What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is one of the most popular and sophisticated cosmetic procedures for buttock enhancement. Unlike implants, this surgery uses the patient’s own fat to create a natural, balanced, and attractive shape.
At Dr. Akbari’s Aesthetic & Wellness Clinic in North Tehran (Farmanieh), this surgery is performed by Dr. Tahmasbi and Dr. Ahmadi, two highly experienced and reputable plastic surgeons, using advanced technologies and international safety standards.
Why Is the Brazilian Butt Lift So Popular?
Patients choose BBL over other methods because of its unique advantages:
- Natural Results – Since the procedure uses your own fat, the results look and feel more natural compared to butt implants.
- Body Contouring & Slimming – Excess fat is removed from areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, which makes these areas slimmer and more toned.
- Higher Safety Rate – Compared to butt implants, risks are lower, and recovery is faster.
- Dual Benefit – You achieve both liposuction-based fat removal and buttock enhancement in one procedure.
👉 According to a 2024 medical study, the mortality rate caused by fat embolism during BBL has decreased significantly to 1 in 15,000 cases when performed by skilled surgeons under proper safety protocols.
BBL vs. Other Butt Augmentation Procedures
| Feature | Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) | Butt Implants | Surgical Butt Lift |
|---|---|---|---|
| Uses Patient’s Fat | ✅ Yes | ❌ No | ❌ No |
| Large Incision Needed | ❌ No | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
| Natural Results | ✅ Yes | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
| Complication Risks | Medium | High | Low |
| Recovery Period | 10–14 days | 2–3 weeks | 2–3 weeks |
💡 Conclusion: BBL provides more natural outcomes, with fewer scars and a shorter downtime compared to implants.
Is BBL Safe?
Yes — when performed by a qualified plastic surgeon in a fully equipped clinic, BBL is considered much safer than implants.
- BBL: Fat is harvested from the patient’s body and injected into the buttocks. With correct injection techniques, the risk of fat embolism is very rare (≈ 1 in 15,000).
- Implants: Require large incisions, involve a foreign object, and have higher chances of severe infections or complications.
✅ Result: In reputable centers such as Dr. Akbari’s Clinic, BBL is both safer and more natural-looking than butt implants.
Who Is a Good Candidate for BBL?
You may be an ideal candidate if you:
- Have enough body fat in areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs.
- Prefer natural results instead of an exaggerated artificial look.
- Are in good overall health (no uncontrolled diabetes, blood clotting issues, or severe heart disease).
- Can follow post-surgery care instructions such as avoiding sitting on the buttocks for 2 weeks.
⚠️ Patients with very low body fat or serious health conditions may not qualify and should consult their surgeon.
Step-by-Step: BBL Surgery at Dr. Akbari’s Clinic
- Initial Consultation – Health evaluation, fat availability, and discussion of expectations.
- Pre-Op Preparation – Medical tests and instructions.
- Anesthesia – Local or general, depending on fat removal amount.
- Fat Harvesting – Liposuction of selected areas (abdomen, flanks, thighs).
- Fat Purification – Removing excess fluids and blood.
- Fat Injection – Transferring purified fat into multiple buttock layers.
- Closure & Bandaging – Minimal incisions, small sutures, and dressing.
Possible Risks and Side Effects
Like all surgeries, BBL carries potential risks, though most are temporary and manageable:
Common Side Effects
- Swelling and bruising (7–14 days)
- Mild pain or tenderness
- Temporary asymmetry due to fat absorption
- Skin discoloration or bruising
Rare but Serious Risks
- Fat Embolism (very rare when performed by experts)
- Severe Infection (minimized with antibiotics & hygiene)
- Fat Necrosis (localized hard lumps or irregularities)
👉 Choosing experienced surgeons such as Dr. Tahmasbi or Dr. Ahmadi significantly reduces these risks.
Recovery and Aftercare
For best results, patients should:
- Avoid sitting directly on buttocks for 2 weeks (use special BBL pillows).
- Sleep on your side or stomach.
- Take prescribed antibiotics and painkillers.
- Avoid heavy exercise for at least 4 weeks.
- Follow a protein-rich, healthy diet to support healing.
- Attend follow-up visits for monitoring.
Most patients return to normal activities within 10–14 days.
Longevity of Results
- About 60–80% of transferred fat cells survive permanently.
- Results are long-lasting but may slightly change with weight fluctuations or aging.
