Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) at WIH Hospital – Achieve Natural, Fuller Buttocks with Fat Transfer
At WIH Hospital, our Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure enhances the shape and volume of the buttocks using natural fat from the patient’s own body. This technique, known as autologous fat transfer, provides a safe and effective way to achieve a fuller, contoured look without implants, making it an ideal option for those who prefer natural augmentation.
Who is a Good Candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Ideal candidates for a BBL at WIH Hospital are individuals who:
Desire a fuller, lifted buttock shape.
Have sufficient fat in donor areas (such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks) for liposuction and transfer.
Prefer a natural enhancement using their own body fat.
Are in good health, maintain a stable weight, and have realistic expectations.
If the fat donor areas are sufficient, our surgeons will work to maximize the volume of fat transferred, tailored to each patient’s aesthetic desires and goals for the most natural-looking results.
Surgical Technique for Brazilian Butt Lift
Here’s an overview of the BBL technique, which involves liposuction, fat purification, and precise reinjection:
1. Liposuction for Fat Harvesting
Tumescent Liposuction: The procedure starts with tumescent liposuction, where a saline solution mixed with anesthetic and epinephrine is injected into the target areas to loosen fat, reduce bleeding, and minimize discomfort.
Fat Extraction: Through small incisions, a thin cannula is used to extract fat from selected areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, which also sculpts these areas.
2. Fat Processing and Purification
The extracted fat is purified via centrifugation or filtration to remove impurities, leaving only healthy fat cells for injection. This purified fat is then prepared in syringes for precise reinjection.
3. Precise Fat Injection into the Buttocks
Strategic Placement: Purified fat is injected into various layers of the buttocks to ensure even distribution and natural projection.
Layered Injection Technique: Fat is layered in small amounts to create a smooth, rounded contour and enhanced lift.
Symmetry and Balance: Throughout the process, our surgeons focus on symmetry and balance, achieving a proportionate and aesthetically pleasing result.
Possible Complications of a Brazilian Butt Lift
While the BBL is generally safe, certain risks include:
Fat Embolism: A rare but serious risk if fat enters the bloodstream. Our surgeons use proper techniques to minimize this risk by injecting fat in safe layers.
Infection: Infection is a risk with any surgery; proper hygiene and following aftercare instructions help reduce this.
Seroma or Hematoma: Fluid or blood buildup can occur, sometimes requiring drainage.
Fat Absorption: Some of the transferred fat may be reabsorbed by the body over time, potentially reducing the final volume.
Asymmetry or Irregularities: Despite careful fat placement, minor asymmetries or irregularities may occur.
At WIH Hospital, we prioritize patient safety, using advanced techniques to reduce these risks and providing detailed aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from a BBL includes:
First Week: Avoid sitting directly on the buttocks for two weeks, and sleep on your stomach or side. Compression garments may be used on liposuction areas.
2–6 Weeks: Swelling decreases gradually, allowing a return to light activities; high-impact activities should wait until cleared by the surgeon.
Long-Term Results: Full results are typically visible within three to six months as the fat settles and swelling dissipates.
