Brazilian Butt Lift

A well-shaped backside is a common goal for both men and women, and the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) has become a popular option for those who can’t achieve their desired results through diet and exercise alone. Dr. Rolando Morales is widely known for his Brazilian Butt Lifts because he uses a natural approach that avoids the need for synthetic implants. A BBL with Dr. Morales is meticulously customized and sculpted to align with your body shape and aesthetic goals, ensuring natural and beautifully contoured buttocks.

What Is A Brazilian Butt Lift?

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a procedure that improves or augments the appearance of your buttocks for a rounder overall look. It also removes fat from other parts of your body with liposuction. The fat removed is used to add volume to your buttocks. Unlike a face lift or a back lift, a Brazilian Butt Lift does not improve an excess of sagging skin. The fat transfer procedure enhances your size and shape, giving you a fuller, curvier silhouette.

Beautiful Buttocks

A breast lift is necessary when there is significant sagging or drooping of the breasts, a condition known as ptosis. Here are some reasons why a lift might be necessary:

A BBL not only enhances your buttocks but also helps eliminate unwanted fat from areas like your stomach, thighs, hips, and love handles, giving you a more contoured figure overall.

By adding volume to your buttocks, a BBL can enhance your body’s proportions, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing silhouette, whether you're aiming for fuller curves or an hourglass shape.

The benefits of a BBL are noticeable almost immediately after the procedure, allowing you to enjoy your enhanced shape without a long wait.

Since a BBL uses your own fat, there’s minimal risk of an adverse reaction, making it a safer alternative to artificial fillers or implants.

BBLs provide a more organic appearance and feel compared to other augmentation options, giving you results that look and move naturally with your body.

What Is The BBL Procedure Like?

While learning about this procedure, patients of Dr. Morales are excited to hear about how long a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) lasts. Some cosmetic procedures require multiple sessions to achieve desired results, but the Brazilian Butt Lift only requires one surgery that can last for many years. The effectiveness of the BBL is due to the technique Dr. Morales uses, and his ability to customize the BBL procedure for your body.

Like most cosmetic procedures the Brazilian Butt Lift starts with anesthesia. Then Dr. Morales will begin extracting donor fat cells using liposuction. The “donor” fat he uses is typically collected from areas of your body that have some excess fat like the lower portion of the back, the hips or the area below the buttocks. If more fat is needed to be grafted back into the buttocks, other areas may be liposuctioned as well. 

Dr. Morales expertly injects the purified fat into the fatty tissue above the muscle of the buttocks and hips, using his extensive experience to sculpt a natural, aesthetically pleasing shape. If desired, a BBL can be combined with other procedures, like a tummy tuck or breast augmentation, which will extend the overall surgery time. After recovery, our BBL patients are eager to try on clothes to see their newly enhanced shape!

How Dr. Morales Enhances Your Results

To further enhance your results from a BBL, Dr. Morales has multiple treatments that he may use during the surgery to give you the stunning, sculpted appearance you desire.

Aveli is an innovative treatment specifically designed to reduce the appearance of cellulite. Cellulite occurs when fat deposits push through connective tissue beneath the skin, creating a dimpled or lumpy appearance, typically on the thighs and buttocks.

Aveli uses a precise, minimally invasive approach to target the structural causes of cellulite. During the procedure, a small, handheld device is inserted under the skin to sever the fibrous bands (septae) that pull the skin down, causing the dimpled appearance. By releasing these bands, Aveli smooths out the skin and reduces the visible signs of cellulite.

Patients can expect noticeable improvements in the appearance of cellulite with smoother, firmer skin in the treated areas. Results are typically long-lasting, as the treatment addresses the underlying structural issues causing cellulite. Recovery time is minimal, and patients can usually return to their normal activities within a few days.

Renuvion is a cutting-edge treatment that combines helium plasma and radiofrequency energy to tighten and rejuvenate the skin. This treatment is particularly effective for areas with loose or sagging skin, often a concern for women undergoing mommy makeovers.

Renuvion delivers controlled heat beneath the skin's surface, causing immediate contraction of collagen fibers and stimulating new collagen production. The combination of helium plasma and radiofrequency energy allows for precise and targeted treatment with minimal damage to surrounding tissues. This dual-energy approach enhances the skin's elasticity and firmness.

Patients typically see immediate skin tightening effects, with continued improvement over several months as new collagen forms. Renuvion can significantly enhance the overall results of a mommy makeover by addressing areas prone to skin laxity, like the abdomen, thighs, and arms. The treatment is minimally invasive, with a short recovery period and long-lasting results.

What Is The Recovery Like?

At Dr. Morales, we tell our patients that for most of them, the recovery is moderate. We encourage our BBL patients to fully participate in the healing process because this helps ensure optimal, lasting results. Following the recovery guidelines is the final step towards a fuller, well-shaped backside.

Am I A Good Candidate For A Butt Lift?

A good candidate is a healthy non-smoker who follows a healthy diet and exercise regimen. It is normal to have sagging below the buttocks, but the buttocks itself needs to be in good condition with good elasticity. Dr. Morales will be able to evaluate your skin to determine if the fat transfer and liposuction will deliver your desired results. Ideal candidates have sufficient fat that can be liposuctioned from areas like your back, abdomen, hips, thighs or flanks.

FAQS

During the recovery process, it is important for you to get up and move around several times a day. After surgery, you may often feel somewhat sore, tired, and stiff. Fluid drainage from the incisions, swelling, and mild bleeding are also common.

Every person recovers at their own pace. The recovery period depends on the number of procedures you have performed at the same time as your BBL. You may need to have fat removed from more than one area to collect enough fat for the look you desire to achieve. On average, patients return to work about a week after having fat harvested. Dr. Morales will give you more details in your follow-up appointments.

After a Brazilian butt lift, you'll notice an immediate change in the shape and size of your buttocks. However, these initial results will include some swelling. The final, more stable outcome generally becomes visible after about six months. This time allows the transferred fat cells to integrate into their new location and for any swelling or bruising to fully subside.

While there's no strict age limit for a Brazilian butt lift, it is recommended that patients be at least 18 years old and in good general health. Older adults should undergo a thorough medical evaluation with Dr. Morales to ensure they're suitable candidates for the surgery and can heal adequately afterward.

Driving is generally discouraged for at least one week after a Brazilian butt lift. Sitting directly on your newly enhanced buttocks can compromise the results, Dr. Morales recommends using a soft “booty pillow” for comfort.
