Brazilian Butt Lift in Mexico by Dr. Manuel Gutierrez Romero

A Brazilian butt lift in Mexico is a procedure designed to reshape and enhance the butt, and is a popular procedure. This procedure consists in collecting fat by liposuction from different areas of your body. The fat is then transferred to the gluteus area with the intention of increasing the volume, improving the shape, and lifting the butt.

We consider and select the ideal candidate that has a Brazilian butt lift. They are patients with fat deposits in different areas of their body that create a deformity.  Whether after pregnancy they deposit fat in areas that normally were not there or they gain weight, and at the same time the volume and shape of their buttocks has changed.

The Concept of Fat Grafting

The idea of fat transferring or “grafting” is based on the following concept:

Grafting is the transfer of live tissue from a donor area (without any form of circulation or blood flow) and placing it on a receptor area.  We expect that the reception area will provide sufficient blood flow for survival. The best donor area of the body is the one that has the highest amount of blood vessels per square millimeter, called “the muscle”. The fat should be successfully transferred to the muscle. The largest of the large muscles in the body is the gluteus, that’s why this kind of transfer is so successful.

The procedure consists of doing liposuction in the areas of the body that aren’t allowing the patient to have a good figure and collecting the fat. Once the fat is separated from the blood and fluid, it is placed in syringes and transferred into the gluteus muscle.  This will increase the volume and give a nice figure to your body. There are some important factors to consider such as what is the best donor area.

There are some areas of our body where the fat is more yellow, more pure, with less fibrous tissue, and easier to extract. These areas are: lower abdomen, inner thighs, outer thighs and hips. Areas like the back and upper body where fat is more compact and has more fibrous tissue, aren’t considered to be as ideal for transferring. Areas of your body that have had liposuction before are not good donor areas. In fact, you will find scarring tissue from the previous surgery, and you cannot extract pure fat.  This will reduce the chances of good survival of the fat.

What is the amount of fat transfer?

Some doctors are able to transfer from 300 to 500 cc of fat, but others can be very aggressive and transfer up to 1000cc. You have to remember that in order for the fat to survive, the fat has to be inside of the muscle.  Patients who are looking to have their butt augmented don’t have a large gluteus muscle to begin with! So the more fat injected, the more the possibility for the fat to be reabsorbed!

Is the fat transfer permanent?

No, the transfer fat is expected to survive up to 50% and the rest of the fat injected will gradually be absorbed within the next 6 to 9 months. If patients want more, they can always come back for more as long as they have a good donor area.

What size do I expect to have?

The concept is “enhancement.”  If a patient wants to accomplish a large volume permanently on their butt, this type of patient is a more ideal for a butt augmentation with butt implants.  Where are the scars placed?  This procedure should be performed with a minimal incision 1/8 of an inch in the external corner of the butt, or on top of the natural crack. They are normally quick to heal. Can I have fat transfer to other areas of my body? As long as the fat is transferred inside of a muscle, the fat will survive.

The Brazilian butt lift was designed to totally reshape your body. It is performed by extracting and collecting from a fat deposit on your body, especially in those areas that don’t let you have a nice figure.  The fat will then be injected into your gluteus muscle to increase the shape, lift and add volume.

I will change your shape, booty and appearance!
