One of the most popular cosmetic surgical procedures, the Brazilian butt lift (BBL) involves using a woman’s own fat to enhance the size and shape of her posterior. However, even as more and more women are opting to have a Brazilian Butt Lift in NYC, one question all patients ask their surgeon is whether the treatment is safe.
Well, the answer to this question depends upon certain factors. Buttock augmentation with autologous fat grafting or the gluteal lift (currently marketed as the “Brazilian butt lift” or BBL), is one of the most rapidly evolving operations in aesthetic surgery. This “dual-benefit” body contouring procedure involves fat harvesting – from unwanted areas to enhance contouring using liposuction – and injecting purified harvested fat into the gluteal region. Traditional BBL is performed under general anesthesia and has been associated with grave risks. The reason is that fat injected into and below the muscle either intentionally or unintentionally can lead to devastating consequences. Fortunately, plastic surgeons of bodySCULPT in NYC introduced the Brazilian butt lift under local anesthesia (BBLULA). Which proven extremely successful as a safer alternative to traditional BBL.
BBLULA provides all the benefits of traditional BBL without the risks or complications associated with general anesthesia. It is a safe and effective option for those seeking a moderate buttock enhancement with one or two areas of liposuction. Compared to the traditional procedure, BBLULA provides benefits such as little or no discomfort, minimal downtime and a significantly shorter recovery time.
Brazilian butt lift under local anesthesia (BBLULA) is a safer alternative to the traditional fat transfer buttock augmentation procedure that uses general anesthesia. BBLULA is a relatively short procedure that allows patients to remain awake throughout the procedure, heal faster, and get back quickly to their normal routine.
Though BBL performed under local anesthesia is safe, it might not be a right solution for everyone, especially those with lung or heart conditions. To be an ideal candidate for BBL, you should be physically healthy and have a stable weight. Importantly, to meet your goal of improving the roundness or general shape of your buttocks, you must have enough fat and an appropriate body type to harvest enough fat. It’s also important that you have realistic expectations about the results.
If you are considering a Brazilian Butt Lift Under Local Anesthesia, schedule a consultation in an AAAASF-accredited plastic surgery practice that provide the services of plastic surgeons who are skilled in this technique. Having your Brazilian butt augmentation performed by a plastic surgeon with education, expertise and experience in liposuction and fat grafting is important for your safety and for optimal results.
