What Is A Brazilian Butt Lift?
A Brazilian butt lift is a form of buttock augmentation that involves using fat grafting. Fat grafting takes excess fat from other parts of the body. The fat will then be purified and injected into the buttocks to increase the size, fullness, and projection of the buttocks. At The Plastic Surgery Clinic of Chicago, a Brazilian butt lift is becoming an increasingly popular plastic surgery procedure.
Though the name might sound amusing, a Brazilian butt lift is a proper technique to restore proportion and balance between the buttock and other parts of the body. It is a trendy procedure that often results in a robust increase in self-image, confidence, and appearance.
The results are natural-looking and youthful, and the procedure is minimally invasive. Dr. Patel is widely considered by his patients as one of the top surgeons to perform a Brazilian butt lift Chicago residents can rely on.
AM I A CANDIDATE FOR A BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT?
To be a good candidate for a Brazilian butt lift, you must have donor sites for excess fat. These sites can be the thighs or abdomen.
A benefit of a Brazilian butt lift, as opposed to buttock implants, is that this procedure does not involve inserting any foreign substances. It uses fat from your own body. If you have any known allergies to implant materials and desire a fuller, rounder buttock, you may be an ideal candidate for a Brazilian butt lift.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR CONSULTATION
Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience and knowledge is always essential in any plastic surgery procedure. When you schedule a consultation with the Plastic Surgery Clinic of Chicago, you will meet with Dr. Parit Patel.
He is a board-certified plastic surgeon who has performed hundreds of fat-grafting augmentation procedures successfully and safely. His expertise enables him to offer one of the best Chicago Brazilian butt lift surgeries that local residents can depend on.
Your consultation will involve reviewing every step of the process, all the way through recovery. Dr. Patel will review your medical history to determine your eligibility for the procedure.
Be sure to use this opportunity to ask questions, including cost and potential risks associated with buttock augmentation and fat transfer.
HOW IS A BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT PERFORMED?
First, you and Dr. Patel will determine the donor site from which excess fat will be removed. After administering a general anesthetic, Dr. Patel will make a small incision in the donor area and carefully extract fat cells using a cannula and syringe.
If necessary, the extracted fat will be processed using a centrifuge or other filtration technique to isolate the fat cells. The fat cells are then transferred to smaller cannulas and prepared to be injected into the buttocks.
We will repeat the injection process until you achieve your desired results. The newly grafted fat is sometimes massaged into the designated area to create full, natural contours. Finally, a bandage is placed over the grafted area.
It may be necessary to undergo multiple fat grafting sessions to achieve the desired results since the body will absorb some of the injected fat. On average, patients retain between sixty and eighty percent of transferred fat.
RECOVERY AFTER A BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT
The only incisions resulting from a Brazilian butt lift are located at the donor sites and injection sites. These incisions are typically very small and produce minimal scarring. If possible, Dr. Patel will attempt to conceal the incisions in the natural creases and contours of the body.
Swelling and bruising should go down significantly between the first and second week after the procedure. Be prepared to wait at least seven to ten days before returning to your normal activity level.
The swelling should subside in the third week, and more results should be seen. The results will continue to improve for up to a year, and as long as there are no major fluctuations in weight, they are long-lasting.
BENEFITS OF A BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT
The Brazilian butt lift procedure offers benefits such as natural results, body contouring, minimal scarring, and long-lasting results.
Unlike implants, BBL surgery uses your body’s fat, creating a more natural appearance and texture. The procedure includes liposuction to harvest fat from areas like your abdomen, thighs, or hips, resulting in a slimmer, more sculpted figure.
Since the procedure relies on small incisions for fat transfer, scarring is minimal compared to other surgical methods. With proper care and stable weight, the results of your Brazilian butt lift surgery can last for years.
Many patients also appreciate the dual benefit of removing unwanted fat from one area and enhancing another, creating a harmonious balance.
POTENTIAL RISKS OF A BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT
Complications from a Brazilian butt lift are very infrequent, but there are associated risks with any surgical procedure, even those that are minimally invasive. Potential risks associated with a Brazilian butt lift may include:
• Changes in skin sensation
• Infection
• Hematoma (blood clot)
• Scarring
• Asymmetry
At the Plastic Surgery Clinic of Chicago, we take every precaution possible to minimize risk by using only the safest and most innovative techniques. You can also mitigate risk by adhering strictly to any instructions Dr. Patel may give you before and after your procedure.
HOW MUCH DOES A BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT COST IN CHICAGO?
The average cost of buttock augmentation in the United States is around $4,500, but this figure varies widely depending on the type of augmentation you choose, the extent of the procedure, and your geographic location.
We will discuss the associated cost of your specific procedure during your consultation. A Brazilian butt lift is considered a cosmetic procedure and therefore is usually not covered by medical insurance.

This is a 3 month follow-up for an otoplasty or ear pinning procedure. The patient was bothered by how far his ears projected forward and how his ears were a major focus of his appearance. In the post-operative photos, the ears have been re-positioned in a more aesthetic and natural way. The patient’s facial features now become the focal point of his appearance and not the ears. A relatively simple yet powerful procedure. Posted with permission.

This is a 2 year follow-up revision rhinoplasty case. The patient had had 2 prior rhinoplasties in the past and was bothered by the nasal deviation, the dorsal hump, and the under-rotated and under-projected tip. In the post-operative views, you can see the nose is straighter, symmetric dorsal aesthetic lines have been established, the dorsal hump was removed, and the tip was elevated and rotated. It’s amazing how a more symmetric and proportional nose improves the balance and overall aesthetics of the face. Posted with permission.

This is a great example of how buccal fat removal changes the face. Buccal fat removal involves removing fat from the lower cheeks and the purpose is to narrow the lower 1/3 of the face. With removal of the buccal fat pad, the face appears less round and more angular or V-shaped. Buccal fat removal was popularized and trending during the pandemic, however, not everyone is a good candidate for this procedure. Ideal candidates are younger patients in their 20-30’s with a rounder face, and excess volume of the lower cheeks. As we age, the face loses volume and therefore patients in their 40’s plus may not be good candidates. An article in our journal from 2021, The Role of Buccal Fat Pad in Facial Aesthetic Surgery, by Drs. Rohrich and Stuzin, highlighted that this procedure can be beneficial in certain patients but if over resected or performed in the wrong patient, can lead to premature aging and midface distortion.

In facial feminization surgery, a common question we get is how do we contour the forehead and orbital rim. There are two main techniques that craniofacial surgeons utilize. A type 1 technique is where we use a burr or shaving device to shave and contour the bone to set it back or make it less prominent. To be a good candidate for this technique, one would have to have thick bone, a smaller frontal sinus, and less frontal bossing. A type 3 technique is where we use a saw to cut off the outer part of the frontal sinus bone, shave down the forehead and then replace the bone with titanium plates and screws. Good candidates for this procedure are patients with thin bone of the frontal sinus, a large frontal sinus and significant frontal bossing. We determine which technique would best achieve a patient’s goals through a clinical exam and a CT scan. Posted with permission. Videos are educational.
