Dr. Desrosiers specializes in transforming bodies and enhancing curves through advanced cosmetic procedures. One such popular and transformative procedure is the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). If you’ve been dreaming of achieving a shapelier and more voluptuous derrière, you’ve come to the right place. On this page, we’ll delve into the details of the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure, its benefits, candidacy criteria, recovery process, and why Dr. Desrosiers is your top destination for the best BBL in Miami.
The Brazilian Butt Lift, often abbreviated as BBL, is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the shape, size, and contour of the buttocks using the patient’s own fat. Unlike traditional butt augmentation procedures that involve implants, BBL’s utilizes fat grafting techniques to achieve natural-looking and long-lasting results. During the procedure, excess fat is harvested from donor areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or lower back through liposuction. This harvested fat is then processed and purified before being strategically injected into the buttocks to enhance volume, shape, and projection.
Safety is our top priority, and we utilize the latest advancements in technology to ensure the safest and most effective Brazilian Butt Lift procedure possible. One such innovation is the use of ultrasound technology during fat grafting to precisely target the right tissue plane for fat injection. By employing ultrasound guidance, Dr. Desrosiers can accurately visualize the underlying structures and navigate the injection process with precision, minimizing the risk of complications such as fat emboli.
The benefits of a BBL include:
With proper postoperative care and maintenance, the results of a Brazilian Butt Lift can be long-lasting, providing you with curves that stand the test of time. Note, there is some fat resorption – meaning that some of the transferred fat cells will be resorbed by the body. Transferred fat survival rates typically range from 50 to 75%. Patient age, nutrition, and compliance with not exerting pressure on fat grafted areas significantly influence the rate of fat survival.
Ideal candidates for a Brazilian Butt Lift are individuals who:
After undergoing a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure, it is crucial for patients to avoid putting pressure on the buttocks during the initial stages of recovery. Excessive pressure on the newly transferred fat cells can disrupt their integration and compromise the outcome of the surgery. Patients are commonly advised to refrain from sitting or lying directly on their buttocks for several weeks following the procedure. This provides sufficient time for the fat grafts to establish blood supply and settle into place. During this time, patients are typically encouraged to use special pillows or cushions that provide support to the thighs or hips while keeping the buttocks elevated. By adhering to these postoperative guidelines and minimizing pressure on the treated area, patients can enhance fat survival and optimize the long-term results of their BBL procedure.
Compression garments are an integral component of the postoperative care protocol. These garments serve multiple purposes in the recovery process. First, compression garments provide essential support to the treated areas, aiding in the stabilization of tissues and minimizing the risk of postoperative complications. Additionally, they play a crucial role in reducing swelling by applying gentle pressure to the treated areas, which helps to facilitate fluid drainage and promote tissue healing. Moreover, compression garments promote skin retraction, helping to ensure that the skin conforms smoothly to the newly contoured body shape. By offering consistent and controlled compression, these garments contribute to shaping the body’s contours and optimizing the overall aesthetic results of the procedure.
Following a BBL, lipo foam pads will typically also used as a barrier between your compression garment and your skin. Lipo foam pads are made of soft, flexible foam material that conforms to the contours of the body.
One of the key benefits of lipo foam is its ability to create a smooth and even surface over the treated areas, which helps to reduce the risk of irregularities or indentations in the skin during the healing process. Additionally, lipo foam pads provide cushioning and protection, reducing discomfort and irritation caused by compression garments and other postoperative dressings.
Following any liposuction procedure, it is often recommended to undergo a series of at least 12 sessions of lymphatic massage, commonly referred to as lipo massage. These specialized massages are gentle and specifically targeted to promote lymphatic drainage, which plays an important role in reducing postoperative swelling and preventing the formation of irregularities (sometimes called fibrosis) in the treated areas. By facilitating lymphatic circulation, these massages contribute to optimal healing and enhance the overall outcomes of the procedure.
