Brazilian Butt Lift Huntington, NY | Vandegrift Plastic Surgery

Understanding Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a sophisticated body contouring procedure designed to enhance buttock volume and shape using a patient's own fat transfer. This innovative surgical technique allows individuals to achieve a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing silhouette.

Procedure Overview

The BBL procedure involves two primary steps: fat extraction through liposuction and strategic fat grafting into the buttocks. Dr. Vandegrift carefully removes fat from targeted areas like hips or waist, processes it, and then precisely reinjects the purified fat to create natural-looking enhancement.

Key Benefits

• Natural-looking buttock enhancement
• No risk of implant-related complications
• Simultaneous body contouring through liposuction
• Long-lasting results

Surgical Process and Recovery

The Brazilian Butt Lift typically takes approximately two hours under general anesthesia. Patients must follow specific post-operative guidelines, including avoiding sitting directly on the buttocks for two weeks to ensure optimal fat cell survival and integration.

Recovery Expectations

Patients can expect temporary swelling and bruising, with full results becoming apparent over several months. Most individuals can return to work within two weeks, with complete recovery taking six to eight weeks.

Ideal Candidates

Suitable candidates for a Brazilian Butt Lift include individuals with adequate fat reserves who desire enhanced buttock volume and improved body proportions. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Vandegrift determines individual candidacy and potential outcomes.

Maintaining Results

Maintaining a stable weight is crucial for preserving Brazilian Butt Lift results. Transferred fat cells will respond similarly to existing fat cells, expanding or shrinking with weight fluctuations.
