How To Achieve Natural BBL Surgery Results Seamlessly

One of the main concerns for women considering a cosmetic procedure is the appearance of unnatural or artificial-looking results.

Most women want curves, but they want them to appear as natural as possible.

Fortunately, the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) can provide natural-looking results in a surefire manner.

How Are These Results More Realistic?

A buttock augmentation procedure can be achieved via several techniques; these include butt implants and a fat transfer to the buttocks, also known as a Brazilian Butt Lift. While buttock implants can create realistic results, they cannot match the natural contours of the BBL.

The Brazilian Butt Lift method uses your body's fat cells to create rounder and fuller buttocks. Using fat gives you natural-feeling results, given that organic tissue is utilized.

Newer methods like the AirSculpt Power BBL™ allow surgeons to sculpt subtle results customized to each patient's unique shape and goals. By contrast, implants may cause an unnatural, exaggerated look and feel in the buttocks.

Also, during a buttock implant, the surgeon cannot remove fat from or contour the lower body, as would be done via a fat transfer. Thus, implants may produce a more artificial body shape than the natural BBL definition. 

Why Should I Get A Brazilian Butt Lift Over Buttocks Implants?

As board-certified Boston-area plastic surgeon Dr. Cynthia Poulos details in this video, using a patient's own tissue to enhance the buttocks offers several benefits. These range from enhanced safety to better results.

A few of the advantages of a natural BBL surgery compared with implants include:

• Lower complication rate: implants can carry several risks, including migration of the implant, rupturing, allergic reaction, and infection. Fat is a natural, organic material that does not pose such hazards.

• Customized results: implants come in pre-set shapes and sizes, but fat transfers can inject exact amounts into different parts of the buttocks to provide the desired contour. For example, surgeons can focus on filling in hip dips if they have a good side view but deal with pesky indentations. Or, they can do the reverse and focus on adding projection to the buttocks instead.

• Less invasive: A BBL can be done under local anesthesia, but implants often require patients to be put under general anesthesia.

• Fat removal and transfer: Fat transfers offer the dual benefit of excess fat removal and butt enhancement. Still, as Dr. Poulos mentions, even thin patients can get a BBL, as only a modest amount of fat is needed.

• Long-lasting: Once the fat settles, BBL results become permanent, with the caveat that the buttocks will slowly lose volume with the natural aging process. Implants, however, often must be removed after several years. Even if you gain weight after a BBL, your new proportions will be preserved, as the buttocks will increase in size while harvest areas remain less affected.

The Natural BBL Surgery Process

The natural Brazilian Butt Lift is a two-step process much less invasive than buttocks implants. The two-step process involves liposuction and fat transfer. 

Liposuction is a tried-and-true method to remove unwanted fat. Because the process includes fat removal and transfer, an ideal candidate for the Brazilian Butt Lift has fat they would like to get rid of from other areas of the body. Harvest sites patients often select include the hips, thighs, abdomen, and back. 

Liposuction, which consists of placing incisions on these "harvest sites" and then inserting an aspiration device known as a cannula to suction out the fat, is the first step of the BBL process.

Once that fat has been removed, it is processed to remove unwanted materials and ensure that the fatty tissue used is high quality. Incisions are then created on the buttocks and fat, and then the fat transfer process begins.

Fat Grafting Ensures Proportional Results

As renowned cosmetic surgeon Dr. Aaron Rollins explains, the fat transfer process is an artistic process. Surgeons will insert exact amounts of fat to deliver balanced results tailored to the patient's goals.

Then, before finishing, they will look at the patient from different angles with the nurses to ensure a natural-looking outcome is achieved.

What Are Results Like From A Natural BBL?

The results from a Brazilian Butt Lift can range from subtle to significant augmentation of the buttocks' volume. Patients can transfer varying quantities of fat as long as they have enough to harvest, a major benefit of a BBL fat transfer. With implants, the shape and size of the shell come from a set of pre-determined designs. 

An all-natural BBL procedure can also modify the buttocks' shape, as you can see in the before and after photo above. The surgeon can manipulate the fat, placing it towards the hips to create an hourglass silhouette or more outwards to give your glutes more projection.

In the long run, natural BBL results must be maintained. The buttocks can increase in size if you enter a caloric surplus. If you don't eat enough calories to maintain your current weight, the fat cells will shrink, which will also affect the results of your BBL.

Therefore, a healthy lifestyle is an excellent step to ensure your BBL results last. That's why most patients who undergo a BBL usually use it as a motivator to continue or newly commit to a healthier lifestyle.
