Marina Plastic Surgery by Athēnix is a leading provider of advanced surgical and non-surgical aesthetic care in Pasadena, known for its board-certified experts, proven results, and a strong commitment to patient safety.
The Brazilian Butt Lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that augments and reshapes the buttocks and hips with the patient's own fat cells. Athēnix surgeons work with your unique anatomy and offer custom-tailored procedures that remove unwanted fat from various body areas and use natural body material to produce long-lasting, smooth, and natural-looking results.
All clinical Before & After Images represent real Athēnix Patient Results. None of the results have been edited or modified outside of cropping or placement of watermark.
Additional Before & After Imagery is available within each center.
At Athēnix, we focus our practice on body sculpting and contouring without the difficult recovery and extended downtime of traditional plastic surgery or more traditional forms of liposuction. We cater to the needs of men and women in the Pasadena area and prioritize providing a relaxed and comfortable environment for all our patients.
What is the difference between a Brazilian butt lift and butt implants?
How long can the results last?
Are there complications?
When will I be able to sit comfortably after my procedure?
Is there scarring after the procedure?
The Brazilian butt lift reshapes the buttocks using the patient's own fat, while implants are used for patients without excess fat or who want a big change quickly. The butt lift may be preferred as it uses the patient's natural fat.
The results of a Brazilian Butt Lift can last as long as the patient maintains a healthy and active lifestyle at a stable weight. Following aftercare instructions can help retain up to 85% of the injected fat for a lifetime.
Complications are very rare. Our physicians are highly experienced and use the most advanced and safest procedures. Any complications are usually minor and temporary.
After the procedure, you will need two to four weeks before sitting normally and be taught to use a special pillow to protect the fat transplant. Plan the month following the procedure to reduce the need to sit for long periods of time for the best recovery results.
Scarring depends on how much fat needs to be harvested, but generally, scars are less than one centimeter and become invisible after healing. Following the recovery regimen directed by medical professionals should lead to a smooth, natural look without noticeable scars.
