Posted August 25, 2021 in Brazilian Butt Lift
When it comes to the hallmarks of beauty and sex appeal, virtually nothing is as hot right now as a full, round, curvy butt. Because this trendy butt shape is notoriously difficult to achieve with diet and exercise alone, countless men and women each year turn to cosmetic surgery for help plumping up their rear ends. At Magnolia Plastic Surgery and MedSpa in New Orleans, LA, award-winning plastic surgeon Dr. Heath Charvet is proud to help patients get the celebrity silhouette they’ve always wanted with Brazilian butt lift surgery. Read on to learn more about the benefits of BBL surgery, and find out whether this exciting procedure may be right for you.
How can I make my butt fuller?
Although some people are blessed with a naturally full backside, many men and women feel self-conscious about their small, flat, or unappealing butt shape. In some cases, dietary changes and a consistent exercise routine can help to reshape your butt. However, it is exceedingly difficult – and often impossible – to achieve the curvy butt shape that is popular among celebrities and influencers through diet and exercise alone. Fortunately, cosmetic surgery offers a number of solutions for enhancing your butt, including glute implants. For patients who are interested in a more natural alternative to butt augmentation with implants, the Brazilian butt lift is a particularly exciting option.
What is a BBL?
The Brazilian butt lift, or BBL, is a widely popular procedure that aims to resculpt the butt for a fuller and shapelier figure. Rather than using synthetic implants to increase butt volume, a BBL involves harvesting unwanted fat cells from one area of the body and transferring them to the buttocks.
How long does BBL last?
The results of a Brazilian butt lift can be seen almost immediately, though it often takes several weeks or months for postoperative swelling to fully resolve, at which time the final outcome will take shape. Patients who practice proper BBL aftercare and maintain a stable weight can enjoy their BBL results for many years, if not decades. However, it is important for patients to understand that BBL does not stop the aging process. Over time, the skin may lose some of its natural elasticity, which can lead to subtle changes in the appearance of the buttocks. Additionally, weight fluctuations can significantly compromise or even reverse the results of a BBL.
Do I qualify for BBL surgery?
Patients considering BBL surgery in the NOLA area should be:
- In good overall health
- At a stable, healthy weight
- Nonsmokers
- Desire a fuller, rounder butt shape
- Have enough extra fat available for transfer
- Committed to maintaining a stable weight after BBL
It is also important for patients considering BBL surgery to keep in mind that the procedure is not designed to tighten the skin. Patients whose primary concern is a sagging butt or loose skin may be better suited to a traditional butt lift, which involves removing excess skin and tightening the butt. During your initial consultation, Dr. Charvet will thoroughly discuss your concerns and goals, examine your problem areas, and determine whether BBL is right for you.
