While popular media figures may have led the trend for dramatic butt enhancement, they did not invent the desire for larger, fuller buttocks and a curvier shape. A Brazilian butt lift helps you achieve this goal without any artificial implants, making it the all-natural way to achieve the look you have hoped for.
What is a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?
Also known as a BBL, this procedure is a form of butt enhancement that uses fat taken from another area of your body to add shape and volume. Brazilian butt lift results can be as subtle or noticeable as you prefer, with Dr. Wael Kouli specializing in understanding your goals and using his artistic eye and surgical skill to achieve them.
How is a Brazilian Butt Lift Done?
A BBL actually involves two procedures: collection of the fat that will add your new volume, then the process of sculpting and shaping your buttocks.
Fat Harvest
The first step of a BBL is collecting the necessary fat. Dr. Kouli uses liposuction to remove fat from areas such as your abdomen, waist, or hips, helping to sculpt the area and make your curves more defined.
Fat Purification and injection
This fat goes through a process of purification that separates healthy, living fat cells. This fat is strategically injected into your buttocks in a pattern that creates lift and shape. Because not all of these fat cells will survive, the area is slightly overfilled, so it will have the correct volume as your results settle.
Fat Grafting
While some will not survive, most of the injected fat cells will stay alive and continue to behave as they did in their previous location. Once they have established a blood supply, a process called grafting, they will last as long as all your other fat. An experienced surgeon knows how much fat to inject to accommodate this process.
REQUEST CONSULTATION
This is the time you get to know and become comfortable with Dr. Kouli and the staff at Esthetica of San Diego, the Center of Cosmetic Surgery. You should express your needs, desires, and expectations for your procedure. Dr. Kouli will review your medical history and discuss the best surgical technique for you. All your questions will be answered as thoroughly as possible.
As Dr. Kouli always says, “no question is a stupid one.” You will have a detailed discussion about the different techniques of surgery. Dr. Kouli will go over most risks and potential complications of surgery and will explain the pre-operative and post-operative process.
What to Expect After a Brazilian Butt Lift
Soreness and bruising are common after this procedure, but you will receive medication and aftercare instructions to help you stay more comfortable. You will need to avoid sitting or laying on your buttocks for two weeks after the procedure so the fat has time to settle.
Most people can return to work and light activities after two weeks, but you will need to wait six to eight more weeks to resume a strenuous exercise routine. You will notice changes in the size of your buttocks during this time as your results evolve into their final shape.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift?
While Brazilian butt lifts are very popular, you must meet a few criteria to be considered. First, candidates must be in good health and have realistic expectations about their results. You must also have enough fat to collect for the procedure, so you may not be a candidate if you have little to no excess body fat. People with certain medical conditions should not have a BBL.
