BBL NYC | Brazilian Butt Lift New York

Both men and women have become interested in changing the size and shape of their behinds.

Procedures designed to improve the cosmetic appearance of the buttocks are growing tremendously in demand. In fact, Brazilian Butt lift is now among the most requested plastic surgery procedures. There are probably many reasons for the increased interest including curvaceous celebrities and body images all over social media.

What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

Brazilian Butt Lift procedure is a body contouring procedure that enlarges and changes the shape of the butt and hips using your own fat.  The procedure uses liposuction to remove the unwanted fat from areas like the abdomen, flanks, and back, and then injects it into the butt and hips to create a rounder, fuller backside and hips. 

Brazilian butt lift procedure is often referred to as buttock augmentation or butt augmentation with fat grafting. This means that it is basically two procedures in one:

  • Liposuction of unwanted fat
  • Fat transfer to the butt and/or hips

During a traditional Brazilian butt lift surgery, liposuction is performed to remove body fat from a part of the body where it’s not wanted, such as the abdomen, thighs, lower back, flanks, or bra-roll area of the back. Fat can be removed from virtually anywhere there is excess, The natural fat is processed to isolate the healthiest and most viable fat cells. Those fat cells are then injected into specific areas of the buttocks and hips to add volume and create more curves.

Meet Dr. Schulman – NYC Plastic Surgeon

“You want a Brazilian Butt Lift and you are at the right place.  I have been doing this procedure since 2007, long before anyone knew it even existed, and have performed more BBLs than most surgeons in the world. 

My Brazilian butt lift techniques have been featured in dozens of national television stories, have been the subject of international documentaries, and I have been invited to speak to my colleagues about my techniques at international cosmetic plastic surgery conferences.

I look at this procedure as a powerful way to reshape the entire body, not just make the butt or hips bigger.  Meticulous lipo is combined with injected fat to reshape the entire body.

Butt Lift Recovery 

Recovery from a BBL enhancement can take several weeks and it’s important to follow the surgeon’s instructions to ensure proper healing and avoid complications.

Here are some general guidelines for Brazilian Butt Lift recovery:

  • Compression Garment: Dr. Schulman your NY BBL surgeon,  has created a well established garment protocol and we can help you understand how to wear this garment during your BBL recovery.
  • Rest: It’s helpful to take at least 10 days off school or work to ensure that they can focus on BBL recovery.
  • Pain Management: Pain is normal after Brazilian butt lift and can be controlled through oral medication.
  • Avoiding Physical Activities: Your physical activity will be restricted immediately after surgery but you should find yourself doing more after about a week or two. 
  • Diet: It’s important to maintain a healthy diet and stay hydrated to aid in the healing process.
  • Bruising and Swelling: Bruising and swelling around the incisions are common after a BBL procedure and will usually subside after a few weeks. However, you can help reduce swelling by applying cold compresses to the affected area of your body.

Butt Implants: What you Should Know

While buttocks implants may be adequate in some cases to increase volume, they simply make things bigger and do little to improve the overall shape and contour of the buttocks.

Because there is no liposuction, buttock implants cannot change the shape of the buttocks and surrounding areas in the way a Brazilian Butt Lift can. Buttocks implants are also unable to change the shape or increase the size of the hips. Buttocks implants also carry a risk of infection and shifting.

That’s why for most patients, Dr. Schulman recommends Brazilian Butt Lift using his SCOOP Lift® technique. In addition to more natural-looking results, Brazilian butt lifts tend to provide permanent results. The fat cells used in the procedure will develop their own blood supply and will remain a part of the buttocks.

Brazilian Butt Lift NYC Cost

A range of factors will ultimately influence your cost. After all, no two surgeries are ever exactly alike, and not every patient wants the same results. Here are just a few of the factors that will be considered when assessing your BBL cost:

  • Number of Donor Sites: Schulman will need to determine where fat should be “harvested” from your body. Naturally, you will have some input, but the vast majority of patients will opt to have fat taken from their abdomen. Still, depending on the individual’s body type and desired results, fat may also be taken from other areas like the flanks, upper arms, or similar. The number of donor sites and the extent of liposuction performed will both factor into your BBL cost NYC as well.
  • Surgeon Experience: The more experience, training, and expertise a surgeon has, the more they will typically charge for their services. It costs more to know you are receiving the best possible care and attention during surgery. Not only will you feel safer, but you can also expect superior results.
  • Type of Anesthesia: The cost of anesthesia and the various techniques required for different types of anesthesia will also influence the overall cost of your surgery. Nearly all BBLs are performed with general anesthesia.
  • Surgical Location: While the average BBL costs around $5,000 or more (according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons), the Brazilian butt lift cost has to offer will almost certainly be higher. This is simply because location influences the overall cost of any medical procedure, including Brazilian butt lifts. If the cost of living is higher in a given area, the cost of surgery in that area will be similarly priced.

If you are considering a BBL and have questions about the cost of surgery, it’s best to start by booking a consultation appointment with Dr. Schulman. Once we have some details about your desired results and overall health, we can better provide you with details about cost.

If I am too skinny for a BBL, should I gain weight?

Dr. Schulman strongly opposes weight gain simply to create excess fat. If you are thin, and gain weight simply to qualify for skinny BBL, or give you more fat to work with, your results will likely not be long-lasting. If you subsequently lose weight and get back to your original weight, you will end up losing the fat that you previously gained and your butt and hips will shrink.

What is Petite Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure?

A Petite Brazilian Butt Lift in NYC is a variation of the traditional Brazilian Butt Lift procedure that is customized for individuals with a smaller body frame. It involves the use of liposuction to remove unwanted fat from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, and thighs, and then transferring that fat to the buttocks to enhance their shape and size.

Is it safe to do tummy tuck and BBL at the same time?

The primary reason we advise against combining tuck Brazilian butt is the challenging recovery period. Both procedures are major and may take 3 to 4 hours individually. Consider this before making any decisions.

What’s the BBL recovery time?

BBL Recovery patients need to take about 10 days off work or school, but individual cases may vary. For instance, BBL Recovery patients who had a great deal of liposuction will probably experience a longer recovery due to the pain and bruising from higher volume liposuction.

Dr. Schulman and our staff will advise you on the specific steps you need to take to ensure a good recovery. Remember that it can take several months to see the final results of your procedure since you will be swollen from the liposuction and the fat cells need time to “take hold” in their new location. Final results could take up to a year, but you won’t be out of commission that long.

What are the possible BBL side effects?

The most common butt lift Brazilian side effects include bruising, swelling, lumps, and asymmetry, but these are usually temporary and subtle. Dr. Schulman’s SCOOP LiftⓇ procedure is designed to transplant only the healthiest fat cells, but it’s not uncommon for transplanted cells to die, which is known as fat necrosis. This can create hard lumps in the transplant areas, but this is not common and lumps are usually small and not visible after the procedure.

What happens if I gain weight or become pregnant after a BBL?

Weight gain, including from pregnancy, may alter your results because the transplanted fat will act like regular fat and grow with weight gain.

What is a Brazilian Butt Lift 360 Lipo?

A Brazilian Butt Lift 360 Lipo is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves using lipo 360 to remove unwanted fat from multiple areas of the body, such as the abdomen, flanks, back, and thighs, and then transferring that fat to the buttocks to enhance their size and shape.
