Procedure
Brazilian butt lift (Gluteal fat transfer)
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), also known as Gluteal Fat Transfer, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that enhances the shape and size of the buttocks by using the patient’s own body fat. It involves liposuction to harvest excess fat from areas with surplus fat, such as the abdomen, waistline, back or thighs.
The purified fat is then carefully injected into the buttocks to achieve a fuller and more rounded appearance. BBL is a popular option for individuals seeking a natural and shapely enhancement of their buttocks while simultaneously benefiting from body contouring through liposuction. Dr. Sahar’s interest in gluteal fat transfer goes beyond the procedure itself. He has investigated the safety of gluteal augmentation methods and has utilizes the safest method to achieve optimal results. (2019) Dr. Sahar performs uBBL (Ultrasound Guided BBL) for all patients, which is the safest method to transfer the harvested adipose tissue to the gluteal region.
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), also known as Gluteal Fat Transfer, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that enhances the shape and size of the buttocks by using the patient's own body fat. Here is more information about this popular procedure:
Procedure:
- Liposuction: The procedure begins with liposuction, where excess fat is removed from areas of the body with an ample fat supply, such as the abdomen, back, thighs, or flanks. Fluid with medication is used to reduce bleeding and post operation pain.
- Fat Processing: The harvested fat is processed to remove impurities and excess fluids, leaving behind healthy fat cells.
- Fat Injection: The purified fat cells are carefully injected into the buttocks under Ultrasound guidance to increase volume and improve shape. This involves multiple injections to achieve the desired results through small incisions.
- Suturing and Dressing: Once the fat is successfully transferred, the incisions are sutured closed, and a dressing or compression garment is applied to support the healing process.
Recovery:
Recovery from a Brazilian Butt Lift can vary but generally involves some swelling and discomfort, which typically subsides over time. Patients are advised to avoid sitting or lying directly on their buttocks for a few weeks to allow the newly transferred fat to settle and establish a blood supply.Results:
The results of a Brazilian Butt Lift are typically noticeable immediately, although they may evolve as swelling subsides. Patients can enjoy a fuller, more rounded buttock contour, and the procedure provides a more natural look and feel compared to buttock implants.Benefits:
- Natural Enhancement: A Brazilian Butt Lift uses the patient's own fat, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or implant-related complications, and results in a natural appearance.
- Dual Benefit: The procedure simultaneously sculpts donor areas through liposuction, offering body contouring benefits.
- Minimally Invasive: Compared to buttock implant surgery, BBL is less invasive and typically results in smaller, less conspicuous incisions and faster recovery.
Risks and Considerations:
As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks, including infection, scarring, changes in buttock appearance, asymmetry and complications related to DVT or anesthesia. Why we recommend uBBL (Ultrasound guided BBL)? The short answer is, it saves lives. It's important to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to discuss the expected results and any potential complications.Consultation:
If you are considering a Brazilian Butt Lift, consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can assess your unique situation, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan. The surgeon will evaluate your buttock shape, available fat supply, and specific goals to determine the most appropriate techniques to achieve the desired outcome.heading
