What is Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) Surgery? 

The Brazilian butt lift is a popular aesthetic procedure that involves transferring fat to the buttocks to create a fuller and more contoured appearance. This procedure does not involve the use of butt implants (silicone); instead, excess fat is removed from areas like the abdomen, waist, thighs, or hips through liposuction and then injected into the buttocks. This technique helps to improve the proportions of the lower body by removing fat from the patient’s “problem areas” while making the buttocks more prominent. 

Benefits of Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) Surgery 

• Enhances the curves and overall appearance of the lower body. 

• Adds fullness to the buttocks while reducing excess fat in areas like the hips, abdomen, and thighs, shaping the body. 

• Helps clothing fit more attractively on the body. 

• Provides a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing shape by increasing buttock projection in individuals with flat buttocks. 

• Helps restore balance between the upper and lower body proportions. 

Who is Suitable for Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery? 

Brazilian butt lift surgery can be an excellent option for those looking to improve the shape and size of their buttocks. Generally, individuals with the following characteristics may be good candidates for this procedure: 

• Those seeking a buttock enhancement without implants, 

• Individuals with no excessive sagging in the buttocks, 

• Those who have enough fat in other body areas for fat injection to the buttocks. 

Post-surgery, it’s important to avoid sitting directly on the buttocks for several weeks. Despite its name, the Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is not a traditional “lifting” procedure and does not address sagging skin. If there is sagging skin in the buttocks or thighs, a thigh and buttock lift surgery may be a more appropriate option. 

Anesthesia for Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery 

The Brazilian butt lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia. This ensures that patients are completely asleep during the procedure and do not feel any pain. 

Are the Results of a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) Permanent? 

The fat cells transferred to the buttocks that do not dissolve will remain for years following a Brazilian butt lift surgery. However, fluctuations in weight can affect the appearance of the buttocks, making post-operative weight management crucial.
