What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is widely agreed to be the best solution for increasing the size and improving the shape of the buttocks, while also molding other areas of the body that are often difficult to tone. Instead of using implants, as was once typical, a BBL uses transferred fat. The fat is harvested via liposuction from areas of the patient’s body where there is an excess of fatty tissue. It is then purified before being injected into strategic locations on the buttocks for a fuller yet proportional appearance. The procedure allows Dr. Varkony to sculpt results that look and feel extremely natural.

For those who may be concerned, research has shown that, when performed correctly, a Brazilian Butt Lift is just as safe as other plastic surgeries.1

Why Brazilian Butt Lift are Superior to Buttock Implants

A Brazilian Butt Lift, or BBL, uses the patient’s natural fat to increase the volume of the buttocks for a more natural appearance and feeling compared to silicone implants. Employing the patient’s fat also reduces the possibility of certain complications associated with synthetic implants. Along with shaping and lifting the butt, a BBL will usually sculpt the abdomen, waist, and/or hips along with any other areas chosen to be liposculpted. Using VASER ultrasound liposuction can further improve outcomes.

Slimmer and more contoured appearance in the location where fat is harvested

VASER Ultrasound Liposuction Means Better BBL

VASER stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance. Unlike other devices that remove fat mechanically with a cannula, VASER ultrasound liposuction enables the removal of body fat with the power of sound waves.

The device has become popular largely because of its ability to remove fat very thoroughly in what we call high-definition liposculpting. Removing fat for a BBL, however, differs from other types of liposuction in that the fat is harvested, rather than simply being removed and fat cells must remain viable to be injected back into the body. At lower power settings, VASER ultrasound liposuction can gather a greater number of fat cells than conventional liposuction, resulting in a more thorough liposuction. The procedure, therefore, enables more slender patients to get BBL when they otherwise might not have enough excess fat.

Apart from being able to obtain a larger amount of viable fat, the use of VASER technology has other benefits. Because the sound waves are tuned to target fat cells, VASER has less bruising and discomfort than other types of liposuction. It is also associated with shorter recovery times and less post-operative discomfort. 

More Reasons Why Patients Trust Dr. Varkony for BBL

Dr. Varkony is a renowned innovator who is always up to date on the latest best practices. In particular, he is a leader in reducing visible scarring to an absolute minimum. Also, instead of using a syringe to inject fat into the buttocks like most other surgeons, he uses an electric pump to inject the fat and sculpt the patient’s buttocks with greater precision and safety.

Are You a Candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift?

Good candidates for a Brazilian Butt Lift should be in good health and have enough excess fat stores to transfer to the buttocks. The use of VASER ultrasound liposuction, however, means that this is a problem for fewer patients. If you are unsure whether the procedure is available to you, the way to be sure is to set up an appointment with Dr. Varkony.

Importantly, prospective patients should also have realistic expectations regarding results, as outcomes may vary for every individual.

Recovery

Patients will need to avoid applying direct pressure on their buttocks for at least the first two weeks following surgery. Normal sitting can usually resume after approximately eight weeks. Additionally, patients may experience some soreness and swelling which can usually be managed with Tylenol.
