Brazilian Butt Lift – This is a patient in her 30s who was bothered by the relative flatness of her buttocks. She also desired slightly more volume of the buttocks in general. She initially came to me in consultation requesting Sculptra injection to these areas, and while this would have worked, she had better options available. She was nervous about the potential complications of surgery, which are minimized with proper training and technique. The patient really needed more volume than Sculptra could offer as well as sculpting of the abdomen, back, and thighs to enhance these areas. Moreover, a Brazilian butt lift is permanent and less expensive! A total of 1.85 L of fat was removed via liposuction (275 cc from the abdomen, 350 cc from each anterior thigh, 350 cc from the right back, 400 cc from the left back, 75 cc from the right posterior thigh in the area of the banana roll and 50 cc from the left banana roll). A total of 477 cc of fat was transferred to the right buttocks and 508 cc to the left buttocks.

Brazilian Butt Lift

This is a patient in her 30s who wanted an improved appearance of her abdomen after having children. She noticed a large separation of her abdominal muscles and multiple hernias after pregnancies. She underwent an abdominoplasty with liposuction during which a maximum of 34 cm (13.38 inches) and 1332 g (2.9 pounds) was taken from her lower abdomen. 300 cc of fat was removed during the liposuction. The patient also had repair of her hernias done at the same time by a general surgeon. If you are considering any abdominal surgery, Dr. Elswick can frequently work with other surgical specialties to do these procedures at the same time.

This is a patient in her 30s who saw me in consultation for another concern and wondered if there was anything to do to improve the appearance of her abdomen. She did not mind how it looked but it had always been one of her problem spots. She was the perfect candidate for liposuction. By removing only 500 cc (1.1 pounds) of fat, you are now able to see her beautiful ab muscles that were camouflaged by a small amount of fat.

She underwent an tummy tuck with skin/fat excision, muscle tightening, and high definition liposuction. Up to 20 cm of the skin and fat was excised in the central aspect of her abdomen (7.9”), which weighed 842 g (1.9 pounds). The patient is wearing silicone tape over her scars, which will help the scars fade over time.

This is a patient in her 40s who lost over approximately 100 pounds after undergoing a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and was bothered by the appearance of her abdomen. She had symptoms from excess abdominal skin, including itching and irritation under the skin folds. She underwent a tummy tuck (without liposuction) during which 1744 g (3.8 pounds) of skin and fat was removed. Almost one foot of excess vertical skin was removed. Given the patient had massive weight loss and symptoms of excess skin, a portion of this surgery was covered by insurance.

This is a patient in her 50s who experienced contour irregularities after undergoing an abdominoplasty elsewhere. She underwent liposuction of the abdomen and flanks; a total of 250 cc of fat was removed. She also underwent a scar revision in the central aspect of the scar on the right side. This resulted in a much flatter, even contour of the abdomen.

This is a patient in his 50s with excess skin in his abdomen after undergoing liposuction with another surgeon. He wanted removal of this extra skin, especially in the upper abdomen.

This is a patient in her 40s who was bothered by the appearance of her arms after a 140 pound weight loss. She was so self-conscious about her arms that she never wore shirts that showed this area. She also had so much extra skin and fat that she got rashes under the arms from the extra tissue. The arms also felt heavy. The patient underwent a brachioplasty (arm lift) to remove the extra skin and fat utilizing a technique to hide the scar in the best position possible. Can you find the scar?
