Curves Ahead!: The Brazilian Butt Lift

Posted by Southern Surgical Arts on Sep 12, 2013 3:04:00 AM

Thanks to stars like Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian, Hollywood has recently begun to start embracing curvy gals with impressive derrieres. As a result, their flat stomachs and round behinds have become celebrities themselves, and receive their own press coverage.

Now that the accepted aesthetic look for women’s bodies has moved to a perkier, more rounded appearance, cosmetic surgeons are receiving more request from women for buttock augmentations. Many men and women are unhappy with the size or shape of their buttocks. It may be too flat or saggy, or clothes just may not fit right. Gaining or losing weight, pregnancy and age can all affect the overall size, shape and buttock profile, which is hard to improve through muscle toning and exercise. Dr. Chad Deal, a specialist in artistic cosmetic surgery is pleased to report that anyone who dreams of a more youthful, sensual body profile and more prominent, shapely buttocks would benefit from a procedure called the “Brazilian Butt Lift.” 

The voluptuous “Brazilian’ shape is achieved by removing excess fat from areas like the abdomen, waist or thighs and transferring it to the buttocks. Also known as a buttock augmentation, the Brazilian Butt Lift has been developed and refined over the last decade due to the dedication and hard work of a handful of exceptional surgeons who worked tirelessly to develop consistent, visually pleasing outcomes without sacrificing quality of care for the best possible health results.

One of the leading experts of this technique, Dr. Deal, a fellowship-trained, Double Board-Certified Cosmetic Surgeon has helped popularize the Brazilian Butt Lift. He has trained with the leading surgeons in and out of the field of cosmetic surgery, and during the first year of his cosmetic surgery fellowship in Las Vegas, Nevada, performed more than 800 cosmetic surgical procedures.  Since then, he has performed more than 3,000 procedures. As an expert in buttock augmentation throughout Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia, Dr. Deal trains surgeons from around the world how to perform the procedure, and has spoken at five American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery events specifically on the the Brazilian Butt Lift. He is known for his extensive knowledge of the body anatomy and was the cadaver lab director at the New and Established Techniques in Breast and Body Contouring: A Hands-On Cadaver Workshop in St. Louis, MO on Brazilian Butt Lifts and Breast Lifts in 2013.

Southern Surgical Arts is the cosmetic surgery practice of Carey Nease, MD and Chad Deal, MD who are 100% dedicated and focused on cosmetic surgery only, allowing them to specialize in ways other practices cannot. Southern Surgical Arts and our surgeons combine exceptional artistic ability and surgical expertise to deliver an experience in a warm, personal and caring environment. The practice uses the latest surgical technology to offer to patients a cosmetic surgery practice dedicated to quality, experience and surgical excellence. We are known for using the latest technology and are experts at providing minimum downtime and minimal scarring.  Southern Surgical Arts has consistently been named Best of the Best in Chattanooga for four years in a row.

The admiration of curvy celebrities in the media and in the public has increased the popularity of Brazilian Butt Lifts. The desire to have a shapelier body profile has resulted in a recent 28% increase in demand for the procedure, according to Realself.com, who also states that the procedure provides a high patient satisfaction rate of 93%. Dr. Deal agrees; “This is one of my favorite procedures to perform as patients are highly satisfied with the results. Patients love the feminine curves a Brazlilian Butt Lift can provide.”
