What is involved in the Brazilian butt lift?
The Brazilian butt lift, oftentimes referred to as a BBL, is a special procedure during which the patient obtains liposuction elsewhere on the body to harvest fat cells. This is commonly done in the thighs or abdominal area, and even along the flanks to remove the dreaded “muffin top.” Then, this fat is injected into the buttocks to improve the overall shape and volume in a strategic manner. The Brazilian butt lift is often more desirable than using a permanent implant in the buttocks for an augmentation procedure and typically helps patients obtain a more natural appearance and final result.
How long will the results of a Brazilian butt lift last?
The results of the Brazilian butt lift will last many years, though patients should be aware that weight gain and weight loss will affect the look of the buttocks. This is because the fat cells injected into the area will grow or decrease in size just as fat cells on the rest of the body do. Patients may want to be at their goal weight before investing in a Brazilian butt lift to contour their back and keep the results longer.
