Brazilian buttocks augmentation is basically transferring fat from certain areas of your body and injecting it into the buttock area. The fat for the transfer is taken from the more fatty areas of your body like the stomach, the “love handles,” hips, lower back, or thighs. The fat is then removed with a gentle liposuction device designed to protect live fat cells. Once these fat particles are purified, they’re injected back into the buttocks through a very small incision.
As this procedure requires transferring fat from certain areas of your body to the buttocks, so women who are overweight or have stubborn fat deposits are ideal candidates for the Brazilian Fat Transfer procedure. In fact, this is a great procedure if you have extra fat on your body since it functions as a two-in-one liposuction plus butt enhancement surgery.
BBA may not be a good choice for individuals who are very small in stature or those who are very slender and have little overall body fat; however, the cosmetic surgeon is often able to locate a sufficient amount of fat during the consultation to allow the fat transfer to be performed successfully. If you are severely under your ideal weight, you are unlikely to be a candidate for this surgery.
Every surgery has risks and it is important to discuss these risks with your surgeon before you schedule any procedure. Certain aspects of your health and lifestyle may put you at greater or lesser risk while having a BBA. One of the best ways to minimize the risks is by choosing a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to perform your surgery.
The recovery time for a BBA varies from patient to patient, but it is not uncommon for patients whose jobs are not highly active to return to work within seven days. Within three to four weeks, many patients resume moderate to full activity levels, though the recovery time may be longer for certain patients.
Swelling and bruising will diminish in the weeks following the surgery. Patients need to wear a compression garment beneath their regular clothes for a brief length of time during their recovery. Your surgeon may instruct you to be mindful of how you are sitting in the weeks after your butt augmentation procedure; however, each patient’s guidelines are different, and your personalized post-operative instructions will be reviewed with you during your pre-op visits.
