THE LONGEVITY OF A BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT EFFECTS

Posted by Dr. Douglas Steinbrech

Posterior view of a female patient with marks on her glutes in a purple background in relation to a Brazilian Butt Lift procedure and how long does it lasts.

Should you ever find yourself wondering, “How long does a Brazilian butt lift last?” or “Does a Brazilian butt lift last?” You are not alone. Considered one of the most often performed cosmetic surgeries is a Brazilian Butt Lift, or BBL. Combining liposuction techniques with fat transfer, this operation seeks to contour your body to provide the desired rounded behind and thereby enhance your appearance. What then is the true duration of a BBL operation? Does a BBL last for a noteworthy length of time? We shall thoroughly address these topics in this post, including the lifetime and consequences of this plastic surgery operation.

Does a Brazilian Butt Lift Lasts a Significant Amount of Time?

As a surgical operation, a Brazilian Butt Lift is well-known for producing amazing results. Still, many people find questions regarding its lifetime. The good news is that a Brazilian butt lift is regarded as long-lasting and usually gives individuals who have one year of pleasure.

Individual differences define the lifetime of effects from this semi-permanent operation. It mostly depends on the person’s lifestyle, nutrition, body type, aesthetic goals, consistency in keeping a steady weight, medical issues, and of course, the normal aging process. Another important consideration is the degree of bodily adaptation to the transferred fat cells.

What Does the BBL Procedure Involve?

Two major phases comprise buttock enlargement with a BBL: liposuction and fat transfer. Usually the abdomen, thighs, or lower back, a BBL removes extra fat from specific body areas using a sophisticated liposuction procedure. The fat is next cleaned and ready for the transfer.

To generate additional volume and a natural shape, the fat transfer entails injecting this obtained fat into the buttocks. Since it makes use of your body fat, which lowers the danger of infection and other possible hazards, this is less intrusive cosmetic surgery than butt implants.

How Does the Body Adapt After the BBL Procedure?

The moved fat cells need time to settle in their new site following BBL surgery. To survive, they require blood. Within weeks following surgery, the body will instinctively try to build blood arteries in these cells. Not all these fat cells, though, will survive. The buttocks will assimilate between 60 and 80 percent of the transferred fat tissue on average.

How Long Before I Get to Enjoy the Final Result?

Individual differences define a smooth recovery process following a Brazilian butt lift. Usually, six to eight weeks after surgery, you will start to feel the effects; yet, the ultimate result might not be evident six months to a year after the operation. The body requires time to heal and adjust to the new fat distribution, hence patience is absolutely important.

How Will Weight Fluctuations Affect My Butt Lift?

The long-term effects of your Brazilian butt lift may be much changed by weight variations. Getting weight will cause the fat cells in your butt to swell, giving you a more full appearance. Still, losing weight will reduce these cells, therefore lowering the volume of your buttocks. Try to keep a constant weight if you want optimum long-term outcomes.

Are the Results 100% Permanent?

Although BBL surgery produces long-lasting benefits, given the body’s natural aging process, the phrase “permanent” may not be quite true. Changes in the tissues and cells of the body are certain with time. Nonetheless, the lifetime of the Brazilian butt lift can surely be prolonged by keeping a steady weight, a good diet, and consistent physical activity.

What to Expect During the Recovery Process?

Maintaining long-lasting outcomes depends on the recovery phase of this butt augmentation operation. Avoid sitting or laying directly on your buttocks for at least two weeks right after the operation. Rather, you might make use of unique cushions developed especially for post-bbl patients.

Moreover, avoid intense exercise during the healing time especially those that would strain your buttocks. Starting too soon physical exercise can impede the recovery process.

Are There Any Risks Involved?

Like any surgery, a Brazilian butt lift poses the same risks including those of infection, bleeding, numbness, or fat embolism.

Who Is the Ideal Candidate for a BBL?

Someone with enough fat in other body parts for the fat transfer surgery is a good candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift. Apart from this, they ought not to smoke and should be generally healthy.

Preoperative Care: Can I Do Anything to Enhance the Results?

The weeks before the procedure are quite important. Eat a balanced diet, stay hydrated, and steer clear of several drugs like blood-thinning drugs. Maintaining good physical condition before the surgery could help to increase the lifetime of the outcomes.

Can a Brazilian Butt Lift Be Combined with Other Procedures?

To get a more complete body makeover, many patients choose to combine their Brazilian butt lift with other cosmetic surgery treatments such as a stomach tuck or breast augmentation. Talking about your expectations and preferences with your cosmetic surgeon during the appointment will help you to decide with knowledge.
