Brazilian Butt Lift
in Houston, TX

The Brazilian Butt Lift is a surgical procedure designed to increase the size and shape the buttocks, enhancing their volume and contour. Dr. Ravi will remove fatty tissue from a donor area, such as the abdomen or flanks, then reinject the processed fat cells into the buttocks, achieving the desired aesthetic results.

The ideal candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift will be a nonsmoker, in overall good health, looking for a rounder, perkier bottom. Potential patients must have sufficient fatty tissue along a donor area, such as the stomach, flanks, or lower back. Prior to the procedure, a confidential consultation with Dr. Ravi will be scheduled, at which time he will determine if the Brazilian Butt Lift is right for you.

On average, most of our Houston Brazilian Butt Lift patients are ready to return to work in a week or less. Exercise, strenuous activities, and heavy lifting will need to be postponed for two months.

As the harvested fat is made up of delicate, living cells, it will need time to adhere to existing tissues. For this reason, patients should not sit or put their full weight on their bottoms for at least six weeks after surgery. Patient can sit on their bottom after two weeks with a special pillow under their thighs to take the pressure off their buttocks.

Dr. Ravi’s Brazilian Butt Lift procedure is considered safe and effective, providing long-term results. However, as with any invasive technique, there is always a small chance for complications to occur, such as bleeding, infection, unexpected scarring, asymmetry, and nerve damage. The best way for prospective patients to minimize the chance of complications will be to choose a board certified plastic surgeon, such as Dr. Ravi and his professional team at Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics.

Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is a procedure in which fat is harvested from one area of the body and injected into the buttocks to improve the size, shape, and symmetry of the backside. This procedure is largely safe, long-lasting, and able to produce reliable and predictable results.Butt implants are solid silicone devices that are surgically placed into the buttocks to augment the appearance of the derriere. These come with certain surgical risks not present with BBL. At Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, we only offer BBL for buttock enhancement.

While it may take up to six months for results from your BBL to be fully realized, the new dimensions created through butt lift surgery can last for several years. However, because there is no way of telling how your body will react to fat transfer, it may take more than one procedure to reach desired results.

You will need to rest for about two weeks after your fat transfer butt lift. Following this period, mild exercise can often be resumed, but it may be six to eight weeks before you can engage in more demanding or vigorous exercise. While demanding exercise may need to be avoided for several weeks, short walks can, and should, be resumed within the first few days of surgery. These will help to improve circulation and may work to reduce swelling, speed recovery, and enhance outcomes. At Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, we work closely with each individual following surgery. During your follow-up visits, we will carefully assess your progress and help you determine when you can begin performing specific exercises.

Fat can be taken from any area of the body for transfer to the buttocks. Some of the most common donor areas are:

• Thighs
• Abdomen
• Flanks

Dr. Ravi will carefully select the most appropriate site based on your specific needs and aesthetic desires.
