Some women have concerns about the concept of inserting implants into their buttocks in order to increase the size and shape. In many cases, these women tend to be hesitant about the look and feel of implants, or they could just be against the idea of having to tell someone their butt is not real. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kenneth Hughes offer a more natural alternative to the usual techniques with a fat grafting procedure known as the Brazilian butt lift.
Fat grafting is a relatively new technique that many doctors lack experience in. The procedure is accomplished by first harvesting fat from areas of the body where excess fat is plentiful and unwanted, like the thighs, lower back or abdomen.
Once the fat is suctioned out with liposuction, it is purified to find the best-quality fat cells and is then injected into the buttocks using a specialized syringe.
This procedure offers several benefits that traditional surgeries do not, including more comprehensive body-contouring results.
