Serving patients near Fairfax and Ashburn, Dr. Ghaznavi combines expertise, empathy, and education to deliver exceptional results.
What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
A Brazilian Butt Lift is a surgical procedure that enhances the shape and volume of the buttocks by using your own fat. This approach not only improves the appearance of the buttocks but also contours other areas of the body where the fat is removed. The result is a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing silhouette.
How the Brazilian Butt Lift is Done
Fat Harvesting
The procedure begins with liposuction, where fat is extracted from donor areas such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, or flanks. This fat is then purified to remove any impurities or excess fluids, preparing it for injection into the buttocks.
Fat Injection
Once purified, the fat is carefully injected into the buttocks in the subcutaneous space, avoiding muscle layers to ensure safety and optimal results. Dr. Ghaznavi performs this procedure under ultrasound guidance, which enhances the safety and precision of the fat placement. By using ultrasound imaging, Dr. Ghaznavi can visualize the tissues and structures, ensuring the fat is injected in the best locations without disrupting blood vessels or muscle layers.
Recovery
The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and can take two or more hours to complete. While it can be done as an outpatient surgery, some patients may require hospitalization for one or more nights to ensure proper post-operative care.
I’m very happy and pleased with the quality of care and treatment I received at AMG Plastic Surgery. Dr Ghaznavi was very thorough, attentive and caring before, during and after my surgery and continues to be. From the moment I walked in the office, Pam greeted me and helped calm my nerves and has been supportive throughout the entire process and continues to be. I highly recommend this practice for any plastic surgery you need. You will be well taken care of.
