A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a cosmetic surgery procedure that involves transferring fat from other parts of the body, such as the belly, hips, lower back, or thighs, to the buttocks. The goal of the procedure is to increase the volume of the buttocks, giving the patient a more hourglass-shaped figure. It is not an actual "lift" because it doesnt try to raise the buttocks. Instead, it increases volume. The procedure involves two steps: liposuction to remove fat from other areas of the body, and then injecting the fat into the buttock area. The results of a BBL can last for years and even more than a decade, and maintaining your weight can help the results last. The procedure can be risky and even fatal, but it is considered safer than other procedures to change how your buttocks look. The cost of a BBL can vary widely for a variety of reasons, including where you live. The recovery period consists of mild to moderate pain with some bruising and swelling, and patients should expect to wear a compression garment. The key to a successful BBL recovery is to avoid sitting for too long. Because a BBL carries more risk than most other plastic surgery procedures, appropriate patient selection is extremely important, and surgeons should be stricter with qualifying criteria.
