Liposuction, commonly referred to as lipo, involves the removal of excess fat with a surgical vacuum from small incisions. The fat can be extracted from various parts of the body. The fat is stored in body parts such as the belly, arms, buttocks, thighs, and chin, which causes unwanted body contours. 

Thin tubes called cannulas with a diameter of 4-5 mm will be inserted into the fat tissue between muscle tissue and skin tissue. The cannula is attracted to a surgical Liposuction pump, which collects fat without damaging any tissue in the process.

Yes, the result can be permanent. However, there are two important factors you need to keep in mind. First, after BBL surgery, you need to protect your buttocks from pressure during a 2-month long aftercare period. This stage is crucial for preserving the transferred fat. Then, by having a healthy diet and exercising, you will maintain that firm look.

Sitting down may be a little uncomfortable for a couple of weeks after your procedure. But you can use a special cushion as recommended by the doctor. You will wear a compression garment, which is designed to minimize swelling and keep your improved butt intact.

Butt augmentation is performed with solid silicone implants in case the patient lacks sufficient donor fat for BBL. Butt augmentation often carries greater risks, longer downtimes, and scarring. 

On the other hand, a Brazilian butt lift involves extracting fat via liposuction from a donor area. The fat is then injected into the body’s rear end, forming a more rounded, fuller, and feminine aesthetic. BBL not only lifts butts, but it also results in slimming and sculpting the donor areas.
