What is a Brazilian butt lift (BBL)?
Brazilian Butt Lift, BBL for short, is a surgical procedure that aims to enhance the shape and size of your bum. The procedure is also known as augmentation with fat transfer. During the procedure, your own fat from other parts of your body is extracted and injected into your buttocks to make them bigger and give them a rounder, more defined shape.
Benefits of Brazilian butt lift surgery
- Brazilian butt-lift surgery is a good alternative to implants
- The body accepts its fat more easily than it would accept implants
- The surgery gives natural-looking results
- The procedure is customizable, and you can choose exactly which areas of your bum you want to modify
How does fat transfer buttock augmentation work?
BBL is a two-stage surgical procedure. During the first step, your surgeon will extract fat from areas with excessive fat deposits, like the abdomen or thighs, through liposuction. After the extraction, during the second stage, the fat is purified and strategically injected into the areas of your butt that you want to enhance and modify.
