Brazilian Butt Lift

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a surgical enhancement procedure that adds better volume, shape, and projection to the buttocks. Achieving a curvaceous, natural-looking backside is easier than ever before.

During a BBL procedure, a surgeon harvests body fat from different areas around the body and distributes it around the buttocks via a series of simple injections. Social media influencers and prominent celebrities have boasted about their BBL results for years: now you can too! Improve on what mother nature gave you or what aging has done to your body and achieve your desired look with New York Surgical Arts. Headed by Dr. Gordon Andan, he and his helpful staff are here to enhance your look. See us for a consultation at our offices in New York City or Garden City, Long Island, to envision your new look. Or, you can reach us at (516) 888-5752 to speak with either office.

About

Achieving the perfect look for your bottom has become more accessible, comfortable, and safer than ever. ^[1] Statistics released by the American Society of Plastic Surgery in 2018 revealed fat grafting techniques (using patient’s own fat) such as Brazilian Butt Lift saw a 19 percent increase in the number of procedures performed than the previous year. ^[3] However, not all methods are created equal. Implants and injections each offer unique assets for enhancing the look of the butt. ^[3] But, their results and longevity are questionable at best. In the meantime, the Brazilian Butt Lift has revolutionized butt enhancements! The utilization of liposuction has provided a new way to add better contours for the body’s curvatures. By removing troublesome fat from targeted areas around the abdomen, thighs, and arms, Dr. Andan can suction, clean, and purify fatty tissue. The fat is then injected into the buttocks to enhance volume and shapeliness.

Benefits

Regardless of your reason for seeking a BBL, this procedure gives patients a curvaceous, fuller, and vibrant appearance for your bottom. Here’s what’s also in store:

Candidates

Healthy candidates looking to achieve a buxom bottom may be eligible for a BBL procedure. However, Dr. Andan’s patients must also:

• Have Unwanted Fat: Patients should have enough fat to transfer to the buttocks to achieve their ideal aesthetic. Slimmer patients may be asked to gain weight if they don’t have sufficient fat for fat transfer.
• Be at a Steady Weight: Weight changes may alter results, so it is imperative to maintain a consistent, healthy weight. Patients should be mindful that a BBL is not a weight loss program. Consider revisiting BBL surgery once your weight loss journey has been completed. 
• Be in Good Health: You should be free of any serious health conditions. Do not smoke for a few weeks before and throughout the recovery process. 
• Anticipate Realistic Results: A BBL has done wonders for patients’ self-confidence and appearance. However, having sensible expectations will go a long way. Dr. Andan and his staff will guide you through the process to ensure you receive ideal results. 

Our office is ready to enhance your look. So take the first step and schedule a consultation with Dr. Andan today!

After an examination and review of your medical history, Dr. Andan will ask about the areas of your body you wish to contour so we can identify the best donor areas for the fat grafting process. ^[3] Dr. Andan will use this information to develop a detailed treatment plan. Next, we’ll discuss how the procedure will provide added curvature and fullness to your buttocks. You’ll meet with the front desk staff to schedule your appointment and receive a list of pre-operative instructions. Be sure to follow these closely to ensure an optimal procedure with Dr. Andan.

Preparation

Preparing for your BBL treatment should be a stress-free process, but it does require a few steps to complete. Instructions may look different for each patient, but below is a general overview of how to prepare. They include:

Procedure

We’ll begin by administering the appropriate anesthesia for your comfort. Dr. Andan will then liposuction fat from the areas determined at your consultation using a small cannula. Thinner patients, in particular, often will have fat collected from the abdomen or inner thighs. Next, those fat cells are rinsed and refined so they can be safely reintroduced to your body. The purified fat is prepared in syringes that will then be used to inject the fat just under the skin of the buttocks. ^[3][4] Next, the injection sites are massaged to allow for even distribution to the area. Once Dr. Andan has achieved your ideal aesthetic, he will wrap the treated areas with a compression garment. In 2-3 hours, you’ll be able to leave our care and start your recovery safely at home. 

Recovery

There may be feelings of swelling, soreness, discomfort, and discoloration for the first three weeks after your BBL procedure. Take the medications prescribed to improve comfort. It is essential not to put unnecessary pressure on your bottom or other liposuctioned areas during recovery. For the next 2-3 weeks, rest on your side or stomach. After week three, you can sit down with the assistance of a donut pillow. After your procedure, we provide you with a compression garment to wear around the treated areas to help with swelling and upkeep results. Please wear this for the first few weeks. Low impact activities and light desk work can be resumed within three weeks; strenuous activities can be picked up in another 4-8 weeks. 

Results

Stunning Brazilian Butt Lift results will be noticed in the week ahead when swelling and bruising subsides. Once healed, you’ll see the full potential of your butt enhancement. New sleeker, sexier curves are yours to enjoy for years to come. Shopping for clothing will become easier and more enjoyable. And best of all, your self-confidence will reach new levels thanks in part to a rounder, perkier backside.
