Who is a Candidate for BBL?

A Brazilian butt lift can give you a perkier or heart-shaped bottom. Ideal candidates for a Brazilian butt lift in Los Angeles are in good health and have enough fat in other areas of their body to achieve fuller, rounder buttocks.

People with small, flat, sagging, or uneven buttocks, as well as those who have lost firmness and roundness after significant weight loss, may also benefit from this procedure.

Sculpting Stunning Figures

At Athēnix, we focus on sculpting and contouring the body without the long recovery and downtime of traditional plastic surgery or liposuction. We specialize in meeting the needs of both men and women in the Los Angeles area and strive to create a peaceful and welcoming environment for all our patients.

How it Works

The Brazilian butt lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure. At Athēnix, our surgeons can customize a treatment to fit your unique body, removing extra fat from the thighs, back, or other specific areas and using natural body material to boost the size and roundness of your buttocks for a lifted look. The procedure involves a three-part process.

Harvesting

Our surgeons use VASER® Liposuction, which uses ultrasound waves and thin tubes to gently and selectively remove fat cells from the body's soft tissue. This method is safer, less invasive, and has a smoother appearance compared to older techniques. The fat cells are not damaged or destroyed during removal, making it an advanced liposuction process.

Purifying

Next, the extracted fat is purified through a decanting and centrifugation process. This purification process allows our surgeon to choose only the healthiest fat cells from your body for reinjection into the buttocks.

Injecting

Finally, your surgeon will inject the purified fat into different areas of your buttocks and hips at various depths, using multiple injections with small cannulas to enhance, reshape, and sculpt a round, prominent, curvaceous rear.

Why Choose Athēnix for a Brazilian Butt Lift in Los Angeles?

At Athēnix, we focus on sculpting and contouring the body without the difficult recovery and long downtime of traditional plastic surgery or regular liposuction. We are committed to serving the needs of both men and women in the Los Angeles area and strive to create a peaceful and comfortable environment for all our patients.

Your BBL Recovery Roadmap

After a Brazilian butt lift, you can expect a recovery period of around two weeks. You may experience mild soreness during this time, but severe pain is not likely. It's recommended to avoid sitting for about two weeks after the surgery and to sleep on your stomach to help heal. You should start walking on the day of the surgery to lower the risk of complications and improve circulation, and wearing a compression garment for six weeks after the procedure is essential.

Everlasting Results

Most people who have a Brazilian butt lift can expect to keep a significant amount of the transplanted fat volume in their buttocks permanently. While the body may absorb some of the transferred fat over time, the fat that remains after about six months is considered permanent. The transplanted fat in this procedure acts like natural fat in the body. Any changes in size can be expected due to weight fluctuations, similar to the rest of the body.

Brazilian Butt Lift FAQ

What is the difference between a Brazilian butt lift and butt implants?

How long can the BBL results last?

Are there complications with a Brazilian Butt Lift?

When will I be able to sit comfortably after my BBL procedure?

Is there scarring after a Brazilian Butt Lift?

What is the difference between a Brazilian butt lift and butt implants?

The Brazilian butt lift shapes the buttocks using the patient's own fat, while implants are used for people who don't have excess fat or want a quick, significant change. The butt lift may be preferred because it uses the patient's natural fat.

How long can the BBL results last?

The results of a Brazilian Butt Lift can last as long as the patient maintains a healthy and active lifestyle while keeping a stable weight. Following aftercare guidelines can help preserve up to 85% of the injected fat for a lifetime.

Are there complications with a Brazilian Butt Lift?

Complications are rare. Our doctors are highly experienced and use the most advanced and safest procedures. Any complications that do occur are usually minor and temporary.

When will I be able to sit comfortably after my BBL procedure?

After the procedure, it's best to wait two to four weeks before resuming normal sitting and to use a special pillow to protect the fat transplant. Planning to minimize prolonged sitting during the month following the procedure can help achieve the best recovery results.

Is there scarring after a Brazilian Butt Lift?

The amount of scarring depends on the amount of fat that needs to be harvested, but usually, scars are less than one centimeter and become barely noticeable after healing. Following the recovery plan recommended by medical professionals should lead to a smooth, natural appearance without noticeable scars.
