A Brazilian What?!?

A Brazilian butt lift, also referred to as a BBL, is a buttock augmentation that uses the technique of fat grafting. This involves transferring fat from one area of the body into the tissues of the buttocks. The medical term for a Brazilian butt lift is gluteoplasty. The fat used in this procedure comes from the thighs, lower back, abdomen, or hips through liposuction. The surgery is a double win by removing excess fat from problem areas and enhancing the buttocks at the same time.

As we get older, our skin changes and becomes looser. Sun damage, fluctuation in weight, and genetic factors all contribute to our skin having poor elasticity. A Brazilian butt lift can increase the fullness, roundness, and projection of your buttocks. It helps to improve the balance of your figure. It positively increases your self-image and self-confidence as it addresses shapelessness and sagging.

During the procedure, you will be given anesthesia. The doctor then will remove fat from various areas of your body through liposuction. Once the fat is removed, it is purified. After purification, the fat is inserted into your buttocks creating a full, rounded look. The incisions from the fat transfer and liposuction are then stitched closed. The Brazilian butt lift provides a more natural looking result compared to buttock implants that use silicone.

The results of a Brazilian butt lift are immediately noticeable. It will, however, take some time for the final results to fully develop. While the results are long lasting, you will be able to retain your new look longer if you maintain your weight and keep a healthy lifestyle.

Why Have a BBL?

Genetics largely determine the shape and proportion of a person’s buttocks. Our skeletal structure and how our body stores fat influences the appearance of our butt region. If any of the following describe you, a Brazilian butt lift is an option to consider:

  • You want to enhance the curves of your lower body.
  • You want to reduce fat pockets on your hips, thighs, or belly while adding fullness to your buttocks.
  • You want your clothing to fit more attractively.
  • You want a more youthful, aesthetically pleasing shape over flat buttocks.
  • You want to enhance your overall proportions by improving the balance between your upper and lower body.
