V- SCULP (Brazilian Butt Lift)

A lifted, shapely buttock is a definite self-confidence booster. A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) or fat grafting to the buttocks is a surgical procedure to increase volume in your derrière. Not only can it give you a more youthful looking backside, but it can actually rejuvenate your entire torso since your buttocks work in harmony with your abdomen, breasts, thighs and flanks. As with all body contouring procedures, the goal of a BBL is to restore proper body proportion so that you can look natural and feel your best.

Kayo Daily Remodeling Serum

This multi-functional hydrating serum is instilled with Hyaluronic Acid and Copper Peptides to help enhance the appearance of skin. Skin is saturated with long-lasting deep hydration from Hyaluronic Acid and Kayo’s Omega Oil Blend, while skin is further layered with Kayo’s antioxidant rich Superfruit Blend, leaving skin energized and radiant. Founder's Notes: This body product was modeled after true high impact face serums, with the quintessential lighter feel and texture of a serum, perfect for layering based on your unique skin type and needs. Moisture is primarily delivered through Hyaluronic Acid (think deep water hydration) rather than topical oil hydration. This product can be used by itself for normal to oily skin, but is recommended under other Kayo products, such as The Body Beautiful Crème or Kayo's Cellular Repair Evening Oil for skin that needs deeper oil based hydration. When layering Kayo's body products use the same technique you would with face products - lighter products like serums first, heavier products like lotions and oils after.

Fat Grafting to the Buttocks Consultation

When considering any kind of aesthetic procedure, whether surgical or non-surgical, it is paramount that you first be assessed in person. During your in-office or virtual consultation at her Beverly Hills office, Dr. Nazarian will listen to what you would like to improve. She will ask about your medical history, family history, diet and exercise regime as well as any prior procedures that you may have had done. Then, she will perform a thorough physical examination to assess your:

areas of excess fat
concavity or volume loss in your buttocks
skin elasticity
body proportion
skin tone & texture
cellulite
stretch marks

Together, you will come up with the right treatment plan for your unique anatomy that will deliver on your goals. A BBL may be performed alone, but Dr. Nazarian may also combine it with another procedure such as breast surgery, V-Sculp Body Contouring or a Mommy Makeover.

Ideal Candidate for a BBL

A BBL is ideal for any patient, male or female, who is:

in good overall health
does not smoke
has some extra body fat in the abdomen, thighs or back, for example
is bothered by a lack of volume or dips in their backside and hips

Some patients are unfortunately born with flat buttocks. For others, however, their backside has lost volume due to:

age
pregnancy
weight gain/loss
menopause

Restoring buttock volume is a great way to look and feel more youthful. Besides being in good health, anyone who is considering fat grafting to the buttocks should be at a maintainable goal weight. Otherwise, if you lose weight after your surgery, your butt may deflate.

What is Fat Grafting to the Buttocks?

Fat grafting to the buttocks is one of those great 2-for-1 procedures. The first half involves liposuction. Dr. Nazarian will use the tumescent technique and Power Assisted Liposuction to safely remove excess areas of fat through a specialized cannula, which is a thin, metal tube, that vibrates rapidly back and forth. This vibration allows her to collect the necessary fat with less “manhandling” which results in a faster procedure with less post-operative bruising and swelling. If skin tightening is also needed, Dr. Nazarian will then perform BodyTite. The collected fat is then spun to remove any fluid. Dr. Nazarian takes this pure fat or “liquid gold”, and strategically injects it into your buttocks and hips in order to sculpt them into the right size and shape for your individual anatomy. Only about 70% of the injected fat cells will survive which is why Dr. Nazarian always overfills. This is why it’s so important to see a body contouring expert as a BBL is as much art as science. Fat can also be placed into the breasts during the same surgery so let Dr. Nazarian know if you would like to plump your breasts as well.

What’s the Recovery Like?

After your fat grafting to the buttocks procedure, you are going to be bruised and swollen in your derrière and any area where liposuction was performed. Being vigilant about wearing your compression garment will help with any post-operative discomfort in addition to ensuring that you heal well. The swelling may last anywhere from 4-6 weeks. The treated area might also appear reddish in color for the first 48 hours. Do not be concerned. This is normal. Patients typically take narcotics for the first 3 days and then switch to Tylenol by day 4. I want you to keep pressure off your bottom for the first 2 weeks. This is the best way to make sure that as much of the grafted fat cells live as possible. Try not to sit or put direct pressure on your buttocks for long periods of time, and don’t sleep on your back. Other than that, I don’t want you sitting in water during this time. After 4 weeks, I tend to lift all restrictions so that you are free to return to your daily routine.

BBL Procedure & Recovery

Your fat grafting to the buttocks procedure is performed under general anesthesia in an accredited surgery center as an outpatient procedure. If large areas of liposuction are being performed, we do require you that you go to an aftercare facility for 2-3 days so that you can be monitored under professional care. This makes the recovery process so much more enjoyable and safe. You can expect to be bruised and swollen after your BBL procedure. Most patients take some type of narcotic for the first 3 days but are typically on just Tylenol by day 4. Dr. Nazarian will place you in a compression garment. It looks a bit like Spanx with zippers and will help the areas where liposuction was performed to heal nice and flat and smooth.

For the first couple of weeks following your BBL procedure, it is best to limit the amount of pressure that you place on your buttocks. Try not to sit for more than 30 minutes to an hour at one time, and it’s best to sleep on your back or side for the first couple of weeks. If you are having a tummy tuck at the same time, shifting from one side to the other is recommended as you will not be able to sleep on your abdomen. Dr. Nazarian also recommends that her BBL patients get lymphatic massage starting at 2 weeks and continuing for two months. For best results, 2-3 lymphatic massage sessions per week is advised. We are happy to give you a list of our lymphatic masseuse recommendations.

You want to do everything possible to allow the newly grafted fat cells to breath and develop a healthy blood supply. Dr. Nazarian likes her fat grafting to the buttocks patients to stay out of water for 4 weeks to reduce any risk of infection. Once those first 4 weeks pass, however, all restrictions are lifted. You can return to your daily routine, but listen to your body and if something hurts, back off.
