Brazilian Butt Lift and Traditional Butt Lift
Conveniently located to serve Mobile, AL

Many individuals in Mobile, AL, desire to refine their body contours and enhance their physique. Dr. Randy Profitt offers both Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBLs) and Traditional Butt Lifts to address these aesthetic goals. These procedures provide effective solutions for those seeking to improve the shape and volume of their buttocks.

Brazilian Butt Lift Overview

The Brazilian Butt Lift is an incredibly effective procedure for body contouring because it can take unwanted fat from areas of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, and reinsert that fat in into areas where more volume is desired, like the buttocks. This can significantly magnify that hourglass figure so many seek to achieve. The other benefits are that this procedure has a relatively short recovery time and uses the body’s fat for contouring rather than an implant. This benefits the healing process and eliminates the chance of the body rejecting a foreign object.

Benefits of a Brazilian Butt Lift

A Brazilian Butt Lift offers a range of advantages that can significantly enhance your physique and body image:

• Enhanced buttock shape and volume: Achieve a fuller, more rounded, and aesthetically pleasing buttock contour, creating a more balanced and proportionate figure.
• Improved body contouring: This procedure simultaneously removes unwanted fat from areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, resulting in a more sculpted and defined silhouette. It provides a dual benefit, addressing areas of excess fat while augmenting the buttocks.
• Natural-looking results: Utilizing your fat ensures a natural look and feel, with results that integrate seamlessly with your body.
• Long-lasting results: The results of a BBL are considered permanent, with the transferred fat cells integrating and thriving in their new location. While some fat absorption is possible, most results are sustained with proper care.
• Minimally Invasive: The BBL utilizes minimally invasive techniques, which can result in a shorter recovery time than other more invasive procedures.

During Your Butt Lift Consultation

At your consultation with Dr. Proffitt, you will be invited to watch an educational DVD on body procedures and view a library of before-and-after photos. Dr. Proffitt will also take your medical history and conduct a thorough examination. He will go over each type of butt lift, give you his recommendations, and answer any questions or concerns you may have. Dr. Proffitt strives to provide a thorough understanding of his patients’ desires and expectations while educating them on realistic surgical goals.

How the Brazilian Butt Lift is Performed

To achieve a Brazilian Butt Lift, Dr. Proffitt will harvest fat from an area on your body, typically the stomach, and then, after preparing the harvested fat, inject it into the buttocks. Injecting fat into the buttocks helps the buttocks appear fuller and rounder and, in general, improves the overall appearance. This procedure typically takes about two or three hours to complete.

Fat is harvested through liposuction, which involves the use of a cannula. A cannula is a thin tube with a sharp end for dislodging stubborn fat cells from their surrounding tissues. For fat grafting, it is important to harvest fat as gently as possible so that the cells stay healthy for transplantation. Dislodged fat cells are removed through the cannula via medical suction.

During the injection process, the fat cells are injected evenly to provide the most aesthetically pleasing results. This process can take time, but it is important to make sure that grafted fat cells connect to the blood supply in the region. This allows them to survive and thrive for long-lasting results.

Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery and Healing

When healing after a Brazilian butt lift, patients must take time off from their jobs. Typically, around two weeks off is recommended. During this time, patients will need to wear a post-surgical elastic garment to control bruising and swelling. Ice packs will also help with this process.

For around two to three weeks of recovery, it is important not to sit directly on the buttocks; pressure on the buttocks must be avoided, as it can damage the transplanted fat cells. Patients must not swim for at least four weeks after the procedure.

Follow Dr. Proffitt’s post-surgical care directions diligently to achieve longer-lasting results, a minimized chance of complications, and a shorter recovery process.

Brazilian Butt Lift Results

The results of fat grafting are permanent and can help the butt to appear fuller and perkier while simultaneously shrinking the waist and thighs. However, in many cases, the patient’s body will break down and resorb some of the grafted fat.

A butt Augmentation with fat injections may not improve the appearance of sagging skin. To help improve sagging skin in the buttock area, Dr. Proffitt may recommend a traditional butt lift.

Traditional Butt Lift

A traditional butt lift tightens and lifts the buttocks for a more youthful and round appearance. It is an ideal option for contouring and reducing sagging, but unlike the Brazilian butt lift, it does not create new volume in the buttocks. Dr. Proffitt performs these surgeries at an outpatient facility.

The traditional butt lift involves administration of anesthesia, followed by the creation of incisions in the area. The excess skin is carefully removed using a scalpel, the remaining skin is tightened, and the incisions are closed using surgical stitches.
