A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is a cosmetic surgery procedure that augments the size and shape of the buttocks by transferring fat from other areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, or thighs.
The BBL procedure is performed in two steps:
- Liposuction: Excess fat is removed from the donor areas using liposuction.
- Fat grafting: The harvested fat is then purified and injected into the buttocks to create a fuller, rounder shape.
The BBL has become increasingly popular in recent years, as it offers a more natural-looking and feeling alternative to butt implants. Additionally, the BBL can also be used to improve the overall aesthetic of the lower body by removing fat from problem areas such as the love handles and saddlebags.
While the BBL is a popular and relatively safe procedure, it is important to note that it is still a surgery and carries some risks. These risks include infection, bleeding, blood clots, and fat necrosis (the death of fat cells). It is important to choose a qualified and experienced surgeon to perform the BBL procedure.
Here are some of the benefits of a BBL:
- Creates a more natural-looking and feeling buttocks than implants
- Can also be used to improve the overall aesthetic of the lower body by removing fat from problem areas
- Results can be long-lasting, especially if the patient maintains a healthy weight
