Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) – Everything You Need to Know

What is a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the shape, volume, and contour of the buttocks using the patient’s own fat. The procedure involves liposuction to extract excess fat from areas like the abdomen, thighs, flanks, or back. This fat is then purified and processed to separate fat. This fat is then carefully re-injected into the buttocks, creating a fuller and more sculpted appearance.

✅ Suitable Candidates:

✔️ Individuals seeking a fuller, rounder, or more lifted buttocks.

✔️ Those with sufficient fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks.

✔️ People with good skin elasticity for natural-looking results.

✔️ Individuals in good overall health and maintaining a stable weight.

✔️ Non-smokers or those willing to quit before surgery.

 Not Recommended for:

❌ Individuals with very low body fat (may require implants instead).

❌ Those with poor skin elasticity (a surgical buttock lift may be necessary).

❌ Patients with medical conditions that may affect healing.

How is a BBL Performed?

✔️ Step 1: Excess fat is removed through liposuction from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, back, or flanks.

✔️ Step 2: The extracted fat is purified and processed to retain the healthiest fat cells.

✔️ Step 3: The purified fat is carefully injected into the buttocks, enhancing shape and volume for a natural look.

4. Can I sit after a BBL?

❌ Sitting directly on the buttocks should be avoided for at least 2-3 weeks.

✔️ Use a BBL pillow to reduce pressure on the newly transferred fat.

5. How long do BBL results last?

✔️ Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve the results.

6. Will I have scars after a BBL?

8. What happens if I gain or lose weight after a BBL?
