Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
Today, the shape and proportion of the hips are important factors for an attractive and perfect body. With the BBL method, it is shaped your hips with your own fat.
With Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery, special fat transfer techniques are used to achieve a fuller, rounder hip contour. More shaped hips can be obtained with the fats taken from the person's own body.
What is Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?
Brazilian Butt Lift is a hip shaping application using one's own regional fat.Excess fat tissues from the abdomen, waist or leg areas of the patient are taken with the liposuction technique and injected into the butt area. Thus, the waist area of the person is thinned and at the same time, the hip looks more shaped and fuller. Butt lift with BBL helps the body look flawless like an hourglass.
Who is this for?
The shape and proportion of a person's hips are largely determined by their genetic makeup; Both your skeletal structure and your body's fat storage affect the appearance of the lower body. A healthy diet and exercise can work to maintain a healthy body weight and tighten muscles, but many patients are dissatisfied with their flat hips despite a healthy lifestyle.
In general, people who have the following characteristics are probably good candidates for Brazilian butt lift:
· If the patient wants a prosthesis-free (Implant-free) hip augmentation operation,
· If there is no excessive sagging in the hips,
· If there is enough fat in other body areas for butt fat ejection.
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery can help overcome genetic factors by reshaping the hip and surrounding areas such as the hips, waist and thighs.
Those who get Brazilian Butt Lift should be able to avoid sitting directly on your hips for several weeks.
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), contrary to its name, is not a traditional "lift" procedure. In other words, if there is sagging skin on the hip, there is no intervention about it. If the patient has sagging skin on the buttocks or legs, thigh and Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery may be a more suitable option.
What are the advantages of the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?
· It improves the curves of your lower body.
· It adds fullness to your buttocks, reduces fat in your hips or abdomen and shapes the body.
· For those with flat hips, it provides a more youthful, aesthetically pleasing shape.
· It helps to restore the balance between your upper and lower body.
How is Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery performed?
1- The first step in Brazilian Butt Lift surgery is liposuction to extract fat from the hips, waist, thighs, abdomen and/or other regions. For this purpose, it’s usually prefered fat removal with liposuction.Liposuction is a method that works with the principle of minimal damage to the fat tissue and it allows to collect the fat from the body without damaging it and transfers the fat to the needed areas. Therefore, the survival rate of the fat taken and given to the hip is very high.
2- The extracted fat is purified and prepared for transfer.
3- The Plastic Surgeon injects the extracted fat into the certain areas in the hips to increase the volüme of the butt and provide the desired shape to the butt.
Not all of the injected fat will remain in the injected area, but some will melt. For this reason, many surgeons inject a little more fat than it should be, taking into account this melting rate.
Is Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery performed under Local or General Anesthesia?
Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery is performed under General Anesthesia.
Recovery After Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery
Recovery after Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery requires some special precautions.The pain level after BBL operation is usually minimal and easily controlled with painkillers.After the surgery, the patient is not allowed to sit her hips for about two weeks, and also it is recommended to sleep face down.
After Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery (BBL), you will need to lie on your face or side and stand for all activities except using the toilet. When you're ready, you will be allowed you to sit in a modified position, using a "bagel" style seat to avoid pressure on the hips. After Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery (BBL), normal sitting activity is usually allowed after 8 weeks.
Are the affects of the Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery permanent?
After Brazilian Butt Lift surgery, the fat cells transferred to the hip and not melted will remain for years. However, weight gain and loss will affect the appearance of the hips, so weight control after Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery (BBL) is important.
Potential Risks and Side Affects of The Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery (BBL)
Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery may have less risk than other surgeries such as silicone hip prostheses. Still, as with any surgery, Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery has some potential risks and side affects.
These are as follows:
· Infection
· Lumps in the injected areas and under the skin,
· Skin loss in treated areas due to infection
· Fat embolism in the heart or lungs
· A second session may be required due to excessive melting of the fat in the injected areas
Reviews of those who have had Brazilian Butt Lift surgery say that the results become apparent within 6 months after the surgery, after the edema has subsided and completely healed. Due to the fat removed by liposuction, the waist cavity becomes sharper, the contour of the leg is corrected, and the hip gains a projection and gains a more aesthetic appearance.
When performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery is an impressive procedure with long-lasting results.
What are the differences between Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery and Butt Implants?
A major advantage of Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery is that it enlarges the size of the hip without an implant. Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery is a very natural-looking operation with obvious results.
However, if the patient is very thin, body fat is not enough and the only way to achieve the increase in size the patient desires may be Butt Implants. Butt Implants may be a good option for some patients; however, it is important to understand the additional risks of having implants (hip replacements), including capsular contracture and a higher risk of infection. Hip implants can look less natural compared to Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery (BBL).
