In this article, Detroit area board certified plastic surgeon Doctor Ali has put together a “checklist” of the decisions you will need to make when deciding upon breast implantsurgery.
☐ Plastic Surgeon
Your surgical team – including your plastic surgeon, nurses, and anesthetist – is the most important decision you need to make.
Make sure to inquire about the number of breast implant surgeries your plastic surgeon has performed, as well as whether he or she is board certified.
Detroit area plastic surgeon Doctor Ali is double board certified, and has performed thousands of breast implants. In addition to being voted one of Hour Detroit’s “Top Docs” – many doctors seek out Doctor Ali when they need plastic surgery for themselves and their families.
☐ Type of Breast Implant
Silicone breast implants are filled with silicone gel, which feels remarkably like natural breast tissue. Saline breast implants are filled with sterile salt water. While they do provide a uniform shape, firmness and feel, they are less popular than silicone implants because they do not feel as “natural”.

Pregnancy, Breast Feeding and Breast Implants
/in Breast Augmentation, Breast Enlargement, Breast Implant /by adminPregnancy, Breast Feeding and Breast Implants –
Detroit area board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali has performed thousands of breast implant surgeries on women before and after pregnancy. Many women wonder the effect of breast implants, if any, on pregnancy and breastfeeding. about In this article Doctor Ali answers your questions about breast implants and pregnancy or breastfeeding.
No Breast Implants for Women who are Pregnant or Nursing
While it seems like “common sense” it is important to note that breast implant surgery should not be performed on a woman who is pregnant or nursing. However, women may get breast augmentation surgery before or after becoming pregnant and/or nursing.
Always ensure you are not pregnant before undergoing breast implants, taking a pregnancy test if there is any doubt or possibility that you may be carrying a child.
Breast Implants Before Becoming Pregnant
Some patients have asked us if having silicone gel breast implants could harm babies whose mothers became pregnant after getting breast augmentation.
We understand that nothing is more important to you than the health of your children! There is no evidence to shows that silicone breast implants have any harmful effects on children born to women with implants.
Two clinical studies in humans have found that there is NO increase in the risk of birth defects in children conceived and born after a women has had breast implant surgery.
Breast Implants Effect on Breast Feeding
In some women, there is a very small possibility that breast implant surgery might interfere with the ability to breastfeed. A very small percentage of women who have had breast augmentation surgery produce less milk, or are note able to produce milk at all. Some women with breast implants have also reported that breastfeeding is somewhat more painful after having breast implants.
In a study conducted on MemoryShape™ Breast Implants (the type of implant Dr. Ali uses), only four of the 44 breast augmentation patients who attempted to breast feed following breast implant surgery experienced difficulty. This means that 91% of the women in the study who attempted to breast feed after receiving breast implants had no difficulty.
The type of surgical technique used seems to have some effect on the likelihood of breastfeeding difficulties. For example, peri-areolar surgical approach (in which the surgeon uses an incision around the areola/nipple) has a slightly higher incidence of breastfeeding difficulties than other techniques.
Studies have also measured silicon levels in breast milk. Those studies did not indicate higher levels of silicon in breast milk from women with silicone gel breast implants when compared to women who did not have implants.
In fact, The Institute of Medicine (IOM) and The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) both have issued statements encouraging women with breast implants to breastfeed, stating that “Breastfeeding should be encouraged in all mothers when possible, including those with silicone breast implants.”

Caring for Your Breast Implants
/in Breast Augmentation, Breast Enlargement, Breast Implant /by adminBreast Implants: Mammograms & Long Term Care –
Just as there are some things you should do to make sure your breasts stay healthy, there are also steps you should follow to care of your breast implants over time. Mammograms, breast exams, protecting your implants from certain types of damage, and regularly monitoring for breast implants for rupture are all very important.
Mammograms and Breast Implants
Whether or not a woman has breast implants, having a mammogram is the best way to detect breast cancer. However, there are some unique mammogram considerations for women with breast implants.
Breast implants can make it harder for the technician to perform a mammogram. Breast implants can also make it harder to identify breast cancer on a mammogram.
As every woman knows, the mammogram machine squeezes the breast to make it flat while taking a picture. The pressure from this squeezing could make your implant rupture or cause gel bleed.
Be sure to tell the mammogram technologist that you have breast implants before the procedure, so she can use special techniques to get the best possible views of your breast tissue, taking steps to ensure that your breast implants will not rupture due to the mammogram. Show your Device Identification Card (that you will receive after surgery) to the mammography technician.
Breast surgeons recommend having a mammogram before your breast implant surgery to establish a “baseline” for comparison in the future. Then women are encouraged to have another mammogram 6 months to 1 year after your implant surgery to establish another ”baseline” with the breast implant present.
After that women with breast implants should have a mammogram every 1 to 2 years, or as advised by their doctor, just as women without breast implants should do.
Other Breast Exams with Breast Implants
You should also perform self-breast exams once a month. After your period ends, is a good time to examine your breasts. Your doctor can show you how to do a self-breast exam, and teach you to tell the difference between your breast implant and breast tissue. If you see or feel that something has changed, talk to your doctor promptly.
It can sometimes be hard for you to feel changes in your breast when the implant is there, so it is important to have regular breast exams by a doctor, as well.
Preventing Breast Implant Rupture
Breast implant are quite durable, and are built to handle day to day bumps, hugs, and other everyday activities. Most surgeons indicate that you can even continue to participate in sports without restrictions. So it is not necessary to be overly concerned about rupture. However, physical trauma (e.g. an auto accident or fall), excessive repetitive wear and tear, can lead to a rupture in some cases.
A medical condition called capsular contracture can also cause rupture in a very small percentage of breast implants. Massaging your breasts regularly can help keep the surrounding soft and malleable, and prevent capsular contracture. Always alert your plastic surgeon if you notice the formation of any hardened scar tissue so that he can intervene before a rupture occurs.
If you or your doctor suspect a rupture or “gel bleed” of your breast implants, an MRI should be taken as soon as possible. An MRI is the best way to detect breast implant ruptures or leaks.

How a Brazilian Butt Lift is Performed
/in Brazilian butt lift /by adminThe Brazilian Butt Lift Process –
Bloomfield Hills area board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali has helped hundreds of women get a firm, toned, shapely behind with Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery. In this article he explains the Brazilian Butt Lift process.
Take a moment to read the information below. Then call Bloomfield Hills double board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali for a consultration – and finallyget the beautiful curves you’ve always wanted with a Brazilian Butt Lift!
Step #1. Brazilian Butt Lift Extraction
First, the patient’s body fat is sucked out of unwanted areas using a small tube by liposuction. Common locations to extract fat are the back (directly above the butt), the stomach area, the flanks or “love handles” and the thighs.
So, in addition to getting a rounder buttocks, the patient also receives the benefit of a smaller waist and/or thighs!
A fine thin cannula (tube) is used to remove the fat in order to get smooth even liposuction results. If a large cannula is used, the fat will come out faster, but the liposuction results may not be as smooth.
Step #2. Brazilian Butt Lift Processing
Next, the extracted fat is processed and purified through centrifugation – which spins the cells to remove unwanted body tissue, dead or unhealthy cells and toxins or debris.
This procedure doesn’t just transfer fat, but rather transfers the cells that store the fat. This way the fat cells survive in their new location, and continue to store fat in the patient’s behind.
For this reason, laser liposuction, ultrasonic liposuction, and even power assisted liposuction are less ideal, as they all will damage more fat cells.
Step #3. Brazilian Butt Lift Re-Injection
Once purified, the surgeon will use only the best donor fat cells to be reinjected into the butt. This is where the doctor’s skill, experience and and artistry comes into play!
Typically, hundreds of tiny microinjections of fat, at various depths, are made to ensure that the fat is distributed evenly and attractively in the buttocks. . If the fat is injected in large quantities at once (instead of small quantity injections), it may not take permanently.
Previously, surgeons implanted the fat into multiple levels – below, within and above the muscle. However, it has been determined that injecting the fat below the muscle puts a patient at an increased risk of serious complications from potential blood clots. Today, the safest and most reputable plastic surgeons like Dr. Ali approach the procedure cautiously and conservatively and only insert the fat cells above the muscles.
Make sure you only consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who is well-experienced with Brazilian Butt Lift procedures.

What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
/in Brazilian butt lift /by adminWhat Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Birmingham board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali has helped hundreds of women get a firm, toned, shapely behind with Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery. In this article he explains the Brazilian Butt Lift.
Take a moment to read the information below. Then call Bloomfield Hills double board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali for a consultration – and finallyget the beautiful curves you’ve always wanted with a Brazilian Butt Lift!
A Brazilian Butt Lift is a procedure that transfers a patient’s own fat cells (usually from the abdomen, “love handles,” back or thigh) to their behind area. A skilled plastic surgeon effectively “sculpts” the body by removing fat from unwanted areas (using liposuctions) – and then using that fat to plump and round the buttocks.
A good candidates for a Brazilian Butt Lift should be close to their ideal weight, but have enough fat to be removed by liposuction, for injection into their behind.
Buttock augmentation by way of fat transfer (Brazilian buttock lift) is usually performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure with patients going home the same day.
Brazilian Butt Lift Techniques
Brazilian butt lift techniques can vary greatly from surgeon, to surgeon. And while the procedure sounds pretty straightforward, it can be very risky if performed improperly by a doctor who is not skilled.
Dr. Ali is a double board certified plastic surgeon who has performed hundreds of Brazilian butt lifts safely and without complication. This is because Dr. Ali takes a very cautious and conservative approach to Brazilian butt lift surgery.
How Long does a Brazilian Butt Lift Take?
Because of the meticulous way the fat has to be extracted through a fine tube (liposuction), then processed, and finally reinjected using hundreds of injections, the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure is time consuming.
Typically, a Brazilian Butt Lift will take from 2 to 6 hours, depending on the amount of liposuction performed and the amount of fat to be reinjected into your buttocks.
Generally, the liposuction of 3 areas takes a minimum of 2 to 3 hours. The fat processing varies but some of it can be done simultaneously. And then the fat reinjection typically takes a minimum of 1 to 3 hours.
A Brazilian butt lift always happens in three stages: harvesting or extraction, processing, and re-injection.

Celebrities Who have had Brazilian Butt Lifts
/in Brazilian butt lift /by adminCelebrities Who have had Brazilian Butt Lifts –
In the early 2000’s it was often said that that Jennifer Lopez did for the “rear end” what Pamela Anderson did for the “front end.” Today, with the popularity of the curvy Kardashian sisters, shapely buttocks have received more press coverage than ever before.
Buttock augmentation – or a “butt lift” – can reshape and improve the appearance of the entire lower back and buttock region. Many celebrities prefer a “natural” Brazilian Butt Lift over artificial Butt Implants.
A Brazilian Butt Lift is accomplished by performing liposuction of fat from other areas of the body – and then transferring the fatty tissue into the buttock area to create a rounder, perkier appearing buttock.
This type of “fat transfer” is favored over artificial “butt implants” because it gives a much softer, natural result. This type of surgery can improve both size and shape of the buttocks, as well as achieve a more proportionate hip-to-waist ratio for the most feminine curves.
A “Brazilian Butt Lift” will not only reshape the buttock region, it can also reshape the entire lower back and hips in order to creating an overall more aesthetically pleasing silhouette and body contour. A skilled plastic surgeon like Dr. Ali can sculpt the body to achieve the most attractive and feminine proportions.

Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery (Part One)
/in Brazilian butt lift /by adminBrazilian Butt Lift Recovery (Part 1)
–
How long is the recovery from a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Everybody heals differently. Ability to heal can depend upon age, overall health, genetics and how extensive your procedure was.
Brazilian Butt Lift patients generally take anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks off from work to recover.
Birmingham Double Board Certified plastic surgeon generally recommends that patients avoid sitting directly on their buttocks for at least two weeks. After that, sitting on a “boppy” type pillow, is recommended to put pressure on the thighs instead of the butt.
Patients will generally be advised to wear a compression garment for up to six weeks after their Brazilian Butt Lift to decrease bruising and swelling and to help loose skin retract.
The general swelling will generally improve substantially after two weeks. It may take four to eight weeks to improve completely, and the underlying inflammation from the liposuction can last several more months.
Activity After a Brazilian Butt Lift
It is generally recommended that strenuous exercise be avoided for about a month to six weeks. This enables the newly transferred fat cells an opportunity to survive long-term. Light aerobic activity and weight training can typically be resumes few weeks after surgery, with your Dr.’s permission.
However, movements like gentle stretching and walking can assist in the healing process and should typically begin the day after your procedure. Dr. Ali will provide you with specific after care instructions.
Generally patients are also advised to sleep on their sides or their stomach during the first couple weeks.
It is always important to follow your doctor’s specific instructions for after care to achieve the best results.
Will I have a scar from a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Brazilian Butt Lifts involve harvesting fat via liposuction using small tubes (“cannulas”) that are inserted into the skin. The incision needed for these cannulas are less than a centimeter wide – so you will be left with very tiny scars.
For the first few months after a Brazilian Butt Lift the scars will be red and possibly raised and/or firm. But over time the scar will becomes soft, pale, flat, and barely noticeable.
However, if you are prone to hypertrophic scars or keloids, or these scars run in y our family, you should inform your doctor before your Brazilian Butt Lift.
Always use sunscreen, and avoid any prolonged exposure to the sun for at least two months, as UV rays can darken scars’ appearance. You may also ask your doctor about using a scar lightening cream, or laser treatments, to further minimize the appearance.

Are massages necessary after a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Birmingham double board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali may recommend lymphatic drainage massage for you following your Brazilian Butt Lift, as it can significantly help decrease bruising and swelling.
Depending on the status of your recovery, the blood flow after the Brazilian Butt Lift, and other personal recovery factors, Dr. Ali may also recommend massage a few weeks after your procedure.
What are the possible side effects and complications of a Brazilian Butt Lift?
When performed by an experienced Birmingham double board certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Ali, the Brazilian butt lift procedure has a very high success rate, with rare complications. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, it is not without some risk.

Common side effects after a Brazilian Butt Lift include bruising, swelling, and some pain or discomfort. Dr. Ali will provide you with a prescription for medication to manage any pain.
Irregular contour, asymmetry, infection, and loss of fat due to not following post-op instructions are rare but possible side effects.
When Will I See Results from My Brazilian Butt Lift?
Most of the obvious swelling will subside in about two to four weeks after the procedure. Approximately 3 months after Brazilian Butt Lift most patients begin to see their final results.
In some cases, it may initially appear that you are wider across your back and stomach because of the swelling and fluid that may still be draining from the liposuction. Do not worry or feel discouraged! This is normal, and as the swelling begins to subside your proportions will become shapelier.

Who Can Get a Brazilian Butt Lift?
/in Brazilian butt lift /by adminWho Can Get a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Most individuals who are in good health are candidates for a Brazilian Butt Lift to improve the appearance of their behind.
A Brazilian Butt Lift transfers your own fat cells (usually from the abdomen, “love handles,” back or thigh) to your behind area. Therefore, a good candidates for Brazilian Butt Lift should be close to their ideal weight but have enough fat for liposuction.
The skin in the areas from which the fat will be removed needs to have good elasticity, as well, to avoid sagging after the liposuction.
There is not an age limit for a Brazilian Butt Lift, as long as you are in good health, with good skin elasticity. Many of our Brazilian Butt Lift patients have gotten the shapely “behind” they have always wanted with a Brazilian Butt Lift in their 40s, 50s and even 60s!
What If I Don’t Have Enough Body Fat for a Brazilian Butt Lift?
People who do not have enough fat to transfer – but are otherwise good candidates for Brazilian Butt Lift – may in some cases need to gain 10 to 20 pounds prior to surgery.
However, if you are a very small, thin, or underweight individual with low levels of overall body fat, you may not be a candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift. In these cases, implants or Sculptra injections may be your only option for enlarging your behind.

Who Can’t get a Brazilian Butt Lift?
As with any cosmetic surgery, if you have any underlying heart or lung conditions, or neurological disorders, you may not be a good candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift. If you have any medical conditions, including diabetes, breathing problems or heart disease, it is important to consult with your personal doctor to determine if you are an eligible candidate for surgery.
Patients with anemia may need to take iron supplements and achieve a healthy blood count before any surgery – including a Brazilian Butt Lift.
Additionally, patients who are unable to adhere to the proper rest and recovery period after the surgery, should wait until they are in a position to recover before considering a Brazilian Butt Lift.
