Brazilian Butt Lift - Body Contouring
Description
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a popular cosmetic surgery procedure that enhances the size and shape of the buttocks without implants. It involves the transfer of fat from other areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, or thighs, into the buttocks to improve their size and shape.
The procedure typically involves the following steps:
- Liposuction: Fat is removed from selected areas of your body where there is excess fat, such as the hips, abdomen, back, or thighs. This is done through a process called liposuction, which involves making small incisions in the skin and using a tube to suction out the fat.
- Purification of Fat: Once the fat is removed, it’s then processed and purified to prepare it for transfer. This usually involves spinning it in a machine to separate the healthy fat cells.
- Fat Injection: The purified fat is then injected strategically into different areas and depths of the buttocks to enhance its size and shape.
A Brazilian Butt Lift can help individuals who are unhappy with the size or shape of their buttocks achieve a more balanced and aesthetic figure. However, like any surgical procedure, it carries risks, including infection, blood clots, and complications related to anesthesia. It’s also important to note that not all the injected fat will survive; some is naturally reabsorbed by the body over time, which may impact the final result.
It’s crucial to have a thorough consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in this procedure to understand the potential risks and benefits and whether it’s a suitable option for you.
