Brazilian butt lift with Body jet technique

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.

Should you require some more extensive information on this procedure, either in the Department of Plastic Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery at Hospital Quiron Malaga or in Cirumed Clinic Marbella please contact us.

Natural fat transfer breast augmentation-the Body Jet technique

For years, women have dreamt of having their breasts augmented using their own fat. The idea is to get rid of unwanted fat deposits and naturally augment breasts in the same session.

Prior attempts at autologous fat transfer to the breast have not proven to be constantly successful .
They were successful in some cases , but no so in others, in summary the results were very unpredictable.

New techniques in Natural Breast Augmentation employ the latest technologic advances in fat harvesting.
The principle of these techniques is that they “wash and filter” fat instead of “centrifugation”.

“Wash and filter “techniques are much better to handle and our current scientific data suggests that they also give superior results in fat transfer breast augmentation.
We believe that the less the fat is manipulated the higher the survival, provided of course that the harvesting process is gently enough to keep fat cells alive.

The Body Jet technology (also known as “Aqua-Lipo”) in the U.S. is currently the best option for “wash and filter techniques.
It has been extensively “road tested” and scientific data gained is impressive.

Since Body Jet natural fat transfer breast augmentation does also eliminate unwanted deposits of fat, mostly from thighs, flanks and abdomen, at the same time, patients suitable for this breast augmentation modality do also seem to be much happier with the final results.

The procedure will not interfere with future mammograms because the fat is never injected into the breast gland directly, but in different planes around the breast.
After fat transfer breast augmentation the breasts are more like natural breasts.

Other advantages of natural fat transfer breast augmentation are massive:There is no need for implant exchange ever nor any risk of implant related complications.

From my surgical perspective, the handling characteristics are also a crucial advantage of the Body Jet.
The simultaneous irrigation , suction and filtering process has made natural fat transfer breast augmentation much more user friendly.
Previous centrifugation techniques were extremely time consuming and a lot of fat was lost during the preparation process.

With Body Jet, we do normally need about 1-1,5 hours to complete the breast augmentation procedure, which is done under local anesthetic.
That makes natural fat transfer breast augmentation a much more realistic alternative for many patients.
In our Marbella practice, natural fat transfer breast augmentation does already make up for about 60% of breast augmentation cases, with numbers further rising.
