Brazilian Butt Lift: A Brazilian buttock lift (BBL) is a procedure that combines liposuction with augmentation. Liposuction surgery is used to get rid of extra fat from places like the belly, hips, lower back, and thighs. For removal, a cosmetic surgeon inserts a cannula that is attached to a suction.
The fat that is removed is then prepped for injection into portions of the buttocks to improve their size and contour. As a percentage of the transplanted fat may not respond to the transfer in some situations, cosmetic surgeons may infuse more than is needed to ensure your expectations and goals are met. Re-grafting could be required years later if the bulk of the cells don’t survive.
Despite the fact that the treatment is referred to as a lift, it does not use the same techniques as the thigh or arm lifts. Besides, loose skin surrounding the area is also not addressed by the procedure.
Intravenous anesthesia, General anesthesia, and/or a mix of localized and mild by-mouth anesthesia, can be used to complete the procedure. Moreover, the anesthesia type you receive is determined by your comfort level and, subsequently, by what your cosmetic surgeon feels is the healthiest and most practical option for you.

What are the advantages of a Brazilian Butt Lift?
The following are some of the advantages of this technique:
-Enhances the proportions of the entire body
-Improves the curves of your body
-improve the shape and volume of the buttocks
-Flat Buttocks are given a boost of thickness and perkiness.
-Fat in the belly, hips, thighs, and lower back is reduced.
Who Should Have This Procedure Done?
Those who no longer have curves because of weight change or aging and desire a younger figure are good candidates for Brazilian butt lifts. Patients must also have sufficient fat pockets for transplanting.
A healthy body weight, physical activity, diet, and a nonsmoker, are some other requirements for this procedure. So it’s critical to speak with a board-certified cosmetic surgeon about your alternatives prior to making a final decision.
Is a Butt Implant Different from a Brazilian Butt Lift?
A Brazilian buttock lift involves the insertion of fat into your derriere to produce a natural-looking rear-end. Butt implants, on the other hand, entail the implantation of silicone into your bottom. Butt implants have been known for not being as natural-looking and a more intrusive choice. It also has a higher chance of causing infection and may lead to capsular contracture. Capsular contracture happens when the implant is squeezed and hardened by internal tissue and bruising. Because the implant might also become misplaced, the procedure may need to be repeated.
Patients that have low body fat, on the other hand, typically do not have significant amounts of fat to be transferred, and implants could be the only method to get the desired outcome.
What Should I Expect During Recovery?
First and foremost, be sure to follow your cosmetic surgeon’s recommendations after surgery. For two weeks, you’ll have to lie on your side or belly. Although your surgeon will prescribe pain medicine, the pain will be mild. After one week, you should be able to resume moderate everyday activities. However, you should not work out or handle heavy items.
Your cosmetic surgeon will assess if you’ve healed sufficiently to rest on your buttocks with pillows below your thighs. Besides, you won’t be able to sit normally for about two months, but you’ll be able to return to work after about 2 weeks.
It may take six months for the wound to heal completely and for the final outcome to appear. At three months, fat retention capacity is almost certain.
