Brazilian Butt Lift

Conveniently located to serve Washington DC, Arlington, Bethesda

A BBL (Brazilian butt lift) in Washington DC is a transformative body contouring procedure. Performed at District Plastic Surgery by Dr. Praful Ramineni and Dr. Cassie Nghiem, this advanced technique enhances the shape and fullness of your buttocks using your body’s own fat, ensuring natural-looking and long-lasting results.

How Does a Brazilian Butt Lift Work?

During a BBL, fat is harvested from another area of the body, such as the:

  • Abdomen
  • Flanks
  • Back
  • Bra line
  • Thighs
  • Arms

The adipose (fat) tissue is processed and then injected into the buttocks. This strategy is used to shape the area, increase size, and create an hourglass figure. 

Good Candidates for a Brazilian Butt Lift

If you are healthy with firm, elastic skin and enough extra fat available for transfer, you may be a good candidate for a BBL. It’s essential to have realistic expectations and carefully follow pre- and post-operative instructions to achieve optimal results.

What Happens During BBL Surgery?

Fat tissue is most often harvested using the Lipo 360 technique to create the desired hourglass shape and enhance the natural “negative space” around the buttocks. Once the adipose tissue is removed, it is processed to ensure purity and viability. The processed fat is then meticulously injected into the buttocks and/or hip area to achieve the desired shape and volume.

At District Plastic Surgery, the fat is injected above the muscle, following the guidelines of the American Society of Plastic Surgery. Dr. Ramineni and Dr. Nghiem’s expertise as trained reconstructive surgeons ensures the highest level of precision and safety at all times during the procedure.

BBL Recovery

Recovery after a BBL is similar to that of liposuction. Most patients return to work within 1-2 weeks and resume gym activities in 3-4 weeks. To optimize results and reduce swelling, compression garments must be worn for at least one month after surgery. Patients should avoid sitting, except for toileting, during the first two weeks but can gradually increase their sitting time after that.

Benefits of a Brazilian Butt Lift

  • Enhanced buttock shape and size
  • Improved overall body contours
  • Natural-looking results
  • No need for implants
  • Long-lasting enhancement

How Much Does a Brazilian Butt Lift Cost?

The cost of a Brazilian butt lift depends on several factors, including the extent of liposuction required, number of injections needed, and specific goals of the procedure. Prices may vary; a consultation is the best way to determine the exact cost of your treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I prepare for a BBL?

Preparation includes maintaining a healthy lifestyle, avoiding smoking, and following specific pre-operative instructions provided during your consultation. These steps help ensure a smooth procedure and recovery.

How long do Brazilian butt lift results last?

Results are long-lasting, but some volume loss can occur due to swelling and fat reabsorption by the body. This percentage varies by patient and, in some instances, may necessitate a second-stage BBL.

Can the BBL be used to treat asymmetry and contour issues of the buttocks?

We will try to correct any preexisting asymmetry and buttock indentations. However, patients with cellulite will likely still have some present after BBL surgery.
