What is a Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery?

A Brazilian butt lift or buttock augmentation, scientifically known as Gluteoplasty, is a plastic surgery procedure done for the aesthetic enhancement of the contour of the buttocks. The main purpose of BBL surgery is to offer the aesthetic shape, size, and volume to the buttocks via the process of fat transfer or buttock implants based on the patient's anatomical status, surgical goal, and realistic expectations.

At Dr. Karishma Aesthetics, Bangalore, Dr. Karishma Kagodu, MS, M CH., a well-known board-certified plastic surgeon in India, uses the technique for fat transfer by harvesting fat from other areas of the body (like abdomen, hips, lower back, thighs,) and injecting it into your buttocks. The other technique is of using Implants to augment the butt region. As a result, BBL surgery gives you a more hourglass-shaped figure with aesthetically enhanced buttocks.

One can have a dual benefit of Brazilian butt lift surgery, one with enhanced buttocks. Second, they get a smaller waist if the fat comes from their abdomen or lower back. Dr. Karishma removes the fat using liposuction. Thus, the unwanted fat is sucked out from localized body areas. After the purification step, it is further transferred to the buttocks.

Who is the right candidate for BBL Surgery?

A Brazilian butt lift can be a good option for you if:

·       You are physically fit and in generally good health.

·       You have extra or localized fat deposits in your body that can be transferred to the buttocks.

·       You want buttock enhancement with a rounder and more aesthetic contour.

·       You are ready to give at least eight weeks of recovery time and can avoid sitting or sleeping on your buttocks for eight weeks after surgery.

Why Should you Choose BBL Surgery?

Following are the top reasons that raise the request for BBL surgery:

·       Flat buttocks

·       Lack of buttocks shape and projection

·       Low butt volume

·       You have undergone significant weight loss and lost buttocks volume and shape

·       After pregnancy/childbirth, your butt lost the aesthetic contour

·       You want a more proportionate butt size.

The steps of BBL surgery:

1.    Brazilian butt lift surgery involves two steps first, the extraction of fat via liposuction, and second the augmentation/transfer of fat into areas of the buttocks.

2.    Firstly, the fat is extracted from the areas such as the abdomen, hips, lower back, or thighs using the liposuction technique.

3.    A thin tube called a cannula is connected to a vacuum for the extraction.

4.    Next, the extracted fat is prepared/purified for transfer and injected into areas of the buttocks.

5.    In case of Silicone implants – an appropriate butt implant size is chosen after detailed measurements and understanding what you desire. The implant is inserted through a small cut in between your buttock cleft.

BBL surgery with fat leaves the probability for fat regrafting in the near future if a majority of fat cells do not endure.

How Is a Brazilian Butt Lift Different from Buttock Implants?

·       BBL is a common term used for any procedure (implant or fat) done to enhance the buttocks.

·       Buttock implants may carry risks such as capsular contracture, pain, infections, discomforts, and problems with how the implant looks. But, a BBL surgery is a risk-free procedure because fat is extracted from the patient's body for enhancement.

·       Many may be worries about the possibility of Fat Embolism with fat grafting. With the latest advances in science and sophisticated instrumentation used at Dr Karishma Aesthetics, the incidence of this complication is extremely rare.

·       Buttock implants are good for those patients who do not have enough extra fat in the body to transfer for a successful Brazilian butt lift.
