Who doesn’t want to look younger and more shapely? Getting a Brazilian Butt Lift can restore your figure to the appearance of youth and vitality – when even exercise hasn’t done it for you.
A Brazilian butt lift is a type of buttocks augmentation surgery that uses a combination of liposuction and fat injections to lift the buttocks and provide a larger more pleasing shape. If you are bothered by a flat or sagging buttocks area, considering buttocks enlargement may be for you.
Why Get a Brazilian Buttocks Enhancement Procedure?
In years past, the “look” that everyone wanted to achieve was “thin is in”. Not so anymore! With the popularity of celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce, people - both men and women want to see a more normal, healthy appearance.
A large healthy buttocks area has traditionally given the impression of fertility and vitality but some women are born with a flatter buttocks area. In addition, as women age and have children the tissues of the butt region can fall and sag.
This prevents many women from wearing tight fitting, youthful clothing and can certainly make one too embarrassed to wear a bathing suit. So, if you are looking to show off your body, the Brazilian butt lift surgery can provide a great looking rear without artificial implants.
What to Consider if You are Interested in a Brazilian Butt Lift
The ideal candidate for a BBL procedure is someone who is in good health, has enough fat available for harvesting via liposuction, and is looking for a natural-looking butt enhancement without implants.
It’s especially beneficial for women who have lost volume in the buttocks due to aging, pregnancy, or significant weight changes.
If you are near your ideal body weight and have realistic expectations about what a Brazilian butt lift can achieve, you may be a great candidate for this popular body contouring procedure.
Always consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to assess whether BBL surgery is the right fit for your goals and body type.
How is the Brazilian Butt Surgery Performed?
Brazilian buttlifts use fat removed from one section of your body such as the abdomen to fill in the buttocks enhancement area. Liposuction is used to contour the stomach or back.
The fat that has been removed is then purified and refined and injected to provide a specific improvement in the gluteal area.
In some cases, if there is too much skin on the lower section of the buttocks, this extra skin may be removed to provide a total plastic surgery butt enhancement.
How Long Do BBL Results Last?
One of the most common questions people ask about Brazilian butt lift surgery is: “How long do BBL results last?” The answer largely depends on how well the fat grafts take to the buttocks.
In general, 60-80% of the transferred fat survives after the initial healing period, and that surviving fat becomes a permanent part of your body.
Patients are advised to avoid direct pressure on the buttocks during the recovery phase and maintain a stable weight to preserve their BBL results for years. A healthy lifestyle and proper aftercare can dramatically extend the longevity of your surgical outcome.
How Long Does it Take to Recover from Butt Augmentation?
Following buttocks surgery, you will be required to stick to bed rest for several days. You may also be advised to wear a pressure garment to hold the new shape of your gluteal region in place.
Most patients will be advised not to sit directly on the new buttocks for a week or more but are able to return to work within 2 weeks.
Even though many patients report significant bruising and swelling and moderate pain following buttocks augmentation surgery, most people are completely happy with their new Brazilian buttocks after the swelling has completely subsided!
What Is the Cost of a Brazilian Butt Lift?
The cost of a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) can vary widely depending on factors such as the surgeon’s experience, geographic location, and whether liposuction is performed in multiple areas.
On average, Brazilian butt lift surgery can range from $7,000 to $15,000 in the United States. This estimate often includes anesthesia, facility fees, post-op garments, and follow-up appointments.
When considering BBL surgery, it’s essential to get a detailed quote during your consultation and to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in buttocks enhancement procedures.
