Brazilian butt lift or BBL is one of most the demanded plastic surgery procedures in Turkey and it is very important that you have all the informations about its risks and benefits. The BBL is a refined procedure that combines standard liposuction or ultrasound liposuction with the transfer of the patient’s own fat from other parts of the body into the buttocks. Because the added fat tissue is not foreign, there is no chance of rejection, but the fat cells, transferred from an area to another of the same body, will have about 70% chances of survival.
In other words, some of the fat injected will be reabsorbed naturally by your body, so that you will be able to appreciate the final result of your buttock enlargement only after a few weeks after these processes has finished and the swelling has been reabsorbed.
Similarly, to other cosmetic procedures, The Brazilian butt lift can be combined with other surgeries like breast augmentation or liposculpture, or tummy tuck, reshaping the all body.
The buttock lift procedure is performed under general anaesthetic and takes between one and two hours.
The procedure can be targeted at a single area on the buttocks or thighs, or can be extended to cover the whole area. In some cases, the buttock lift may be combined with liposuction to remove excess fat over a wider area and free up the skin that needs to be lifted.
Typically, your surgeon will remove tissue at the junction of lower back and buttock. This allows for an elevation of the tissue and a reshaping of the buttocks, hips and the lower back. Buttock cosmetic surgery can also be performed in combination with liposuction of the hips. The removed fat is then transferred into the buttock area. This is ideal for patients with flatter buttocks and can restore their youthful curves.
There are four different buttock lift techniques:
The benefits of a Buttock lift are both cosmetic and psychological, and include:
Two key considerations are symmetry and scarring.
Surgical experience and careful planning are required to produce a symmetrical result. It is common to see patients who have had unequal amounts of skin and fat removed with unnaturally shaped buttocks and thighs, of unequal size. There are even occasions where patients have required to have skin put back, using skin grafts. This is a key consideration at the outset
A skilled surgeon can minimise scarring and place them expertly in locations where they are not visible to the eye. Scars take some months to settle in, but your surgeon will try and confine the scarring to the buttock fold or groin areas
Like any other cosmetic procedure, it’s essential to be in good health, And you might be asked from your surgeon to suspend some medications which can increase risk of bleeding or clotting. You will need to have some areas of excess fat, that can be harvested and injected into the buttocks. Prior to surgery and after surgery, in order to preserve your own fat deposit, it’s advisable not to be on any diet, and also intensive exercise meant to burn your fat, must be avoided during this time.
Every cosmetic procedure has risks related to surgery and anaesthesia, The Brazilian buttock lift is not much more dangerous than other procedures, when performed by a plastic surgeon trained in liposuction and fat transfer. The main cause of fat embolism and nerve damage after BBL are related to the injection of fat into the gluteus muscle. When the fat is injected subcutaneously, the BBL is quite a safe procedure. Dr Aktas is highly experienced in fat transfer, liposculpture, Vaser liposuction and Microware (power assisted) liposuction in Turkey.
The procedure can be planned as a day case, or you might require a 1-night stay. Return to work is generally after 2 weeks, you will need to wear a compressive garment for 4 weeks and, very importantly, you will need, as much as possible to avoid sitting on your buttock for about 3 weeks.
BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT FAQ
Both procedures are buttocks enhancing surgical techniques, but include different methods to achieve results. A Brazilian butt lift uses fat from another of your body. However, if you do not have sufficient fat to perform fat grafting, you can benefit from butt implants. Dr. Resat offers a variety of shapes and sizes of butt implants to help you attain optimal results.
Most patients can return to work and normal activity within one to two weeks after the procedure. Your recovery will depend on how diligently you follow your post-surgical instructions and how fast you heal. The key to recovery is resting and not doing too much activity too soon.
You can begin walking and light activity two to three weeks after the procedure. In most cases, Dr. Resat will release you to full physical activity six to eight weeks after the procedure, as long as you are responding well to surgery and recovering nicely. Although you may feel better sooner than you are released, it is imperative to give the fat transfer adequate time to stabilize in order to achieve desired results.
You will be directed to use an inflatable pillow when sitting for at least eight weeks in order to ease discomfort and help you achieve a smooth recovery. Sitting directly on your buttocks too soon will cause a disruption in the fat transfer.
Although you will see immediate results, as the swelling and bruising subsides over the next few weeks, you will begin to notice greater results. Over the course of the next few months, the fat will continue to stabilize. Most patients are able to enjoy final results in about four to six months.
