What is a Brazilian Buttock Lift?

The Brazilian Buttock Lift (BBL) is a surgical procedure that reshapes the buttocks using the patient's own fat, harvested from other areas of their body. An added benefit is that this procedure improves fat accumulation in the areas that are harvested from, allowing you to further sculpt and enhance your figure.

 

The Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure

BBL for Women Who Want to Change Their Silhouette

The best candidates for a BBL are non-smoking patients in good overall health. Fat transfer requires the body's ability to generate a healthy blood supply to the newly implanted fat cells. Excellent health is therefore essential. The ideal patient should have at least 5 to 7 kg of excess fat that can be transferred to the buttocks.

 

A patient's overall weight and the location of fat on their body are determining factors in terms of candidacy for a Brazilian butt lift. Fat must be distributed throughout the body in areas accessible to the surgeon via liposuction. For example, abdominal fat can only be reached if it is located above the abdominal muscles. Fat located around the organs and under the abdominal muscles cannot be used for a BBL.

 

Removing Excess Fat for Rounder Buttocks

The procedure is performed via liposuction and fat transfer. The procedure is divided into several steps. It begins with liposuction to remove fat cells from the abdomen, back, inner thighs, or another area of the body that needs less volume. During this stage of the fat transfer procedure, surgeons carefully sculpt the body to create a slimming effect in areas that need less fat. Creating symmetry is an important goal during this step. Doctors may harvest fat from multiple areas of the body to create the most harmonious contours and achieve a balanced appearance. The adipose cells (fat) that have been harvested are then processed using a special patented method that will help them survive the next stage of the procedure which is the injection of the harvested fat into the buttocks to obtain a fuller, rounder shape.

 

How is the Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure Performed?

Once the fat cells have been harvested from an area of the body and processed for grafting, the surgeon uses a small cannula to insert the fat cells into the buttocks. This procedure is usually performed without general anesthesia, making it much safer and more comfortable for patients. Instead, patients may also receive local anesthesia and sedation to keep them comfortable.

 

BBL: Fast Recovery Times and Immediate Results

Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery Time

After a Brazilian Butt Lift, patients should be prepared to properly care for themselves and the newly transferred fat cells in order to achieve the best results from the procedure. The operation itself can last between 2 and 6 hours, depending on the amount of fat harvested and the number of body areas to be treated. Some doctors may have patients stay overnight for observation after the procedure. The first night after you leave the hospital, it may be preferable to ask a friend or relative for help with household chores. How the patient takes care of themselves after a buttock augmentation procedure will often determine whether or not the fat cells manage to develop an adequate blood supply and survive. Patients should plan their recovery to ensure they get the best results from their procedure.

 

BBL Results

The results of the BBL are immediately visible, but for the final look, it takes about 3 months, when all the swelling has completely disappeared. Immediately after the procedure, bruising and swelling may appear in the areas where liposuction was performed. Swelling tends to subside in 6 to 8 weeks, but inflammation associated with liposuction can last for several months. The injected fat cells behave like all other fat cells in the body and are therefore subject to weight variations. For this reason, in order to obtain lasting results, it is preferable to try to keep your weight as stable as possible, avoiding both weight gain and weight loss. Patients are advised not to put weight on their buttocks for 3 to 4 weeks after the operation. Sitting on the newly transplanted fat cells can decrease blood supply to the area, resulting in the death of some or all of the fat cells. Instead of sitting, patients can lie on their side or stomach or use a special inflatable pillow to keep most of their weight on other parts of their body.

 

Brazilian Butt Lift: Perfect Buttocks with Almost Invisible Scars

After the liposuction procedure, you will have small scars that, in the first few months after the procedure, will appear red and, in some cases, hard or raised. Access to the cannulas is made in well-hidden areas. However, over time, these scars will mature, becoming softer, paler, and flatter, and therefore less visible. Some patients may be predisposed to the appearance of hypertrophic or keloid scars (abnormally prominent scar protrusions). In the first few days after the operation, fluid may drain from the incision sites, sometimes accompanied by a little blood.
