If you’re looking to enhance your curves and achieve a more sculpted, fuller appearance, a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) may be the perfect solution. At Park Plaza Plastic Surgery in New York City, Dr. George Lefkovits, MD, offers expert BBL procedures to help patients attain the shape they’ve always desired. Visit us at 9 E 62nd St, New York, NY 10065, or call (212) 750-9494 to schedule your consultation and take the first step toward a more contoured silhouette.
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), also known as buttock augmentation, is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the shape and size of the buttocks using the patient’s own fat. Unlike traditional implants, this procedure uses fat harvested from other areas of the body (such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs) to create a more natural and fuller appearance. The result is a more sculpted and contoured figure that looks and feels natural.
A BBL offers numerous benefits, including:
- Natural-Looking Results: Since the procedure uses your own fat, the results look and feel more natural compared to implants.
- Body Contouring: By removing fat from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, a BBL also enhances your overall body shape and silhouette.
- Minimal Scarring: The incisions used during the fat harvesting and injection processes are small, resulting in minimal scarring.
A Brazilian Butt Lift may be an ideal option if you:
- Desire fuller, more rounded buttocks
- Have stubborn fat deposits in other areas that can be used for the procedure
- Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the outcome
- Do not smoke, as smoking can interfere with healing and results
During your consultation, Dr. Lefkovits will evaluate your body type and discuss your goals to determine if a BBL is right for you.
A BBL procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and involves two main stages: liposuction and fat transfer.
1. Liposuction
First, Dr. Lefkovits performs liposuction to harvest fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, flanks, or back. This step not only provides the fat needed for transfer but also sculpts and enhances your body shape, creating a more defined contour.
2. Fat Processing and Injection
The harvested fat is then purified to ensure that only the healthiest cells are used. Dr. Lefkovits carefully injects the processed fat into the buttocks at varying depths and locations to create a fuller, natural shape. This technique allows for precise sculpting and ensures even, long-lasting results.
Recovery from a Brazilian Butt Lift involves several stages, and following post-operative instructions is crucial to achieving optimal results.
- Initial Recovery: You may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort for the first few days. Dr. Lefkovits will prescribe pain medication and provide instructions for managing any discomfort.
- Compression Garment: Patients are advised to wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and support the healing process.
- Avoiding Pressure: It’s important to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for at least 2-3 weeks to ensure the fat cells survive and take hold. You will be instructed to use a special pillow when sitting or to lie on your side or stomach to avoid pressure on the area.
- Returning to Daily Activities: Most patients can return to work within 10-14 days, depending on their job’s physical demands. Strenuous activities and exercise should be avoided for at least 4-6 weeks.
Full results typically become visible within a few months as swelling subsides and the body adapts to its new shape.
One of the key benefits of a BBL is the long-lasting nature of the results. When performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Lefkovits, the transferred fat cells can integrate well, providing a fuller and more sculpted look that can last for years with proper maintenance. Maintaining a stable weight and following a healthy lifestyle can help preserve your results.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks associated with a Brazilian Butt Lift. Potential complications may include:
- Infection
- Fat embolism (rare but serious)
- Asymmetry or irregularities in contour
- Seromas or fluid accumulation
Dr. Lefkovits uses the latest techniques and safety measures to minimize risks, ensuring each patient receives the highest standard of care.
Depending on your goals, Dr. Lefkovits may recommend complementary procedures such as liposuction of additional areas to further contour your figure or skin tightening treatments to enhance the overall outcome of your BBL.
If you’re ready to achieve the curves and shape you’ve always desired, Park Plaza Plastic Surgery is here to help. Dr. George Lefkovits, MD, is a board-certified plastic surgeon with years of experience and a commitment to delivering beautiful, natural-looking results.
