What Is BBL Surgery?
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery is a cosmetic procedure that involves removing excess body fat from one area and transferring it to the buttocks to enhance their size and shape. This technique has gained popularity recently as it enhances the buttocks naturally without the use of implants.
What Are the Types of BBL Surgery?
BBL surgery can be divided into two categories: Classic BBL and 360 BBL. Traditional BBL typically involves fat transfer from areas such as the abdomen, back, or thighs to the buttocks. In 360 BBL, the same areas are treated for fat removal, but additionally, the hips and waist are contoured and shaped to improve the overall appearance of the buttocks and achieve a more balanced figure.
Under general anesthesia, BBL surgery usually consists of multiple stages. The surgeon first makes small incisions in the areas where fat will be harvested. The fat is then suctioned using a specialized cannula, processed, and purified before being injected into the buttocks. To achieve the desired results, the surgeon meticulously shapes and contours the buttocks. Stitches are then used to close the incisions.
How Is BBL Surgery Performed?
After the fat collected through liposuction is processed, healthy fat cells are carefully separated from foreign fluids and contaminants. The purified fat is then re-injected into specific areas of the buttocks to enhance their volume and create a more attractive contour. The fat is carefully injected by the surgeon to ensure a symmetrical, natural-looking result.
One advantage of BBL surgery is that it not only enhances the appearance of the buttocks but also improves body proportions by shaping the donor areas where fat is removed. This can result in a more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing shape.
Post-BBL Surgery:
Inflammation and pain are common side effects of BBL surgery, but they can be managed with pain relievers and compression garments. It is crucial to avoid sitting or resting on the buttocks for several weeks after the procedure to allow the fat grafts to settle and integrate with the surrounding tissues.
It is important to remember that sufficient excess fat must be available in other body areas for harvesting to achieve satisfactory BBL results. Alternative treatments, such as buttock implants or fat transfer from another person (allograft), may be considered if the patient does not have enough fat for the procedure.
