Home Cosmetic Procedures Body Brazilian Butt Lift

What is a Brazilian butt lift (aka BBL or buttock augmentation)?

In short, a Brazilian butt lift (BBL) takes unwanted fat from other parts of the body and injects it into the buttock tissues to create a more rounded contour and a more pleasing body shape. During your consultation, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Panossian will perform a thorough evaluation and take note of your hip-to-waist ratio. This is the difference in circumference between your waist and your hips.

People who undergo BBL can typically expect a fuller, better-defined buttock shape that usually lasts; however, maintenance sessions may become necessary over time.
The duration of a BBL procedure will depend on the amount of fat harvested and inserted.

Ideal Candidates for BBL Surgery

Ideal candidates for this type of buttock augmentation are those with enough fat in other areas of their body to harvest and transfer to the buttocks. This cosmetic procedure is an outpatient, minimally-invasive procedure that involves harvesting fat from other areas of the body and injecting it into the buttocks.

Candidates for this popular procedure are those who are looking to improve their aesthetic appearance and enhance the shape of their buttocks. The recovery process is relatively short, with most patients returning to normal activities within a few days. Patients should be in good health and have realistic expectations about the outcome of their BBL surgery.

For two weeks prior to their procedure, patients should refrain from smoking and avoid taking any medications that could increase their risk of bleeding.
Before BBL, it is essential for patients to consult with their doctor regarding the associated risks

Preparation for BBL Surgery

Prior to undergoing a Brazilian butt lift, it is important for patients to prepare for the procedure. This includes getting medical clearance from their primary care physician and having realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery. Patients should also stop smoking at least two weeks before their procedure and avoid taking any medications that can increase bleeding risk. Additionally, patients should arrange for someone to drive them home after the surgery and stay with them for at least 24 hours afterward. Lastly, patients should follow all pre-operative instructions given by Dr. Panossian in order to ensure a safe and successful outcome.

The BBL Procedure

After Dr. Panossian determines that you are a good candidate for a BBL, then, under general anesthesia, unwanted excess fat from other areas of your body is first harvested using liposuction procedures from the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and/or back area. The body fat is then purified and injected into the buttocks (fat transfer procedure) to produce a more rounded buttock contour and overall better size and shape.

An ideal hip-to-waist ratio is approximately 0.69 to 0.71. This is easily achievable in most patients with the BBL technique.

Complications of BBL

The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a cosmetic procedure that involves harvesting fat from other areas of the body and injecting it into the buttocks. While this butt enhancement procedure can effectively achieve desired results, there are potential risks associated with it. Allergic reactions to the fat injections, risk of complications due to improper technique, risk of infection, and fat embolism are all possible complications that may arise.

Post-operative swelling and bruising may also occur and should be monitored closely. To reduce the risk of infection, antibiotic medications may be prescribed prior to surgery. It is important for patients to discuss any potential risks with their doctor before undergoing a BBL procedure.

What are the long-term results of BBL?

A certain percentage of the injected fat will resorb (approximately 25-40%). For this reason, the injection is overestimated at the time of surgery so that the fat left in the butt augmentation will stay permanently at the desired size. Usually, the natural fat cells that remain in good health after 6 months will stay permanently. The great benefit of the Brazilian butt lift procedure is that it narrows the waist to give an overall improvement of body contour. This gives individuals a striking improvement and a boost in confidence when wearing bikinis or other clothing.

Recovery

What is the recovery from BBL Procedure like?

The BBL recovery period is generally quick and easy. The surgery is a same-day procedure. Yond you can go home with a special compression garment designed to maintain the contour of the augmented buttock tissues. You might experience some swelling and bruising, but it should go away in a few weeks.

During the healing process, patients should avoid strenuous activity for at least two weeks after the procedure to ensure proper healing. It is important to follow all post-operative instructions given by your doctor in order to reduce the risk of infection or other complications. Additionally, wearing compression garments can help reduce swelling and improve results. With proper care, patients can expect long-lasting results from their BBL surgery.

The garment is worn for the next 6 weeks, only to be removed for washing and showering. Patients can return to work approximately 2 weeks after surgery.

Interviewed and researched many doctors for my procedure. The difference between Dr. Panossian and the others was he took the time in our pre and post appointment. I did not feel rushed. He treated me as a human being and I felt he was very present in every moment with me and not distracted with other things. Very professional, but approachable and personable.
