How Does BBL Compare to Traditional Butt Lift Surgery?
BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) and traditional butt lift surgery both aim to enhance the shape and size of the buttocks, but they differ significantly in their approach. Traditional butt lift surgery typically involves the use of buttock implants, which are inserted through incisions in the skin. These implants are made from synthetic materials and provide volume and projection to the buttocks. While this procedure can be effective for individuals with little natural fat, it carries certain risks, including implant rejection, infection, and complications from the implants themselves. Additionally, traditional butt lift surgery often requires longer recovery periods, as the body adjusts to the foreign implants.
In contrast, BBL uses the patient’s own fat to enhance the buttocks, which is a more natural option. The fat is harvested through liposuction from areas with excess fat, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. After the fat is purified, it is reinjected into the buttocks to provide volume and shape. Because the procedure uses the patient’s own tissue, the risks associated with BBL are generally lower than those of traditional butt lift surgery. The results of a BBL are more natural-looking, and since it avoids the use of synthetic materials, there is a reduced risk of complications. BBL also benefits from the added advantage of body contouring in other areas, making it a more versatile option.
