Introduction
The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a safe technique that entails body reshaping through buttock augmentation using autologous fat transfer.
Method
Between 2018 and 2022, 3000 patients underwent surgery. Each procedure commenced with the patient in supine position, starting with abdominal liposuction, followed by fat transfer to hips. Subsequently, the patient was repositioned to a prone stance. Liposuction of the back and waist ensued, concluding the surgery with fat transfer to the buttocks. Stringent precautions were implemented to ensure the safety of the patient throughout the procedure.
Results
Eighty-six percent of patients express satisfaction with their outcomes, while seventy percent of the transferred fat calls survive in the buttocks. One serious complication and some minor complications have been encountered and effectively managed through conservative measures.
Conclusion
BBL proves to be a safe and satisfactory surgery when performed by experienced surgeons who adhere to fundamental principles.
