BBL: How Does a Buttocks Augmentation Work?




The buttocks are generally a part of the female body that many women are dissatisfied with; they often wish to undergo surgery to achieve their dream figure and, in some cases, regain self-confidence. Whether round, curved, wide, flat, muscular, or slim, buttocks rarely manage to please those who have them. That’s why, in recent years, we’ve seen a major increase in the number of requests to modify them. Among all requests, buttock volume enhancement remains the star!

It is therefore crucial to work closely with the patient to define the best solution—one that meets their desires and suits their body type.

The Buttocks Augmentation Procedure

Buttocks augmentation, also known as Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), is a cosmetic procedure that increases volume and improves the shape of the buttocks using the patient’s own fat.

This aesthetic surgery procedure comes with a 10-year warranty and is covered against gluteal implant rupture.

Here is how the procedure generally unfolds.

The Initial BBL Consultation

The initial consultation takes place before the BBL procedure. The patient meets with a plastic surgeon specialized in buttocks augmentation to discuss goals, evaluate general health, assess available fat for transfer, and explain the procedure.

Liposuction Preparation

Liposuction preparation is essential for collecting the necessary fat for transfer. The surgeon performs liposuction on donor areas such as the abdomen, flanks, hips, or thighs. This step removes excess fat and sculpts the body's contours.

Fat Processing

The collected fat is then quickly processed. A centrifuge is used to separate fat cells from fluids and impurities. Once treated, the fat is ready to be reinjected into the buttocks!

Fat Injection

Fat injection is the key moment. The surgeon uses special techniques to inject the fat into different areas of the buttocks, depending on the patient’s aesthetic goals and the plan discussed beforehand. This creates a rounder, curvier, and more natural look.

Note that the duration of the procedure may vary:

Recovery

Recovery after a buttocks augmentation is, of course, a crucial phase. After the procedure, the patient may experience some discomfort, swelling, and bruising in the treated areas. Pain medication and post-op instructions will be provided to manage discomfort and support optimal healing.

An overnight stay of 2 to 3 nights in the clinic is usually necessary, with a return to daily activities after about 7 to 8 days.

The Results

The results of buttocks augmentation are visible immediately after the procedure, but initial swelling gradually subsides over the following weeks. The final result becomes more evident with time, so patience is key. Normal activities may resume after a few days or weeks, depending on the procedure. Specific recovery instructions will be provided by the surgeon.

It’s important to know that BBL procedures carry risks like any surgery. It must be performed by a skilled and qualified plastic surgeon to ensure safety and satisfactory aesthetic results.
