Brazilian Butt Lift Los Angeles
In some situations, the size you want your buttocks to be simply isn’t obtainable due to genetics, regardless of the number of squats you do. In these circumstances, a gluteoplasty can assist you in obtaining a more proportional and sensual body shape. Plastic surgeon doctor Raman Mehrzad performs butt augmentation, also known as gluteoplasty, using autologous fat transfer to volumize the look of your rear end by increasing the curves. This procedure, often referred to as a Brazilian butt lift, uses your own natural fatty tissue, such as from your hips or abdomen, and transfers it to your buttocks to restore contour. Men and women today wish for the sexy appearance of a larger bottom, and Ocean Plastic Surgery Center in Los Alamitos, CA is excited to provide butt augmentation surgery. If you dream of a more voluptuous backside, Dr. Raman Mehrzad can build a unique treatment plan that will help you meet your goals. Call our practice to find out more about gluteoplasty.

Ideal candidates for a brazilian butt lift
Ideal candidates have lost shape and volume in their buttocks or have concerns with their buttocks appearing flat, saggy, asymmetrical, or disproportional. You also must have enough donor fat to transfer. During your consultation, Dr. Mehrzad will gauge how much fat he can harvest via liposuction to then use for your fat transfer. Unfortunately, very thin patients with low body fat are not great candidates, as they do not have enough body fat to use. Individuals all around Los Alamitos, CA regularly consult with Dr. Mehrzad to gain more information about gluteoplasty. Ideal butt augmentation candidates typically:
What to expect from a brazilian butt lift
After your surgery, it is normal to feel minor pain and experience bruising and/or swelling for several days. Depending on how much fat is transferred into your buttocks, Dr. Mehrzad will tell you how long you should avoid sitting for long periods of time or sleeping on your back. For most patients, this lasts at least two weeks. You will also need to wear a special compression garment that is modified for your specific sculpted areas. You are typically able to return to daily activities after a few weeks, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least six weeks. Dr. Mehrzad is experienced in the use of fat grafting for a fuller backside so patients are usually thrilled to find that their scars are extremely faint. As the incisions are very small and made discreetly in the natural crease of the gluteus, you will feel even more confidence in your bikinis knowing that your scars are not noticeable. To preserve results, you should maintain a stable weight through healthy diet and exercise.

We use multimodal analgesia and anti‑emetics to keep you comfortable, reduce opioid needs, and help you mobilize early for faster recovery.
