Brazilian Butt Lift at a Glance
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a surgical procedure that enhances the size and shape of the buttocks using your own fat. Dr. Kachare first performs liposuction to harvest fat from areas like your abdomen, hips, or thighs. He then processes this fat and carefully injects it into specific areas of your buttocks to create a fuller, more rounded appearance. This dual-benefit procedure enhances your buttocks and contours the areas where fat was harvested.
While a BBL primarily focuses on enhancing the buttocks, it also impacts other areas:
By addressing these areas comprehensively, a BBL can dramatically improve your lower body contours and overall figure.
A Brazilian Butt Lift effectively treats several buttock-related concerns, including:
This procedure helps create a more balanced, curvy silhouette, enhancing your overall body proportions.
A Brazilian Butt Lift offers numerous benefits:
Ideal candidates for a Brazilian Butt Lift are adults in good overall health with adequate fat in donor areas and a desire for fuller, more shapely buttocks.
You should be at a stable weight, be a non-smoker, and have realistic expectations about the procedure's results. A BBL is not a weight loss solution but rather a body contouring procedure. During a consultation, Dr. Kachare will evaluate your individual anatomy and goals to determine if a BBL is the right procedure for you.
Following a Brazilian Butt Lift St. Louis patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Dr. Kachare will provide specific instructions on pain management, compression garments, and post-operative care. Most patients can return to work within a week and resume normal activities within a few weeks.
On the day of your surgery, Dr. Kachare will review the procedure and answer any final questions.
You'll receive anesthesia for your comfort. Dr. Kachare will perform liposuction to collect fat from the predetermined donor sites. This fat is then purified and prepared for injection. Using specialized techniques, he'll strategically inject the fat into various areas of your buttocks to create the desired shape and volume. The BBL procedure usually takes 2-3 hours, and you can return home the same day.
After a BBL St. Louis patients will notice an immediate change in their buttock shape after surgery. Final results will become apparent as swelling subsides over the next few months. Your body will reabsorb some of the transferred fat, but the remaining fat cells will persist long-term. Your new buttock contours should look fuller, rounder, and more proportionate to your overall figure. With a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, BBL results can be long-lasting.
The amount varies, but typically ranges from 350 to 650 cc per buttock.
Yes, Brazilian Butt Lifts are often combined with several procedures such as tummy tucks or breast procedures.
Significant weight changes can affect your BBL results, so maintaining a stable weight is important.
Light activities can usually resume after 1-2 weeks, with full exercise at 4-6 weeks.
Liposuction incisions are very small and typically fade well over time.
You should avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for about two weeks, using a special pillow when necessary.
Many surgeons consider BBL safer and more natural-looking than implants when performed by a qualified surgeon, especially when performed under ultrasound guidance. Dr. Kachare uses ultrasound to guide the injection process and improve safety and outcomes.
While not specifically designed to treat cellulite, a BBL may sometimes improve its appearance.
