Few weeks ago, news broke that a lot of Nigerian celebrity babes are now embracing the latest Butt enlargement technique called the Brazilian Butt Lift and investigations reveal that some high profile medical Spas in the country are making good money from this facile butt lift technique owing to the huge patronage they have recorded over time. A session costs approximately N2 to N8m depending on the number of areas that fat will be liposuctioned from your body and also the size of fat to be injected to the cheeks of the buttocks.
The larger the quantity of fat, the more expensive the process. Unlike the butt implant surgery which involves the placement of artificial implants either over or under the muscle to enhance the size and shape of the buttocks, it is believed that the Brazilian butt lift is a safer technique especially since you will be working with your own fat and not an artificial implant but the safety of the process is subject to the professionalism of the surgeon.
According to a certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Ricardo L Rodriguez’s review about the process, the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a type of butt augmentation procedure which results in youthful, prominent, perky buttocks and a more sensual body profile. The surgical procedure uses your own fat, so it is the most natural way to augment your buttocks. Ladies who go for Brazilian Butt Lift are those who have flat buttocks, sagging buttocks, asymmetrical buttocks, small (disproportionate) buttocks, change of the buttock’s shape following massive weight loss.
The Brazilian Butt Lift technique varies dramatically among plastic surgeons and the technique that your surgeon uses will affect not only your surgical result, but will also influence how long your results last. The technique involves fat extraction with liposuction, processing of the fat and micro reinjection of fat droplets. Fat extraction is performed by liposuction. Fat processing involves decanting and centrifugation.
The final step is the process of fat injection back into the buttocks. The process of fat reinjection involves hundreds of injections. The procedure is designed to fill the upper quadrant of your buttocks so that the butt appears lifted and perky. During fat extraction, the buttock is first contoured in the areas around the buttocks to make them stand out more. Common areas liposuctioned that is areas where fat is usually extracted for the process include the back (directly above the buttocks), the stomach, and the thighs. Note that even the liposuction alone will give your lower body a more attractive look. After the fat is lipsuctioned, then the Fat Processing takes place.
The fat suctioned from these areas is carefully processed and purified by decanting and centrifugation. Only a fraction of the donor fat removed will qualify for re-injection to the buttocks. In most cases, not more than 25% of the fat cells extracted will be qualified for re-injection. Only the best donor fat cells are re-injected back into your buttocks for augmentation. In order to get enough qualified fat, more than one area of the body is usually liposuctioned. After the fat processing, it is Re-Injection of Fat into the Buttocks, in subcutaneous region. The fat is placed or transferred to the buttocks in hundreds of injections with special cannulas.
The buttocks can also be augmented with butt implants (instead of using your own fat). However, it is believed the Brazilian Butt Lift technique is far superior to implants and have lower complication rate. However, there are some procedures that must be observed before the Brazilian Butt lift process and they include: no smoking, you have to quit smoking 4 weeks prior to surgery. Smoking adversely affects your ability to heal and recover, Stop taking aspirin products 1 week prior to surgery to minimize blood loss during surgery, History and Physical (H&P) and a CBC blood test are minimum requirements for a healthy adult.
If you have on-going medical issues, you must be cleared for surgery by your primary care physician. The evening prior to surgery, you must have nothing to eat or drink after midnight, you must have a Pregnancy test the morning of surgery (administered at Surgery Centre) and lastly, Your BMI (Body Mass Index) must be less than 35 kg/m2. This is calculated based on your height and weight.
And after the surgery, some post-operative instructions is crucial for ensuring fat cell survival and they include: bed rest and drink lots of fluids for the first week, no sitting directly on your buttocks for three weeks, no driving for three weeks, minimum 2 weeks off from work , if you do not have to sit in the third week, follow up office appointment at post-operative day 6-8,wear compression garment for 24 hours/day for the first 2 weeks but most importantly, you must not sit directly on your buttocks for up to three weeks.
This allows the best take of the fat graft in your buttocks and ensures the most long lasting result. If you do not follow these instructions, you may lose some of the fat graft! You must wear a special compression garment (to control swelling) for two weeks. There may be a small amount of swelling for up to 6 weeks.
However, you should be able to resume all normal activities at 4 weeks after the surgery .As with any surgery; there are risks and complications associated with the Brazilian butt lift. There are less risks associated when using your own fat to augment your buttocks over using implants to augment your buttocks but some possible complications include, but are not limited to: swelling and bruising, numbness and pain, fat embolism, stretch marks and hematoma: partial loss of fat graft due to not following post-surgery instructions.
In some cases, the fat get lost when you lose weight but if the fat is harvested, processed, and injected correctly, the result should be long lasting. The procedure should not require touch ups or a second round of fat injections. According to Dr. Rodriguez, fat injections are permanent when done correctly and The Brazilian butt lift result is highly dependent upon the experience of the surgeon. Surgeons who are not using correct purification or injection methods will not obtain long lasting results.
The total cost of the Brazilian Butt Lift depends on how many areas are liposuctioned. The more fat removed, the more enhancements you will see as a result. The 3 areas of liposuction is the most popular, but some people have a generous enough fat distribution in abdomen and flanks, such that 2 areas of liposuction are more than adequate but the least amount is $10,000 (N5m)
