultation, you can discuss your goals and expectations for the surgery and learn more about the risks and potential complications.
Why Do People Want a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Some people want a Brazilian butt lift because:
- They feel that their buttocks are too small or flat
