Who is this procedure for?
The BBL is for people who want to increase their buttock volume using their own fat.
You may have flat buttocks, little projection, or a loss of shape due to aging.
Sufficient fatty areas must be available for fat harvesting.
This procedure can be for younger individuals seeking volume, or more mature individuals wishing to restore their shape.
Consultation Process
Consultations allow us to assess your body shape, fat distribution, and your aesthetic expectations.
A detailed clinical examination identifies possible harvesting areas and the feasibility of the project.
The technical limitations, potential results, and post-operative constraints are explained.
A legal reflection period applies before any surgery can be scheduled.
Preparation Steps
Preparation includes standard pre-operative tests based on your health status.
Quitting smoking may be recommended to reduce fat resorption and complications.
The technical choices depend on the desired volume, tissue quality, and fat reserves.
A detailed quote will be provided, along with information on post-operative care.
The Procedure in Practice
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia in most cases.
The operating time varies depending on the number of areas treated and the volumes injected.
Gentle liposuction is used to harvest the fat, which is then purified and prepared.
The fat is reinjected gradually to optimize fat take.
Outpatient or short-stay hospitalization may be offered depending on the situation.
Surgical procedures are not performed within our clinic.
Post-operative Care
Post-operative care involves bruising, swelling, and temporary discomfort when walking.
Pain is usually moderate and managed with appropriate medication.
Wearing compression garments is generally recommended for several weeks.
You should avoid prolonged sitting and lying on your back during the initial phase.
The return to daily activities is gradual, depending on your recovery.
Regular post-operative follow-up is conducted to monitor healing and volume.
Results and Scars
The result aims for larger, better-projected, and proportionate buttocks.
Some of the injected fat may be reabsorbed in the first few months.
The final result is usually apparent between 3 and 6 months.
Scars are discreet, located at the harvesting and injection sites.
Scar quality depends on your skin and adherence to post-operative instructions.
Risks and Possible Complications
Like any surgery, the BBL carries potential risks.
Infections, hematomas, volume irregularities, or asymmetries can occur.
Excessive fat resorption may limit the final volume achieved.
Rarer complications, such as fat embolism, are described in the literature.
Current techniques aim to reduce these risks, but cannot eliminate them entirely.
Transparent information allows for an informed decision.
Fees and Coverage
The Brazilian Butt Lift is considered an aesthetic surgery procedure.
No coverage by Social Security is provided in this context.
The fee depends on the number of areas aspirated and the volume reinjected.
As an indication, the BBL can be offered from €9,000, depending on the situation.
A personalized quote is always provided after consultation.
