The curves of the buttocks impact the balance of your figure. When well-proportioned, they can enhance your overall silhouette and create a more harmonious appearance. If you’re considering adding volume to your buttocks while reducing fat in areas like the abdomen, a Brazilian butt lift might be the right choice for you.
At Balto Plastic Surgery in Miami, we are fluent in Portuguese, Spanish, and English, which allows us to serve a diverse range of patients locally and from across the country. Whether you’re from Miami or traveling from out of state, we are here to assist with your body contouring goals.
What Is a BBL?
A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is a procedure that augments or reshapes the buttock area using fat taken from other areas of your body. By using your own fat, we are able to give you a more natural-looking enhancement that works well with the structure and shape of your body. During a BBL, fat is taken via liposuction from areas where you don’t want as much fat such as the abdomen or thighs.
Working With Your Unique Curves
Everyone’s body is different, and your curves are uniquely yours. Body shapes vary widely, and that’s why we take the time to understand your specific contours and proportions. When planning your Brazilian butt lift, we consider factors like your natural shape, the distribution of fat, and your desired outcome to create a plan that complements your individual figure.
Where Do You Have Excess Fat?
Each patient carries extra fat in different locations, but the most common areas are the abdomen, flanks, and thighs. Before your Brazilian butt lift, we make sure you have enough excess fat to perform the procedure. Then we plan the liposuction carefully around these stubborn fat pockets to optimize the body contouring benefits.
How Can We Achieve Proportion and Balance?
Achieving a balanced figure involves more than just enhancing the buttocks. We look at your entire body to ensure that the results are harmonious with your natural shape. By strategically removing fat from specific areas and adding volume to others, we can create a more proportional and aesthetically pleasing silhouette.
What Are Your Body Contouring Goals?
While we always consider proportions and body shape, one of the most important parts of planning a BBL is listening to your individual goals and aesthetic desires. While some patients desire a more subtle lift, others are looking for significant augmentation. We will adjust our treatment to fit your vision.
What Are the Benefits of a Brazilian Butt Lift?
- Natural-Looking Results: the use of your own fat allows the enhancement to blend seamlessly with your natural curves. We work to give you an authentic look and feel.
- Fat Reduction in Other Areas: BBL can be the perfect option for those who are eager to take a little extra off of stubborn areas that haven’t responded to other fat reduction efforts. You get liposuction and buttock enhancement in one combination procedure.
- Long-Lasting Results: The results of a Brazilian butt lift can last for many years, as the transferred fat cells integrate into your body. With proper care and maintenance, you can enjoy your enhanced curves indefinitely.
- Quick Recovery and Minimal Downtime: Butt contouring with fat transfer generally involves a shorter recovery period compared to other procedures such as implants. While some recovery and special care will be needed, patients can return to their daily activities more quickly.
- Autologous Procedure: Rather than using materials that are foreign to your body, a BBL is autologous which means it only uses materials taken from your body. This comes with benefits such as reduced rejection and decreased risk of reactions.
How a BBL Works
Harvesting Fat
For your Brazilian buttock lift, we use high-definition liposuction to harvest fat. High-def liposuction is unique because of its precision—this technique not only removes fat but also sculpts the area with special attention given to the underlying muscular structure. The purpose is to provide better contouring and improve the definition of your muscles. We prefer this method because it allows us to carefully contour your body while collecting the fat needed for the enhancement.
Purification Process
Once the fat is harvested, it goes through a purification process before your BBL surgery. This step involves separating the healthy fat cells from other fluids and tissues, ensuring that only the best cells are used for the transfer. This meticulous process increases the chances of successful fat grafting and contributes to the long-lasting results you can expect.
Precise Placement Through Injection
After purification, the fat is injected into your buttocks with careful precision. Fat is not only placed into the buttock itself but also into the hips as needed for balance. We use special techniques to make sure the fat is evenly distributed and placed in the areas that will give you the most natural and balanced results.
What Is Recovery Like After a BBL?
After a Brazilian butt lift, you’ll need to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for about two weeks to protect the newly transferred fat. Sleeping on your stomach or sides and using a special cushion when sitting can help. Wearing a compression garment for several weeks will reduce swelling and support your new contours. Most patients return to light activities within a week, but full recovery, including returning to strenuous exercise, typically takes six to eight weeks.
