Brazilian Butt Lift

What is Butt Aesthetics (BBL- Brazilian Butt)? How Is The Surgery?

Butt aesthetics procedures have been performed for many years, with more reliable and satisfactory methods being developed every day. Among these, the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) has become increasingly popular. This procedure involves removing excess fat from certain areas of the body and transferring it to the hips, helping patients achieve their desired hip shape and volume. Although choosing to undergo Brazilian butt surgery is a personal decision, there are specific criteria that must be met for the operation to be performed. Continue reading this article for answers to questions such as what a BBL is, how the surgery is performed, and other detailed information on the topic.

What is Butt Aesthetics?

A curvy body is widely considered a symbol of beauty. To achieve this ideal, many people”especially women”focus on diet and physical activity. However, this journey can be lengthy and exhausting, and the desired results aren't always attainable. At this stage, aesthetic procedures become an option. For years, implants have been used to enhance the shape and size of the breasts and buttocks. Recently, though, new techniques have made it possible to achieve a fuller, shapelier figure without the need for implants.

Butt aesthetics involves both enhancing and reducing the size of the buttocks to achieve the desired shape. One of the most popular techniques today is the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), which uses excess fat removed from another part of the body and transfers it to the buttocks. However, this procedure does not address issues with sagging skin or tissue. If you are concerned about sagging, consult your doctor to discuss whether you are a good candidate for this procedure or if other options may be better suited for you.

What is Brazilian Butt Lift?

BBL consists of the abbreviation of the first letters of the words "Brazilian Butt Lift". Apart from these, it is also known as hip augmentation with fat injection or safe subcutaneous buttock augmentation (SSBA). BBL aesthetic is a procedure that enlarges and lifts the buttocks to improve the appearance of the buttocks in addition to removing fat from certain parts of the body. By looking at its name, many people may mistake it for a lifting procedure, such as a facelift. But the Brazilian butt has a different procedure.

So how are butt lift and augmentation applications performed?

How is the Brazilian Butt Lift Operation Performed?

Butt augmentation surgery is an elective procedure performed for aesthetic reasons. While the decision to undergo surgery is highly personal, there are important conditions that must be met before you can have a BBL. You must be over 18 years old, as performing this surgery before full growth and development can impact the permanence of the results and may not be medically advisable. Additionally, candidates must have enough body fat available for transfer, as a sufficient amount of adipose tissue is required for the procedure.

If you have no physical barriers to surgery, your doctor will also assess your mental health by asking several questions. They'll want to ensure that you are choosing this procedure for your own reasons, not because of pressure from a partner or others, and that your expectations are realistic and not influenced by a distorted body image. After a thorough evaluation, if your doctor is confident there are no physical or psychological concerns, you will be cleared to proceed with the surgery.

Many people wonder how hip lift surgery is performed. The Brazilian Butt Lift is carried out by a plastic surgeon as an outpatient procedure and includes anesthesia. Before surgery, your doctor will identify the best areas of your body for fat extraction, typically from the hips, thighs, or lower back. The procedure is done in two stages: first, excess fat is removed through liposuction; then, that fat is purified and injected into the buttocks to achieve the desired shape and volume.

Healing Process After Brazilian Butt Lift Aesthetics

The most challenging part of the recovery period after a butt lift typically lasts about two weeks. During this time, you should avoid putting any pressure on your hips, meaning you shouldn't sit directly on your buttocks or lie on your back. After two weeks, you can begin returning to your normal daily activities. When you do start sitting again, you may be advised to use a special medical pillow with a hole in the center to help prevent pressure on your hips until full healing occurs.

By the eighth week after surgery, you can usually sit without restrictions. Full recovery is generally achieved after six months, at which point any swelling should be gone and the final, permanent results are more visible. Buttock augmentation provides long-lasting results, but maintaining those results requires you to keep a stable weight over time.

Who Can Have Butt Aesthetics?

Butt aesthetics is a personal decision and anyone can have it done. However, some criteria are taken into consideration in order not to put the person's health at risk and to increase the permanence of the procedure. These criteria include:
Being over the age of 18, having completed the growth and development period

Those who want butt augmentation without implants

People who have a sufficient amount of fat mass in the body to be transferred to the hip

Having a good hip skin tone

Having realistic expectations about the surgery

Persons who can comply with the requirements to be considered in the recovery process

And finally, people who are knowledgeable about the risks of surgery are good candidates for butt aesthetics.

Is There an Age Limit for Butt Aesthetics?

Butt aesthetics is a permanent procedure. The permanence of the procedure depends on the person staying at a constant weight and not experiencing changes in the area where the procedure is applied. The period of growth and development, on the other hand, is a period when the changes are still occurring in the body, and the weight is far from being stable. For this reason, butt aesthetics is not applied to individuals under the age of 18.

Do Men Also Get Butt Aesthetics?

Although butt aesthetics is popular among women, there are no restrictions regarding the gender applied. Butt aesthetics can be applied to everyone, whether male or female, as long as they meet the necessary conditions.

When Does Butt Aesthetics Show Its Effect?

You will notice the effect of butt aesthetics immediately after surgery. However, there may be swelling in the area where the surgery is performed, as is the case after most surgeries for a period of time. However, after the healing process has passed, the swelling in the butt will go down and get its original appearance. The Brazilian butt effect can last for a few years or more than a decade. It is useful to maintain a constant weight in order to protect the effects of the procedure. As you get older, the effects of surgery may decrease as a result of changes in the body.

What is the Difference of BBL (Brazilian Butt), The Most Commonly Preferred Butt Aesthetic?

Although BBL has become popular recently among butt aesthetics, butt lift is a procedure that has been preferred and applied for a long time. The other known butt aesthetic option is the butt implant. Butt implant is not preferred by most people because it has an unnatural appearance. In addition, the Brazilian butt contains a fairly low risk of complications when applied by an experienced surgeon. A butt implant, on the other hand, has more infections and additional risks after surgery. The increase in the size of the implant-free hips with a natural appearance is one of the most important features that distinguishes the Brazilian butt from other methods.
