What is a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?
When it comes to enhancing curves and achieving a fuller, more contoured figure, the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) stands out. At Erdem Hospital, we perform this popular plastic surgery for individuals aiming for naturally fuller buttocks. Unlike traditional implants, the BBL procedure uses your own fat, harvested through liposuction, to shape and augment the buttocks to your desired look. With the natural fat transfer technique, you can achieve a fuller, more youthful silhouette—all using your body’s own resources.
How is a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) Performed?
Performed in two stages, the Brazilian Butt Lift at Erdem Hospital begins with liposuction. The process involves extracting fat from areas like the abdomen, back, or thighs. Next, the purified fat is strategically injected into the buttocks, enhancing both volume and shape.
For those with low body fat, we offer the “Skinny BBL.” This technique involves weight gain under medical supervision to accumulate enough fat for the procedure, ensuring safe and effective results.
Techniques for Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
Erdem Hospital offers advanced BBL techniques to cater to diverse patient needs:
- Traditional Fat Transfer: Fat is harvested via liposuction and injected into the buttocks to create a fuller appearance.
- Safe BBL with USG-Guided Fat Grafting: This modern and increasingly popular method enhances safety by using ultrasound guidance during fat injection.
- Butt Implants: For individuals with insufficient body fat, high-quality silicone implants provide a durable and shapely outcome.
Why Choose BBL with Fat Transfer?
Opting for a Brazilian Butt Lift with fat transfer has significant advantages:
- Lower Risk Profile: Compared to buttock prosthesis surgeries, fat transfer has fewer risks when performed by experienced surgeons.
- Natural Look and Feel: Since the fat is from your own body, the results are more natural in both appearance and texture.
- Dual Benefit of Body Contouring: Not only do you gain volume in the buttocks, but liposuction also sculpts areas like the abdomen and thighs.
Who is a Good Candidate for Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?
At Erdem Hospital, our experts recommend BBL surgery to individuals who:
- Are in good overall health.
- Have sufficient fat for transfer (or are open to the Skinny BBL method).
- Are seeking natural-looking buttock enhancement.
- Have realistic expectations about the outcome.
How Much Time Should You Set Aside for BBL Surgery?
Planning for a Brazilian Butt Lift? Typically, you need only a single day for the surgery. However, you should plan for a few additional days to rest and recover before resuming daily activities.
Pre-Operative Preparation: What to Consider Before BBL Surgery
Preparation is key to a smooth surgical experience. Here’s what you should do:
- Health Checkups: Complete all recommended health tests with your doctor to ensure you’re fit for surgery.
- Medical History: Disclose chronic conditions, genetic diseases, and current medications to your surgeon.
- Avoid Caffeine and Alcohol: Refrain from caffeinated drinks for 24 hours and stop alcohol consumption at least a week before surgery.
- Quit Smoking: Ideally, stop smoking a week before the procedure to promote faster healing.
- Medication Management: If you take blood thinners or other medications, consult your doctor to safely pause them before surgery.
Post-Operative Care: How to Ensure a Smooth Recovery
After surgery, proper care is crucial for the best results:
- Get Moving: Light walks 4-5 hours post-surgery can aid recovery.
- Hygiene Matters: After the drains are removed, take a sterile shower as advised by your doctor.
- Dressing Care: Change postoperative dressings every 3-4 days.
- Proper Positioning: Lie face down for 1 to 1.5 months to support healing. When sitting, use a pillow specially designed for BBL recovery.
