Liposuction with Fat transfer (BBL) Improves Buttock Shape in Raleigh, NC*

Sometimes in fat transfer to the buttock (BBL)- it is not as important how much fat is transferred but where it is removed. This 36-year-old woman has always had a block -like appearance of her waist which made her buttock have no contour. She did not want a large buttock- just wanted better shape. She underwent liposuction of the abdomen and flanks and sacral area with power assisted liposuction and had some fat transferred to her buttock. The final result is a much more normal shapely buttock. Not necessarily larger. Brazilian Butt Lift involves liposuction often to the abdomen and flanks and back with careful injection of the fat into the buttock soft tissues. It is critical to avoid injections into the muscle as this can cause severe problems including death. In fact, in Florida there is a mandate to utilize ultrasound in assisting accurate location of the transferred fat. Dr. Glenn Lyle utilizes ultrasound guidance and performance of fat transfer. Not all of the fat that is grafted is retained and some degree of over grafting is necessary. Final results of BBL surgeries usually take about 3 months to see significant improvement and much of this is related to the swelling in the liposuction areas that comes down with compression garments and often massage techniques.
