In recent years, buttock surgery has been gaining popularity! Many women are turning to this solution to lift, reshape, or increase the volume of their buttocks. To achieve this, there are two types of surgical procedures. The first, the best known, is the BBL, or Brazilian butt lift. The second is the insertion of buttock implants. We help you understand more clearly so you can choose between BBL and buttock implants.
Lipofilling
Fat injection
During a Brazilian butt lift, the surgeon will harvest fat from the back, stomach, or thighs and transfer it to the glutes. This flattens the stomach and refines the waist. The result is firmer buttocks and a more defined silhouette, since fat will have been harvested from the waist. This is a less invasive technique that is popular with patients who want to increase the volume of their buttocks. The scars are virtually invisible and the recovery time is shorter.
How is the surgery performed?
Your surgeon will carefully harvest fat from strategic locations using liposuction. This fat will then be processed and reinjected into the buttocks. Your surgeon will perform several injections to evenly distribute the fat and shape the buttocks.
Is BBL for you?
For surgery to be successful, you must have enough fat to harvest. Typically, the patient must be at least twenty pounds overweight. If you are not overweight, the results will be more subtle, or even barely visible, and you may unfortunately be disappointed. This is why, in these cases, it is recommended to opt for implants.
How is the recovery going?
After a Brazilian butt lift, you may experience some swelling in your buttocks and in the areas where fat was harvested. You will also be asked to wear a compression garment for approximately two weeks. You will need to wait three months before you can fully appreciate the final results of your surgery. This is the time it takes for the fat to develop a new blood supply.
Implant placement
When the patient does not have enough excess fat, she will be offered the option of implants or buttock prostheses to achieve the desired volume. The surgeon will choose the shape of the implant (round or anatomical) according to the shape of your buttocks and your expectations. It will also be possible to combine implant placement with lipofilling to, for example, remove saddlebags, refine the waistline or fill the lateral aspect of the buttocks if necessary. To insert the implant, the surgeon will make an incision in the intergluteal fold. The scar will be camouflaged by the new volume of the buttocks. The implant will be lodged under the muscle for a more natural result.
What to expect after surgery
The procedure is more invasive than a simple lipofilling procedure. Therefore, the pain will also be greater. The final results can be assessed after 3 months. This is the time it will take for your body to fully heal. It is recommended to monitor the implant every 5 years and have it replaced after 10 to 20 years.
