The BBL Procedure

Surgeons have their own specific ways of performing BBL. However, there is a common procedure that every surgeon must use. Here are the steps.

1. Before the beginning of the procedure, the doctor confirms with the patient the area they want liposuction to be performed.
2. The patient is then placed under anesthesia. However, if the surgery involves transferring a small amount of fats, you may only need medication to help numb the place. You may have to take a medication to prevent feeling nauseated since anesthesia may make you feel sick.
3. The doctor will perform liposuction on the marked places like the thighs, stomach, and hips to remove the fat. The surgeon will inject an IV fluid that contains lidocaine and adrenaline to ensure proper separation of fats and reduce bleeding. This fluid also ensures you have a less painful recovery. A tube is then used to remove the fat.
4. Once the fat is removed, it is separated from the solution and taken to the lab for purification to make it ready for injection.
5. The procedure completes by the surgeon injecting the fat into the buttocks on specific areas for fuller and rounder buttocks. Mostly, the professional will make about three incisions to inject the fat.
6. After injecting the fats, the doctor will then need to close the incision and liposuction areas then wrap the affected area with a cloth to reduce bleeding and infection.

BBL has a longer downtime where the patent might take about ten days to rest and go back to their normal life. The cut places may take about three weeks and about four weeks before you feel normal. During this time, expect some bruising and swelling so you can use a BBL pillow to help lessen the pain on the buttocks while healing.

BBL Benefits

Even though many people say that BBL is surrounded by a lot of risks, it has its good side too. Here are the benefits.

1. Some procedures require the placing of silicone on the butts. On the other hand, a BBL provides a natural solution for a round backside. There are no artificial additives n this procedure.
2. A BBL has a low risk of infection compared to silicone implants. It is safer when done properly compared to other procedures.
3. BBL is used to address various problems like shapelessness or sagging of buttocks that occur with age or genes.
4. A BBL is a permanent solution to a small or sagging backside. As people get pregnant or age, their body shapes change, and their skin loosens. BBL helps retain the voluminous shape of their butts by offering a permanent solution.
