LEARN HOW THE SPECIALIZED FAT TRANSFER PROCEDURE ENHANCES THE BUTTOCKS IN WESTFIELD, NJ

BBL surgery from NJ’s Dr. Carlos Burnett at Burnett Plastic Surgery is all about enhancing the contours of the buttocks via fat transfer. This means that the patient’s own fat is used to add natural looking volume to the area for a rounder, fuller look. BBL cosmetic surgery can improve your overall appearance in the long term, and all it requires is a donor area where fat cells are abundant.

WHAT IS BBL SURGERY?

BBL surgery, also known as Brazilian butt lift surgery or gluteal fat grafting, is a way of augmenting or improving the buttocks by removing fat from another area of the body. Fat is taken from areas such as the abdomen, hips, lower back, and thighs, where excess fat cells are typically plentiful. The goal is to move the fat in order to sculpt rounder, softer, and more youthful buttocks.

HOW DOES 360 BBL SURGERY WORK?

Body contouring at Burnett Plastic Surgery is a combination of techniques commonly referred to as BBL, lipo 360 (circumferential liposuction), and/or tummy tuck surgery. BBL surgery is used in conjunction with Lipo360, which is a type of liposuction done on all sides of the midsection, including the abdomen, flanks, and back. BBL 360 surgery can give patients the sculpted, defined waistline they want in addition to fuller, more shapely buttocks.

WHAT HAPPENS BEFORE A BBL SURGERY PROCEDURE?

Before having BBL surgery, you will have a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Carlos Burnett so that he can talk to you about your goals and expectations, show you BBL before-and-after photos, and help you put together a plan. You must be at least over the age of 18 and have finished developing to be eligible for Brazilian butt lift surgery. Remember to choose a reputable provider like Dr. Burnett. Do not merely search for “BBL near me!”

WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE BBL SURGERY PROCEDURE?

Patients will be put under general anesthesia for BBL surgery. Liposuction is used to remove fat from key areas. Dr. Burnett will make a small incision so he can butt lift surgery, then purify it. After incisions are made in specific areas of the buttocks and hips, the fat is injected with care to create ideal curves and symmetry. For some patients, most of the fat will be injected into the upper area of the buttocks.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BBL SURGERY?

Once you have recovered from BBL surgery, your buttocks will be rounder, have more projection, and feature a more symmetrical appearance. BBL surgery can help you achieve a more hourglass-shaped figure with a more prominent buttocks and a smaller waist, since your hips will also be addressed. Some patients have this surgery done to boost volume, while others come in with a goal to enhance the shape of their buttocks. If a patient wants an even more pronounced buttocks after their initial surgery, they can consider having a second Brazilian butt lift procedure. This is what’s referred to as a “Second Round BBL.”

IS PLUS-SIZE BBL SURGERY POSSIBLE?

A BBL surgery can be a good idea for someone who is within 15 pounds of their ideal body weight. If you are very overweight, this procedure may not be recommended, since there is an increased risk of complications.

CAN YOU GET A BBL WITHOUT SURGERY?

Although there are some techniques available that claim to provide a BBL with no surgery, the results will be far less dramatic and have a shorter duration when compared to cosmetic surgery. If want significant results but have questions about anything from surgery side effects to BBL prices, we can get you answers to guide you to the decision that makes you most comfortable. Dr. Burnett can also explain why he does not offer Sculptra^® for the buttocks.

MEN’S BBL SURGERY: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Can men get BBL surgery? Although Brazilian butt lifts are popular among women, there is also a male equivalent to BBL surgery that can make the buttocks appear stronger, squarer, and more defined. The goals of BBL surgery for men are different compared to those of a BBL for women. Dr. Burnett is experienced in working with men to determine their ultimate aesthetic goals and using specific strategies in order to deliver those results.

WHAT ARE SOME BODY CONTOURING OPTIONS BEYOND BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT SURGERY?

BBL surgery is one option for enhancing your body shape (and there are even variations, like skinny BBL), but there are other forms of cosmetic surgery available as well. For those hoping to sculpt a flatter, more toned stomach, a tummy tuck can be ideal as it removes stretched, sagging skin and resistant fat while also repairing muscles. Liposuction can also be performed on its own to remove fat from specific areas and sculpt a slimmer, more balanced body shape. Various types of breast surgery—including breast augmentation, breast lift, and breast reduction—help to improve the size and shape of the breasts, if this is one of your areas of concern.
