The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is one of the most popular body contouring procedures, offering a powerful way to reshape your entire lower body. Unlike procedures that use implants or remove skin, the BBL uses your own natural fat to enhance the size, shape, and projection of your buttocks.

At The Plastics Atelier in Omaha, we specialize in performing a SAFE BBL using advanced fat grafting techniques under ultrasound guidance to create curves that are natural, sensual, and in beautiful proportion with your overall figure.

The Dual Benefit of BBL

The power of the Brazilian Butt Lift lies in its dual approach, achieving significant enhancement through complementary contouring:

1. Part 1: Comprehensive Liposuction: Fat is permanently removed from areas where it is unwanted, such as the abdomen, flanks ("love handles"), and back. This simultaneous contouring is critical, as it slims the waist and accentuates the projection of the buttocks.

2. Part 2: Gluteal Fat Transfer: The purified fat cells are strategically injected into the various layers of the buttocks to create projection, improve the curvature from the waist, and enhance volume in the areas where it is most desired.

Achieving Your Ideal Shape

A successful BBL is about more than just size—it's about artistic reshaping. Dr. Hall focuses on three dimensional sculpting to address key aesthetic goals:

• Projection: Adding volume to the central buttock for a rounder look.

• Hip Dips Correction: Filling the indentations (depressions) on the sides of the hips for a smoother, more continuous curve.

• Waist-to-Hip Ratio: Maximizing the hourglass silhouette by slimming the flanks and enhancing the hip line.

• Upper Pole Fullness: Ensuring a natural, lifted appearance at the transition point between the lower back and the buttocks.

The Fat Grafting Process

The BBL is performed as an outpatient procedure:

1. Harvesting: Fat is gently removed via small cannulas inserted through minimal, discreet incisions in the donor areas (e.g., abdomen, flanks, back).

2. Purification: The harvested fat is meticulously processed to separate viable, healthy fat cells from fluids and non-fat tissues.

3. Grafting: The purified fat is injected into the buttocks using small cannulas under ultrasound guidance to ensure it is done safely. The fat is placed in micro-aliquots throughout the tissue to ensure maximum survival and a smooth, natural result.

Recovery and Long-Term Results

The most critical aspect of BBL recovery is protecting the transferred fat cells:

• Sitting Restrictions: You must strictly avoid direct pressure on the buttocks for approximately 4 weeks. You will be instructed to use a specialized BBL pillow or lie on your stomach/sides. Direct sitting pressure can compromise blood flow and lead to the loss of the transferred fat cells.

• Initial Swelling: Swelling in the donor areas and the buttocks is significant and will gradually subside over several weeks.

• Final Result: A portion of the transferred fat (approximately 25%) will not survive the transfer process. The final, stable results are usually assessed around 6 months post-procedure, once all swelling has resolved and the surviving fat has established its new blood supply.

We invite you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Hall at The Plastics Atelier in Omaha, Nebraska, to determine if you are a suitable candidate and discuss how a Brazilian Butt Lift can create the stunning body contours you desire.
