Choosing a Brazilian Butt Lift Surgeon

"No really, I'm the only Brazilian butt lift surgeon in America," the surgeon says, sporting a tan from Brazil or Cancun and reeking faintly of Cuba Libre and coconut oil. Hasn't he heard of Google? An Internet search for "Brazilian butt lift," "butt lift surgery," or "butt augmentation" reveals surgeons in many states who perform this buttock augmentation. However, George Lefkovits is the only one to trademark the Brazilian butt fill procedure.

One of our search results led us to a surgeon who cautions the effects of the Brazilian butt lift surgery are temporary, that the fat tends to dissolve. At least he's being honest. Many surgeons say this is simply not true--if the fat is properly prepared in a centrifuge, the effects will last. Don't trust a surgeon who says she's the only one performing a particular procedure. Plastic surgery directories will usually reveal the truth. We prefer surgeons who specialize in butt lift surgery--not to mention ones that don't make misleading statements. Although it does help if the surgeon has actually spent time in Brazil.
