The Brazilian Butt Lift, commonly referred to as BBL, is a body sculpting procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of the buttocks and hips through fat grafting.
This procedure, also known as the Brazilian Butt Lift or the Soccer Butt for men, involves extracting excess fat from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, and back. The harvested fat is then strategically injected into the buttocks and hips to achieve a fuller, more rounded appearance. The Brazilian Butt Lift has rapidly gained popularity, making it one of the fastest-growing and most sought-after cosmetic surgeries today.
The final outcome of the procedure will be tailored to your individual goals. Whether you desire a fuller, more athletic butt or wish to achieve a more feminized silhouette, you will have the opportunity to discuss your expectations with Dr. Grandhige during your consultation. Together, you will develop a customized treatment plan to achieve your desired results.
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is, at its core, the same procedure regardless of the patient’s gender. It involves liposuction to harvest fat from specific areas of the body, which is then strategically injected to enhance the buttocks. While it might seem logical that a surgeon proficient in performing BBLs on women could seamlessly apply the same techniques to men, the reality is more complex.
There are distinct anatomical and aesthetic differences between male and female BBL procedures, such as:
A surgeon like Dr. Gopal Grandhige, who has expertise in male BBLs, understands these critical differences and can tailor the procedure to achieve optimal, natural-looking results for male patients.
Under the expertise of Dr. Gopal Grandhige, male BBL surgery can provide remarkable satisfaction and boost self-confidence for many patients. However, as with any surgical procedure, it may not be suitable for everyone, and the results can differ from person to person.
You may be an ideal candidate for male BBL if you meet the following qualifications:
“While it’s true that most Brazilian Butt Lifts are performed on women, I’ve had the privilege of performing thousands of BBL procedures since 2007, including hundreds on male patients. These range from men who’ve always felt their butt was too flat and want better support for their pants, to those who’ve experienced flattening with age or weight loss, and even men seeking a more feminine contour. Whatever your reason for considering a BBL and no matter the results you’re aiming for, I’m the surgeon who can help you achieve your goals. You deserve a Board-Certified Surgeon with expertise in Brazilian Butt Lift procedures.”
Getting ready for your Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) involves several important steps to ensure the best possible outcome. To start, it’s essential to be in good health and maintain a stable, healthy weight. You’ll need to schedule an appointment with your primary care physician for a comprehensive medical evaluation, including blood tests, to confirm you’re fit for surgery.
Our goal is to identify and address any underlying health conditions that could pose unnecessary risks during or after the procedure. It’s crucial to inform Dr. Gopal Grandhige about all the medications you’re currently taking. This will help determine if any of them might interfere with anesthesia or create potential complications during your surgery.
Be aware that certain prescription medications, over-the-counter supplements, and vitamins can increase swelling or elevate your risk of bleeding. Additionally, you must completely stop smoking or using any nicotine products, including e-cigarettes and vapes. Nicotine significantly raises the likelihood of surgical complications and can negatively impact the success of your fat transfer.
If you’re trying to decide between butt implants and a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), here’s what you need to know: A Brazilian Butt Lift uses fat grafting to enhance and shape your buttocks, giving them a fuller, rounder look. During the procedure, Dr. Gopal Grandhige removes fat from areas like your abdomen or thighs using liposuction, then strategically injects it into your buttocks.
When compared to butt implants, a Brazilian Butt Lift often delivers a more natural appearance and feel, along with a potentially lower risk of complications.
The results you achieve will vary based on your specific goals:
Performed by Dr. Gopal Grandhige, your desired look can be customized to fit your aesthetic preferences.
The total cost of the procedure can vary based on several key factors, such as:
Recovery after a male Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) typically ranges from two to six weeks. During this period, you’ll need to wear a specialized compression garment to support your newly contoured buttocks and reduce swelling. Consistent use of this garment is recommended for up to six weeks post-surgery.
Yes, the results of a BBL look and feel natural because the procedure uses your body’s own fat. Excess fat is harvested through liposuction from areas like the hips, waist, or thighs and then transferred to enhance the buttocks, giving a natural feel and appearance.
Liposuction can target virtually any area where you have unwanted fat. Common areas include the abdomen, flanks, and back, but it can also be performed on other parts of the body based on individual needs.
Since the procedure involves transferring your own fat cells, these cells establish a new blood supply in their new location. Approximately 30% of the transferred fat may not survive, which occurs in the first few weeks post-surgery without posing any health risks. The surviving fat cells are permanent as long as you maintain a stable weight. Significant weight gain can enlarge your buttocks and hips, while weight loss may cause these areas to shrink. Normal aging-related changes are expected over time, but the BBL results are designed to be long-lasting.
Absolutely. Heterosexual men can and do opt for BBL procedures. The desire to enhance body contours and boost self-confidence is universal, and BBL is a cosmetic option available to anyone aiming to achieve their aesthetic goals.
Post-procedure, you may experience bruising and swelling for several weeks. Most individuals can start gentle exercises around 3-4 weeks after surgery, gradually returning to their regular fitness routine over the following weeks.
Nicotine negatively affects newly transplanted fat cells. Smoking or using nicotine products like e-cigarettes or vapes can lead to a higher loss of these fat cells beyond the typical 30%. It’s recommended to stop all nicotine products at least 4 weeks before surgery and avoid them for 8 weeks after surgery to promote optimal results.
Male BBL procedures require specific anatomical considerations, including differences in bone structure and muscle distribution. Additionally, the aesthetic goals often vary, focusing on creating a more masculine or gender-neutral contour depending on the individual’s preferences.
Dr. Gopal Grandhige advises against gaining weight solely to increase fat for a BBL. Gaining weight for the procedure may not yield lasting results, as losing that weight afterward can cause the newly added fat in the buttocks and hips to diminish. It’s better to work with your existing body composition for the most stable outcomes.
