Brazilian Butt Lift

A BBL is a cosmetic surgical procedure that enhances the shape and size of the buttocks using the patient's own fat through liposuction and fat injection.

The procedure involves liposuction to harvest excess fat from other areas of the body, purifying the fat, and then injecting it into the buttocks to create a fuller and shapelier appearance. 

Ideal candidates are individuals who desire a fuller, more curvaceous buttock contour and have sufficient excess fat in other areas of the body for liposuction. 

Recovery times can vary, but most patients can return to light activities within a week or two. Full recovery may take several weeks, and patients should avoid sitting or lying directly on their buttocks during the initial healing phase. 

Risks include infection, bleeding, fat reabsorption, asymmetry, and complications related to anesthesia. It's crucial to choose a skilled and board-certified plastic surgeon to minimize these risks. 

While some fat may be reabsorbed by the body, the remaining fat usually provides long-lasting results. Maintaining a stable weight can help preserve the outcome. 

The amount of fat that can be safely transferred depends on the patient's anatomy and the surgeon's judgment. Excessive fat transfer can increase the risk of complications.
