Bigger butt and hips are a very sensual feminine feature. But it is not always easy to reach that beauty standard with exercise and diet only, especially at a time when most women don’t have enough time for the type of exercise that will give them the desired results. But do not worry, there is a permanent solution that can bring you closer to your body goals without hitting the gym – the Brazilian butt lift.
What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
A Brazilian butt lift is a type of cosmetic procedure that can help you change the size and shape of your butt by moving the fat from the rest of your body (usually the abdomen) to your butt. It is an extremely popular procedure among the female population because it can help anyone get their dream butt without having to work extra hard in the gym.
Because of the “natural” approach to fat grafting, and avoiding foreign bodies such as implants, this procedure has been very much demanded.
The procedure is mostly combined with liposuction because lipo is necessary to collect the fat before the actual procedure. It can also be combined with other types of surgery, such as tummy tuck.
How Is Brazillian Butt Lift Performed?
During the BBL procedure, the surgeon first performs fat grafting, during which they collect the fat from other parts of your body. Because most fat is stored in the stomach and your back, surgeons usually take fat from those areas. This part of the process is basically the same as the standard liposuction procedure.
After the fat is collected, it is purified using centrifugation, after which the surgeon takes it and injects it into different parts of your butt, spreading it evenly to give you a fuller, rounder shape.
The amount of fat collected from the body will determine the later size of the butt. The more fat it is collected, the more the surgeon will be able to inject into your buttocks.
The procedure is done under general anesthesia and is usually done in a few hours.
How to Prepare for the BBL Surgery?
Before the surgery, your surgeon will ask you about your medical history, so make sure you share it to avoid any contraindications.
It is also generally advised to stop consuming specific medications, cigarettes, and alcohol in the weeks before the surgery.
Try to improve your diet and increase physical activity, because this could potentially make the healing process easier.
The Recovery Process
After the BBL procedure is done, you will be able to go home the same day. In some cases you might have to stay in for the night, but no longer than 24 hours.
In the first few days after the surgery, you might feel some pain and discomfort, but your surgeon can prescribe you pain medication to make the process easier. Most surgeons advise not to sit down during this period, because extra weight might affect the new fat cells in your butt.
Most surgeons advise wearing shape clothing, to keep the fat in place and give it enough time to heal.
You will probably not be able to properly sit down in the first few weeks after the surgery, because the area will be more sensitive than usual. Daily walks are recommended because they improve your circulation and help the new fat adjust to your butt.
Why People Get A BBL?
For women who’ve noticed a loss of elasticity or sagging in the lower back or butt area due to aging, a BBL can be a game-changer. The procedure lifts and contours the butt, giving you back the youthful, firm appearance you once enjoyed or always wished for. The outcome can boost your confidence in what you wear, whether it’s jeans, dresses, or swimsuits.
Whether genetics, weight fluctuations, or life changes have left you feeling less than thrilled with your shape, a BBL offers a chance to reshape and enhance your butt in a way that feels natural to you. Watching your transformation in the mirror can bring a deep sense of satisfaction and empowerment.
For models and media personalities, looking good is usually a big part of how well they do in their careers. A BBL offers a visually stunning, natural-looking enhancement that photographs beautifully, ensuring these women can confidently step into the spotlight.
Cost and Financing
The usual cost of a BBL procedure depends on several factors, but mostly the complexity of the procedure. In most cases, if you decide to combine it with other types of surgery, such as tummy tuck, the price will probably be a bit higher.
If you are considering getting a BBL, you can find out more details about the surgery and its effects by scheduling free consultations. And if you already have a BBL and are experiencing some functionality issues, for example when running, walking, or doing other types of physical activity, or you have noticed asymmetry and disproportion with the rest of the body, we offer BBL reduction surgery as well.
Because of the advances in technology and safety, BBL is a safe procedure, with very predictable results. The fat transferred during the procedure stays and does not disappear over time. If you go on a tremendous weight loss diet, you might lose some BBL fat, but that is not the general experience.
Brazilian butt lift uses only the person’s own fat, usually grafted during liposuction/liposculpture, from the abdomen, the back, and thighs, to reach that lifting effect. The final result can depend on the place where the surgeon placed the fat and your recovery process. Butt implants are not used during the BBL procedure.
You’ve got to be ready to commit to the recovery. After a BBL, sitting or lying directly on your butt is a big no-no for about 2-3 weeks, but you can use very plushy donut pillows if you are in a situation where you have to sit. You’ll need to sleep on your stomach or side. Compression garments are important for reducing swelling and helping you heal nicely. While the downtime can be a bit of a buzzkill, the payoff is worth it when you catch that first glimpse of your new silhouette.
To keep your results on point, focus on maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Think balanced meals, regular exercise (after recovery), and avoiding prolonged pressure on your butt. Taking care of yourself is super important for keeping those curves looking great and ready to turn heads wherever you are.
When discussing the size and shape you’re aiming for, don’t hold back. Bring photos of butts that inspire you, whether from celebrities, influencers, or people you admire. Talk about how you want your waist, hips, and thighs to complement your enhanced butt. Just keep in mind that if you want bigger results, you might need to tweak your recovery time and what activities you can do. Sitting around or just resting on your butt isn’t an option while you’re healing.
If you are on the slimmer side, your surgeon can work creatively to harvest fat from areas like your thighs, arms, or even smaller deposits on your abdomen. In some cases, they might recommend gaining a few pounds before surgery to ensure there is enough fat to achieve those curves. You can count on your surgeon to figure out what is doable and help you get the best results.
You can get a second BBL if you’re looking for an even bolder look. Some women choose to go for a more subtle enhancement first and later add volume for an even bolder look. Your surgeon can discuss the options and help you plan for your dream butt.
Many women pair a BBL with procedures like liposuction for a snatched waist, breast augmentation for a fuller cleavage, or even skin treatments for a flawless glow. Chat with your surgeon about what you’re looking to achieve. They can whip up a tailored plan to help you feel like the most confident version of yourself.
