Brazilian butt lift

Benefits of a BBL Surgery

• Reshape the curves of your buttock area for a more full and round look
• Eliminate stubborn fat pockets on the midsection of the body
• Achieve the hourglass figure so any cloth looks fit and aesthetically pleasing
• Improve the curves and proportions of the whole body by balancing the fat distribution

Why having a Brazilian butt lift?

The shape and size of the buttock may be determined by genetics, diet and exercise. For example, a person with wide hips might have wider buttocks as well. The fat stored in the lower body has an impact on how it looks too- some people store more weight around their midsection so they don’t see much definition in areas like their waistline while the buttock area doesn’t store enough for an appealing look. A healthy lifestyle is important for everyone, but it is not enough to change the structural shape of the body, as the perfect buttocks are not just about exercise and diet, it’s also a matter of genetics. A Brazilian Butt Lift can help achieve that desired shape and dangerous curves!

Am I a good candidate for a Brazilian butt lift?

One of the most common reasons to have a Brazilian Butt Lift is for better shape and size. However, not everyone can be fitted with one due to age restrictions or medical conditions. You must know that your body will respond well before going through this procedure, to make sure everything goes smoothly.

In general, you are likely a good candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift if you agree with the following:

• You want a fuller look in your buttock area
• You prefer more “natural” results without the use of implants
• You don’t have sagging skin and it looks like a good skin tone in the hips and buttocks
• You have some fat deposits in other areas to harvest for injection into the buttocks
• You have the conditions and the support system to avoid sitting for several weeks after surgery.

What is involved in Brazilian butt lift surgery?

A Brazilian butt lift involves three basic steps:

• Fat is removed from the hips, lower back, thighs, abdomen, and/or other areas with liposuction
• The extracted fat is purified and prepared for transfer
• The cosmetic surgeon injects fat into specific points on the buttocks to increase volume and improve the shape

Surgery is often performed as an outpatient procedure, with general anesthesia or intravenous sedation and local anesthesia. It’s common for a portion of the injected fat not to “take” in its new location. For this reason, an experienced cosmetic surgeon may initially inject slightly more fat than needed so that your final results most closely achieve your goals.

Recovering after your Brazilian butt lift

Having an operation on the buttocks requires some special modifications during recovery. While pain is typically minimal and easily controlled through pain medication, you will not be allowed to sit or lie directly on your buttocks for about four to six weeks after a Brazilian butt lift.

During this time, you will need to sleep on your stomach or side, and either lie this way or stand for all activity except using the toilet. When you are ready, your surgeon will allow you to sit in a modified position, using a “donut” seat or placing a pillow under your thighs to avoid pressure on the buttocks. Normal sitting activity is typically allowed after eight weeks.

If you follow your cosmetic surgeon’s instructions, you should be able to resume light daily activities within one week after surgery and return to work within 10 to 14 days.

Liposuction

iposuction surgery removes excess deposits of fat to sculpt an improved shape to a patient’s body. While liposuction is best known as a fat removal procedure, it is also one of the best procedures to help a patient refine his or her shape. In fact, cosmetic surgeons often use liposuction to refine the results of other procedures, as no other technique allows for such detailed improvements in body contour.

Lipo 360

Lipo 360 is a revolutionary liposuction procedure that targets all areas of your midsection, including the abdominals, obliques, and lower back. The resulting goal is to have a slimmer waistline with reduced volume in your abdomen as well as other parts of the body such as hips or thighs. The treatment can target not only fat pockets on one side like traditional procedures but also those pesky bulges from multiple angles – even ones you didn’t know existed!

High Definition Lipo

Is the creation of little incisions where Dr. JC Alvarez, the only surgeon that performs this procedure in our center, puts in some fluids and removes the excess fat in a more artistic way of doing it. For High Definition Lipo, the doctor follows the “God´s lines” to improve the abdomen, creating a 3-dimensional shape. With this process, you can achieve more definition through your muscles and a better silhouette.

Why have liposuction?

Liposuction is best for reducing localized fat deposits, and the most satisfied patients are typically happy with their new shape. The ideal liposuction patient has localized fat deposits & good skin tone.

Does it help with saggy or loosen skin?

Since liposuction is designed specifically to target fatty tissue, it will not significantly improve the appearance of loose skin. Other body contouring procedures, such as a tummy tuck or body lift, could be better options for you.

If you want to lose a significant amount of weight, you may know that liposuction can improve your shape, which can help you look thinner and more fit, but it’s not a weight-loss method. While some overweight patients can benefit from the reshaping effects, the most satisfied patients tend to be happy with their weight prior to surgery.

Patients with sagging skin or muscle laxity may get better results from a tummy tuck.

Is liposuction right for me?

Both men and women undergo liposuction every year to achieve a variety of different goals. Some patients want to look better in a swimsuit, while others want to find jeans that fit more comfortably. For men, liposuction can often successfully treat gynecomastia. Cosmetic surgeons will often use liposuction to enhance the results of other procedures.

If one or more of the following apply to you, liposuction is an option to consider:

• I have excess fat deposits on my hips, belly, thighs, neck, or chest that won’t respond to diet or exercise. Liposuction is excellent for reducing fatty bulges and sculpting a beautifully natural contour to the body.
• I feel like certain areas are out of proportion with the rest of my figure. Reducing excess fat on one area of the body can bring it into better balance with your natural features.
• I have good skin elasticity – sagging skin is not a problem for me. For optimal results, the skin should have a good enough tone to contract to the body’s new contours.

How does liposuction work?

Liposuction is an outpatient procedure and can be safely performed using local anesthesia, intravenous sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on the nature of the procedure. Your cosmetic surgeon will recommend the anesthesia method that is most appropriate for your needs.

The procedure starts with one or more small incisions near the treatment area. A cannula, or thin tube, is inserted through these incisions to lose excess fat beneath the skin. Then, the fat is suctioned out. The entire procedure can take under an hour or up to 3 hours or longer, depending on the number of areas treated.

How is life after liposuction?

Liposuction has become a popular way to sculpt the body’s shape, and it can be done in a relatively quick time. With today’s advanced liposuction techniques designed to minimize swelling, trauma, and discomfort when performed by qualified surgeons, recovery from this procedure is remarkably quick for many patients who return to work just days after their procedures depending on the physical requirements of their jobs as well as how much fat was removed during surgery. The degree of pain patients experience postoperatively varies among people but most find over-the-counter medication more than enough at managing any soreness which may occur afterward.

The cosmetic surgeons always recommend that patients wear a compression garment for several weeks following surgery. This will help minimize swelling and encourage optimal skin contraction, which is crucial in minimizing scarring after the procedure and helping the healing process. With proper care, scars should fade significantly over the months of healing; many people’s scars are barely visible within 1-year post-procedure.

It is important to maintain a stable weight to obtain the best results after your surgery. Any drastic changes in weight can affect the final look of the body.

Liposuction is a safe procedure and an excellent option to improve the shape of your body. The best way to decide if lipo may be right for you is to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon.
