What is a Brazilian Butt-Lift?

It involves extracting excess fat from donor areas, such as the abdomen or thighs, purifying it, and injecting it into the buttocks to create a fuller and more pronounced contour.

While every individual is unique, ideal candidates for a Brazilian Butt-Lift generally share certain characteristics. Good candidates:

- Purification: The extracted fat will be purified to ensure the highest quality for the transfer.
- Injection: The purified fat will be carefully injected into different areas of the buttocks to achieve the desired shape and volume.

The recovery process after a Brazilian Butt-Lift varies from person to person. However, here are some general guidelines:
