What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

A Brazilian butt lift in Scottsdale & Phoenix, also called a fat transfer to the buttocks - can produce a pleasing, natural and full rear through a combination of liposuction and fat transfer.

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes between one and three hours to complete.

Fat transfer involves harvesting fat from one area of the body like the abdomen, hips or thighs — and then preparing and injecting it into the buttocks. Fat is collected through very small incisions that are about one-quarter inch in length and well concealed. The fat will be injected in very small amounts to produce a smooth and curved appearance, tighten the skin, and naturally lift sagging and wrinkled tissue.

Beautiful slim woman's body. Perfect slim toned young buttocks of the girl.

Step 1: Anesthesia

Immediately before your procedure, we will administer medications to ensure your comfort and safety. The Brazilian butt lift is done under general anesthesia, which means you will be completely asleep and unable to remember anything from the surgery.

Step 2: Liposuction

During the liposuction phase, Dr. Shapiro will make small incisions in the target area. He will then insert a cannula through the openings, moving it back and forth to break up and suction out the unwanted fat for the procedure. Liposuction for a Brazilian butt lift can be performed anywhere on the body, but it is most often done on the hips, back, thighs and abdomen.

Step 3: Fat injections

The fat that was removed via liposuction will be processed to prepare it for injections. Dr. Shapiro will then transfer the fat to your buttocks through a series of strategically placed injections.
