Cosmetic Body Contouring in Oklahoma City, OK

Though celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Beyoncé, and Jennifer Lopez may have started the trend of emphasizing the buttocks, it has quickly spread across age and ethnic lines. Our Brazilian butt lift patients range significantly in age. Similarly, patient weight ranges vary widely. However, excellent results can be achieved regardless of age or body type.

During this procedure, Dr. Brou removes fat from an area where it’s not wanted—such as the abdomen or thighs—and places it into the buttocks. Essentially, this is a combination of liposuction AND buttock augmentation. While these numbers are not as high as those performed for breast augmentation, it does help to explain why it is one of the fastest growing cosmetic procedures today. In properly skilled hands, it is not just about increasing the size of the butt, but also about obtaining a shapelier butt, and recontouring the entire torso, including the waist, abdomen, and thighs.

During your Brazilian butt lift procedure, Dr. Brou will harvest fat from areas where you have excess such as the abdomen, thighs, upper back (aka “bra rolls”) or arms. The right spots are going to depend on each patient’s individual needs. By removing fat from certain areas such as the abdomen and placing it into the buttocks, Dr. Brou can restore harmony to your body, accentuate your waist, and re-contour your torso. The end result is typically a narrower waist, a shapelier buttock and hip, and a sexier figure. When you come in for a Brazilian butt lift consultation, Dr. Brou will examine you from a 360-degree perspective, determining the best places for adding and subtracting fat in order to get you closer to your desired body. It is not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Most patients can expect about a week of downtime after fat grafting. You will be able to get up and move around freely, but you will have swelling and some soreness. You will need to shift your weight from hip to hip while sitting on your buttocks for the first two weeks following surgery for optimal results. We will give you a compression garment to wear for the first month to help with the swelling. The swelling will take several weeks to completely go away.

Just as every person’s body contour is unique, results of your fat grafting procedure will also vary. It is important to discuss all of your concerns and goals with Dr. Brou. During your consultation, Dr. Brou will advise you of likely outcomes for your appearance.

It may take weeks or months for post-fat grafting swelling to completely subside. As swelling dissipates, your new buttock contour will begin to appear and develop. It is important to maintain a healthy consistent weight after your surgery in order to retain your results.

Fat grafting is a surgical procedure, and therefore risks are always involved as a result of receiving anesthesia as well as the procedure itself. Dr. Brou can help assess your unique health needs and advise you of any concerns to be aware of prior to undergoing surgery. Potential risks associated with fat grafting include pain, swelling, irregular contours and loose skin, skin or nerve damage, infection, blood clots, fluid accumulation, scarring, bleeding or asymmetry, although rare.
