Non-Surgical Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
What to Expect
We begin the treatment by administering a local numbing agent to the area. Then, we strategically inject biostimulators, such as Radiesse or Sculptra, into the buttocks to create a fuller, rounder-looking appearance. This helps smooth out lines and cellulite.
Patients remain awake during the procedure, and the injection process takes 1-2 hours. After the treatment, patients can expect swelling, bruising, and discomfort around the injection sites.
Recovery typically takes 1-2 weeks, with the first few days being the most physically restrictive. Pain medication and compression garments can be used to help manage discomfort during initial recovery.
After about 6 months, the final results of the non-surgical BBL can be seen. There may be residual swelling for 9-12 months. However, patients should maintain a stable weight and use massage and other therapies to optimize fat retention and longevity of results.
What Can Non-Surgical Brazilian Butt Lift Do for You?
Many patients choose this treatment to achieve an enhanced curve, address sagging, or improve proportions without implants. The effects are permanent if the enriched fat cells survive. While results are not as dramatic as a full Brazilian butt lift surgery, a non-surgical lift appeals to those seeking moderate enhancement with minimal downtime.
- • Fuller, rounder buttocks: Injecting fat into the buttocks adds volume and creates a lifted shape. The buttocks appear fuller, curvier, and more proportionate with the rest of the body.
- • Improved contours: Strategic fat grafting helps smooth out any irregularities and define your body’s contours. The final shape is natural-looking, not overtly enhanced.
- • Enhanced proportions: Fat is placed to achieve an hourglass silhouette, enhancing the ratio between the hips, waist, and buttocks.
- • More youthful appearance: Adding volume can help address sagging and minimize the flattened, drooping look that comes with age and gravity. The buttocks take on a perkier, more youthful shape.
- • Natural feel: Since it utilizes the body's own fat, the enhanced areas feel entirely natural: no implants or foreign materials.
- • Permanent if graft survives: Unlike fillers which are eventually absorbed, transplanted fat cells are permanent if they successfully engraft and receive adequate blood supply. Touch-ups may be needed.
- • Minimal scarring: Only small injection points and liposuction scars remain, which fade over several months.
- • Moderate enhancement: While a surgical BBL produces more dramatic augmentation, a non-surgical BBL provides moderate, natural-looking improvements in shape and fullness.
