Brazilian Butt Lift in Scottsdale, AZ

The so-called "Brazilian Butt Lift", or "BBL," is one of the most rapidly growing treatments in the U.S. and is currently in popular demand by both men and women.

This surgery involves transferring some fat from other parts of your body, removed by liposuction, and injecting it into the buttock area to produce more fullness there.  It allows improvement in the size and shape of the buttock area without the need for a buttock implant.

There is an artistic approach to perfecting this procedure, and with many years of advanced training and experience, Scottsdale, AZ plastic surgeon Dr. James Nachbar is able to produce natural, beautiful results at Scottsdale Plastic Surgery.

In addition to providing a curvier, more attractive butt, a Brazilian butt lift in Scottsdale, AZ has a number of significant benefits, like:

• Cutting down on fat — Because a BBL harvests fat from extra spots of your body to enhance the rear end, you will obtain the added benefit of cutting down on undesirable fat in the stomach, thighs, hips, and love handles.
• Enhancing ratios — The enhancement to the backside from a BBL can give your body an enhanced shape, no matter if you would like a fuller backside or an hourglass figure.
• Fast outcomes — The improvements from a BBL are noticeable nearly immediately.
• Trusted enhancement — Because a BBL uses the body's host fat, there is little to no risk of a negative rejection, when contrasted with synthetic fillers, ruptured implants, or risks from surgery.
• Feels natural — Brazilian butt lifts have a better feel than other treatments, like implants or fillers.

General anesthesia is used for a Brazilian butt lift surgery. It is an outpatient procedure and on average takes approximately 2 – 3 hours, depending on the liposuction involved and whether other procedures are planned.

Liposuction will be used first to extract fat from specific locations on the body such as the abdominal area, hips and thighs. This process of fat removal is performed precisely and safely so the fat tissue is not subjected to open air before it is purified for re-injection.

After this process, viable and healthy fat tissue is harvested and put into syringes. In the final step, the injection transfer occurs, with the extracted fat tissue reinstated in layers with a gentle massage to make sure the surface looks smooth. This phase is repeated multiple times until the desired roundness and shape has been achieved.

Following a Brazilian butt lift, you will be released home to rest. Keep in mind there are two areas that need recovery time — both the areas where the fat was extracted and the augmented area. Both areas will have incision care needed.

Patients should try their best to not place unnecessary weight, and especially shearing forces, on the rear end for approximately 2 weeks following surgery to give the transferred fat the best chance of survival in its new location.

After the swelling has gone away, you will be able to see the improved contour of the buttock, both because of the fat transfer and because of the removal of the surrounding fat.
