BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT (BBL) /
BUTT CORRECTION
The ideal image of the buttocks has undergone a major change worldwide in recent years. In Germany, too, more and more people want a buttock lift and contouring, which can be achieved with a so-called Brazilian butt lift. In this way, a firm bottom can be achieved in leggings or on the beach, even without excessive muscle training.
The Brazilian butt lift describes a combination of liposuction and re-injection, with which a redistribution of fat deposits in the buttocks is carried out (lipostructuring).
For this purpose, fat deposits are first liposuctioned in order to be able to create a contoured and harmonious transition from the buttocks to the thighs and the trunk. This is followed by the actual bottom lifting. For this purpose, the viable fat cells are transplanted into the upper parts of the buttocks, thus increasing the volume in this area.
The Brazilian butt lift has recently been the subject of controversy in the media. The fact is that this intervention is a very difficult surgical method, its successful application requires a high degree of anatomical and plastic-surgical knowledge as well as experience. It is therefore strongly recommended that a procedure such as the Brazilian Butt Lift should only be performed by Plastic Surgeons who, like us at JJPS, have the appropriate professional qualifications and experience in this field.
Preparation
Precise planning of the areas to be liposuctioned and the areas to be enlarged in the buttock regions is important. These are precisely marked in the standing position. Before the Brazilian butt lift, you must not take any blood-thinning medication for at least 14 days before the procedure. With active smoking, the effect of the operation is significantly reduced. It is therefore important to give up smoking as much as possible so that as much of the transplanted fett cells as possible remain vital. There are also some contraindications that we will discuss with you in detail during the preliminary talk.
Technique
The procedure itself is performed by us on an outpatient basis in about 2-3 hours. This is done under general anesthesia and is painless. The exact surgical plan is drawn in beforehand. The excess fatty tissue is then gently suctioned off. We use the water-jet-associated WAL method for this, which aspirates particularly gently and in a second step prepares the fat intraoperatively so that the pure fat cells are available for the transplantation.
The fat is then injected into the subcutaneous fatty tissue with a blunt cannula via small puncture incisions. Depending on the desired volume and depending on the amount of fat in the body, between 400 and 800 ml of fat is introduced on each side of the buttocks. We transplant about 30 percent more than the desired volume effect, since only about 70 percent of the transplanted fat heals. The rest is broken down by the body.
In fat grafting, the muscle is completely spared. In this way we can make the procedure as safe as possible and minimize any risks.
At the end of the surgery, special compression pants are put on, sparing the transplanted area. This is important in order not to endanger the vitality of the fat cells.
Costs & Financing
The costs for the Brazilian Butt Lift vary depending on the effort involved and are made up of the surgical procedure, the material, the anesthesia and the final examinations. The costs start at around 5.800 Euros, depending on the duration of the operation and combinations with other procedures.
Risks
The procedure is now a routine operation within plastic surgery.
Nevertheless, there can be risks with regard to possible secondary bleeding, wound healing disorders or unsightly dents. The latter may require correction later.
If the technique used is incorrect and injection of fat into the muscle, this procedure can have very dangerous effects, which is why we at JJPS fundamentally reject injections into the muscle.
As said:
For smokers there is a poor healing result of the fat and other problems can arise, so we strongly recommend to refrain from smoking for at least four to six weeks before and after the operation!
Aftercare
The procedure is performed on an outpatient or inpatient basis in our partner clinic with an overnight stay. After the surgery, long periods of sitting must be avoided for a period of 3 weeks so that the transplanted fat is not subjected to too much pressure. Avoid sleeping on your back. Sport and heavy loads must be avoided for six to eight weeks. The result of the increase in volume can be seen after approx. 4-6 weeks, the bottom contour itself can only be finally assessed after approx. 3 months due to the swelling that is still present. During this time, special compression pants will be worn, which we will prescribe to you.
The first check is made after 2-3 days. Further follow-up checks follow. Since we work with self-dissolving sutures, there is no need to pull threads.
Sauna sessions or bathing should be avoided for two to three months. The scar is fine and with the right care, it fades quickly and is later almost invisible.
The procedure can also be easily combined with other tightening operations.
