A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is a cosmetic procedure that both Dr. Christine Rodgers and Dr. Cecelia Nguyen perform to enhance the shape and volume of the buttocks, achieving a more youthful, lifted, and contoured appearance. Unlike traditional butt augmentation techniques that use implants, a BBL utilizes the patient’s own fat, harvested from other areas of the body through liposuction.
During the procedure, excess fat is removed from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or back using advanced liposuction techniques. The harvested fat is then strategically transferred into different areas of the buttocks to create a fuller, rounder shape.
One of the key advantages of a BBL is that it not only enhances the size and shape of the buttocks but also improves the overall body contour by slimming and sculpting the donor areas. Additionally, since the procedure uses the patient’s own fat, the risk of rejection or complications is lower compared to synthetic implants.
Recovery from a Brazilian butt lift typically involves avoiding sitting or lying directly on the buttocks for a few weeks to allow the newly transferred fat to settle and integrate into the surrounding tissues. Patients can expect some swelling and bruising in both the donor and recipient areas, which gradually resolves over time.
With proper post-operative care and adherence to your surgeon’s instructions, a Brazilian butt lift can provide long-lasting results, giving you a shapelier and more proportionate figure that enhances your overall silhouette and boosts your confidence.
As with all surgeries, there are certain risks involved. During your initial consultation, Dr. Rodgers and Dr. Nguyen will discuss your procedure in detail, outlining the realistic potential results and any possible risks to ensure you make an informed decision.
