Maybe you have glanced back when getting dressed for work or walked by a mirror in a department store. Does your buttocks appear too small for your body frame? Is the shape of your buttocks flat or even square in appearance? Do you have a buttocks that is loose and/or sagging due to weight fluctuations or aging?
Or maybe you have done every squat, lunge, and yoga pose to target your glutes with little to no results. Well, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, if you are in good health and have a positive attitude, then you may be a good candidate for buttock augmentation.
Butt Augmentation with the Brazilian Butt Lift
Once you have decided to move forward with cosmetic surgery and have selected an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon, you can discuss your goals. The surgeon will then go over the options that can best help you obtain your desired results. There are two Common types of buttock augmentation procedures. The most common is the Brazilian Butt Lift (aka: BBL).
Dr. Mendieta has extensive experience with BBL surgery and has perfected his technique with this procedure to provide his patients with exemplary results. The Brazilian Butt Lift has become extremely popular because of the numerous benefits it offers.
Customized BBL Surgery Results
During the BBL procedure, fat cells are obtained from an area of the patient’s body using liposuction. The fat is then purified and transferred to their butt for enhancement and reshaping. BBL surgery can create highly customized results. This is because your own fat tissue can be put in specific areas to sculpt your desired butt shape. Dr. Mendieta carefully injects pearl-sized drops of fat in layers near a blood supply to increase their viability.
Minimal Scarring and Downtime
Another advantage of the Brazilian Butt Lift is less scarring. There is also a faster recovery time compared to butt implants (due to the procedure being less invasive). Scarring is very minimal, and patients can return to work within approximately 10 to 14 days. However, patients must be careful not to disrupt the newly transferred fat. Exercise can be resumed after 6 weeks; and patients should use a pillow when sitting during the first 8 weeks.
Most liposuction incision scars are so small that they become barely visible over time. And because the fat is injected using fine needles, there is no scarring on the buttocks. Additionally, since your own fat tissue is used, there is no risk of an allergic reaction to the injected material.
Fat Reduction in Trouble Areas
The main benefit most patients love about the bbl surgery procedure is the minimization of stubborn fat in other areas of the body. The fat cells are commonly taken from the abdomen and sides of the waist, (aka: “love handles”) to enhance the buttocks. Therefore, the person will get a flatter abdomen, and more shapely waistline, with the enhancement of their buttocks.
Whether you want a butt that looks more round and toned; or just to reduce the appearance of drooping or sagging, the Brazilian Butt Lift can be a great option. Call Dr. Mendieta today at 305-860-0717 to learn more and see if you’re a candidate. .
Many of us did not enlist in the Battle of the Bulge. Yet, eliminating our bulges has become a constant struggle. Excess fat on the abdomen, hips, and thighs is resilient; and until recently, nothing positive has ever come from it.
What Does a Brazilian Butt Lift Do?
With the Brazilian Butt Lift (aka: BBL Surgery), patients can put their stubborn, unwanted fat to use. First, fat is removed from trouble areas via liposuction, slimming those areas down. The harvested fat is then purified and injected into the buttocks to enhance volume; and to improve the overall shape.
As if those weren’t advantageous enough, below are 4 more major benefits of the Brazilian Butt Lift:
1. Minimally Invasive
The butt lift portion of the procedure requires no surgery; as your fat is injected into the buttocks for reshaping. However, a short recovery time of 7 to 10 days is needed after the fat is harvested from your hips, thighs, or abdomen with liposuction. Just a couple of tiny incisions are created to permanently remove the unwanted fat from your body. This results in firmer and more attractive contours.
There are some risks associated with liposuction, including an abnormal reaction to anesthesia and infection. But these cases are rare and can often be easily avoided.
3. Lasting Results
The fat cells that are harvested during liposuction are permanently removed from the donor site. Even if the patient gains a significant amount of weight in the future, the areas that have been contoured using liposuction are likely to maintain their improved shape. Additionally, once the injected fat has successfully grafted to the body, it is there for good. Weight fluctuations can alter the size, but your new butt retains its shape.
4. Effective
Since some of the fat injected into the buttocks gets metabolized by the body, it is common practice to inject more fat than is needed to produce long-lasting results. Typically, the body absorbs about 20 percent of the injected fat, and the remainder will provide long-term improved contour to the buttocks. Injecting extra fat ensures that what does graft successfully is desirable.
With great pride, I specialize in buttocks enhancement via fat transfer. Although I do offer butt augmentation with the use of silicone implants, there is nothing like using a person’s own fat to sculpt his or her butt into a more flattering shape and size.*
My travels throughout the world, most recently to Europe and Chicago, have allowed me to lecture on my “Highlight Liposculpting and Lipo Fat Transfer” 3-D approach.
It has taken me about five to seven years to fully develop my 3-D approach. Through my teaching and studies, I have come to define the three variables that allow me to produce beautiful results.
Dr. Mendieta: Butt Enhancement Plastic Surgeon
The doctor (variable #1) who performs butt enhancement surgery via fat transfer must have the skills to do so.* As I continue to take part in symposiums and answer the questions of renowned medical professionals everywhere, it is clear that having an open-mind and open eye are crucial traits that will allow the doctor to become comfortable with this procedure.* I believe that the minute a person closes him or herself off and is held captive to self-imposed limits, the less the doctor will accomplish for the patient.* This is also a relevant philosophy to all individuals – closing yourself off means the less you will accomplish in life.
The technique (variable #2) – Buttocks enhancement via fat transfer – begins with liposculpting a certain area, or multiple areas, of the body. By suctioning excess fat from places such as the thighs, arms, or stomach, I am able to then harvest the fat and prepare it for butt enhancement after reshaping the original liposculpting sites. I perform this fat grafting procedure with precision and an extreme attention-to-detail, producing natural-looking, enhanced results.*
Before a surgeon performs this technique, however, it is important that he or she understands that this method is no cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all approach. It should be based on the patient’s anatomy (variable #3). All surgeons typically know why it is important to understand the patient’s body. But I ask the question: Now what are the differences?
The Highlight Liposculpting and Lipo Fat Transfer Approach
Although two women may choose the same procedure, their bodies are definitely not the same – their shapes are distinctive, the fat is stored differently, and their goals are unique. The Highlight Liposculpting and Lipo Fat Transfer 3-D approach provides me the opportunity to fully sculpt the buttocks, and in many cases its surrounding areas, using the patient’s anatomy as my compass.*
There are always possibilities and ways to improve upon my technique. This is why it is important to always think “outside the box;” the minute you begin making judgment, the more likely you are to create a bad experience.
Patients expect beautiful results, and through conscientious effort and perseverance, that is what we must deliver.
*Con el predominio que tienen las redes sociales de internet y el incremento de la apreciación hacia la parte posterior (los glúteos) en estos días, no, nos sorprende cuando vemos que una de las nuevas tendencias en las redes sociales es la publicación continua de fotos mostrando los glúteos (“selfies”), mejor conocida como “Belfie.” Jen Selter, modelo de ejercicios se ha convertido en una sensación en Instagram por esa sencilla razón, ella ha publicado continuamente fotos de su trasero “Belfies”, e inclusive celebridades se han dejado llevar por esta nueva manía. Estas fotos son publicadas a lo largo y ancho de las redes sociales, y en muchas ocasiones mis pacientes vienen con Belfies de celebridades o de sus amigas, en lugar de buscar fotos en revistas como lo hacían con anterioridad para darme una idea de los glúteos que desean obtener. En su mayoría los pacientes que se han sometido al aumento de los glúteos, dicen que se sienten complacidas con la nueva apariencia de su derriere, debido que se ven, se sienten y están, tan voluptuosos como las que andan circulando en las redes sociales.*
*Me siento muy honrado de la mención que se hizo de mi trabajo como cirujano plástico en la publicación de noticias Monsters & Critics (Monstruos y Críticos) en el artículo del mes de Julio 15 en donde se hace referencia al hablar de “Pioneros de Glúteos que han Preparado el Camino de La Reina Belfie en las Redes Sociales”. Ellos resaltaron mis presentaciones anteriores en los medios de comunicación, en donde he discutido mi “técnica innovadora de la transferencia de la grasa, como la técnica que proporcionara una apariencia natural del contorno de los glúteos” y de mi libro, El Arte de Escupir los Glúteos, el cual ha sido utilizado como referencia por cirujanos plásticos en el mundo entero. Mientras ellos me apodan “El Pionero del Trasero”, me hace feliz saber que puedo ayudar a otros cirujanos y así mismo a mis pacientes a adquirir la confianza anhelada al someterse a este tipo se procedimiento.*

Dr. Mendieta understands that people have different views of beauty. And he tailors his butt enhancement procedures to meet each patient’s individual desires.* During an initial consultation, Dr. Mendieta evaluates the patient to determine the most appropriate technique for their condition that will meet their enhancement goals.*
With his technique, Dr. Mendieta strategically injects the liposuctioned fat into the buttocks to enhance the size and shape in relation to the rest of the body.* Dr. Mendieta can combine this method with his other techniques to further improve the contours of the butt to achieve the ideal shape and size.*
Miami Thong lift*
This technique deals with the inner portion of the buttocks along the crease and where the buttocks meet the legs (known as the inner gluteal fold). The ideal buttocks and legs do not have fullness at the gluteal fold; and unite upward into a 45-degree A-shaped angle between the cheeks. As the fullness at the gluteal fold increases, the angle between the buttocks and the legs becomes more horizontal (90 degrees). And the aesthetics of the buttocks begins to decrease. As more fat builds up and the butt sags down, the 45 degree angle inverses and a V-shaped angle develops (also known as the “dirty diaper look).”
The technique to correct these conditions is called the Miami Thong Lift because it hides the incisions along the inside of the crease between the buttocks where a thong would go.* Patients with the simplest degree of sagging (those close to the 90 degree angle) can benefit from liposuction through a tiny incision to remove the fullness that exists.*
Those with a greater degree of sagging and fullness at the gluteal crease will require longer incisions for liposuction.* For more extensive conditions, Dr. Mendieta can also create a suture suspension that will lift the buttocks.*

El Dr. Mendieta entiende perfectamente que cada persona tiene un concepto diferente en cuanto a belleza se refiere, por lo tanto el ha diseñado los procedimientos que el utiliza para el aumento de los glúteos, para poder alcanzar los metas personales de cada uno de sus pacientes.* El toma en consideración la figura en general del paciente antes de realizar algún trabajo de levantamiento o modelación de los glúteos, para poder determinar cuál será la mejor técnica a utilizar para mejorar la apariencia de estos, haciéndolo de manera uniforme con el resto del cuerpo.* El Dr. Mendieta utiliza dos técnicas que son de las más populares para el embellecimiento del los glúteos; la primera es la técnica de Highlight Lipoescultura y lipo transferencia o injerto de la grasa en 3-D, la segunda es El levantamiento de la Tanga estilo Miami.*
Highlight Lipoescultura y la Lipo Transferencia de la Grasa 3-D*
Una de las técnicas más populares del aumento de los glúteos es la del injerto o transferencia de la grasa, mejor conocido como Aumento de los Glúteos estilo Brasileño. Este método remueve el exceso de grasa en áreas estratégicas del cuerpo, después de que la grasa es preparada, se transferirá en los glúteos para hacerlos lucir más grandes, también se podrá corregir otras áreas con problemas que no sean relacionadas con el tamaño.* Con la técnica del Dr. Mendieta, el inyectara la grasa succionada en los glúteos para embellecer el tamaño y contorno en proporción con el resto del cuerpo. El Dr. Mendieta podría combinar este método con otras técnicas para mejorar el contorno del derriere, y así alcanzar el tamaño y contorno deseado.*
Levantamiento de la Tanga estilo Miami*
Esta técnica se especializa en la parte baja de los glúteos así como el área en donde las nalgas crecen y se conectan con las piernas, conocido como el área interior en donde el glúteo o los pliegues terminan. Los glúteos ideales son aquellos en donde las piernas no tienen volumen en donde los glúteos de doblan y se unen a 45 grados en forma de A en el ángulo entre las nalgas.* Así como el volumen de los glúteos en donde se dobla se incrementa, el ángulo entre los glúteos y las piernas se hacen más horizontal (90 grados), y la estética del derriere empieza a disminuir. Mientras más grasa se genera en los glúteos esto provoca que los glúteos se caigan, aproximadamente a unos 45 grados en un ángulo inverso en forma de V, dando una apariencia de pañal sucio.*
La étnica para corregir este problema se le conoce como el Levantamiento de la Tanga estilo Miami, porque esconde las incisiones en el pliegue del interior de los glúteos y en donde la tanga debe ir.* Pacientes con glúteos caídos a un grado simple de un ángulo de (90 grados) se podrían beneficiar de la liposucción a través de una pequeña incisión para remover el volumen que provoca la caída de los glúteos. Aquellos pacientes con un grado extremo de flacidez en los glúteos en el área del derriere, requerirán de incisiones más prolongadas para poder realizar la liposucción. Para condiciones extremas, el Dr. Mendieta podrá ayudarle con una técnica de suspensión que le permitirá levantar los glúteos.*
