If you are not satisfied with your appearance from behind, the Brazilian butt lift is a powerful way for patients in Mansfield to take control of their body and improve their contours. This popular body sculpting procedure blends artistry with surgical precision to enhance the gluteal area. Our double-board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Matthew H. Steele, can deliver natural-looking results that may have a huge impact on your self-confidence.
A Brazilian butt lift, commonly known as a BBL, is designed to enhance the shape and volume of the buttocks. Unlike traditional buttock implants, a BBL utilizes the body’s own fat. This procedure begins by harvesting fat via liposuction from areas of excess fat, such as the abdomen, hips, or thighs. The fat is then washed with saline, concentrated, and strategically reinjected into the gluteal fat to create fuller, more sculpted curves.
Dr. Steele has years of expertise in the field of buttock enhancement using the Brazilian butt lift technique, and can speak with Mansfield patients to tailor a surgical plan around their unique goals and desires.
Getting a Brazilian butt lift has many benefits. What sets this procedure apart from other gluteal enhancement procedures is that it not only enhances the buttock, it also contours other areas of the body by harvesting fat. You can add volume and fullness to a flatter backside while also slimming other areas of the body, such as the waist, hips, and abdomen. This surgery uses the body’s own fat tissue instead of implants so there is a lower risk of complications, making it a popular choice for those seeking natural-looking solutions.
With a BBL, Dr. Steele can help you achieve a firmer, more youthful figure and improve your self confidence.
A Brazilian butt lift procedure is safe, performed under general anesthesia, and well tolerated by most people. The length of your procedure will depend on your individual needs and the amount of fat harvested, but most BBL surgeries take about 3 to 5 hours.
Dr. Steele will begin by using liposuction to harvest fat from the abdomen, waist, hips, or thighs. This fat is then carefully washed with saline to remove ruptured fat cells, oil, and other impurities. Once purified, he then reinjects it into the buttocks, and sutures the incisions closed. Some patients will require drain tubes to evacuate fluid, and you will be provided with compression garments to decrease swelling and promote skin contraction.
While you will notice an immediate difference in the shape of your buttocks after surgery, your final results will be revealed once all your swelling has subsided after 3-4 months. Dr. Steele recommends using a special recovery pillow when sitting or sleeping to avoid direct pressure on the buttocks. While everyone’s recovery is different, most people can return to regular daily activities in a few days with some lifting restrictions in place for about 6 weeks.
