Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) Surgery
What is Buttock Augmentation?
Buttock augmentation, also known as “Brazilian Butt Lift” (BBL) surgery, is a cosmetic procedure approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This procedure primarily relies on self-fat injections, where fat is liposuctioned from specific areas of the body with excess fat, such as the abdomen or thighs, and then transferred and injected into the buttocks. This procedure is effective in enhancing and enlarging the shape of the buttocks, while also helping to eliminate excess fat from unwanted areas.
In addition, there is another method for buttock augmentation using filler injections, which involves the placement of silicone implants in the buttocks to achieve a fuller, rounder appearance. Buttock augmentation surgery aims to enhance the shape of the buttocks, making them more attractive by lifting and contouring them to appear more rounded and natural.
Techniques Used in Buttock Augmentation
Auto-Fat Technique for Buttock Enhancement
The Auto-Fat technique is one of the most prominent methods used for buttock augmentation, and it is known for being a completely safe procedure. Instead of introducing synthetic materials, this technique relies on using the patient’s own fat, which is extracted from areas with excess fat. The fat is liposuctioned using Vaser technology from areas such as the abdomen or thighs, then purified and separated from other substances like blood and water. After the purification process, the fat is injected into the buttocks using a fine needle.
One of the key advantages of this technique is that it typically does not cause any serious side effects, as it uses the body’s own fat. It is important to clarify that, although the procedure involves liposuction, the goal is not weight loss, but rather enhancing the shape and increasing the volume of the buttocks.
Implant Technique for Buttock Enhancement
Silicone implants for buttock augmentation are one of the surgical options available for enhancing the area. Unlike the self-fat injection technique, this method involves surgically inserting silicone implants into the buttocks. These implants are primarily used to address issues such as a small or sagging buttocks.
The doctor begins by making a small surgical incision above the buttock muscles, then inserts the silicone implants into the area to be augmented. This procedure aims to improve the appearance of the buttocks, making them fuller and giving them a more natural look.
Who are the Ideal Candidates for Buttock Augmentation?
There are several conditions that individuals seeking buttock augmentation must meet. Some of the key requirements include:
- The individual must be in good health and free from any medical conditions that could hinder the ability to undergo surgery.
- Individuals who have asymmetrical buttock sizes, such as a noticeable difference between the two sides.
- Individuals who wish to enlarge their buttocks due to their small size.
- Individuals who experience sagging or drooping in the buttock area.
- Individuals who suffer from atrophy of the gluteal muscles, resulting in an imbalance in size.
- Since weight loss may impact the results of the surgery, individuals who have undergone buttock augmentation should avoid planning for weight loss in the future.
Meeting these conditions helps ensure the success of the procedure and achieve satisfying results.
Important Tips Before Undergoing Buttock Augmentation
- Quit Smoking: It is recommended to stop smoking at least 6 weeks before the surgery to reduce the risk of complications and improve recovery.
- Avoid Certain Medications and Supplements: It is important to refrain from taking certain medications and supplements. Aspirin, ibuprofen, and herbal supplements. As they may increase the risk of bleeding during surgery.
- Follow the Doctor’s Instructions: It is crucial to adhere to all the instructions and guidelines provided by the doctor before the surgery to ensure the safety and success of the procedure.
- Prepare for an Outpatient Procedure: Since buttock augmentation is typically performed on an outpatient basis, it is advisable to bring a companion to accompany you home after the surgery.
- Choose the Right Surgeon: Ensure you select a certified plastic surgeon and a clinic with recognized qualifications to guarantee the procedure is performed safely and effectively.
Important Tips After Buttock Augmentation
To ensure a quick and safe recovery after buttock augmentation, it is essential to carefully follow the doctor’s instructions. Some important tips include:
- Avoid sitting or lying on your buttocks for extended periods for at least one week after the surgery.
- Wear the specialized compression garment for buttock augmentation for at least three weeks.
- Avoid exercise or strenuous activities for at least one month after the surgery.
- Be careful not to lose weight suddenly, as it may affect the stability of the transferred fat in the area.
- Continue performing buttock exercises to maintain the results of the surgery for at least ten years.
Stages of Buttock Augmentation with Fat Injections
- Preparation Stage: The doctor begins by examining the buttock area to accurately identify the issue and create a plan for the procedure.
- Anesthesia Stage: The patient is fully anesthetized before entering the operating room.
- Marking Stage: The doctor identifies areas of the body with fat deposits to be liposuctioned.
- Liposuction Stage: The Vaser technique is used to suction fat from the selected areas to improve body contour.
- Fat Injection Stage: The extracted fat is processed and purified to remove impurities, then it is precisely injected into the buttocks using fine needles.
- Recovery Stage: The procedure typically takes between one to two hours, depending on the specifics of the operation.
Stages of Buttock Augmentation with Implants
Buttock augmentation with implants is similar to the fat injection procedure in most stages, with the exception of one stage:
- Incision and Insertion Stage: The doctor makes a small surgical incision in the lower part of the buttocks. Then, silicone implants are inserted into the designated area, either under the skin or beneath the muscles, depending on the surgeon’s assessment of the most suitable approach for the patient.
