What is Lipo 360 and BBL
Lipo 360 and BBl (liposuction 360 and Brazilian Butt Lift) is one of the fastest-growing cosmetic surgery body sculpting procedures to reshape the body and buttock by combining liposuction and fat grafting. Lipo 360 and BBL became a highly desired buttock augmentation procedure due to the many admirers of celebrities like JLo (Jennifer Lopez), Beyonce, Kylie Jenner, and Kim Kardashian.
The Brazilian Butt lift procedure involves Fat Transfer also known as Fat Grafting, and fat has the richest supply of stem cells in the body. This high quality of stem cells is perfect for Butt Augmentation which consists of two steps: Liposuction (Fat Harvest and injections or Transferring the fat into the Buttocks).
What to Expect During the Lipo 360 and BBL Procedure
For a BBL with Lipo 360, the fat is liposuction for the areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, hip, sacral area, saddlebags, wrist, and upper back to create an aesthetically pleasing shape and contour of the body, liposuction 360. The 360 degrees of the liposuction of the body is artistically done to sculpt an hourglass figure with a wrist that is at least one-third smaller than the hips, the golden hip to waist ratio. Creating a snatched waist and enhancing the buttocks and the hips, lipo360 and BBl can greatly transform the bodily contours of both men and women.
Using an aspiration device with a small cannula in lipo 360, the fat is harvested or taken from the areas where it is not wanted: the waist, saddlebags, thighs, back, or the abdomen, and placed exactly where desired in the buttock, hips, and thighs to create an artistic shaped and contoured BBl. In males, the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is associated most often with liposuction of the abdomen, flank, and chest which is followed by fat grafting to the buttocks. The objective in our men’s BBL and lipo is to create a well-defined chest and abdomen with a masculine contoured buttock, buns of steel look.
Does the Procedure Require Anesthesia?
The Brazilian Butt Augmentation or Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure can be done under local tumescent anesthesia with under IV Sedation (twilight anesthesia) or general anesthesia Tumescent anesthesia with IV sedation greatly decreases postoperative nausea and makes much easier recovery than with general anesthesia. Following a BBl and lipo 360 with tumescent anesthesia with twilight sedation, patients are very comfortable without pain and only mild soreness which is best addressed with Tylenol if needed. They can go to work the 2-3 days, and the gym in just 2 weeks.
Lipo 360 and BBL vs. Silicone Implants
How is BBL with lipo better than buttocks (silicone) implants:
- Buttocks augmentation using implants is associated with nearly 30-40% complication rate vs with less than 1% complication rate with (BBL) Fat Transfer when fat is placed in the superficial fat layer and not intramuscular.
- Sub-muscular buttocks implants can result in severe postoperative pain vs soreness in BBL
Infections are quite common in Buttock Lift implants and not in BBL.
Silicone buttocks implants may shift over time causing shape distortion of the buttocks and discomfort, and the fat does shift in BBL. - Silicone Butt implant limits walk or run for months, with BBL and lipo 360 routine activities can be resumed in one week.
- BBL Fat Transfer is not an option in an individual with insufficient fat, then butt implants come an alternative or NON-SURGICAL BBL using Sculptra
