The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) treatment is becoming increasingly popular. If you want to add volume and curves to your buttocks and hips, this treatment may be right for you. However, because any invasive surgery is a life-altering decision, we will detail the benefits and drawbacks of BBL so you can make an informed decision about whether the treatment is best for you.

Pros
Natural-Looking Results
As a BBL uses your fat tissue to create volume in your buttocks, it can produce a more natural-looking result and feel. Many patients choose BBL over buttock implants because it does not need the implantation of a foreign object. Furthermore, with fat transfer injections, your surgeon has more control over redesigning your buttocks and can produce a BBL shape that fits naturally with your body.

Incisions are Small
Both liposuction and fat transfer injections require small incisions, so a BBL surgery leaves little scars. Liposuction involves 2-5 incisions, whereas ...
... fat transfer requires 4-8 incisions. However, the incisions are only a few millimeters long, and our surgeons take great care to position them in inconspicuous locations. Furthermore, with proper management, the scars will gradually dissolve and blend in with the rest of your skin.

Full Body Contour
Because liposuction is required to retrieve the fat grafts, a BBL gives you a full-body shape rather than only adding volume to your buttocks. For example, a BBL can give you slim legs and larger buttocks, as well as an hourglass form and a flat tummy. You might discuss with your surgeon which regions of excess fat you want to shape to contour your physique and improve your proportions.

Long-Lasting Results
One of the biggest benefits of BBL is that it produces permanent effects, unlike buttock injections, which require recurring procedures to maintain results. The fat grafts that survive and attach to your blood supply after the first shrinking phase will remain in place indefinitely, working similarly to other fat cells in your body.

Cons
It’s Surgery
BBL is an invasive procedure, thus some risks will be discussed fully with you during your appointment. The safety of BBL surgery, in particular, has been questioned for some time due to the high risk of fat embolisms associated with the procedure around the world.

Unpredictable Fat Survival
The initial volume that appears immediately after your BBL may decrease by 30-50% within 3-6 months because not all fat grafts will survive and attach to your blood supply. As a result, the volume obtained through the technique is rather unpredictable. However, an expert BBL surgeon can achieve the desired outcome by injecting the appropriate quantity of fat to compensate for the initial volume loss.

Weight Restrictions
Maintaining your BBL results will require some effort from your end. To maintain the volume and shape of your BBL in the long run, you should avoid losing or gaining weight, as this will distort your body's proportions and reduce the contouring results of both liposuction and fat transfer. If you are struggling to maintain your weight, our nutritionists provide weight loss programs that may be beneficial to you.

Strict Recovery
Because it takes many months for newly injected fat grafts to stabilize and merge with the surrounding tissue in your buttocks, you will need to follow some stringent aftercare and recovery guidelines. These include feeding the fat with a nutritious high-calorie meal, avoiding sitting on your buttocks for three weeks, and avoiding hard exercise for at least four weeks. However, by following these steps, you will increase the volume while maintaining the contouring results of your BBL.

Ideal BBL Candidate
You will need to meet with our BBL surgeon before we can certify your candidacy for the surgery. However, women and men with a BMI of 23-30 and no underlying health issues are usually eligible for the operation. If your BMI is less than 23, you may still be eligible for a slim BBL.

Is BBL Worth It?
Many patients believe that the numerous benefits outlined above exceed the procedure's negatives. Because the surgeon can account for the early shrinking effect, the weight limits promote a healthy lifestyle, and the tight recuperation is only a temporary annoyance, many patients believe the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
