Buttock Lift (Brazilian Butt Lift - BBL)
A buttock lift, commonly referred to as a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the volume and shape of the buttocks using the patient’s own fat. This procedure provides a fuller, more youthful, and proportionate lower body while offering the added benefit of contouring areas such as the abdomen, thighs, and flanks through liposuction. Unlike synthetic implants, fat transfer creates a natural-looking and long-lasting enhancement.
The BBL is ideal for individuals looking to achieve a curvier silhouette, improve body proportions, and address volume loss in the buttocks due to weight fluctuations or aging. The procedure is tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy to achieve the most natural and harmonious results.
Procedure Overview
Fat Harvesting
- Liposuction is performed on donor areas such as the abdomen, thighs, back, or flanks to collect excess fat cells.
Fat Purification
- The harvested fat is purified and processed to ensure only healthy, viable fat cells are used for injection.
Injection
- The purified fat is carefully injected into specific areas of the buttocks in layers to enhance shape and volume while maintaining natural contours.
Closure and Recovery
- Patients are advised to avoid sitting or lying directly on their buttocks for at least 2-3 weeks to allow proper fat integration.
Recovery Timeline
- Most patients resume normal activities within 2-3 weeks.
- Swelling gradually subsides over several months, revealing the final shape.
- Wearing a compression garment helps reduce swelling and optimize results.
Considerations:
- A stable weight is important to maintain long-term results.
- Proper post-operative care, including avoiding direct pressure on the buttocks, is essential for fat survival.
- Patients should maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent fat reaccumulation in donor areas.
