LARSENChoosing a plastic surgeon is an important decision. Dr. Alan Larsen is a double-board certied surgeon with over 20 years of surgical experience. He earned his medical degree from the University of Nevada School of Medicine. Then moved across the country and began his 5-year general surgery residency at the University of Florida, Jacksonville campus. After only 4 years as a general surgery resident, he advanced to the chief resident during his 5th year. Soon after, he was granted admission to the plastic surgery fellowship at Wake Forest University’s Baptist Hospital. Which happens to be one of the country’s most demanding plastic surgery programs. After his plastic surgery fellowship, Dr. Larsen traveled throughout the country and trained with some of the most renowned cosmetic surgeons in the country. Eventually, he settled in Atlanta where he established his cosmetic surgery practice in the prestigious Buckhead district of north Atlanta. Today, Alan N. Larsen MD offers 6 distinct brands to better serve his growing patient needs: Buckhead Plastic Surgery, LUX Med Spa, Chastain Hormone Therapy, Chastain Surgery Center, Chastain Weight Loss Center, and Chastain Hydrobar.

INTRO TO BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFTA Brazilian Butt Lift is a specialized fat transfer surgery that augments the size and shape of the buttocks without implants. Many men and women nd that because of genetics or aging, they are unable to achieve the bodily contours they want. Even with appropriate diet and exercise, sometimes ideal results are unachievable without surgery. In some cases, patients desire a more balanced gure and feel like a lift or augmentation could help. If you are unhappy with the shape of your buttocks or believe your silhouette could use some sculpting, a Brazilian Butt Lift might be a good option for you. Patients who are good candidates for this surgery feel like their buttocks doesn’t match or t the desired silhouette of their body. Some patients are looking for a curvier, youthful gure, and others want to look more athletic. Whatever your goals are, Dr. Larsen can guide you through all your options and help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Patients who have received this procedure have found it can enhance the curves on the lower half of their body, as well as reduce fat pockets on the hips, thighs, or belly. It can provide a youthful, more pleasing shape, as well as help your clothing to t better. This surgery is usually an outpatient procedure, although it does require a few weeks of recovery at home. Most patients say the recovery from this procedure is straightforward, and the pain is minimal. Recovery includes a few weeks of lifestyle modications and the results can last for years. 4

WHAT IS BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT?In a traditional Buttock Augmentation, an implant or fat grafting is used (or even a combination of the two procedures) to improve the size and contour and shape of the buttocks. Buttock implants are typically silicone-lled devices that are surgically placed within the tissue of the buttocks. However, in the Brazilian Butt Lift, fat is rst removed from other areas of the body through a liposuction process. Subsequently, it is grafted and resculpted to enhance the shape of your buttocks. Most patients are pleased with the results of this redistribution of fat, to a more aesthetically pleasing proportion. 5

WHAT CAN BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT TREAT?Before any cosmetic procedure, it’s important to gain an understanding of what this surgery can accomplish. The Brazilian Butt Lift can increase the fullness, and contours of your buttocks. It can improve the roundness and projection of your buttocks which lessens naturally with age, as well as balancing your overall gure.While buttock augmentation procedures typically focus on resculpting the soft tissue on the buttocks, a lift can often be accomplished by surgical removal of soft tissue. If you aren’t sure what technique is best for your optimal results, call us today to schedule your consultation. Factors like aging, pregnancy, sun damage, signicant weight uctuations, and genetic factors may contribute to poor tissue elasticity that can result in sagging of the buttocks. Alift can improve the shape and tone of the underlying tissue that supports fat and skin in the buttock area.6

They have realistic expectations of what this procedure can accomplish and are committed to living a healthy lifestyle that includes appropriate nutrition and tness.7

THE PROCEDURES STEPS WITH DR. LARSENLike most cosmetic procedures, the Brazilian Butt Lift starts with anesthesia. The next step is Liposuction. Liposuction will be performed through small incisions. First, local anesthesia will be administered to the affected area, then a thin surgical tool called a cannula is inserted into the incision to loosen excess fat. The fat is then removed from the body using a surgical vacuum or syringe attached to the cannula. It is common to perform liposuction on the lower back, hips and the area below the buttocks. This helps accentuate the buttocks.The next step is the fat injection. The tissue and fat removed through liposuction are processed and the surgeon will then use a cannula to add fat to the buttocks through tiny injections. Dr. Larson will take into account your preferences combined with his professional experience to obtain exactly the contour you are hoping to achieve. 9

HOW DOES RECOVERY WORK AFTER A BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT?You will likely wake up from surgery with bandages and dressings over the incisions. It’s also common for small plastic tubes to be placed around the incision to drain uid away from the incision site. This helps minimize swelling as you heal. It is also likely you will be wearing or be instructed to wear a compression garment. (This also aids in the reduction of swelling.) Returning home from the hospital, we will send you with post-op care instructions. These instructions will include specic notes on how to care for your dressing and what pain meds you can take. Most patients will take pain meds for the rst few days, but then can manage their discomfort with ibuprofen. Recovering from your surgery will require some lifestyle adjustments. You will not be allowed to sit or lie on your buttocks for 3 weeks after your surgery. This is an important time for your newly placed tissue, as it establishes a blood supply. Sitting can impair blood ow to the new tissue and cause the results of your enhancement to fail. 10

Eventually, Dr. Larsen will allow you to sit in a modied position on a donut or air pillow. This helps avoid putting pressure directly on the buttocks as your body heals. Normal sitting can be resumed after 8 weeks. Although most patients can resume many of their daily activities within 10-14 days and some even return to work within a few weeks. Dr. Larson will help determine the best path of healing for you with your optimal results in mind. Patients often opt for this procedure to obtain a curvier, more youthful or athletic gure. Results from this surgery are considered nal after about 6 months post-surgery. By that point, any residual swelling has gone away and your body has had a chance to fully heal. The results are expected to last many years.However, extreme weight uctuations can affect your surgical results. For the longest-lasting optimal results, you will want to maintain your weight by eating a healthy diet of nutrient-rich foods, exercising, and of course avoid smoking. If you are curious about what your specic results would be, the best place to start is with a consultation. Call Dr. Larson’s ofce today and schedule your consultation. 11
