Brazilian Butt Lift: The Ultimate Fat Transfer

It’s not your fault, and it’s out of your control. Diet and exercise are the cornerstones of staying fit and healthy, but genetics rule when it comes to your overall musculoskeletal composition. You don’t get to decide where your body stores fat or where it loses fat when you diet. And exercises that target your gluteus maximus (butt muscles) can strengthen and tone, but they can only work with the raw materials you have to start with.

To change the shape you were born with, you need the expert skills of Frederick H. Watkins, MD. A Diplomat of the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Watkins specializes in both reconstructive and cosmetic plastic surgery and can work with you to create the ideal shape with a Brazillian butt lift. 

Whether you want your buttocks to be curvier, higher, firmer, rounder, or more voluptuous, Dr. Watkins is here to listen to your vision and help you achieve a natural-looking, beautifully curvaceous backside.

Two procedures in one

One of the best parts of the Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is that it accomplishes two body improvements at the same time. Because the procedure uses fat from one area of your body and transfers it to your bottom, you get the added benefit of removing fat cells from your tummy, thighs, or hips.

The difference between a Brazillian butt lift and buttocks implants

A BBL is a much less invasive procedure than buttocks implant surgery, so there’s a lower chance for complications, such as infection or rejection. 

However, if you’re very slender and don’t have enough excess body fat to harvest for your BBL fat transfer, you may be able to achieve your aesthetic goals by adding natural-feeling buttocks implants. Dr. Watkins can help you decide which is more suitable for your body type and goals.

Deciding whether you’re a good candidate for a Brazillian butt lift

The best way to decide whether or not any type of surgery is right for you is to work closely with a reputable, experienced professional. Dr. Watkins fulfills that requirement and then some. His credentials speak volumes about his expertise, and he’s also known for his exceptional ability to listen to his patients and offer extremely personal care.

Before scheduling your BBL procedure, Dr. Watkins will sit with you and discuss the benefits and risks, as well as the factors that will set you up for success, including:

• Being in good general health
• Having enough fat from elsewhere on your body to harvest
• Having good skin tone in your buttocks (your BBL won’t tighten skin)
• You’re ability and willingness to stay off your bottom for a couple of weeks during recovery
