Brazilian Butt Lift for a Smoother, Pleasing Buttock Contour

If you feel that your butt is too small or are unhappy with its general shape, or have asymmetrical, flat or sagging buttocks, then getting a Brazilian butt lift in NYC may be the solution. The procedure enhances the buttocks using the patient’s own fat and is the ideal option for women who don’t want implants. Performed by expert plastic surgeons, BBL results in youthful, prominent, perky buttocks and a more sensual body profile.

The demand for Brazilian butt lift surgery has increased over the years. The latest plastic surgery statistics report of American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) notes that about 24,099 buttock augmentations with fat grafting were performed in 2018, which is a 19% increase from the previous year. 

Traditional BBL is done under general anesthesia. Leading NYC plastic surgeons perform the Brazilian butt lift using local anesthesia (BBLULA). This procedure provides all the benefits of the conventional BBL but without the risk of general anesthesia and related complications. 

BBL procedure improves the contour, size and shape of the buttocks using your own fat.  Fat is first extracted from different areas of the body including the arm pit, the mid back or bra rolls, flanks, outer thighs, inner thighs, abdomen as well as other areas of the body through liposuction. This fat is then carefully processed and purified and only the best donor fat cells are re-injected into your buttocks to provide the desired enhancement. 

The ideal candidate for BBL is a person who has an appropriate body type to be able to harvest enough fat to make an effective change to the buttocks during transfer. Candidates should be healthy and have realistic expectations about the outcome. Leading a healthy lifestyle post-procedure is necessary to maintain the results. 

You will need to wear a special compression garment for up to 4 – 6 weeks in order to control swelling. Minimize the amount of pressure or sitting or time you spend sitting for first 3 – 4 weeks after surgery to maximize the graft survival. Whenever you want to sit, use a donut pillow or inflatable pillow for short periods (not more than 10 minutes at a time). You must sleep face down or on your side for at least 1 week. You should avoid doing any strenuous activity for up to four weeks after the procedure. 

The combination of the post-operative swelling as well as the relative overfilling of the buttocks will make shape and volume of the buttocks appear quite enhanced in the early phase. The final results will take at least a year to appear, after the body reabsorbs the fat that leads to the initial shape just after surgery.

Plastic surgeons who are experts in performing Brazilian butt lift surgery are specialized in both liposuction and fat transfer.  If fat removal is not performed properly, it can result in bumps and deformities. Injecting the fat at the right depth is necessary to ensure proper absorption of the fat, and importantly, to prevent serious complications. The right surgeon can provide excellent augmentation and contouring results, and help you achieve a youthful looking, attractive posterior.
