Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a comprehensive procedure that enhances buttock aesthetics while removing unwanted fat from areas like the abdomen, flanks, and thighs. It improves overall body contour, narrows the waistline, and enhances the waist-to-hip ratio. This complex surgery requires extensive technical and anatomical expertise to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Despite its reputation for risk, particularly regarding fat grafting into the buttocks, BBL can be performed safely with proper training, technique, and pre/post-operative care. Recent guidelines from respected international societies like ISAPS, ASPS, PSF, The Aesthetic Society, and ASERF aim to optimize BBL safety.
Key guidelines include:
- Surgeon Qualifications: BBL should only be performed by surgeons with appropriate privileges in licensed facilities. At the Ogeeplast clinic, our surgeons operate in both university and private hospitals that meet all safety requirements and follow strict protocols.
- Ultrasound Guidance: Real-time ultrasound imaging is strongly recommended during fat injection to ensure placement above the gluteal muscle fascia, avoiding deep blood vessels. Our surgeons use this technology for 100% certainty in fat placement.
- Comprehensive Patient Care: Surgeons should establish strong doctor-patient relationships, providing thorough pre- and post-operative care, including management of potential complications. This applies to both local and traveling patients. The surgeons at Ogeeplast Clinic conduct detailed consultations and provide clear protocols for all patients.
- Ethical Practice: Critical aspects of BBL, including fat harvesting and injection, should only be performed by trained surgeons, not assistants. Our surgeons have undergone intensive specialized training and have performed over 500 surgeries. They continuously update their skills through regular conference attendance.
By adhering to these guidelines and maintaining a high level of expertise, we can offer BBL surgery in a controlled, safe, and highly specialized setting.
