How Can I Make My Butt Look Better?

Fortunately, with advances in plastic surgery and med spa techniques, individuals can attain the perfect butt they’ve always wanted. In fact, over 20,000 patients in the US opted for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) in 2020 alone. ^[1] Patients know there is only so much they can do to get a round, lifted, youthful butt, so they turn to skilled surgeons like Dr. Andan for solutions.

A BBL involves using liposuction to remove fat from other body parts and injecting it into the buttocks to create a fuller and more lifted appearance. It enhances the shape and size of the butt but also slims down other body areas to create a more balanced overall look. This can mean:

How Can Liposuction Give Me A Perfect Butt?

Liposuction 360 can help sculpt the contours of the body that further accentuate the perfect butt. The procedure involves removing excess fat from multiple areas around the body (360 degrees!) to create a more flattering figure, including the:

One of the areas that Liposuction 360 can be particularly effective for is the lower back and waist. Removing excess fat from these areas gives the buttocks a more lifted and defined appearance. Additionally, by removing fat from the hips and thighs, the overall shape of the buttocks can be enhanced.

When liposuction 360 is combined with a Brazilian Butt Lift or butt augmentation with fat transfer, the combination approach can help create a more symmetrical and proportionate look while addressing any underlying issues contributing to an uneven or asymmetrical figure.

Is Brazilian Butt Lift Safe in Manhattan, NYC?

In 2017, pulmonary fat embolism (PFE) became associated with BBL procedures, making it high-risk. A report created by a special task force recommended specific surgical techniques to reduce the risk of PFE. ^[2] Similarly, in the 1980s, when liposuction was first introduced in the United States, there were concerns regarding patient safety. A different task force was established to study liposuction and provide recommendations to address these concerns. Following the implementation of these recommendations, liposuction became a safer procedure. ^[3]

As a highly experienced cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Andan understands the importance of prioritizing patient safety and takes the recommendations of the ASERF Gluteal Task Force very seriously. He and his team at New York Surgical Arts are committed to using the latest techniques and safety protocols to minimize the risk of complications associated with BBL procedures, including PFE.

In addition to following recommended surgical techniques, Dr. Andan conducts thorough pre-operative screenings and evaluations to ensure that each patient is suitable for the procedure. This includes:

Dr. Andan employs meticulous techniques to ensure the fat is injected safely and precisely into the buttocks during the procedure. He uses specialized instruments and methods to avoid damaging blood vessels or causing trauma to the surrounding tissue, which can increase the risk of PFE and other complications.

After the procedure, Dr. Andan and his team closely monitor each patient’s recovery to ensure they are healing properly and that any potential complications are detected and addressed promptly.

When performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon like Dr. Andan, BBL procedures can be a safe and effective way to achieve the perfect butt. If you’re considering a BBL or other cosmetic procedure, contact New York Surgical Arts today to schedule a consultation and learn more about our commitment to patient safety and satisfaction.

Qualifications for BBL Surgery

While BBL surgery is popular, it is not recommended for everyone. Before going under the knife, you must meet with Dr. Andan so he can help you understand the ins and outs of the procedure.

Ideal candidates for BBL surgery are those who:

During the consultation appointment, Dr. Andan will assess your medical history. He may order blood tests or other diagnostic tests to assess your overall health and identify any underlying medical conditions that could increase the risk of complications. He may also consider factors such as your age and expectations for surgery.

Dr. Andan will also discuss the risks and benefits of BBL surgery and provide detailed instructions for preparing for the procedure; this may include guidelines for fasting before the surgery and avoiding certain medications and supplements to minimize the risk of complications.

BBL and the Mommy Makeover

You give your life to your children, and perhaps you gave up your curves after pregnancy. There is no shame in needing help to get back to your pre-baby body, and Dr. Andan is skilled at addressing the multi-location procedure, which often includes creating the perfect butt. Just because you’re a mom doesn’t mean you can’t look hot!

Brazilian Butt Lift has become a popular component of the mommy makeover. The mommy makeover typically includes a tummy tuck, breast lift or augmentation, and liposuction. Adding BBL to this package allows women to enhance their curves and achieve the desired hourglass figure. This procedure is preferred over traditional butt augmentation techniques because it uses the patient’s fat instead of implants, which reduces the risk of complications.

What is Recovery After BBL?

The recovery period after BBL varies depending on the individual patient and the procedure(s) extent. Patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort for several weeks following surgery and should avoid sitting directly on their buttocks for at least two weeks to allow for proper healing. Compression garments should also be worn to help minimize swelling and support the body during recovery.

You should be prepared to take time off work or other daily activities to allow for proper recovery and avoid any strenuous physical activity for several weeks following the surgery. Considering your ability to recover will mean asking for help from friends and family. Think about all of the things you do around the house each day:

Now imagine yourself resting and taking the necessary time off to recover. If you can take time off from work and have help around the house, you are set up for a successful and restful recovery. Talk to the important people in your life about how they might need to show up for you after surgery.

How Does Dr. Andan Achieve the Perfect Butt for His Patients?

Patients in NYC and Long Island insist on looking their best. They accept nothing less than perfection, but sometimes these goals are out of our control. This is where Dr. Andan excels. He creates the perfect butt through the following steps:

What are the Results of BBL?

After the fat transfer, the patient can see immediate results, although the final results may take a few months to develop fully. Not all of the fat transferred will survive, and the amount that does survive will depend on various factors, such as the patient’s overall health, the quality of the harvested fat, and Dr. Andan’s techniques. Studies have shown that about 30-40% of the transferred fat will not survive the transfer, so Dr. Andan will overfill the buttocks to accommodate. ^[4]

Patients can expect a butt they can flaunt in their favorite jeans (or a brand-new pair!), swimwear, or loungewear. Everything goes great with a great backside!
