what is bbl surgery

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves the transfer of fat from various parts of the body to the buttocks to increase their size and improve their shape. It is not a traditional "lift" procedure, but rather an augmentation of the buttock region using the patient's own fat tissue. The surgery is performed in two steps: first, fat is removed from areas such as the belly, hips, lower back, or thighs using liposuction, and then the fat is injected into the buttock area. The result is a more hourglass-shaped figure with larger buttocks. BBL is different from buttock implants, as it uses the patient's own fat to enhance the buttocks. The procedure is performed by plastic surgeons and requires the patient to be in good physical and mental health with realistic expectations. The average cost for a BBL is reported to be around $4,807, not including other fees such as anesthesia and facility costs. The recovery period involves wearing a compression garment and experiencing mild to moderate pain, bruising, and swelling. The procedure carries inherent risks, and unsafe techniques can be especially dangerous, with the most serious potential complication being pulmonary fat embolism. To minimize risks, surgeons should adhere to safety guidelines, such as injecting fat no deeper than the subcutaneous plane. It is important for patients to consult with a qualified and experienced surgeon and to be aware of the latest safety guidelines for Brazilian butt lift procedures
