A nicely rounded butt is a definite asset – but not every person has been blessed with this feature. If you are one of the many people who dream of having more rounded, attractive buttocks, you are likely a candidate for our Brazilian butt lift in Valdosta, GA.
Why Brazilian? This buttocks augmentation procedure is named after its development in Brazil and is now used worldwide.
The procedure is innovative and safe for most people, as it involves transferring natural fat. Rather than placing implants to enhance the size of the buttocks, excess fat is carefully extracted from an area of your body, such as the thighs or love handles. After extraction, the fat is purified and then injected into the upper section of the buttocks to achieve a more rounded, lifted appearance.
If you are in good health, have excess fat to harvest, do not smoke, and want to enhance the size and shape of your buttocks, you are likely a good candidate. The reasons to undergo this innovative procedure include the following:
Every Brazilian butt lift at PSAV begins with a private consultation where Dr. Merriman evaluates your available donor fat, discusses your goals, and walks you through what's realistically achievable for your body. You'll have the chance to ask questions about the process, recovery, and expected results without any pressure to commit. This one-on-one conversation ensures your plan is built entirely around your anatomy and goals, not a one-size-fits-all template.
Most patients retain a majority of the transferred fat once it establishes a blood supply, though some natural reabsorption is expected in the first few months. Dr. Merriman's technique is designed to maximize graft survival for lasting results.
Liposuction and injection sites are small and strategically placed, so any resulting scars are typically minimal and fade significantly over time. Your aftercare routine plays an important role in how scars heal, and we can provide scar care recommendations as part of your recovery plan.
If you don't have sufficient donor fat available, Dr. Merriman may recommend butt implants or a traditional butt lift instead. This will be discussed thoroughly during your consultation.
Initial changes are visible once swelling begins to subside, but final results typically emerge over three to six months as the transferred fat fully settles. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy habits afterward helps preserve your results.
As with any surgical procedure, a Brazilian butt lift carries potential risks, including bleeding, infection, fat absorption, asymmetry, contour irregularities, and complications related to anesthesia. Dr. Merriman uses meticulous surgical techniques and carefully follows established safety guidelines to help minimize these risks while achieving natural-looking results.
During the first several weeks of recovery, you’ll need to limit direct pressure on the buttocks to help maximize fat survival. Dr. Merriman will explain when it’s safe to gradually resume normal sitting and recommend specialized cushions if needed.
Once the transferred fat establishes a blood supply and healing is complete, the surviving fat cells become a permanent part of your body. Maintaining a consistent weight and healthy lifestyle can help your results last for many years.
