Surgical Procedures of Brazilian Butt Lift
Here’s an overview of the BBL technique, which involves liposuction, fat purification, and precise reinjection:
1. Liposuction for Fat Harvesting
Unlike standard liposuction, our surgeons at WIH Hospital use advanced liposuction methods specifically designed for fat harvesting and transfer, ensuring that the extracted fat remains as viable as possible. Using advanced liposuction devices, including power-assisted and micro-cannula techniques, we carefully extract fat cells from areas with sufficient deposits, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. This approach not only preserves fat cell integrity but also allows for smoother, more controlled extraction, minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues.
During the procedure, general anesthesia is administered for maximum comfort, and small, strategically placed incisions are made in donor areas. Our experienced surgeons then employ a gentle suction process to extract the fat, which also has the benefit of contouring the donor areas for a balanced overall appearance. Unlike more aggressive liposuction techniques, our method focuses on preserving the quality and viability of the fat cells for a more predictable transfer.
2. Fat Processing and Purification
WIH Hospital’s fat purification process is designed to increase fat cell survival rates, an essential factor in achieving long-lasting BBL results. After liposuction, the extracted fat undergoes a sophisticated filtration and centrifugation process to remove excess fluids, blood, and damaged cells. This method ensures that only the healthiest, highest-quality fat cells are used for injection, leading to improved retention rates and more durable results. By refining and isolating the fat cells, we can create a smoother, more even contour in the buttocks with minimal risk of lumps or irregularities.
Additionally, our purification process helps eliminate impurities that can lead to post-surgical complications, offering our patients a safer experience with superior, more natural results.
3. Precise Fat Injection into the Buttocks
The fat transfer process at WIH Hospital is meticulously executed to ensure a balanced, natural appearance. Our surgeons use a specialized cannula and technique to inject fat only into the subcutaneous layer of the buttocks, which significantly reduces the risk of fat embolism, a rare but serious complication. Each layer of fat is injected with precision to create a smooth, natural-looking contour, avoiding deep tissue layers to enhance safety and maximize the volume that is retained.
Throughout the fat injection phase, our surgeons carefully sculpt and shape the buttocks to achieve a well-defined, symmetrical appearance. This phase requires both technical skill and an artistic approach, as our surgeons take into account the patient’s natural body proportions, desired shape, and overall aesthetic goals. By layering the fat strategically and adjusting the distribution to suit each patient’s body, we can achieve results that complement the natural curves of the body without the need for synthetic implants.
