In the house!
Conventional cosmetic procedures like nose jobs, breast implants and liposuction are wellestablished options at this point, but the latest on the lips of cosmetic surgery patrons is the Brazilian buttock lift. Latest trend reports show significant demand for buttock enhancement with more and more young women going for it every day. The lift makes it possible for you to sport a feminine hourglass shape — made famous by the likes of Jennifer Lopez and her insured behind — which might be difficult to achieve with just exercise.
During the very first consultation with the cosmetic surgeon, patients should be allowed to explore the possibilities of an augmentation of the behind. While silicone implants were the popular option until recently, the Brazilian lift is a far more effective and recent alternative.
This specialised procedure is nothing but an addition to the numerous body contouring procedures already in the market. In this, the fat is removed from other parts of the body and injected in the flatter areas of the lower hip, to give it the shape desired. Fat is considered to be the most naturally available and friendly material for augmentation. Normally, up to 1000 cc of fat is injected on both sides of the buttocks. The procedure is remarkably safe, as the fat from one part of the body is used to create a volume in another, so there is no question of a reaction to foreign substances. Only if the patient is lean do doctors propose an implant to enhance the lift.
Trends also show that more and more patients prefer fat injections to implants for augmentation in any part of the body. With no hospitalisation and overnight stay involved, this contouring procedure is completed within a short span of two hours. The Brazilian lift is known to work on the woman’s whole body, using lipo-sculpture to reshape its contours as a whole.
The reality is that many women are overtly conscious about the shape of their buttocks. Cosmetic surgeons observe an ever-growing demand for ‘circle’ shaped buttocks, as opposed to ‘E’, ‘T’ and ‘A’ shaped ones. Some patients also request for a mixed shape to be created — which results in the posterior looking like an amalgamation of two circles on the inverted letter ‘T.’ It is best to rely on the opinion of the dermatologist on which shape would be feasible for you, according to your body type.
