A BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) combined with fat transfer is a cosmetic surgery procedure that enhances the shape and size of the buttocks using the patient’s own fat. This procedure has become popular for those looking to achieve a fuller, more contoured backside without the use of implants.

1. Procedure Overview:

• Liposuction: Fat is first harvested from other areas of the body, such as the abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs, or back, using liposuction. This step serves the dual purpose of slimming the donor area and collecting fat for transfer.
• Fat Processing: The harvested fat is purified and processed to remove impurities and fluids, ensuring only healthy fat cells are used for the transfer.
• Fat Injection: The purified fat is strategically injected into specific areas of the buttocks to enhance volume, improve shape, and create a lifted appearance. The surgeon carefully sculpts the buttocks to achieve a natural look.

2. Duration and Recovery:

• Duration: The surgery typically takes about 2-4 hours, depending on the extent of fat extraction and transfer.
• Recovery: Initial recovery involves avoiding sitting or lying directly on the buttocks for about 2 weeks to allow the transferred fat to settle properly. Full recovery can take several weeks to months, with final results visible after swelling subsides.

3. Risks and Considerations:

• Risks: Potential complications include infection, fat embolism, asymmetry, or fat absorption (where some of the transferred fat is reabsorbed by the body).
• Longevity: Not all transferred fat survives; generally, about 60-80% of the fat remains permanently. Proper aftercare, such as avoiding pressure on the buttocks, is crucial for optimal results.

4. Benefits:

• Natural Results: Since the fat used is from the patient’s own body, the results tend to look and feel more natural than synthetic implants.
• Body Contouring: The procedure not only enhances the buttocks but also slims the donor areas, creating an overall more sculpted silhouette.

BBL with fat transfer is sought after by those looking to enhance their figure in a natural and proportional way, emphasizing curves without artificial implants.

Always look for a board certified surgeon to perform this surgery in a proper surgical environment.
