How is the Brazilian Butt Lift Performed?
Women seeking curvaceous buttocks often find that even rigorous exercise fails to provide the desired results. Cosmetic surgery offers the solution. The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is an ideal option for those who don’t want implants and have excess fat for transfer to the buttocks. Whether it’s a flat or sagging derriere, this natural fat transfer procedure can provide attractive outcomes.
This transformative process involves extracting surplus fat from areas like the arms, mid-back, flanks, love handles, outer and inner thighs, and abdomen through liposuction. The refined donor fat cells are then meticulously injected into the buttocks to achieve the desired projection and curvature. Often several hundred CCs or more per buttock has to be injected to provide the desired outcome.
When performed by an experienced NYC plastic surgeon, you can expect a shapelier, firmer, and aesthetically pleasing derriere that complements your physique. Notably, using your own fat for enhancement provides a natural-looking result.
Why Weight Loss after BBL Matters
Weight gain or loss may affect the BBL results. However, if the weight loss is not excessive and occurs gradually, the effect will not be that significant. Typically, plastic surgeons advise their patients who lack sufficient donor fat for the BBL to gain about 15 – 20 pounds, which they can lose after the surgery. Patients who are worried about exercising after the procedure are encouraged to do so without fear.
Maintaining a stable weight post-procedure is necessary for results to last. Considerable changes in weight would alter butt contour. Experts in Brazilian butt augmentation say that this is because of the way fat behaves after BBL. Once the injected fat has achieved blood supply and becomes viable or alive after a year, the results would last for many years. The transferred fat would act just like other fat cells in the body. If you happen to lose weight, the effects would be spread throughout your body, affecting the transferred fat too and causing the cells there to shrink. As the buttocks lose volume due weight loss, it would affect BBL outcomes.
On the other hand, weight gain will make all the fat cells in the body expand, including the transferred fat cells. This happens as the calories turn into fat that is stored in the cells. This clearly means you can expect that your derriere to gain volume with weight gain. So if you have experienced weight loss after BBL and want to restore the results, you need to gain weight carefully. This can help maintain the attractive derriere you achieved through the procedure.
Tips To Maintain BBL Results
Women undergoing this cosmetic procedure must make sure to follow a healthy lifestyle to maintain the procedure results effectively. A healthy diet and regular exercising will make you look and feel better.
Proper aftercare is as important as the surgery itself. Following these tips can help with recovery and results:
- Sitting should be avoided for the first few weeks because prolonged sitting will damage the newly injected fat cells as they have not yet established their own blood supply.
- To reduce soreness and stiffness, take the medications prescribed by your physician.
- Wear the compression garment your surgeon may have recommended.
- Walk and stretch your legs to reduce the risk of blood clots.
- Speed up recovery by performing buttock stretching exercises, as recommended by your surgeon.
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids.
