There are several methods of buttocks augmentation in popular practice. Today, many women are looking into Brazilian Butt Lift surgery.
Stop wondering about a Brazilian butt lift. Dr, Preminger tells you everything you need to know about this popular trend in plastic surgery.
Brazilian Butt Lift
If you have always wanted a voluptuous backside, a Brazilian butt lift may just be the body contouring solution. For some individuals, no amount of targeted exercise can deliver the shapely and firm buttocks admired on celebrities like Jennifer Lopez. Buttock augmentation with a combination of small fat placement and liposuction can increase the size, contour, and overall look of the butt, transforming an otherwise flat derriere into a rounder, more attractive bottom. Enhancement can be achieved through a series of injections of your own excess body fat or with buttock implants.
Centrally located in New York City, Dr. Preminger offers buttock augmentation and the Brazilian butt lift using the latest techniques that are customized for each patient. Men and women request butt lifts for a variety of reasons, from drastic weight loss to simple genetics. A precise fat transfer to the buttocks can lift and add volume, accentuate feminine curves, and elevate the butt into a more youthful position. Healthy individuals with deflated-looking buttocks are generally excellent candidates for a Brazilian butt lift.

Procedure details
Buttock augmentation is performed on an outpatient basis in Dr. Preminger’s state-of-the-art NYC surgical suite. The entire body contouring procedure can take from two to four hours, depending on the amount of fat transfer needed, and the patient’s desired outcome.
The surgery is done using general anesthesia or twilight sedation for optimum comfort. Using tumescent liposuction, the doctor will remove excess fat from the hips, lower back, abdomen and flanks and then transfer it to targeted areas of the buttocks at varying depths to deliver natural-looking results. Lipo-sculpting the love handles and hips has two inherent benefits: eliminating unwanted bulges and providing natural material for a fuller and firmer rear.
During the procedure, Dr. Preminger will inject fat in the upper buttock region, so it appears lifted. The fat transfers are done with very small cannulas, using a micro droplet technique to ensure minimal scarring and fantastic results.
Like any plastic surgery procedure, there are some risks for a Brazilian butt lift using liposuction; these include adverse anesthesia reactions, infection, bleeding and scarring.
Long Lasting Results
It’s estimated that up to 80 percent of the fat transferred during the procedure will survive, meaning your buttock augmentation is permanent. Drastic weight gain or loss after the surgery may affect the fullness of the buttocks, but a healthy diet and regular exercise will help preserve the contours and lifted appearance.
