Special
Considerations

Treatment
Every procedure is planned with your unique goals in mind. During your initial consultation, our plastic surgery team will discuss the butt lift options available to you, and the benefits of each to help determine which is best suited to your needs.

Each of these testimonials is a reflection of our mission: to transform lives through compassionate, high-quality care.

Emilio Codorniz
I’ve been feeling great throughout this process; my self-esteem, my image, my vitality, and my energy have all changed because I’m no longer overweight. I’m not as tired anymore, and I no longer eat until I feel stuffed. On the contrary, I’ve learned how to eat properly.
Shantal Maldonado
I spent years trying to lose weight with diets and exercise without success, and it was incredibly frustrating. I reached the point where I said, "I need help." From the moment I had my first appointment with Dr. Pompa, she gave me so much confidence, and I left feeling fully determined to go through with the surgery.
Anahí Ortega
The way the staff at LIMARP works makes you feel like they already know you. It’s not like a typical clinic where you’re treated as just another patient. They make you feel truly welcome. They’re incredibly kind, caring, and supportive. It’s so nice to come to a place where you feel seen and heard.
Sandra Hernández
Before my surgery, I struggled with both hypertension and diabetes. I began noticing results even before the procedure, as the preoperative diet helped me lose some weight. After the surgery, the weight came off quickly, and my life transformed completely. I am no longer diabetic or hypertensive, I no longer need medication, and I no longer feel constantly tired. It has truly been a life-changing, 360-degree transformation.

What should I know before Butt Lift Surgery?
It is recommended that you bring examples of your ideal results such as photos of your younger self or a celebrity.
Foreign patients will be asked to email specific photographs to help us determine which procedure best responds to their needs.
Our team will also help you establish realistic expectations so you can know exactly what to expect after your procedure. We will take all the time necessary to answer any questions or concerns you may have before proceeding.
Any significant weight gain can alter your results. If you smoke or consume alcohol regularly, you will need to quit these habits before surgery and abstain during your recovery to avoid complications and improve results.
How is the process of Butt Lift with Fat Transfer?
Patients who want to add volume using their own tissue often prefer fat transfer with liposuction, also known as a Brazilian butt lift. A butt lift performed using fat transfer is less invasive and can also refine problem areas.
During this procedure, your plastic surgeon will remove excess fat from another area of your body, such as the thighs, abdomen, or back. Once the fat is removed, it will be purified and carefully inserted into the buttocks. This technique can provide substantial results but some patients might choose to undergo touch-ups over time.
Patients who wish to undergo a Brazilian butt lift will need to have excess fat deposits in another area of their body that can be used for the procedure. If you do not, you may need to consider implants instead.
How is the process of Butt Lift with Implants?
Butt implants are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and even textures to help patients achieve their desired results.
This method is beneficial for patients desiring even more dramatic results.
Typically, a butt lift with implants requires about three to four hours to complete. During the procedure, our team will create discreet incisions that follow your natural curves and carefully place your implants to ensure the best possible outcome.
It is important to note that if you are allergic to silicone, a rare but serious consideration, this method is not recommended.
How is the Recovering from a Butt Lift?
Your recovery will vary based on the type of procedure you undergo. Once the surgery is complete, your plastic surgeon will apply the appropriate bandages and compression garments to help minimize swelling and bruising. Immediately following surgery, you may experience some discomfort, but you will be able to walk. When resting, it is important to follow special instruction so as not to disrupt the injected fat tissue or implants.
The day after your procedure, our plastic surgery team will monitor your results and adjust your compression garments and any dressings. Most patients are able to return to work and normal activity within one to two weeks and are cleared for physical activity around week five or six.
For at least the first six weeks after your surgery, you will be advised to sleep on your stomach to help prevent surgical complications.
Follow-up appointments will be scheduled at different markers throughout your recovery so your plastic surgeon can ensure you are responding well to surgery. Over the course of the next year, as swelling subsides and your body heals, you will begin to enjoy your newer, enhanced silhouette.
What are the Benefits of a Butt Lift?
