A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves removing excess fat from one or more areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips, and transferring it to the buttocks to enhance their shape and size. The procedure is popular among individuals who want to achieve a fuller, rounder, and more youthful-looking buttocks.
The BBL procedure typically involves three steps:
- Liposuction: The surgeon uses liposuction to remove excess fat from one or more areas of the body.
- Fat processing: The extracted fat is then processed to remove impurities and prepare it for injection into the buttocks.
- Fat injection: The processed fat is injected into different areas of the buttocks to create a more rounded, lifted appearance.
The BBL procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and can take several hours to complete, depending on the size and complexity of the procedure. Recovery time can vary, but most patients are able to return to work and normal activities within two to three weeks.
As with any surgical procedure, the BBL procedure carries some risks, such as infection, bleeding, and changes in skin sensation. In rare cases, the injected fat can form lumps or become absorbed by the body unevenly, resulting in asymmetry or an irregular contour.
It is important to discuss the potential risks and benefits of the BBL procedure with a qualified plastic surgeon before deciding to undergo the procedure.
