Body Buttock Enhancement: Case 9 (1316)

Description

This 51 year old black woman consulted us about body contour enhancement, using the common term BBL or "Brazilian built lift". She also wanted breast augmentation and liposuction of her abdomen, flanks and back (torso, circumferential liposuction or lipo 360). She was in excellent health, physically active and consumed a good diet. She was also at a stable and favorable weight and had good skin tone. We discussed the procedures, anticipated results, postop care and recovery, risks and possible complications. Buttock augmentation with fat transfer requires careful technique to place the fat within the subcutaneous space, and avoid placement within the gluteal muscles. Recovery from buttock augmentation requires the patient to avoid sitting for several weeks, and often takes some ingenuity using a standing computer desk and frequent walking breaks. She recovered very well, and maintained plenty of the grafted buttock fat giving her beautiful buttock shape. The liposuction curved her waist and the breast augmentation helped with an overall hour-glass shape. She was so pleased with her result she remarked that she looked better than girls 30 years younger!
