In recent years, the buttocks have received an increasing amount of attention. Well-known actresses such as Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian have popularized the appeal of full and curvaceous buttocks.
However, it’s not easy to get a full, accentuated buttock contour through diet and exercise. Dr. Parker offers buttock augmentation, often called a Brazilian butt lift, in Paramus to help patients from Hackensack, Ridgewood, Mahwah, Somerset, and throughout Bergen County, North New Jersey augment and reshape their buttocks with their own fat.
Featured
In well-trained hands, a Brazilian butt lift is a safe and effective procedure that most often combines liposuction from one or more areas (most commonly, the abdomen, hips, waist, outer thighs, and/or lower back) with the injection of purified fat from these areas, called fat transfer, into the buttocks.
It creates a “win-win” situation for you because fat is reduced where you don’t want it and put where you do. A Brazilian butt lift provides a long-lasting enhancement of your buttocks and surrounding areas, giving you a younger, firmer, and perkier look.
If you’re unhappy with the shape of or lack of definition in your hips and buttocks, a Brazilian butt lift can help you:

At the Parker Center for Plastic Surgery in Paramus, New Jersey, the cost for a Brazilian butt lift will depend on your anatomy, desired results, and the complexity of the procedure. At your consultation with Dr. Parker, we will provide a detailed price quote that includes surgeon’s fees, operating room and anesthesia costs, supplies, and preop and postoperative care.
The best candidates for this procedure have an adequate amount of fat in the surrounding areas, such as the abdomen, hips, waist, outer thighs, and lower back. Reshaping these areas with liposuction will significantly improve their appearance alone. In addition, there will be adequate fat to build out the buttocks as desired by the patient.
Very thin patients can be more difficult to treat, as they will typically not have much fat to transfer. In these cases, patients may consider buttock implants. Dr. Parker is reluctant to utilize buttock implants because of the risks associated with the procedure, including infection, poor positioning of the implants, capsular contraction, and implant extrusion. Instead, the combination of liposuction with fat grafting is a safer technique whereby we consistently achieve excellent aesthetic outcomes resulting in happy patients.
We believe plastic surgery should be accessible to as many people as possible. That’s why we offer financing through lenders that specialize in setting up payment plans for elective cosmetic surgery. We can discuss financing during your consultation.
Learn More About Financing OptionsButtock augmentation surgery with liposuction usually takes 2 to 3 hours, depending on the amount of liposuction performed. The surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure in Surgiplex, LLC, our fully certified ambulatory surgical facility, under either intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. You should be able to go home after spending an hour or two in our recovery suite.
While there is some variation among individual patients, liposuction is most commonly performed on the abdomen, hips, waist, outer thighs, and lower back. This alone creates a better framework around the buttocks and improves their appearance.
Next, Dr. Parker separates out the favorable fat cells for reinjection. Once it is prepared, he meticulously injects this fat into the subcutaneous tissue of the buttocks. In keeping with “best practices,” Dr. Parker will inject only this more superficial layer and not the deeper tissues such as muscle to avoid the complication of fat embolism. Dr. Parker will usually inject from 300 cc to 600 cc of fat per buttock. In doing so, Dr. Parker augments the size and shapes the buttocks so they will appear fuller, perkier, and more uplifted.
Consultations at the Parker Center are special. Dr. Parker will spend extra time with you, ensuring that he understands your goals and that you are fully educated about each potential solution. Additionally, our imaging expert will help you see the possibilities with digital photo imaging to show you what you will look like after surgery. Patients who are comparing providers often tell us our consults are the most thorough and informative they’ve ever experienced!
One to two weeks before your scheduled Brazilian butt lift surgery, you will undergo a one-hour, in-office, face-to-face education session with one of Dr. Parker’s Nurse Educators. During this session, the nurse educator thoroughly reviews a detailed information packet to further educate you about your procedure. This includes a discussion of what to do to prepare for surgery, what occurs on the day of surgery, and what to expect after surgery during your recovery. It’s a detailed session that really educates our patients about the entire surgical process at the Parker Center. Patients tell us they love it because they feel so well-prepared for their surgery. Learn more about what to expect during your pre-op education session.
Patients immediately notice their fuller buttocks and the improved shape of the surrounding areas that have undergone liposuction. There is very little, if any, pain from the fat injections to the buttocks. While everyone is a little different, patients typically feel somewhat sore and uncomfortable in the areas that have undergone liposuction. They often describe it as feeling like they “over-exercised at the gym.”
You’ll be sent home in a compression garment that can be removed to shower the day following surgery. Depending on your individual skin tone and areas of the body treated, you can expect to wear the compression garment for 1 to 3 weeks. We ask patients to sit on a soft “doughnut” for several weeks after a butt lift to minimize pressure on the buttocks and protect the fat injection sites. Typically, patients return to daily living activities within several days, including a return to work. Exercise usually begins within several weeks.
The Parker Center’s Rapid Recovery techniques used during and after Brazilian butt lift surgery help you heal more rapidly and comfortably than what you might experience at another practice. This means less time off from work and a sooner return to your normal activities.
Dr. Parker’s Rapid Recovery protocol includes:
The day after your surgery, you can shower and resume light activities. We encourage you to move around briefly starting the first day to boost circulation.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort, and the dissolvable sutures don’t need removal. If you have a desk job, plan to take several days off. You can usually start light exercise within 2 weeks and upper body exercises within 3 to 4 weeks. You should be back to unrestricted activity in 4 to 6 weeks.
We encourage you to move around briefly starting the first day to boost circulation.
Our Signature
Our surgical procedures, anesthesia, medications, and aftercare are tailored to minimize post-operative discomfort and accelerate recuperation.
Learn MoreOur experience in performing many of these procedures over the years has shown us that approximately 50 to 60% of the fat injected into the buttocks by Dr. Parker becomes integrated with the original buttock fat. Once this transferred fat has been incorporated into the existing fat, it seems to survive and live on like the rest of the fat. Therefore, the results are long-lasting. Dr. Parker has had patients come back to see him 10 years after a Brazilian butt lift and their results look like they did several months after surgery.
This patient is shown before and 7 years after Dr. Parker performed her Brazilian butt lift surgery. As you can see, she has maintained aesthetically pleasing, natural curves for years.
