BBL Myths, Risks, and Tips: What to Know About Keeping Your Results

Many people are interested in the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure, which transfers fat from one part of their body to the buttocks. If you're interested, you must be well informed, given that misinformation is abundant on the web.

To debunk the most common Brazilian butt lift myths, we've set up this article to make sure that you understand and learn the truth behind the procedure.

Myth 1: Surgery Can't Change What Your Genetics Gave You

Every myth has an element of truth attached to it, but it's not the full story. Indeed, having surgery won't change your genetic structure, but it does not mean that a butt lift isn't effective for changing the appearance of your buttocks.

The reality is that satisfying results are possible for qualified patients for the procedure. It's still important to be realistic about your goals and expectations before undergoing surgery.

Surgery can make positive changes, but it's not a permanent cure. Therefore, discuss your reasons for the surgery with your surgeon and see whether your goals can be realistically met.

Myth 2: The Results Aren't Worth The Risk

Many people worry that undergoing a buttock augmentation isn't worth it under the assumption that the procedure doesn't consistently provide great results.

That mainly comes down to personal opinion, but while each patient has a different outlook on their outcome, the truth can be statistically found in patient ratings.

Several sites have their rating systems, but on the popular site realseld.com, 81% of patients have given their buttock augmentation a "worth it" rating. 

Myth 3: Gaining Weight Will Ruin Your Results

Can BBL Results Be Ruined? BBL results can risk being changed if a patient does not care for themselves during recovery or after the fact.

Moderate increments or weight loss will not significantly affect your buttock augmentation results and will generally be kept in proportion with the rest of your body.

Nonetheless, if you do significantly gain or lose weight, the transferred fat in your buttocks can alter to the point that it doesn't comply with your aesthetic goals. That said, make sure that you maintain your weight and commit to a healthy lifestyle after these surgeries.

Myth 4: Brazilian Butt Lifts Are Too Invasive

While traditional Brazilian Butt Lifts have invasive surgical properties, Elite Body Sculpture's AirSculpt® Power BBL™ does not.

The minimally invasive approach allows patients to make lasting changes to their bodies without undergoing a treatment requiring general anesthesia. Therefore, if you're wondering how to keep BBL results, consider the power of AirSculpt.
