Brazilian Butt Lift Los Angeles

In some situations, the size you want your buttocks to be simply isn’t obtainable due to genetics, regardless of the number of squats you do. In these circumstances, a gluteoplasty can assist you in obtaining a more proportional and sensual body shape. Plastic surgeon doctor Raman Mehrzad performs butt augmentation, also known as gluteoplasty, using autologous fat transfer to volumize the look of your rear end by increasing the curves. This procedure, often referred to as a Brazilian butt lift, uses your own natural fatty tissue, such as from your hips or abdomen, and transfers it to your buttocks to restore contour. Men and women today wish for the sexy appearance of a larger bottom, and Ocean Plastic Surgery Center in Los Alamitos, CA is excited to provide butt augmentation surgery. If you dream of a more voluptuous backside, Dr. Raman Mehrzad can build a unique treatment plan that will help you meet your goals. Call our practice to find out more about gluteoplasty.

Patient success stories and transformations

Ideal candidates for a brazilian butt lift

Ideal candidates have lost shape and volume in their buttocks or have concerns with their buttocks appearing flat, saggy, asymmetrical, or disproportional. You also must have enough donor fat to transfer. During your consultation, Dr. Mehrzad will gauge how much fat he can harvest via liposuction to then use for your fat transfer. Unfortunately, very thin patients with low body fat are not great candidates, as they do not have enough body fat to use. Individuals all around Los Alamitos, CA regularly consult with Dr. Mehrzad to gain more information about gluteoplasty. Ideal butt augmentation candidates typically:

What to expect from a brazilian butt lift

After your surgery, it is normal to feel minor pain and experience bruising and/or swelling for several days. Depending on how much fat is transferred into your buttocks, Dr. Mehrzad will tell you how long you should avoid sitting for long periods of time or sleeping on your back. For most patients, this lasts at least two weeks. You will also need to wear a special compression garment that is modified for your specific sculpted areas. You are typically able to return to daily activities after a few weeks, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least six weeks. Dr. Mehrzad is experienced in the use of fat grafting for a fuller backside so patients are usually thrilled to find that their scars are extremely faint. As the incisions are very small and made discreetly in the natural crease of the gluteus, you will feel even more confidence in your bikinis knowing that your scars are not noticeable. To preserve results, you should maintain a stable weight through healthy diet and exercise.

Frequently asked questions for a brazilian butt lift

Your cost for butt augmentation surgery will vary, depending on several aspects. In your consultation, a personalized surgical plan will be made to match your goals and budget. Ocean Plastic Surgery Center takes several payment methods, including low-interest financing, to help your surgery be easier to afford.

It is important to note that not all of the transferred fat will establish a blood supply and survive. However, all of the fat that survives is firmly reestablished in the new areas. There is a limit to how much fat can be safely injected into one area. It cannot be overdone in the hopes that there is a higher fat-survival rate. The amount of fat that remains over time varies from patient to patient. Usually, we can expect about 70% of the fat to stay in the area, and the other 30% will likely be absorbed back into the body. It is sometimes necessary to repeat the fat grafting procedure several times to achieve the desired result, especially for those seeking a dramatic projection.

Significant weight gain or loss is likely to alter the appearance of your butt augmentation surgery. Because living fat tissue is transferred, it will grow or shrink according to weight gain or loss, but the fat cells always remain. Also, the fat cells are usually taken from areas that are more resistant to diet and exercise (like the abdomen, hips, and thighs). Therefore, it is very common for the gained weight to go to your butt. Dr. Mehrzad suggests you follow a balanced diet and exercise regularly to preserve the outcomes of your butt augmentation surgery.

In the first few weeks after your augmentation, you might feel mild to moderate discomfort while you heal. You should avoid prolonged sitting, sleeping on your back, and strenuous activity until you have approval from Dr. Mehrzad. In addition, you need to schedule follow-up visits during your recovery so that he can examine your buttocks to check that you are healing correctly.

A mastopexy will provide great, long-lasting results; however, your results can diminish due to aging and other life changes. To answer this question, you have to consider how your breasts have changed over time and why. Weight gain adds a lot of excess tissue to the breasts, and if this weight is lost, it’s possible that there will be sagging. Pregnancy also makes a big impact on breast tissue. A breast lift is a permanent procedure. However, even though your results will be long-lasting, no surgery is able to stop the aging process. Breasts will change over time purely from the effects of gravity.

A Brazilian butt lift is a type of butt augmentation. Some butt augmentation procedures use silicone implants to add volume while a BBL (Brazilian butt lift) uses fat transferred from a different area of the body to the butt. Good candidates for a BBL need to have enough excess fat to reach their goals. Dr. Mehrzad only uses the fat transfer (BBL) technique because it gives the most natural-looking results to areas with loss of volume and can even out fat distribution and fill deep dents.
