Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the shape and size of the buttocks using the patient’s own fat. After fat is harvested, it is carefully processed and strategically injected into specific areas of the buttocks to create a fuller, natural-looking contour while improving overall body proportions.
The fat injection technique is a crucial aspect of the procedure, as it directly impacts both the aesthetic results and patient safety. The preparation of the harvested fat is equally decisive, as carefully filtering and purifying the fat ensures better viability and long-term survival of the transferred cells. Proper fat preparation increases the likelihood of achieving permanent, smooth, and symmetrical results.
To enhance safety, the use of an ultrasound probe during fat injection is highly recommended. This technology allows the surgeon to visualize underlying structures in real-time, ensuring that the fat is injected in safe planes and away from vital blood vessels, significantly reducing the risk of complications and ensuring a safer surgical experience.
