Brazilian Butt Lift

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) also known as a gluteal fat grafting is a cosmetic surgery procedure that is done in order to enhance the shape and size of the buttocks for a fuller more rounded contour. The procedure involves liposuction to remove excess fat from areas like abdomen, flanks or thighs which is then purified and injected carefully into the buttocks to create an ideal look.

This operation is usually done as an outpatient procedure meaning one can go back home the same day. It usually requires general anesthesia though sometimes intravenous sedation mixed with local anesthetics may be used depending on case. The main advantage of BBL is therefore it uses your own body fat reducing chances of rejection while at the same time having a natural feel unlike synthetic implants.

Patients who are considering undergoing BBL surgery ought to be aware that after the operation they will have to avoid putting any direct pressure on their hips and buttocks for some weeks so as to allow adequate survival rate for their grafts. This might necessitate sitting on special cushions or sleeping on your stomach/side.

If you’re thinking about a BBL, it’s crucial consult with board-certified plastic surgeon who has experience in this particular procedure. They can help you understand what could potentially happen during recovery period including benefits, risks and how he/she can help shape your desired looks
