Curves Ahead!: The Brazilian Butt Lift

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 may just 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 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 pioneers of this technique, Dr. Deal, a fellowship-trained expert and a 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 and since then has performed over 3,000 procedures. As the 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 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.
