Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery

• A firm and rounded butt is considered a sign of femininity.
• Ideally, the buttock should project as far back as the plane of the upper back projection. Another guide is breast projection; the buttock should project back as far as the breast projects forward. 
• Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the world. This cosmetic surgery does not use any implants. In fact, it makes use of your own fat to make your buttocks look round, full, and high. For this, the cosmetic surgeon first performs liposuction to remove unwanted or excess fat from surrounding areas such as thighs, hips, abdomen, back, etc. Then, some of the fat will be injected into the buttocks. A BBL procedure also helps improve the ratio between the buttocks, waist, and hips.

Why Should I Have a Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery?

Many people might be unhappy with their flat buttocks, though they follow a healthy lifestyle. This can greatly affect the appearance of your lower body. A Brazilian butt lift can help reshape your buttocks, hips, thighs, and lower back. A BBL can do the following:

• Improves the curves of your lower body
• Adds fullness to buttocks and at the same time reduces fat deposits on hips, abdomen, or thighs
• Your clothing will fit perfectly 
• Gives a pleasing look to your buttocks
• Improves balance between your upper and lower body

Am I Eligible for a Brazilian Butt Lift?

Though BBL is effective at improving the shape and size of your buttocks, there are certain criteria to undergo a BBL. It is suitable for both men and women who have flat or small buttocks. If you want to undergo a BBL, you should qualify for the following:

• Should have a healthy weight
• Should be at least 18 years old with good health
• Should have enough excess fat to be used for a butt lift. If not, you can choose to undergo butt implants surgery
• Should have realistic expectations
• Looking for buttock augmentation without using implants

A Brazilian butt lift cannot treat loose and sagging skin on the buttocks. If you are worried about excess and sagging skin on the buttocks, then you can undergo thigh and butt lift surgery.

Before the Brazilian Butt Lift

During your initial consultation with the surgeon, she will consider various factors such as your health, reason for the surgery, your expectations, etc. The surgeon also asks you about any pre-existing health conditions. You should inform your surgeon if you are allergic to any medications. You should inform about the medications that you are using. You should avoid smoking a few weeks before your surgery.

The surgeon will determine the areas that can be used for fat harvesting such as thighs, hips, lower back, etc. You should ask any concerns you may have before undergoing the procedure.

What Happens During a Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery?

A Brazilian butt lift surgery involves 3 steps namely:

• Harvesting fat from hips, thighs, or lower abdomen using liposuction
• Purifying the collected fat and preparing it for transfer
• Injecting the purified fat into the buttocks

Before performing the procedure, the surgeon will give you anesthesia to make you fall asleep. The surgeon will make small incisions to insert a cannula into the fatty areas. Now, the excess fat is removed using the cannula and a syringe. The surgeon determines the amount of fat to be extracted based on your health status. Now, the collected fat will be purified and prepared for injection into your buttocks.

Now, the surgeon makes 3 to 5 small incisions around your buttocks. Now, the purified fat is injected from the incisions to give a rounded and full look to your buttocks. After completing the procedure, all the liposuction and fat transfer incisions are closed with stitches. The surgeon wraps the affected areas with a compression garment to reduce the risk of bleeding.

Aftercare and Recovery from a Brazilian Butt Lift

You may have soreness and pain at the affected site. You will be monitored for a few hours and then you will be discharged once you are in a stable condition. You should follow the instructions given by your surgeon for a faster recovery.

You may also have pain after the procedure, but it can be managed with pain medications. For around 2 weeks after the procedure, you should not lie or sit on your buttocks. You should lie on your side or on your stomach. When you feel better, your surgeon will allow you to sit by placing a pillow under your thighs to reduce pressure on your buttocks. You can start doing lighter daily activities within a week.

During your first month of surgery, you should avoid strenuous exercises and should have high-protein food to promote healing. If your surgeon approves, you can perform lower body exercises to strengthen your glutes. It can take up to six months to completely recover from a BBL surgery.

The results of the procedure last for many years. But you should maintain a stable weight to preserve the effects of a Brazilian butt lift surgery.
