In recent years, the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) has surged in popularity, becoming one of the most sought-after cosmetic procedures worldwide. With its ability to sculpt and enhance the buttocks, the BBL offers individuals the opportunity to achieve their desired curves and silhouettes. At MiKO Plastic Surgery, we understand the importance of feeling confident in your body, which is why we're here to provide you with a comprehensive guide to the Brazilian Butt Lift.

What is a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?

The Brazilian Butt Lift, commonly referred to as BBL, is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the shape and size of the buttocks and hips using the patient's fat. Unlike traditional butt augmentation methods that use implants, the BBL utilizes liposuction to remove excess fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, which is then purified and strategically injected into the buttocks to achieve a fuller, more rounded appearance.

Benefits of Brazilian Butt Lift:

• Natural Results: Since the BBL uses the patient's fat, the results look and feel natural, avoiding the risk of implant complications or unnatural-looking and feeling buttocks.
• Dual Benefit: Not only does the BBL enhance the buttocks, but it also contours other areas of the body through liposuction, providing a more sculpted overall appearance.
• Long-lasting Results: The fat cells transferred during the BBL procedure can establish blood supply in the buttocks, leading to long-term augmentation and sustainable results.
• Customization: Each BBL procedure is tailored to the individual's unique body shape and aesthetic goals, allowing for personalized results that complement their natural curves.

The BBL Procedure:

• Consultation: The journey begins with a consultation with our experienced plastic surgeon Dr. Michael K. Obeng, who will assess your candidacy for the procedure and discuss your desired outcome.
• Preparation: Before the procedure, you'll receive personalized instructions to prepare for surgery, including guidelines on medications, diet, and lifestyle modifications.
• Liposuction: During the BBL procedure, liposuction is performed to harvest fat from donor areas, such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips, using advanced techniques to ensure optimal fat viability.
• Fat Purification: The harvested fat is then processed to purify and isolate healthy fat cells for injection into the buttocks, maximizing the survival rate of transferred fat.
• Fat Injection: Using meticulous precision, the purified fat is strategically injected into the buttocks to enhance volume, shape, and symmetry, sculpting the desired contours.
• Recovery: Following the procedure, you'll be given post-operative instructions to promote healing and optimize results, including wearing compression garments and avoiding prolonged sitting or pressure on the buttocks.
• Results: While initial swelling is expected, you'll gradually see the transformation of your buttocks over the following weeks and months as swelling subsides and the final results emerge.
