The Brazilian Butt Lift, known as BBL, is a plastic surgery procedure which is getting more and more popular. It consists in transferring fat from selected parts of the body such as the hips, thighs or stomach to the buttocks.

The Brazilian butt lift is for people who want to get rid of fat from other parts of the body, shape them, and at the same time enlarge their buttocks and give them a rounder shape.

A BBL surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The operation is done in two stages. The first is liposuction, which involves collecting fat cells from different parts of the body, such as the hips, abdomen or thighs. It is extremely important that fat cells are cleansed and damaged as little as possible. The second step is the surgeon’s transfer of adipose tissue to specific areas in order to achieve the desired effect of a fuller and rounder buttocks. The surgeon makes three to five incisions around the buttocks to transfer the fat.

Meditravel offers a free online consultation with a physician specializing in BBL operations. In order to make it, it is enough to send 4 photos of the silhouette: front, back and both profiles, via the form available below on the website. During the consultation, the doctor assesses whether the procedure is possible, and from which parts of the body fat cells will be collected.

During convalescence, special care should be taken. You cannot sit on your buttocks for 6 weeks after the operation. During this time, you should sleep on your side or stomach until your buttocks have healed completely. The gluteal area may be swollen and sore.
