Introduction

People desire to undergo butt lift surgery to improve the overall look of their body. Most people who have excessive fat in their body appear out-of-shape. In the butt lift surgery, excessive fat and skin is removed and body tissue is replaced or repositioned to give a better appearance to the body. This type of surgery is normally performed on people who have hanging skin and excessive fat tissue near their buttocks and thigh regions. Let us try to understand better the differences and similarities between a normal butt lift surgery and Brazilian butt lift surgery.

Ordinary Butt Lift

The ordinary butt lift surgery known as Gluteoplasty is done to tighten the skin around buttocks by removing excess skin and other fat tissue. If the buttocks appear too flat after the surgery, an augmentation surgery or a fat grafting surgery is performed. Implants are used during augmentation surgery to improve the appearance of buttocks. Gluteal implants enhance the contour of buttocks. Other procedures like liposuction and fat transfer are done to correct gluteal deformities and irregularities. Obese patients undergo this procedure to reduce excessive fat of the body which is bad for the overall body functions. The ordinary butt lift takes more than the Brazilian butt lift.

Brazilian Butt Lift

This surgery is also as called Brazilian butt augmentation. Brazilian butt lift surgery is different in that it uses autologous fat transfer; it means patient’s own fat is transferred from one part of the body to another. Fat is taken from places where it is present in excess and injected into places where it is required to improve the contour of the buttock. It uses tumescent liposculpturing technique to remove fat from the body.

Tumescent fluid is injected into the targeted area and it acts as a local anesthetic and also helps in easy removal of excess fat using a tubular instrument called cannula. Usage of fat injection to transfer fat is what differentiates Brazilian butt lift surgery from a normal butt lift procedure.

Brazilian butt lift is less painful than a butt implant surgery. It also requires significantly less time to perform.

Terminologies Being Used Interchangeably

The problem arises when physicians use terminologies like butt lift, Brazilian butt lift, and butt augmentation interchangeably. A butt lift is different from a butt implant. Brazilian butt lift is more like fat transfer from parts of the body that contain excess fat to buttocks. This procedure gives more firmness to the buttocks. However, a butt implant is a silicone implant used to improve the buttock contour.

Conclusion

Both ordinary and Brazilian butt lift procedures are used to improve the appearance and contour of the buttocks. However, fat transfer method is used in Brazilian butt lift. The kind of procedure used for butt lift depends largely on the patient’s condition and the amount of fat present in the patient’s body. It is wise to discuss with your physician in detail about different kinds of butt lift procedures before undergoing the procedure. They will be able to help you understand the procedure better by explaining what kind of instruments and medicine is used during the procedure.
