Buttock augmentation surgery is one of the aesthetic surgical procedures and aims to make the butt appear fuller and shaped. This operation is often called Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). BBL operation involves shaping the butt by removing fat from other parts of the body.
The following steps are usually followed in the BBL operation
- Anesthesia
- Fat collection
- Fat injection
- Recovery and results
Anesthesia
General anesthesia is generally preferred, so you will be in a dormant state during the surgery.
Fat collection
Fat is taken from other parts of the body (usually the abdomen, waist, thighs). This process is called liposuction and a special vacuum is used to remove the fat cells.
Fat injection
The fat taken is cleaned and filtered by a special process. Then, it is injected into the butt area with a thin cannula. This process is performed to increase the shape and volume of the butt.
Recovery and results
It is important to rest and recover for a while in the postoperative period. Usually, you may need to lie face down for several weeks. The healing process differs from person to person, but it usually takes several months to fully recover. After the operation, the butt will have a fuller and shaped appearance.
BBL operation is popular among people who want to improve the butt area aesthetically. But like any surgery, it has potential risks and complications. Therefore, if you are considering this type of operation, it is important to consult a plastic surgeon. Your surgeon will assess your condition, explain the risks and provide you with an appropriate treatment plan.
