San Francisco's Premiere Brazilian Butt Lift Center

Brazilian Butt Lift is a method of buttock augmentation done to produce a more youthful, bigger and uplifted rounder buttock, as made famous by celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez (Jlo Plasty) and Beyonce.

A full buttock area has always been denoted with a more sensual and feminine body. In fact, even newer studies examining what men found more attractive was a larger buttock (hip) to waist ratio. We all know the classic Marilyn Monroe proportion of 36:24:36.

The Brazilian Butt Lift addresses the desirable characterists of an attractive female body. This is done with liposuction of the waist, abdomen, and trunk areas to harvest fat. This fat is then purified, such that the top level of fluid, serum, and red blood cells are removed and the pure fat is re-injected with serial injections.

The beauty of this procedure is that the fat can be transferred to specific areas of the buttock depending on the preference of the patient and the aesthetic eye of the doctor. This is where good communication with the patient is essential so the doctor is taking into account what the patient desires and finds attractive.

Q & A

Q. What are the different ways of performing buttock augmentation?

A. There are generally 2 ways to perform buttock augmentation.
1. Brazilian Butt Lift
2. Butt Implant

Q. Which method is better?

A. Dr. Rajagopal prefers the Brazilian Butt Lift, as this produces a more natural, softer looking, feeling buttock without the risks of implant, such as hard, unnatural appearence, and complications, such as asymmetry, infection and open draining wounds.

Q. How is Brazilian Butt Lift done?

A. Fat is harvested from the abdomen and trunk. This is done with a low pressure aspiration such that the fat cells stay viable. This extracted fat is handled gently, cleaned and set aside for re-injection. This harvest and re-injection process needs to be done carefully as this is what yields long lasting results.

Q. How long does the Brazilian Butt Lift last?


A. The majority of the donated fat will live or “take.” Generally after approximately 2-3 months, final results are seen. If at the end of this period someone wants more fullness, than any stored fat may be injected to further enhance the results.

Q. What is the down time?

A. Generally we have patients take 1 week off work. Also we recommend you do a minimum of sitting for the first week. At 4-6 weeks, you can resume exercise. You will need to wear a support garment for 4-6 weeks to compress the liposuction areas.
