Our Brazilian Butt Lift is a procedure that can lift, shape and enhance your buttocks and hips for shapely, feminine curves you’ll love to show off!
Brazilian Butt Augmentation removes fat from one area of the body where it is undesired, such as the waist, tummy/abdomen, thighs, flanks or arms and adds it to the backside and hips for fuller, more attractive and firmer buttocks and hips. It is a better tolerated procedure than augmentation using silicone implants, and yields results that look and feel very natural. Dr. Stasch exclusively practices in Kenya, and has identified certain criteria that women in Kenya like about their butts – so he has renamed the Brazilian butt lift to the more appropriately named “Kenyan Butt Lift”.
During the consultation, you will be asked about the results you would like to achieve from the Kenyan Buttock lift. This will help Dr. Stasch understand your expectations and determine whether they can be realistically achieved. The procedure uses your own fat, so it is the most natural way to augment your buttocks. Over the last few years, the buttocks have received more press coverage than ever before. People of all ages and shapes are having the Kenyan Butt Lift procedure with us here in Kenya.
The procedure is best performed when a patient is fit and healthy. The Brazilian Butt Lift is a type of butt augmentation surgery, which results in youthful, prominent, perky buttocks and hips and a more sensual body profile. Candidates for the procedure include both women and men who have these issues:
BBL Surgery will enhance your body contour by making your abdomen firmer and flatter and your buttocks and / or hips fuller. You may find that you feel more comfortable in your clothing and are more confident about your appearance. Having this procedure done by an experienced Plastic Surgeon will:
Excess fat is removed by liposuction from any areas you choose, and then separated from the liposuction fluid in a closed sterile system with no further manipulation of the fat. The healthy, pure fat is then injected carefully and in multiple different layers as microdroplets into the butt area for a fuller, more lifted and younger looking buttocks. The process of fat reinjection involves several passes of injections through a few tiny incisions in the skin. The procedure is designed to fill the upper and lower quadrant of your buttocks as well as your lateral hips and upper posterior thigh so that the butt appears lifted and perky. The resulting effect is that your profile appears more attractive and sensuous.
Step 1 – Liposuction of multiple areas to gain the fat that will enhance your buttocks.
Liposuction is performed through small, inconspicuous incisions using the water assisted liposuction (WAL – BodyJet®) technique. First, diluted local anesthesia is infused to reduce bleeding and trauma. Then a thin hollow tube, or cannula, is inserted through the incisions to loosen excess fat using a controlled back and forth motion. Using the so-called “Water-jet system”, liposuction occurs gently, avoiding damage to the fat cells which is vital to the success of the surgery. The dislodged fat is then suctioned out of the body using a surgical vacuum attached to the cannula. In general, we liposuction the maximum amount of fat that is safe, which will then be transferred into the buttocks and hips into different layers.
Step 2 – Safe Fat injection
Water-jet assisted fat transplantation is efficient and gentle to the fat cells and eliminates the need for elaborate centrifugation and any other preparation of the fatty tissue. The fat or lipo-aspirate that was harvested through liposuction is then separated from the remaining fluid in a special sterile container to get pure fat with healthy adipocytes (fat cells) and stem cells that can be immediately used for water-jet assisted fat transfer.
Dr. Stasch will use a small injection cannula to add the fat to the buttocks and hips through small injections in previously carefully determined areas of your buttocks / hips. The crucial surgical skill is the proper positioning of the fat in safe layers of your soft tissue. Dr. Stasch will pay meticulous attention not to touch the muscles, which are a no-go zone for fat grafting in the buttocks. That way he can guarantee your safety and still achieve amazing results.
While you can expect some soreness and swelling, many of our patients resume daily activities after 1-3 days following their Kenyan Butt Augmentation procedure. You should avoid sitting and lying on the areas of fat grafting for a minimum of 3-6 weeks in order for the fat cells to form their own blood supply. After this period it is safe to do all normal activities.
Dr Stasch is a “fat transfer / lipofilling” specialist and has performed thousands of fat transfers to breasts, contour defects, scars, sagging faces and buttocks during his international career. In the last decade he has also trained with the most experienced doctors around the world, and is now frequently invited as a guest speaker at International meetings, teaching colleagues his special technique. Through this experience and special technique he has achieved excellent fat transfer results. With extensive knowledge and experience using the fat transfer system, we can accomplish beautiful, natural-looking results while maintaining an extremely high patient satisfaction rate, and high safety record. Dr Stasch has published papers in internationally recognized journals on the topic of fat transfer.
The results of buttock augmentation are immediately visible; you will see your final results 3 months after the surgery, as it takes a while for the fat to “take” and the swelling to settle. This procedure offers natural looking results, which are permanent after about 6 weeks. As swelling reduces, the initial volume you experience after your fat grafting procedure decreases slightly and some cells are absorbed by your body (on the average, patients will retain 60-80% of the transferred fat, in some cases more in others less). Satisfaction with your new image should continue to grow as you recover and realize the fulfillment of your goal for a fuller buttock. As you gain or lose weight, your results may change as the transferred fat can grow or shrink just as any other fat in your body.
Patients may experience temporary swelling and bruising following their Kenyan Butt Lift.
Whilst these operations are generally safe in the hands of a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon and regarded to be highly successful, there are, as with any operation, risks involved and the possibility of complications that patients need to consider. Most wound problems are minor and can be managed with simple dressings; however more major wound problems can arise such as infections, asymmetries, fat loss and delayed healing. We will discuss all of these considerations in detail during the consultation. Fat embolism is a serious complication that will be discussed in detail during your consultation.
Smokers are strongly advised to discontinue smoking several weeks prior to surgery and after the operation, as smoking increases the risks of complications and delays wound healing by altering blood circulation in the skin. You can reduce your risks of complications by closely following our instructions before and after the surgery.
The cost of buttock lift surgery depends on your circumstances and the technique we will perform. Prices range from KES 600,000 – 900,000.
For more information on buttock lift costs, we invite you to book a consultation session with Dr Stasch. During this confidential appointment, we can discover more about what you would like to achieve and find out if buttock lift surgery is right for you.
It is very rare for our patients to have to gain weight before a fatgrafting procedure, including KBL. If however, during the consultation, Dr Stasch explains that the fat is not enough for a perfect result, weight gain might be an option to increase the chances meeting your expectations with a good outcome.
It’s an amazingly simple procedure from a scarring point of view: There will be no scars, apart from tiny, 3mm incisions where the lipo cannula goes through the skin. These will be done in well places, hidden areas.
Recovery after BBL is 1 – 2 weeks initially, to recover form the Liposuction. The buttocks are not painful, but sitting is not recommended for 2 -3 weeks, to allow the transplanted fat to “take”, i.e. grow in the transplanted positions. Final results can be expected after 3 months.
The Kenyan Buttlift (KBL) is essentially the same as the Brazilian Buttlift, with the exception that Kenyan women have different bodies, expectations and genetics than Brazilian woman. Cultural ideals and aesthetic preferences in Kenya for some patients seeking Buttock enhancement include a “snatched” waist (totally thin waist line), a feminine S-curve, full hips and lateral buttocks, as well as round and perky posteriors. These features are the focus doing a Kenyan Butt Lift.
We recommend sleeping on the tummy initially, then slight lateral position with a pillow between the legs and in other strategic positions to avoid pressure on the fat transplanted areas.
We recommend 3 weeks on average to avoid putting pressure on the fat grafted areas. The reason is that the fat cells will survive better when they have good blood supply, which is reduced when lying of them. Special cushions can be used to sit and prevent pressure on the delicate areas. We can provide you with these BBL cushions in case you need them.
Yes that is possible. We are often asked to do tummy tucks as well as Butt Lifts – that’s a special scenario which is still possible, but Dr Stasch will explain in detail the pros and cons of this combination. As long as its safe to combine other ops, it is usually fine.
There are many advantages to having your buttocks and hips enlarged and sculptured using your own tissue and fat. Silicone butt implants are not commonly done, because they can cause many problem such as dislodgement, rupture, and infection. We prefer to use autologous fat in Kenya, using fatgrafting as the safer and better method to give patients who seek this procedure the best results that we can give their bodies.
After 3 months the results will be such that we can take the final “after” picture, since it will show more or less the final result. In some patients, however, the results will even improve further if they maintain their good lifestyle and work on their bodies.
This is an important question that all patients need to be informed about. Dr Stasch has never had a death after a Kenyan or Brazilian Buttlift, or any other surgical procedure. Worldwide figures show however estimated death rates from fat embolism during or after a Buttlift can be high, but more recent studies will determine the exact incidence of this complication. Most deaths occurred with inexperienced surgeons, or non-plastic surgeons, who would inject the fat into the wrong positions and areas. This would allow fat entering the large blood vessels in the buttock muscles, entering the bloodstream all the way to the lungs.
At Vitality Fountain Clinic in Nairobi, safety is the highest concern with all our patients, hence we take all precautions to avoid fat embolism in Kenyan Butt Lift. Dr Stasch gets regularly invited to teach other Plastic Surgeons about the techniques of safe BBL.
