• Brazilian butt lift with Body jet technique

    Posted on August 23rd, 2011 admin No comments

    Since I practice in the very body conscious environment of Marbella, where beauty is a must and my patients spent most of their time on the beach, buttock augmentation and lift is a frequent request of my patients.

    There are two methods to augment the buttocks : inserting an implant or transplanting your own fat.
    “Brazilian butt lift” is the most common term for fat transfer buttock augmentation.

    Brazilian buttlift does not really come from Brazil, as many people think, but rather from the United States, so the term “Brazilian butt lift” is somewhat misleading.
    The Brazilian butt lift creates a curvy and attractive shape of the buttock as popular in Brazil, hence the name, at least I presume so.

    The Brazilian butt lift works with fat transfer for buttock reshaping.
    There is no foreign body involved, we use the patient’s own fat.

    This is especially important on the buttocks, since foreign bodies such as implants tend to create a lot of problems here.

    In the vast majority of Brazilian butt lift surgeries, we take this fat from the flanks, thighs and abdomen, which indirectly also makes the but curvier an more attractive.
    In Braziliian butt lift surgery, this effect is called „accentuation“ .
    I believe that this accentuation is a very important contribution to the overall result in Brazilian butt lift surgery.

    Brazilian butt lift surgery has been made much more attractive both for surgeons and patients with the Jet assited fat harvest technique.
    This technique enables harvest of high quality fat grafts within reasonable time and with excellent take rates.
    This makes the operation not only less invasive and faster, but also more cost effective for patients.

    If needed, a large volume fat graft can be harvested and simultaneously filtered in the Lipocollector system.
    The fat harvested in this way contains the highest percentage of viable fat cells, which are the best ones for transfer.
    The quantity of good quality viable cells harvested in this manner is much higher than with other fat grafting technqiues (Based on centrifugation and/or stem cell enrichment.

    The results are excellent, and we have downgraded an operation which used to take around 5 hours to 1,5 hours under local anesthetic.

    We have observed a marked increase in requests for this kind of surgery in the last years, and it seems that the Brazilian butt lift is becoming a strong trend in cosmetic surgery in Europe.

    For me as a surgeon, the new fat transfer technique with jet assisted liposuction has made this a much more enjoyable procedure, since the fat harvest is much more straightforward.
