Brazilian Butt Lift

Many patients visit Dr. Kara to improve the appearance of their buttocks with a buttock augmentation in Toronto. Buttock augmentation is designed to enhance the shape and projection of the buttocks. This can be achieved with a special implant or with a fat transfer procedure – a technique commonly called the "Brazilian Butt Lift."

Choosing to Get Buttock Augmentation: Who's a Good Candidate?

Patients often turn to board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kara to perform their buttock augmentation because he is a recognized Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of Canada. With his skill in body cosmetic surgery, Dr. Kara performs buttock augmentation to correct:

• Uneven buttock contour
• Sagging buttocks
• Underdeveloped buttocks and
• Asymmetry of the buttocks

In addition to improving the contour of the buttocks, this procedure can tighten the surrounding skin of the upper outer thigh. Oftentimes, this effect is achieved through the use of a silicone gel implant, though fat grafting is an alternative that may be appealing to many patients.

Ideal patients for a butt augmentation in Toronto are healthy, nonsmokers at a stable body weight and have realistic expectations for the outcome of buttock augmentation surgery. Many women undergoing buttock augmentation also choose a breast augmentation with implants in Toronto for balanced body proportions.

Your Buttock Augmentation

In your consultation, Dr. Kara will discuss the specifics of your buttock augmentation. If buttock implants are chosen for your procedure, Dr. Kara will begin by making an incision in the lower crease of your buttocks. Through this incision, he will be able to insert the implant which will add volume and projection to your buttocks. Taking care to ensure symmetry and a beautiful cosmetic result, Dr. Kara will position the implant. Once he has achieved the desired result and implant location, Dr. Kara will close the incisions with sutures.

In fat grafting, a series of injections are administered into the buttock area to enhance gluteal projection. First, liposuction is used to remove fat from another area of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs or back (patients must have a sufficient amount of fat to undergo the Brazilian butt lift technique in Toronto). The doctor then prepares the fat and administers a series of injections into the buttock tissue.

Results and Aftercare for Buttock Augmentation

After your buttock augmentation in Vaughn, Whitby or Toronto, you will be given specific aftercare instructions. Dr. Kara will ask you to walk around some time after the procedure. You will need to rest and may not be able to sleep on your back for a few days. Pain can be managed with medication, but you may experience some discomfort, swelling and bruising after butt augmentation.
