Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a procedure where fat is liposuctioned from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks and then transferred to the buttocks to enhance their volume, shape, and firmness. This is a popular option for those seeking a fuller, more contoured backside.
Who Is the Best Candidate?
- Individuals who have excess fat in areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks and desire fuller, lifted buttocks.
- People in good overall health who have realistic expectations.
- Ideal for those who want a more natural solution to buttocks enhancement rather than implants.
Recovery Time
- Recovery time typically involves 2 weeks of minimal activity and avoiding sitting directly on the buttocks for several weeks.
- Most patients experience mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising, which usually subsides within a few weeks.
- Final results can be seen after 3-6 months as the transferred fat settles.
Is the procedure painful?
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Post-surgery discomfort is minimal and can be managed with prescribed medication.
Are the results permanent?
Yes, the fat transferred to the buttocks is permanent, but maintaining a stable weight is important to preserve the results.
How long is the procedure?
The procedure usually takes 3-4 hours, depending on the amount of fat being liposuctioned and transferred.
Will I have scars?
The incisions for liposuction are small and discreet, and any scars are usually minimal and hidden in natural folds.
When can I wear makeup after the procedure?
Can I sit on my buttocks after the procedure?
