A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is a minimally invasive way to shape, build and tone a patient's buttocks. It does not involve the insertion of an implant, rather, it uses the fat that is extracted from other parts of the person's body to build their buttocks into the desired shape.
Liposuction is used to extract fat from places like the hips, thighs, lower back and upper arms, then the surgeon strategically injects the fat into areas around the patient's backside.
Here are some of the amazing benefits of improving the curves of your lower body with this treatment:
The main purpose of a BBL is adding fullness to and improving the shape of the patient's buttocks. But, it also shapes the parts of the body that fat is extracted from. Liposuction is performed to remove fat from other areas, and the person's body will not replace these fat tissues once they are extracted. Liposuction is a permanent procedure, so the patient can preserve their new appearance if they maintain a healthy lifestyle.
A BBL is a great solution for people who still have a few pockets of fat left despite the fact that they stick to a diet and exercise often. It should be noted that patients need to have adequate fat stores to create the volume desired.
Once fat is removed during a Brazilian butt lift, it is purified before being injected into the patient's rear end. This fat transfer allows the doctor to add an exact amount of fullness to specific areas just like the patient wants it. It gives the patient more control as far as deciding how they want their buttocks to look after the procedure.
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that requires the use of an anesthetic. It is a minimally invasive procedure since it only requires incisions big enough for a small tube to fit inside. That leads to shorter recovery times and virtually no scarring because no major incisions are made.
The fat injections administered during a BBL are not much different than any other, and they do not require the use of anesthetics. The most demanding part of recovering from a BBL is having to wear a compression suit for up to three weeks and not being able to sit on the buttocks for just as long. Most patients who get a BBL are back to their regular activities within a few weeks.
The time spent recovering from a BBL is relatively short compared to how long the patient gets to enjoy the results of the treatment. The results should be clearly visible about six weeks after the procedure when the fat has had a chance to stabilize in its new location.
Brazilian butt lifts are a popular plastic surgery thanks to the many benefits patients get from it like less fat in problematic areas and a more attractive rear end. Stop by our clinic for a consultation.
