Sculptra’s 15-Minute Butt Lift: Alternative to A Traditional Brazilian Butt Lift7 min read
Phillip Chang
The Brazilian Butt Lift has become an increasingly popular procedure performed in the United States. It is a procedure popularized by celebrities like Kim Kardashian to increase the size of their back-sides by transferring fat from their body to their butts. Sculptra is a cosmetic filler used to make a face look more youthful by adding volume; it i, however, a relatively unknown option to increase the size and lift the butt in an otherwise thin women who don’t have enough fat to offer.
Attention to the breast and breast enhancement has generally captured the imagination of western and asian cultures. Larger and uplifted breasts are seen as more voluptuous and sensual; and add the the hourglass curves of the female figure. Until recently, most people outside of Latin cultures ignored the bottom curves of the hourglass. With the increase in popularity of the brazilian butt lift, patients can now increase the size of their breast and butt… the T and A are now in harmony.
What Is A Brazilian Butt Lift?
The brazilian butt lift is to the back-side as breast augmentation is to the front side. The brazilian butt lift has been an extremely popular procedure outside of the Unites States for years as a procedure that could enhance the volume and appearance of the buttock by transferring fat from the body to a person’s flat or sagging butt.
The procedure has become increasing popular in the United States as some celebrities have directed more and more attention to their own back-sides. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Tyra Banks, and Jennifer Lopez have turned on their thousands of follower’s to the beauty of a beautiful and curvy butt.
Why Need Liposuction?
The brazilian butt lift is performed by first getting fat from anywhere around the body that fat is available. This is performed by performing liposuction. In general, we need to take about 3x more fat than we want to transfer to the butt; some fat will be lost, some fat will not survive the transfer. Popular areas to take the fat include the waist, abdomen, and thighs. Because the brazilian butt lift requires the liposculpting, it inherently gives a woman a more ideal hourglass figure.
