Brazilian butt lift or B’more butt lift?

There are two ways to enhance the appearance of the buttocks that include the usage of Liposuction techniques. They are the Brazilian butt lift and the B’more butt lift. The B’more butt lift is a refined version of Lipo 360. The Brazilian Butt Lift involves liposuction of your entire torso with fat injection into the buttocks. Both procedures will enhance the shape of your buttocks.

Brazilian Butt lift

The most popular and well known way is the Brazilian butt lift . Fat is extracted from the entire torso, and the fat is injected to get get the biggest buttocks possible. The fat which is injected into the buttock is permanent with my technique as I use special processing and injection techniques. If you want to have the most robust butt possible,  the Brazilian butt lift IS the procedure of choice.

But what about the patient who wants to enhance the shape of their buttock, but doesn’t really want a bigger buttock? In addition, there are some patients who absolutely can not stick to the strict post operative regimen for the BBL on not sitting for 3 weeks.

B’more Butt Lift, aka Lipo 360 with emphasis on back flanks

Another way to enhance your buttocks is the B’more butt lift. This procedure is similar to Lipo 360 in that it only extracts fat from the flanks and abdomen. The difference is that I make special attention to defining and shaping the buttocks by agressive liposuction in the back flanks. With aggressive liposuction, there will later be some fat redistibution to the buttocks. This means that new fat deposits will go to your buttock instead of your flanks.

After years of performing the Brazilian Butt Lift, I developed a procedure to give patients another choice of enhancing their buttocks. Since I practice in Baltimore, I decided to name the procedure the B’more butt lift ™. It is similar to Lipo360 except I focus more on the back flanks to give the buttocks the best definition possible.

The patient in the before and after photo above had the B’more Butt Lift. In the preoperative photo on the left, notice how the buttock profile is flattened, and is even less prominent than the waist. The waist to hips profile is almost a straight line, giving the waist and hips a squared out profile.

On the right is the postoperative view. The buttocks have a rounded profile. There is more projection and a little shelf in the upper buttock. The waist to hips profile is a nice curve, giving the patient’s waistline a sensuous hourglass profile. This is a great result. And there was not an ounce of fat injected into her butt. This is a B’more butt lift ™.

B’more butt lift is only lipo and does not involve fat transfer

Like the Brazilian butt lift, the B’more butt lift ™ enhances the buttocks. Although there is no fat injected into the butt, there is a slight increase in the butt.  Like the Brazilian butt lift, the B’more butt lift transforms the figure by changing the relationship of the waist to the hips.

Fat redistribution after Liposuction to flanks= bigger buttocks

The design of the B’more butt lift ™ focuses on two key concepts to achieve its goals

The first a true sculpting of the waistline and buttocks shape, not by removing bulges of fat, but by drawing out on the patient the actual figure you want to create. When you do this, you remove fat cells from the areas that your body likes to shift fat to. And secondly, once these fat cells are removed the body has to select new areas to store the fat.

This is called fat redistribution which relates to what where new fat deposit will go after the surgery. This works to your advantage if I select the patients carefully and plan the liposuction accordingly. Patients have genetically determined areas that their bodies store fat in. That pattern of fat storage is what gives women their shape, whether it be pear or apple shaped. If we remove most of the fat cells in one such area, waist and hips, but leave a part of it intact, that part will continue to accumulate fat. By leaving the butt intact, we target it for fat redistribution. This means that the butt will get bigger after liposuction is performed thoroughly to the flanks and abdomen.

Candidates for the B’more butt lift

I have developed the B’more Butt lift after years of experience with Brazilian butt lift and developing my own patterns of liposuction. It is a great procedure that is ideal for patients who are interested in buttocks enhancement but for one reason or another are not suited for Brazilian butt lift. Who is a candidate for the B’more butt lift ™?

1. Patients must have a generous distribution of fat in the abdomen and flanks.
2. Patient who wants an hourglass figure with narrower waist and more of an hourglass profile.
3. Patients who want a more subtle buttocks enhancement, rounder and curvier, not necessarily much bigger.
4. Patients who want a recovery time of 7 days without restrictions on sitting.
5. Patients who want a less expensive procedure, as the B’more butt lift is less expensive than the Brazilian butt lift.

I am very happy to now be able to give my patients a choice with their butt enhancement surgery.
