Brazilian Butt Lift San Diego

Brazilian Butt Lift

One of the areas of the body that naturally tends to show the effects of aging is the buttocks. Over time, your buttocks can start to droop, flatten, or lose volume. Some people naturally inherit smaller, flatter buttocks, and are seeking a way to achieve a curvier, more attractive derrière. With a BBL San Diego plastic surgeon, Dr. Reza Sadrian, specializes in providing clients a great solution.

What is a BBL?

A Brazilian butt lift is a fat transfer procedure that uses a combination of liposuction and fat grafting to produce fuller, higher, rounded – and more appealing buttocks. The procedure can reshape your curves to help you achieve you concept of an ideal body type. The name can be deceiving as a BBL is more than just reshaping the actual buttock. It improves the contour between the buttocks and the waist. This increased contrast between the lower back and buttocks creates lovely, attractive, feminine curves.

What are the Benefits of a BBL?

  • Fat transfer is a great way to enhance the buttocks, as your body recognizes your own cells and it is almost impossible to have any allergic reaction to your own tissue. A percentage of the transferred fat simply becomes part of your buttocks.
  • Not as invasive as butt implants or a full surgical butt lift.
  • A great option for those who want to make their buttocks look rounder and more toned or hope to reduce the look of a flat, droopy, or saggy bottom.
  • The fat is transferred to the upper part of the buttocks, creating a lifting effect.

Who is a Good Candidate
for a BBL?

  • You are unhappy with the appearance of flat or shapeless buttocks.
  • You don’t like it that you have disproportionately small buttocks.
  • You have adequate fatty deposits elsewhere on the body that can be harvested for the fat transfer procedure.
  • You are in good health and safe to undergo the procedure.
  • Non-smoker, as smoking can impede the healing process.
  • Desire to look more attractive in various clothing styles.

What Should I
Expect During Surgery?

The surgery itself will vary depending on which approach is used and whether additional procedures are being performed. Dr. Sadrian's La Jolla Brazilian butt lift is a two-part procedure. First, the fat cells are removed using an advanced, gentle liposuction, after which they are purified, leaving only the fat. These purified fat cells are injected into the buttock with a special syringe using a detailed layering technique to create a natural, curvy appearance.

Is the Procedure Painful?

With a BBL San Diego clients will discover it's a rather gentle and precise procedure. The liposuction is gentle as it is necessary to protect the fat cells from damage during extraction. Incisions are small, which means a quicker healing process and virtually no visible scars. Dr. Sadrian carefully places any liposuction incisions where they’ll be hidden from view. You will need to wear a compression garment and restrict time sitting or lying on your buttocks, but most patients are back to their regular activities within one to two weeks. We want as many of the transferred fat cells as possible to flourish in their new location, so treating your body gently is important.

Is a Brazilian Butt Lift Safe?

A Brazilian butt lift uses your own fat deposits to lift and enhance the way your buttocks appear. You do not have to worry about foreign substances affecting your health. Dr. Sadrian will spend time with you prior to your Brazilian butt lift procedure at his San Diego location, making sure know what to expect in the procedure, expected results, and recovery time. Dr. Sadrian believes it is critical that his patients are fully educated and have realistic expectations.

Brazilian Butt LiftFrequently Asked Questions

For two to four weeks after a BBL, you will not be able to sit, lie or otherwise put pressure on your buttocks. Support yourself with soft pillows and on your side or on your tummy or side as much as you can. As your recovery period progresses, use a standing desk and doughnut pillow.

Tiny incisions are made during the fat removal process. These will heal into small dots that are about five millimeters in diameter. Scars typically heal well and ultimately become almost invisible.

Results after a Brazilian butt lift are long-lasting. You will be able to enjoy a rounded, lifted contour for five years or even longer.

A Brazilian butt lift is already a combination procedure that combines liposuction and a butt lift. In certain cases, a BBL may also be combined with other procedures. A common procedure that may be combined with a Brazilian but lift is a tummy tuck, achieving a more feminine, hourglass silhouette.

A Brazilian butt lift procedure generally takes three to four hours.

Any aesthetic surgery includes risks, such as infection, blood clots, bleeding, anesthesia complications, and others. More specific risks for a Brazilian butt lift include stretch marks and fat embolism (injected fat moving into the bloodstream and traveling to the lungs).
