Who doesn’t want a perky, voluminous butt? It’s a goal for many, and with the rise in popularity of Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBLs), achieving that dream butt has become more accessible than ever. But not all BBLs are created equal, especially for women with a lower BMI. Tailoring approaches for different body types is crucial to getting the best results. Let’s talk about how you can make your butt perky and add volume if you’re considering pursuing surgery.
Understanding the Anatomy of the Buttocks
Your buttocks are primarily made up of three muscles: the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus. These muscles play a significant role in shaping your butt and giving it that lifted look. The distribution of fat and the elasticity of your skin also play crucial roles in how your butt looks. More fat in the right places and good skin elasticity can give a fuller, more youthful appearance.
Several factors contribute to achieving that perfect butt, including genetics, age, and lifestyle. Exercise and diet can also make a significant difference, but sometimes, genetics need a little help, and that’s where BBLs come in.
What is a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?
A Brazilian Butt Lift is a cosmetic procedure that involves liposuction to remove fat from other areas of your body, like your abdomen or thighs, and then injecting that fat into your buttocks. This not only enhances the shape and size of your butt but also contours the donor areas for an overall improved figure.
BBLs offer several advantages over other buttock enhancement procedures. Since the fat used is your own, there’s a lower risk of rejection or complications. Plus, the results look and feel more natural compared to implants.
While BBL can work for many, it’s particularly effective for women with a lower BMI who might struggle with having enough fat for traditional fat transfer procedures. A personalized approach is key to success. Country Club BBL™, our exclusive procedure tailored for patients with a low BMI (under 24) who seek a natural, athletic appearance of the buttocks. This innovative technique, akin to a “Skinny BBL,” focuses on sculpting and shaping the buttocks with minimal emphasis on adding volume to the hips. For those who want more hips, a hip augmentation may be added and performed at the same time.
Tailoring BBLs for Individuals with a Lower BMI
Performing a BBL on women with lower BMI comes with unique challenges. The primary issue is the limited amount of fat available for transfer. This requires more precise techniques and sometimes fat harvesting from multiple areas.
Our surgeons use advanced liposuction techniques to ensure enough fat is collected. This may involve taking smaller amounts of fat from multiple donor sites to accumulate the required volume for the buttocks.
A personalized approach is crucial for achieving natural-looking results. Each patient’s body is different, and customizing the procedure ensures the best outcome in terms of both appearance and safety.
