In body aesthetics, Liposuction and Brazilian butt lift (BBL) aesthetics are among the most popular and trending plastic surgery operations worldwide. Liposuction works very effectively to suction away stubborn fat pockets to improve body contours, while BBL makes use of fat grafting to further enhance the buttocks. More than ever, women are approaching their 40s and 50s looking for comprehensive body contouring, and liposuction and BBL treatments are proven safe and effective options. Additionally, societal trends show that ‘bigger’ and ‘fuller’ buttocks and figures have been popular in recent years. Yet the importance of combining these fat contouring procedures has been relatively unappreciated until recently. Drawing pictures of how these procedures synergize with each other permits real visualization of what balances and proportions truly need. This paper presents the individual cases that show how improving a specific part of the body will expose the discrepancies in other surrounding regions. Furthermore, a discussion on how combining liposuction and BBL is a safer and more efficient method utilizing advanced components and modern techniques will show how it has gained popularity in recent years.
Aesthetic ideals have contributed to modified strategies and more comprehensive approaches when it comes to fat contouring of the body. We are creating a population of individuals who are experiencing cosmetic surgical treatments earlier in life. Instead of pairing back an excessively leading body part into the ideals of a societal trend, a more balanced approach to liposuction and BBL surgery is already more appropriate and is actually safer for the patient. Furthermore, we are also experiencing a secondary trend where a lipo and BBL combo can now be reserved for a later phase in life to maintain the best effects as an extension to a more traditional body lift approach. In this paper, three key patient concerns were identified that warranted trade-offs in targeting specific body areas and/or combining surgical procedures.
The combined operation of liposuction and BBL usually involves performing liposuction and then using the collected fat to build and enhance the buttocks. First, liposuction is performed to remove fat from areas where you want to lose fat, such as the back, abdomen, waist, flanks, hips and thighs. This not only makes the aforementioned areas look slimmer and more toned, but if done properly, it can also help to aesthetically emphasize a more ideal and attractive buttock shape. The collected fat is then meticulously purified and processed so that only the best, healthiest and most viable fat grafts are prepared for buttock augmentation.
The true advancement with the Brazilian butt lift is that one can truly utilize the fat of their own body and strategically build up and improve the shape and size of their buttocks. In your consultation, your surgeon should identify and prioritize what the larger visible problem areas are, and those can typically be treated with liposuction. Then, there are often areas where fat just can’t be removed, or where the fat is removed, leaving a problem area or empty space nearby. Those are the areas where fat is meticulously placed, grafted, and integrated to enhance the shape of the buttocks. The length of the surgery and the type of anesthesia used will vary based on the extent of your areas of concern. The surgical team should have years of experience and top-notch surgical skills in liposuction fat transfer via Brazilian butt lift techniques.
Combining liposuction with Brazilian butt lift not only enhances the results of each procedure individually but also makes much of the outcome possible. Furthermore, benefits of liposuction with Brazilian butt lift operation combination are the lower costs, and the added convenience of shorter surgery time and one-time recovery.
Liposuction as an aid to BBL: the liposuction fat transfer provides the fat for the buttock and hip augmentation through BBL. Additionally, fat removed through liposuction can be purified, being of the highest quality, and therefore the most suitable for fat grafting. One needs quite a few milliliters for a buttock, and several areas for liposuction yield enough fat. Patients appreciate this, as well as this two-in-one situation.
Liposuction in certain areas can also improve the results of the Brazilian butt lift. Patients are much happier with their improved body contour. Liposuction offers the ability to sculpt certain areas of the body without having to undergo invasive surgery. Once the skin shrinks over several weeks to months, patients feel a little lighter. Fat removal can last in the given area unless a patient gains a large amount of weight. A change in a particular area of a patient’s body can help improve a patient’s overall appearance. Many happy patients will come back for a BBL after getting advice from a surgeon regarding liposuction for enhanced shape. A Brazilian butt lift creates a lifted, round, protruding buttock shape, along with a more hourglass hip-to-waist ratio, which can create the illusion of a smaller, more lifted, curvaceous backside. This combination provides an overall incredibly sexy, more youthful, rejuvenated silhouette that the patients are thrilled with.
Before deciding to undergo BBL with liposuction, it is crucial to have a consultation with a qualified surgeon. Medical history, medications, allergies, and personal physical and emotional health are all taken into consideration, as well as people seeking this procedure as a weight loss solution. There are risks and possible complications that come with being under general or IV sedation anesthesia, meaning that the safer a person is going into surgery, the safer they will be coming out of it. After surgery, there is always a risk of infection. To ensure low risk, it is important to listen to and adhere to post-op care instructions. Before going ahead, patients are advised to establish their ideal expectations. While the results of the procedure are appealing, it doesn’t offer identical results for every person. In addition, the patient also needs to understand the limitations. A patient wishing to have an excessive amount of fat removed may compromise their own safety.
The recovery process is generally safe, but more serious complications can occur, such as fat embolism, when fat is inadvertently injected into the blood vessel where it can break away and settle in the lungs, blocking blood flow to the organ. The “sitting period” after the recovery process should be taken very seriously because the grafted fat cells need to establish themselves, or the transplanted fat will not survive, resulting in lumpy, uneven results. Removing too much fat all at once as part of a lipo and BBL combo can have serious health consequences. During an extended, multi-site liposuction, more than five to six liters of fat are removed, there is a compromise in the body’s fluid balance, and an associated health risk.
In conclusion, the combination of BBL with liposuction can provide reshaping and localized fat reduction, while simultaneously giving the buttocks a fuller, rounded, and lifted appearance. It is considered the main course of this type of liposuction fat transfer procedure. The general perception is that it is a safe, reproducible, and predictable micro-fat grafting technique with reliable graft take rates. Natural-appearing and durable cosmetically pleasing outcomes that meet patients’ satisfaction can be obtained with the proper technique. With advancements in techniques and state-of-the-art technologies, an added safety profile, reduced procedure time, and ease of use add to the attraction of the procedure.
Aesthetic surgery continues to progress at a rapid pace. It continues to expand its horizons and introduce new, safer, and more effective treatments for common cosmetic concerns. The above brief overview of the efficient surgical tools available for liposuction with BBL is what is available today; no doubt that new, more powerful offerings will push older devices aside and perhaps reduce operative time as well. This is just the tip of the iceberg as further expansion will occur as the instruments are refined and more research is performed to guarantee efficacy and safety. Finally, the stigma associated with butt lift and liposuction has disappeared, with these aesthetic procedures becoming even more common in society. Rather than discussing them with friends at furtive tea parties, they openly indulge in the concept of surgical aesthetics and are proud of their postoperative selfies.
