Turn Unwanted Fat into an Asset:
The Brazilian Butt Lift
By Robert A. Clinton, M.D.
Have you ever marveled at how some of today's celebrities have managed to achieve tiny waistlines and voluptuous behinds? Ever wished you could have a larger derriere without adding love handles? For most women, no amount of dieting and exercise can produce the coveted curves of a J.Lo or Kim Kardashian. Now there is a minimally-invasive solution that can achieve amazing results with very little downtime: The Brazilian Butt Lift!
In our office in North Carolina, we have perfected the art of shaping the body's natural curves to attain the desired look. We accomplish these results by combining SmartLipo, our most popular procedure; with the procedure the American Society of Plastic Surgeons has named the fastest growing cosmetic procedure in America, the Brazilian Butt Lift. A typical Brazilian Butt Lift involves harvesting fat from the abdomen, hips, back or thighs and re-injecting it to enhance the size and shapeliness of the backside.
In a Brazilian Butt Lift procedure, the fat cells are delicately removed with a gentle liposuction technique, and then strategically inserted through small circular incisions (about the size of pencil lead) into different layers of the buttocks for a smooth and natural result. This method has much fewer side effects, discomfort, risks and complications than buttock implants. With fat transplantation, there is no chance of the body rejecting the fat cells since the fat is from your own body. The cells are sensitive and require careful and meticulous handling by an experienced physician - the less they are handled, the greater chance of survival. While everyone loses a percentage of the volume in the first few months following the augmentation, we try to overcorrect slightly to compensate for this. The fat that remains is yours for life! If you still want a little more, the process can be repeated in six months to a year.
Brazilian Butt Lifts and SmartLipo are usually performed under local tumescent anesthesia, posing minimal risks. After the procedure, patients may be sore for a few days, yet recovery time is relatively fast and patients can return to work after a couple of days. By combining SmartLipo and the Brazilian Butt Lift into a single procedure, patients can smooth troubled body parts while enhancing the curves of another.
Patients say their clothes fit better, they feel sexier and their confidence levels are greatly improved with a shapelier waist and fuller derriere. What more would a woman want?!?
Who says ALL fat is bad? It may be your most coveted asset. Use it baby!
