Buttock Enhancement

Liposuction

Fat Removal: The process begins with liposuction, where fat is harvested from areas of the body with excess fat, such as the abdomen, thighs, flanks, or back. Small incisions are made in these areas, and a thin tube (cannula) is used to suction out the fat.

Purification: The extracted fat is then purified and processed to prepare it for reinjection.

Fat Injection

Preparation: The purified fat is carefully prepared for injection into the buttocks.

Injection: The fat is strategically injected into different areas of the buttocks to enhance their volume and shape. The surgeon uses a technique called fat grafting, where the fat is injected in layers and specific patterns to ensure a natural-looking result.

Enhanced Contour: The BBL provides a fuller, more rounded buttock shape, improving overall body proportions.

Dual Benefit: The procedure not only enhances the buttocks but also contours the areas where fat is removed, such as the abdomen or thighs.

Natural Results: Because the procedure uses the patient’s own fat, it often results in a more natural appearance compared to implants.

Initial Recovery: Patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in both the liposuction and buttock areas. Pain medication and proper rest are crucial for recovery.

Compression Garment: Wearing a compression garment on the areas where liposuction was performed helps reduce swelling and support healing.

Buttock Care: It’s important to avoid sitting directly on the buttocks for several weeks to ensure the fat grafts settle properly. Patients are often advised to use a special pillow or cushion when sitting.

Activity: Light activities can typically be resumed within a few weeks, but strenuous exercises and activities should be avoided until cleared by the surgeon.

Appearance: The final results become more apparent after the swelling subsides, usually within a few months. The buttocks will have a fuller, more contoured appearance, and the areas where fat was removed will appear slimmer.

Longevity: The results of a BBL can be long-lasting, but it’s important to maintain a stable weight. Significant weight changes can affect the outcome.

Complications: As with any surgery, there are risks involved, including infection, fat embolism (fat entering the bloodstream and causing a blockage), and complications from anesthesia. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon can help minimize these risks.

Fat Resorption: Some of the injected fat may be absorbed by the body, which can affect the final results. Surgeons often inject more fat than needed to account for this resorption.

Consultation: A thorough consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is essential. They will assess your health, discuss your goals, and recommend the best approach for achieving the desired results.
