The Brazilian Butt Lift
I find the term Brazilian Butt Lift to be both titillating and euphemistic. For me it conjures up visions of nubile sun tanned young females clad in scant bikini's cavorting in the Latin sun. To be sure there is considerable historical precedent for regarding the shape of the buttocks as a most sensuous part of the female anatomy, and sometimes the male anatomy. Has anyone failed to note the allure of historical pictures of travel shows to Africa showing minimally clad beautiful African women, or the vision of Latin women conjured up by Girls from Ipanema, or even the then fashionable look of Twiggy.
I first wrote about the contour of the female buttocks about 10 years ago as I was developing liposculpture of the buttocks and I found that women who wanted their buttocks made smaller and/or more shapely were asking for different things depending on their racial preference. The African American female buttocks tends to have a higher rise (the pelvis is tilted anteriorly) and a higher origin with a decided posterior projection (which must be balanced by her breasts); the Hispanic female tends to have a higher rise (the pelvis is tilted anteriorly) with a slightly lower origin and a decided posterior projection (which must be balanced by her breasts); and the Caucasian woman has a still lower origin and little rise (her pelvis tends to be perpendicular to the ground), and is often (in my judgement erroneously) preferred to be relatively flat.
So it is not surprising that with a greater appreciation of ethnic differences and beauty that many women of all races want their buttocks to resemble the Latin or African shape to their buttocks. This accounts for the poplularity of the Brazilian Butt Lift. Essentially, fat is taken from one area, usually the hips, and transferred to the buttocks. My own preference is to transfer about half of the desired fat on the day of surgery and then save an additional half which can be strored frozen or removed anew at a later date and then injected 1-2 months later. The results are usually excellent and patient satisfaction is very high. While there is a dramatic difference in a bikini, I think most women want a better butt line to show off their clothes and their shapely figure. When this is combined with liposculpture of the hips and thighs, the results are very dramatic.
