Brazilian Butt Lift BBL

What a Brazilian Butt Lift BBL Is

The Brazilian Butt Lift, a BBL, has become the fastest-growing cosmetic surgery in the United States. Although the name Brazilian Butt Lift connotates a cosmetic lifting procedure, it is a filling procedure, not a lift! A Brazilian Butt Lift surgery represents the buttock's augmentation and reshaping with fat transfer of the entire buttock cheek and the lateral hips. An alternative is buttock augmentation with a silicone implant. In the later surgical option, a silicone implant is positioned over the central buttock region within the gluteus maximus muscle in the later plastic surgery procedure. Buttock implant augmentation is limited to the central buttock cheek only.

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is treated here as a complex procedure, and several measures must be taken to optimize results. These measures include preoperative preparation, following specific intraoperative protocols, and complying with postoperative instructions, and using a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized training. These measures are advocated to ensure maximum fat cell viability and maintain gained results.

Preoperative Planning for a Brazilian Butt Lift

Preoperative planning starts by consuming at least 150 grams of protein per day. Optimizing protein intake will ensure that your blood protein, called albumin is normal to high, thus preventing unnecessary leakage of fluid from the vessels into the soft tissues. Fat cells rely on the diffusion of nutrients for survival, and excess fluid around the cell will prevent the cell from receiving nutrients. Protein is also named as the capacity to heal port sites or longer incisions, for example if a lateral thigh and buttock tuck is needed. Activity restrictions may extend up to one month after surgery until healing is completed. This means taking time off work and having appropriate assistance following surgery.

Surgical planning inventories all of your body mass fat stores so the buttock and the body can be contoured and so adequate fat is available for the desired goals. Communicating the desired buttock look uses the Brazilian Buttock Assessment Tool. The Brazilian Buttock Assessment Tool allows patients to choose between several altered buttock shapes and sizes for their body type using caricatures.

Intraoperative Protocols for a Brazilian Butt Lift BBL

Intraoperative protocols are aimed at fat graft viability. VASER liposuction harvests fat cells during a Brazilian butt-lift procedure, allows optimized body contouring, and harvests single-cell fat tissues. Ultrasound energy is said to remove fat uniformly for high-definition body contouring.

Negative pressure on the fat cells is limited during harvesting and injecting. Pressure can harm cells just like if you are a scuba diver, you can get the bends from being exposed to higher underwater pressure changes. A closed-loop system with a controlled fat expression and delivery roller is used instead of traditional syringes. Fat transfer techniques minimize transplant or out-of-body time to less than 30 minutes. Out-of-body time is the delay from when the fat cells are sucked out to when they are reinjected. The closed loop canister system is said to autotransplant the fat cells promptly. The same closed-loop canister plus antibiotic irrigation washes the fat cells. Processing removes the liquid portion of the aspirate to compact the fat cells.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons describes liposuction as a surgical procedure that involves the removal of excess fat from specific areas of the body. That description does not set the less than 30 minutes out-of-body clock, the 90 % viability figure, or the 40 % harvest increase named on this page.

When minimal to moderate sagging is present, the Renuvion J plasma skin tightening tool can be utilized. This modality is said to address skin laxity of the back, flanks, lateral thighs, and buttocks without requiring an incision line. If moderate to severe buttocks sagging excess skin is present, a lateral thigh tuck may be considered to eliminate either lower back and flank or lateral thigh loose skin redundancy. In summary, sculpting and contouring of the entire back, buttocks, and legs are required to achieve superior buttocks-shaping results.

Complying with Postoperative Brazilian Butt Lift Instructions

Following your Brazilian Buttocks lift, you will awaken from general anesthesia and find yourself wrapped with customized compression garments with foam inlays. You may also have some drains that you will need to care for. One of the biggest myths regarding the Brazilian buttock lift is the required use of a special pillow. Cosmetic surgeons who advocate using specialized pillows likely have a higher incidence of buttock volume loss. On the contrary, buttock volume loss is not due to not sitting on a special pillar but rather due to poor surgical technique, suboptimal surgical protocols, or poor compliance postoperatively. Instead, patients should be enumerated in the appropriate postoperative protocols. These include avoiding sitting in any one position for more than an hour.

Specifically, sitting upright is entirely safe as this involves sitting on your lower hip bone, called the ischium, where no fat is transferred. A couch and sleep can put weight on the central buttocks cheek. Cells will tolerate up to one hour of pressure without fat necrosis. Patients are taught modified positions and to move from each side to their back continually. When you sleep, your body automatically will turn for you, so don't worry. Skin is more sensitive to pressure necrosis than fat cells, so skin loss would show before the fat loss. Just so you know, a final precaution you must consider revolves around minimizing unnecessary swelling. The first measure is a balanced diet high in protein, and the second is to wear compression garments. Transferred fat has no direct access to blood vessels for the first 5 to 7 days, and excessive swelling blocks the nutrients those cells would get through diffusion.

How Our Patients Feel About Us

These testimonials describe a breast reduction, a March procedure, and cheekbones with crows feet, and they are not buttock surgery reviews.

I think I looked 10 years younger almost immediately...

I had a great experience at SurgiSculpt. I wanted to look a little younger and fresher for my daughters wedding day, so I booked an appointment not quite sure what I needed. SurgiSculpt was wonderful he suggested a couple of procedures that I had not even thought of and were amazing. He plumped up my cheekbones and took away some of my crows feet. I think I looked 10 years younger almost immediately.
