Brazilian Butt Augmentation Manhattan

BBL uses your own fat, which your body is not likely to reject. On the other hand, implants may cause a foreign body reaction. Implants also come with risks such rupture or capsular contracture. Another major advantage of BBL over implants is that it is a “dual-benefit” body contouring procedure. It reshapes the fat donor sites such as the abdomen waist and flanks by removing unwanted fat and uses this fat to improve the appearance of the posterior.

In general, BBL requires a good amount of fat in the order of several hundred CCs or even more per buttock. As not all of the fat transferred will survive, surgeons generally overfill the buttocks with fat by a certain percentage, though this would vary based on the technique used. You should discuss your goals with your plastic surgeon in an in-person consultation beforehand so that your surgeon can help you achieve the best results.

The ideal patient would have sufficient fat available for transfer to the buttocks. But techniques have really evolved and even some smaller patients who may be considered too slim a few years ago, can still have enough fat in appropriately found places in order to have an effective BBL.

Visible improvement can be seen just the day after the treatment. The final outcome can be seen in 8 weeks to 3 months’ time.

If there are no unexpected complications, you can expect to get back to routine in a week’s time. You will be advised to avoid sitting on your back during the initial weeks. If you need to sit, use a donut pillow or inflatable pillow. Following your surgeon’s instructions on diet and exercise and rest, and avoiding smoking can speed healing.

The blood cells develop in the early several weeks after the surgery. Proper post-op care can maximize the survivability of the fat graft. Once the cells are matured after several weeks to months, the fat that has been transferred should last several years or longer. As weight fluctuations can affect the achieved outcome, it is important to maintain a stable your weight stable for long-lasting BBL results.

The procedure cost generally includes liposuction and fat transfer surgery costs, as well as facility fees, anesthesia, and pre-/post-operative care. With local anesthesia, only smaller amounts of fat are injected at one time. Dr. Chia says that many patients who have butt augmentation done under local anesthesia at bodySCULPT^® tolerate it so well that they return on multiple occasions to gradually increase their buttock size in stages. With this option, BBL can be done safely, comfortably and with a shorter recovery time and at a lower cost because an anesthesiologist, extra nursing staff and excess operating room costs are avoided.
