Brazilian Butt Lift AugmentationDallas

Buttock augmentation, also known as the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure, has several options to consider when choosing, and some patients may not be candidates for all variations. Dr. Raj, Plastic Surgeon Dallas, guides his patients along each step, from the initial consultation through the procedure and into recovery.

What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

The Brazilian Butt Lift is a procedure designed to increase the volume and alter the shape of a person’s buttocks. Body contouring is an added side benefit to this procedure when fat cells are harvested via liposuction to supply the material for the procedure.

This procedure carries a high degree of patient satisfaction with the outcomes and is frequently paired with a breast augmentation as part of a Mommy Makeover. Buttocks augmentation, as with any kind of surgery, has risks and complications, so it’s a good idea to ask questions.

Who Is a Candidate for Buttocks Augmentation?

Patients who have excess fat cells but do not have loose skin are good candidates for a Brazilian butt lift in Dallas with Dr. Raja Mohan. As with all procedures, tobacco use and lifestyle choices may impact outcomes and recovery. Consult your doctor about potential complications.

Brazilian Butt Lift Options and Variations

Fat Transfer

There are two major variants when it comes to buttocks augmentation, and it comes down to a choice of materials. Most successful Brazilian Butt-Lift surgeries are conducted using fat harvested from other areas of the patient’s body via liposuction, including the underarms, stomach, back, and thighs. This fat is specially prepared to be injected into the buttocks to add shape and volume.

Gluteal Implants

Alternatively, in cases where a patient lacks the requisite body fat to be harvested, a physician may choose to use a shaped implant for gluteal augmentation. This procedure is becoming more and more uncommon as fat harvesting and grafting techniques become more advanced.

Dr. Raj's Recommendation

Dr. Raj feels that the best Brazilian butt lift results are achieved using the natural body fat approach. Manufactured gluteal implants can help some patients achieve a desired effect, but the risks and potential for bad outcomes are greatly increased with a physical implant.

Your Consultation

During the initial Brazilian butt lift consultation, patients will discuss their goals and ideal outcomes through frank discussion. Patients are always encouraged to bring photos to their consultation to help better communicate their desires.

Dr. Raj will measure and do an analysis of the patient’s skin elasticity and body fat to ensure that they are a good candidate for the procedure. He will discuss potential complications and bad outcomes, and make sure that the patient is comfortable with the reality of their situation going forward.

BBL Cost Dallas

It’s not uncommon for patients to have one particularly pressing question when they come into our office for their BBL consultation appointment regarding cost.

We certainly understand the reasoning for this. After all, if the cost is prohibitive to begin with for a patient, it may not be worth pursuing any further. However, it’s also important to note that the cost of a BBL in Dallas can vary drastically.

Numerous factors will ultimately influence the price, and these must be discussed in detail before a finalized cost can be delivered.

The Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure

Generally, Dr. Raj will perform liposuction on the patient and harvest their fat for injection while the patient is under general anesthesia. The prepared fat is then injected into the buttocks according to the unique surgical plan that Dr. Raj and the patient developed. This procedure can take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity.

Before the Procedure

The patient may be required to undergo a complete physician’s examination before undergoing a surgical procedure. Dr. Raj will inform patients who require additional examination as to the steps they should take. Tobacco users are encouraged to abstain from tobacco use during the weeks leading up to their surgery and through recovery.

The Day of the Procedure

Patients will arrive at the designated surgical center and be oriented by Dr. Raj’s staff. Dr. Raj will meet with the patient to discuss any last-minute questions or concerns, and then he will make markings on the patient to map out the liposuction and injections. Wound care protocols and aftercare protocols will be reviewed, and the patient will then be placed under general anesthesia for the procedure.

Limitations, Risks, and Possible Complications

The risks and limitations of gluteal augmentation are manifold, stemming from the combination of Liposuction with the surgical fat graft or implantation. In addition to the standard risks associated with any surgical procedure, such as complications of liposuction, anesthesia, bleeding, and infection, patients should be aware that there can be:

Bruising
Stretch marks
Cardiac and pulmonary complications
Blood clots
Fat embolism (fat is injected into the bloodstream and travels to the lungs)
Excessive blood loss
Deep vein thrombosis
Necrosis of fat or surrounding tissue

Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery

After this surgery, swelling and bruising may persist for several weeks. Patients will be taught about incision care, and it is recommended that patients wear a compression garment and take precautions to offload pressure from the buttocks while healing, as pressure on the buttocks can lead to loss of the fat graft.

Most patients return to work within one to two weeks and are comfortable with returning to social engagements after a couple of weeks. Patients are allowed to resume their normal exercise regimen 6 weeks after the procedure once the wounds have sufficiently healed and swelling has decreased. This allows the fat that is transferred to have the best chance of survival.

Factors Influencing Brazilian Butt Lift Cost

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) estimates that a buttock augmentation with fat grafting will cost around $4,807. This is the average cost in the United States according to statistics gathered by the ASPS from 2020. Of course, the Brazilian buttock lift cost Dallas residents typically pay may vary from this. For example, the cost of living in Dallas is higher than in many other places throughout the nation, and this will translate to an increase in the cost of any surgery performed there, including Brazilian butt lift surgery. Here are some other factors that will influence the cost of your BBL in Dallas.

Extent of Liposuction

The first stage of Brazilian butt lift surgery involves removing excess fat via liposuction. If fat will be removed from many areas of the body (versus just one), this will increase the final cost.

Surgeon Experience

A surgeon who is highly trained and skillful at performing Brazilian butt lifts will charge more for their expertise and experience. Of course, for the patient, this will ultimately be a good thing and will result in optimal results.

Additional Charges

Finally, the location of your surgery (a surgeon’s in-office operating room, hospital, or designated surgical facility) will affect the cost, as will the fees charged by your anesthesiologist and the cost of other things like pre-surgery tests, postoperative recovery garments, and medications.

Brazilian Butt Lift Augmentation Frequently Asked Questions

How much fat transfer survives after the procedure?

It is really hard to say because it depends on each patient, but approximately 50-80% survives. It takes about one year to see the final results. Any weight fluctuations can affect the result or amount taken.

I heard I have to sit in a special position after the procedure?

A patient should not sit directly on the buttocks after the procedure for 6 weeks. Otherwise, there is a risk of loss of fat graft. We recommend that patients sleep on their side. In addition, most patients should buy a special pillow to offload pressure from the buttocks while sitting.

When will I see my result?

There will be swelling and bruising immediately after the procedure, so it takes a minimum of three months to see the final result and contour.

I heard the procedure is dangerous. Is that true?

The procedure is performed quite commonly in the US, and it is a very safe procedure as long as proper techniques are followed. Dr. Raj was involved in many important studies aimed at determining the safest approach for a Brazilian Butt Lift.

What do I do if I do not have enough fat for a butt lift?

We recommend that patients not gain weight in order to obtain more fat for a butt lift. It is best to perform the lift with whatever fat is available. And if there is not enough available, one option is to place implants.

How much fat is put into each buttock?

This really depends on how much volume is needed. On average, 300-1000cc is injected into each buttock.

Is the procedure only for women?

No, there are many men who are interested in undergoing augmentation. It is a procedure for both genders.
