Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
Buttock augmentation surgery is a body contouring procedure designed to reshape sagging buttocks or add volume to a flat behind. Buttock augmentation can also be combined with a buttock lift, commonly known as the Brazilian butt lift (BBL).
The procedure:
- The dislodged fat is suctioned out of the body using a surgical vacuum or syringe attached to the cannula. In general, your surgeon may liposuction up to three times the amount of fat that will actually be injected into the buttocks.
- The dislodged fat suctioned out of your body is then injected into the butt.
- Your surgeon will use this cannula to add the fat to the buttocks through small injections all over your behind.
The results of buttock augmentation are immediately visible. However, you will not see your final results until a year after the surgery, as it takes a while for the fat to “take”. This procedure offers natural-looking and feeling results, but the projection of the buttocks may decrease over time.
As you gain or lose weight your results may change as the transferred fat can grow or shrink just as any other fat in your body.
