BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift)
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a popular cosmetic surgical procedure that enhances the size and shape of the buttocks using the patient’s own fat. This procedure involves two main steps: liposuction to remove excess fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, and fat grafting to inject the purified fat into the buttocks. The goal of a BBL is to create a fuller, rounder, and more aesthetically pleasing buttock contour.
The procedure begins with liposuction, where fat is harvested from the donor areas. The fat is then processed and purified before being strategically injected into different layers of the buttocks to achieve the desired shape and volume. Recovery from a BBL typically involves some swelling and bruising, with patients advised to avoid sitting directly on their buttocks for at least two weeks to ensure proper fat integration. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few weeks. The results of a BBL are long-lasting, providing the patient maintains a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
