What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Some areas of the body, including the buttocks, can be difficult to contour through diet and exercise. Whether you have lost dramatic weight that has caused sagging or have genetics that didn’t provide a full, curvaceous derriere, Dr. Slenkovich can help you achieve your aesthetic goals and enhance your appearance with some of the best results that a Brazilian butt lift Denver has to offer.
When undergoing a Brazilian butt lift, it’s important to understand that the results of the procedure will largely depend on the amount of existing fat and tissue in the buttocks, the amount of fat transferred from elsewhere on your body, and the quality of blood flow to the area. We encourage you to read our testimonials and view our before and after photos. Individual patient experiences and results may vary.
The Brazilian butt lift is a form of buttocks augmentation that uses fat transfer to the buttocks to enhance contours, sculpt the frame and relocate sagging tissue to naturally provide a firm, sculpted derriere. Unwanted fat cells are taken from areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, lower back, or thighs via liposuction. These cells are gently prepared before being injected into the gluteus muscles. The fat cells are injected into the buttocks through tiny incisions providing a smooth, round contour without any unnatural lumps.
Dr. Nick's Technique
Dr. Slenkovich uses a fat transfer technique for his Brazilian butt lift procedures. This involves identifying an area of the body with a sufficient amount of excess fat to effectively augment the buttocks. This excess fat is then carefully removed before being treated and injected into the butt and surrounding area. This means that the ultimate results of the procedure will depend on how much extra fat you have available to be transferred.
During your Denver butt augmentation, Dr. Slenkovich not only focuses on injecting the fat into the buttocks, but he also concentrates on defining the areas surrounding the buttocks, including the small of the back, thighs, hips, and base of the butt. By using liposuction in these areas he can enhance the body’s natural curves and refine the appearance of the buttocks creating an elegant contour.
Aside from giving the buttocks more volume, Dr. Slenkovich sculpts these areas that frame the buttocks using liposuction to give patients a smoother, more accentuated contour in the areas of the circumferential trunk, flanks, and upper and lower back. This framing method gives the appearance of a fuller, shapelier backside without the need to go much bigger. This technique enhances the buttocks as well as accentuates the curvature of the lower back.

Who is a Good Candidate for Fat Transfer to the Buttocks?
This procedure is not exclusive to only those who desire a significant increase in the size of their bottom. Whether you want to maintain your current size, go a bit larger, or get a more dramatic change in size, this procedure is for you. The combination of adding volume with framing the surrounding areas like the midsection and back will enhance the overall buttock, adding a fuller, rounder, sexier shape.
An ideal candidate for our Brazilian Butt Lift in Denver is:
- in good health
- looking to achieve a fuller backside
- has an optimal amount of unwanted body fat in another area
- has reasonable expectations for the surgery
Potential patients will meet with Dr. Nick for an initial consultation to determine if they are a candidate for butt augmentation with body sculpting. During the consultation, Dr. Nick will perform an examination, evaluate your medical history and discuss your goals to determine if a Brazilian butt lift is the best treatment option for you.

- Brazilian butt lift is an outpatient procedure, but you will need your caretaker to drive you home and be there to support you for a week to ten days.
- Wear your garments as instructed by Dr. Slenkovich. These provide support to the areas where liposuction was performed as well as the buttocks. You may remove them for showers.
- Limit the amount of time you sit directly on your buttocks for the first 1-2 weeks post-surgery. Sit only when necessary with a pillow or cushion to avoid direct pressure on your buttocks.
- Walk as soon as possible post-procedure to reduce swelling and increase circulation to lower the risk of blood clots.
- Work: Most patients return to work within two weeks following their procedure.
- Sleeping: Avoid pressure on your buttocks by sleeping on your stomach or sides.
- Exercise: Avoid strenuous exercise and activities for 4-8 weeks.
- Week 1-2: No cardio or strength training exercises. We do want you walking to continue to get the blood flowing. Yoga-like stretching is also recommended.
- Week 3-5: You may perform light cardio on the elliptical or stationary bike (if the seat is comfortable). Fast-paced walking is also an available option.
- Week 6-8: More vigorous exercise activities may be resumed as long as you have recovered optimally. This includes running, sports activities, and weight lifting/strength training.
Timeline for a Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure
Consultation
Examine where the fat will be harvested from and learn about Dr. Slenkovich’s sculpting techniques.
Consultation: Dr. Slenkovich and our patient coordinator will talk with you about what your goals are, answer any questions you may have, review your medical history, and develop a customized surgical plan. During your Denver butt augmentation consultation, Dr. Slenkovich will examine your body and speak with you about the sites for the liposuction as well as fat transfer. He will also work with you to determine the ideal area to harvest excess fat from as well as the magnitude of the results you can expect. He will go over his surgical technique, including the sculpting of the lower back and buttocks to achieve a round shape. Pricing and surgical dates for your specific surgical plan will be discussed. The personalized, in-depth consultation usually takes about 90 minutes.
Pre-Op

She will answer any additional questions you may have, and thoroughly review what to expect for your surgery and recovery. Dr. Slenkovich will also meet with you to finalize your surgical plan and answer any questions. This is also a good time to add in vitamin and protein supplements to prepare your body for optimal healing after surgery if you have not done so already.
