Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure
Who's A Good Candidate For A Brazilian Butt Lift?
Does The Fat Stay After BBL?
Rated 4.7/5 Stars On Google ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Brazilian Butt Lift, and how does it work?
A BBL is a surgical procedure that uses liposuction to remove excess fat from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or back, which is then purified and injected into the buttocks to enhance shape and volume.
How long does the BBL procedure take?
The procedure typically lasts 2-4 hours, depending on the amount of fat being transferred and other individual factors.
What is the recovery time for a BBL?
Most people can return to light activities after 1-2 weeks, but sitting directly on the buttocks should be avoided for about 2-3 weeks. Full recovery may take 6-8 weeks.
Is a BBL permanent?
Yes, but not all of the transferred fat cells will survive. On average, about 60-80% of the transferred fat remains long-term, meaning the results are largely permanent with a stable weight.
Will I lose volume if I lose weight after a BBL?
Yes, as the transferred fat behaves like regular fat cells. Significant weight loss can affect the size and shape of the results.
How soon can I sit down after a BBL?
You should avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for 2-3 weeks post-procedure. Special pillows or cushions can help you sit without putting pressure on the area.
Can I combine a BBL with other procedures?
Yes, a BBL can often be combined with other procedures like tummy tucks or breast lifts, but it depends on your health and your surgeon’s recommendations.
