Brazilian Butt

Anyone ever had this done were they use the extra skin from your back to rebuild your butt? I saw it on the plastic surgery show on TV and the woman had RNY also and lost most of her rear and they use the excess skin and fat from her back to make her a new butt.

I had it done as part of my LBL.  It's also referred to as an auto-augmentation.

I love my results.  The only thing to keep in mind though, is that you won't have as significant of a weight loss of skin removal because they're reusing the existing tissue.  Your shape is definitely improved.

When I had my consult, my ps pulled and lifted my skin to give me an idea of how the procedures would look post op (close, not exact).  When he lifted the skin around my back, it was clear that I would have no butt.  So I opted for the auto-aug.

Lisa thanks for the reply do you have any before and after pics you can share?

I had it but didnt really have alot of fat to inject back in, so I knew the results would be slight.  I thought it looked good at first but lost weight and muscle tone from being laid up for so long, and now it looks the same as before.  I think  it will look better if I put back on a couple lbs and get my muscles back.

you had the extra skin from your back used to make you a butt and it didnt help the look of it or did they just put fat injections in your butt and it didnt look good?

injections.  it did look good at first but I lost 20 lbs whi*****leded all my butt muscles and the fat what was injected I think cause its pretty flat now

Here's a great explanation of the brazialian butt lift or auto augmentation (in conjunction with a lower body lift) - it does not use injections:

A body lift is a combined procedure that addresses the contour of abdomen, the lateral thighs and the buttocks. It is essentially an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), a lateral thigh lift and a buttock lift. It leaves a lengthy scar that goes completely around the waistline; however, we design the incision to be hidden beneath underwear or a bathing suit. This procedure is also commonly referred to as a lower body lift, a circumferential body lift or a belt lipectomy.

It is important to realize that all plastic surgeons do not perform this procedure in the same fashion. A circumferential excision can sometimes result in the loss of buttock projection and the appearance of a “flattened" buttock if all of this tissue is discarded. To preserve this desired buttock contour, we use the existing excess tissue that is normally discarded and shape it into a tissue flap that is rotated inferior in a way that will preserve projection or add volume to enhance your buttock contour. This is called buttock or gluteal autoaugmentation. At the time of your consultation, your surgeon will discuss whether your anatomy and goals are appropriate for this procedure.

I dunno, doc called it a brazillian and when I researched it I saw that they called using injections with lipo around the lower back a brazillian on the sites I looked at
