BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT

This body contouring surgery is unique from other buttock procedures because it uses your own body fat to contour the derrière instead of a gluteal implant. The fat grafting or fat transfer (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/fat-grafting)method allows for less recovery time and ensures natural-looking results. The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is ideal for anyone unhappy with their buttock contour who has adequate fat stores to take from other areas. Many of our Manhattan patients want a BBL to address body changes from age, pregnancy, or weight loss.

New Look New Life (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/)is dedicated to providing patients with safe and effective cosmetic procedures to help them achieve their ideal look. By choosing us for your cosmetic surgery needs, you can feel confident that our board-certified cosmetic surgeons will not recommend surgery or treatment unless it is the absolute best way to reach your aesthetic goals. Dr. Claudia Kim (https://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.newlooknewlife.com/dr-claudia-kim)and our surgery team will do their best to fit your procedure seamlessly into your busy schedule, ensuring you have ample time to recover and show off your results for a big event or vacation.

Patients undergo Brazilian Butt Lift surgery to: • Increase the size and projection of their buttocks • Create a balanced, hourglass figure • Achieve slimmer contours in the donor areas (like the waist or abdomen) • Reduce sagging skin • Smooth out the appearance of cellulite • Fit better in clothing and swimwear • Feel more confident

You may be a candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift if you are unhappy with the size and shape of your butt. Candidates should be in good health, have realistic expectations of their results, and not smoke. Because a BBL relies on your own tissue, patients must also have enough excess fat on their bodies to safely harvest and inject into the buttocks.

A consultation is necessary to determine your specific needs for your Brazilian Butt Lift. During your consultation, Dr. Claudia Kim will review your medical history and perform a physical evaluation to determine if you are a candidate for the procedure. Once confirmed as a candidate, Dr. Claudia Kim will: • Discuss your goals for the procedure • Take photos • Explain your surgical options • Create a personalized surgical plan You will also receive an estimated financial plan based on your unique needs. If you are interested in combining your Brazilian Butt Lift with any other cosmetic procedure, that will be discussed during this time.

Since everyone has different needs and starting points, your Brazilian Butt Lift is highly customizable. You and Dr. Claudia Kim will determine your ideal donor sites and how much fat needs to be injected to achieve your desired curves.

Small incisions will be made at your donor sites to harvest the fat using gentle Liposuction (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/liposuction)techniques. Dr. Claudia Kim will strategically place these small incisions in inconspicuous areas so they are easily hidden.

Common donor sites for Brazilian Butt Lift surgery are the waist, hips, thighs, and abdomen. However, fat can also be taken from the back, arms, or chin depending on where you carry excess weight.

Many patients choose to combine their Brazilian Butt Lift with a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/tummy-tuck)to achieve a slimmer, more attractive abdomen. While liposuction techniques remove unwanted fat from the abdomen to inject into the buttocks, sagging skin will not be corrected with liposuction alone. A tummy tuck can eliminate excess skin from the abdomen to create a perfectly flat stomach that highlights your new curves.

To properly recover from your Brazilian Butt Lift, you will need to take the first week off from work and other responsibilities to focus on resting. However, you can resume light walking activities almost immediately for a faster recovery. A critical part of BBL recovery is avoiding sitting directly on your buttocks for a designated period to ensure the newly transferred fat survives. Please be sure to closely follow all post-operative instructions provided by Dr. Claudia Kim to minimize your risk of complications and maximize your results.

Your Brazilian Butt Lift will be performed under general anesthesia to keep you comfortable. Because of this, you will not feel any pain during surgery. Any soreness or discomfort felt during your recovery can be effectively managed with prescription or over-the-counter medication.

Since only small incisions are made in inconspicuous areas to insert the liposuction cannula, scars are minimal and will naturally fade over time.

The cost of your Brazilian Butt Lift procedure will depend on the amount of correction needed, the number of donor sites used, and the specific surgical techniques required. Generally, your cost will include surgeon fees, anesthesia fees, operating room fees, and required garments. A consultation with Dr. Claudia Kim will help you determine an accurate financial estimate. Visit our Pricing page (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/pricing)to learn more.

Before surgery, you should plan to take adequate time off work and other obligations to properly rest and recover. Please plan to bring a responsible adult with you to the surgical appointment, as you will be unable to drive yourself home. You will also need a specialized BBL pillow to help you sit without putting pressure on your newly augmented buttocks.

Results from your Brazilian Butt Lift surgery will be visible almost immediately! However, swelling and bruising will briefly affect the appearance of your results and may take a few weeks to subside. Your new curves will continue to improve and look more natural over the next few months as a small percentage of the fat is naturally absorbed by the body and the remaining fat permanently settles into place.

Your Brazilian Butt Lift will take anywhere between two and four hours to complete. This varies based on how much liposuction is required and how much enhancement is needed.

When performed by a highly experienced, board-certified cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Claudia Kim, BBL surgery is generally safe. However, risks are present with any surgical procedure. Possible Brazilian Butt Lift risks include bruising, swelling, blood clots, anesthesia risks, or fat embolism. Dr. Claudia Kim utilizes the safest, most up-to-date ultrasound-guided techniques to ensure fat is injected purely into the subcutaneous space (above the muscle) to eliminate the risk of severe complications.
