The Rise of the Brazilian Butt Lift

The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is one of the hottest growing plastic surgery procedures. The reason for the popularity of the Brazilian Butt Lift is the buzz of pop culture icons across all social media platforms. Today, women and men are seeking a more voluptuous, fuller derriere. The Brazilian Butt Lift is not an implant in any regard. The Brazilian Butt Lift procedure “harvests” fat from excess areas of the body which is then injected into the buttocks. The Brazilian Butt Lift procedure involves three steps:

1. Extra fat is “harvested” or removed generally from the abdomen, thighs, flanks, and hips with liposuction.

2. The extracted fat is then purified.

3.The purified fat is injected specifically into targeted areas in the buttocks to increase volume giving a fuller, voluptuous contour.

After exhausting countless hours on the step mill, squats and lunges the fuller buttock is difficult for many to achieve. Removing unwanted fat and relocating it to the buttocks makes the Brazilian Butt Lift a very desirable procedure. For many the reduction of unwanted fat and a fuller derriere spikes confidence and self­ esteem. While the Brazilian Butt Lift is a popular procedure, it is not right for everyone. It is important to talk with your board-certified plastic surgeon about your expectations and desired outcomes.
