Brazilian Butt Lift(BBL) in Los Angeles & Beverly Hills
Brazilian Butt Lift(BBL) is a cosmetic surgery enhancing the size and shape of the buttocks through fat transfer. It includes harvesting fats from different body areas through liposuction and injecting it into the buttocks, resulting in a curvier and more excellent proportionate appearance. Ideal for the ones searching for buttock enlargements without implants, a Brazilian Butt Lift gives natural results.
Here’s a closer look at the process:
- Liposuction: During this initial step, a tumescent solution (local anesthesia) is injected into targeted areas like your abdomen, hips, or thighs. This solution helps numb the area and facilitates the fat removal process. A thin surgical cannula (tube) is then inserted, and a specialized suction device gently removes unwanted fat deposits.
- Fat Processing: The harvested fat isn’t directly injected into the buttocks. It undergoes a meticulous processing step to ensure optimal viability for transfer. This process typically involves gentle purification to remove excess fluids and debris, leaving behind healthy fat cells for transfer.
- Fat Transfer & Sculpting: Once processed, the fat is strategically injected into specific areas of your buttocks using blunt cannulas. Dr. Garg will carefully sculpt and reshape the buttocks with the transferred fat to achieve your desired outcome, aiming for a natural-looking, curvier appearance.
Unlike traditional butt augmentation with implants, the BBL offers a significant advantage: natural-looking results. Since the procedure utilizes your own body fat, the final outcome seamlessly integrates with your existing tissues, creating a more organic and harmonious aesthetic.
