A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is a surgical procedure to enhance the shape and size of the buttocks. It involves removing excess fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, and love handles and injecting it into the buttocks. This helps achieve a shapelier, more rounded backside.
Moreover, since a BBL involves liposuction for fat extraction, it also helps improve the contouring of the donor areas.
Who Is The Ideal Candidate For A BBL?
To qualify for a Brazilian butt lift, you have to make sure that:
- You are in good overall health.
- You should be a non-smoker or willing to quit smoking at least six weeks before and after the treatment.
- You haven’t been able to achieve the desired backside curve with diet and exercise.
- You have adequate fat in potential donor areas for the fat transfer.
- You have realistic expectations of the treatment and its results.
Pre-Op Instructions
Your doctor will give you pre-op guidelines to help you prepare for your BBL surgery. Some of those guidelines are as follows:
- Get all your lab tests done as directed by your surgeon.
- Stop smoking at least 4-6 weeks before the procedure.
- Stop taking aspirin, NSAIDs, and herbal supplements 3-4 four weeks before surgery.
- Follow your surgeon’s specific instructions regarding fasting before surgery.
- Prepare comfortable, loose-fitting clothing for the day of surgery to ensure your comfort post-procedure.
Procedure
A BBL is typically performed under general anesthesia or sedation with local anesthesia. The steps involved in the procedure are as follows:
- The surgeon uses liposuction to extract fat from the areas like the abdomen, thighs, and lower back.
- The extracted fat is centrifuged to remove impurities such as blood, fluids, and cellular debris.
- The purified fat is transferred into large syringes. These syringes are administered into he target region, typically above the gluteal muscle.
The amount of fat injected varies depending on the individual needs and the desired outcome.
Recovery
After the BBL procedure, you will likely experience bruising, swelling, and discomfort in the liposuction and injection sites for a few days. Some liquid discharge from the liposuction sites is normal.
Significant recovery occurs in a few weeks, but full healing can take longer. Recovery times vary, but many patients fully recover within two to three months. To ensure smoother recovery, ensure to follow your doctor’s instructions.
Post-Op Instructions
After your BBL surgery, your surgeon will likely advise you to:
- Start light walking as soon as possible to aid circulation.
- Avoid sleeping on your back or sides for 10-14 days after surgery.
- Avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for 10-14 days, as recommended by your surgeon, to ensure proper healing.
- Protect incision sites from direct sunlight until fully healed.
- Take the medication your doctor prescribes.
- Maintain a balanced diet to support healing, unless otherwise advised by your surgeon.
- Avoid strenuous activities for about two weeks after surgery. You may, however, resume some of your routine activities after a few days.
- Avoid swimming pools and hot tub baths for at least three weeks or until your surgeon approves.
Results
The injected fat adds volume to the buttocks, with initial results visible immediately after the procedure. However, these initial results are typically influenced by swelling and the presence of BBL compression garments.
As swelling subsides, you will notice a reduction in the buttocks’ initial volume. Your body may also reabsorb some of the injected fat. The shape and size of the buttocks usually settle and become final about six months after the procedure.
A Brazilian butt lift results in a more rounded, curvy backside that adds nicely to your overall body aesthetics. Besides enhancing your figure, this buttock augmentation surgery also improves your body image.
The longevity of BBL results varies; some patients may require touch-ups or follow-up sessions.
