Do you dream about having a more curvaceous, plump, and well-defined butt? A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) could be right for you.
Dr. Scott Green, one of the foremost cosmetic plastic surgeons in the Sacramento, California, area, can help you get fuller buttocks that enhance your natural body contours. How do you know if it’s right for you? Read on to find out.
What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
A Brazilian Butt Lift combines liposuction with fat transfer. Traditional butt augmentation involves using silicone implants to plump the backside. With BBL, you can avoid the risks that may come with implants.
BBL involves lipostructure — a process in which Dr. Green adds tissue to an area that lacks it to create an improved structure and appearance. In BBL, Dr. Green uses a long tube (cannula) to remove fat.
The cannula is only about 1/16th of an inch wide, making it excellent for precise fat removal. He purifies the fat and then injects it into your buttocks to create the look you desire.
BBL is a win-win proposition. You get to slim down the areas where you have extra fat, and then use that fat to shape the butt you’ve always wanted.
Good Candidates for Brazilian Butt Lift
Good candidates for BBL meet specific guidelines, including:
- Nonsmoker: Smoking can prevent healing, so if you smoke, Dr. Green recommends quitting before your BBL.
- Good general health: You should have no health problems that prevent normal healing.
- Desire for change: Good candidates are currently unhappy with the size and/or shape of their butt.
- Extra fat: You need pockets of fat to draw from, such as the belly or thighs.
- Realistic expectations: Knowing what a BBL can and can’t do is important. Dr. Green and our team take the time to explain the procedure and outline what kind of results you can expect.
- Understanding of recovery guidelines: It takes a couple of weeks for the newly transplanted fat to settle in. During that time, you need to sleep on your tummy and avoid sitting as much as possible.
- Commitment to maintaining results: Dr. Green creates a beautiful backside, but it’s up to you to keep it. Committing to a healthy lifestyle, with good nutrition and fitness plan, is vital.
