Who is a good candidate for a Traditional Butt Lift vs a Brazilian Butt Lift?

 

Patients who are good candidates for Brazilian Butt Lift (Fat grafting and Liposuction only) include those who have flattened, hollowed out buttocks with poor shape but do not have significant excess skin along the waistline and upper buttocks that must be excised.

 

Good candidates for a Traditional Butt Lift are those who have a significant amount of loose skin along the waistline above the buttocks in addition to a flattened, hollowed out buttocks. A Traditional Buttock Lift is often paired with fat transfer (aka Brazilian Butt Lift) as well as a Tummy Tuck. When a Tummy Tuck and Buttock Lift are done together, this is known as an Extended Tummy Tuck. Excess skin will be removed, which will help lift the buttocks, and further shaping can be done with Fat Grafting and Liposuction techniques similar to a Brazilian Butt Lift if the patient desires more volume.

What results can a patient expect from a Buttock Lift?

 

Patients can expect to have significant improvement in the contour and shape of their buttocks following either procedure. If skin resection is necessary, there will be a scar along the waistline.
