Brazilian Butt Lift Wilmette, IL | Dr. Mark L. Zukowski, MD

Understanding Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery

The shape of buttocks is primarily determined by genetics, with factors like age, weight loss, and childbirth contributing to changes in body contour. A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a minimally-invasive procedure designed to enhance buttock projection and create a more defined lower body silhouette.

What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

A Brazilian Butt Lift is a fat transfer procedure that involves harvesting fat from other body areas and strategically injecting it into the buttocks and hips. This technique provides a natural-looking enhancement by using the patient's own tissue, simultaneously contouring donor areas like the abdomen, flanks, and back.

Ideal Candidates for BBL

• Individuals with no significant health conditions
• Patients with stubborn fat deposits in abdomen, flanks, or back
• Non-smokers or those willing to quit smoking
• Patients seeking feminine body proportions
• Those with adequate fat stores for transfer

BBL Procedure Details

During surgery, Dr. Zukowski uses advanced liposuction techniques to harvest and purify fat. The fat is then carefully injected into strategic areas of the buttocks to create enhanced projection, volume, and a more balanced body shape.

Brazilian Butt Lift vs. Butt Implants

• BBL uses natural fat transfer
• Allows simultaneous body contouring
• Minimally invasive procedure
• Lower surgical risks
• Natural-looking and feeling results

Benefits and Considerations

A Brazilian Butt Lift offers numerous advantages, including improved body proportions, enhanced curves, and increased confidence. However, patients should understand that approximately 35% of transferred fat may be reabsorbed by the body, and maintaining a stable weight is crucial for long-lasting results.

Long-Term Results

Brazilian Butt Lift results can persist for many years, with transferred fat cells retaining their memory and location. Significant weight fluctuations can impact the procedure's outcome, so maintaining a consistent weight is recommended.
