Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) Merrillville, IN | Demetrios Katsaros, MD

Understanding Brazilian Butt Lift: Fat Transfer Procedure

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is an advanced body contouring procedure that strategically transfers fat from one area of the body to enhance buttock volume and shape. For patients with sufficient fat deposits around the thighs, flanks, and back, this technique offers a natural alternative to buttock implants.

BBL Procedure Details

During a typical BBL, 350cc-500cc of fat is transferred to each buttock, totaling 700cc-1,000cc. The fat is carefully harvested through liposuction from areas including the flanks, thighs, abdomen, or back. Patients requiring liposuction beyond 1,000cc may incur additional charges.

Ideal Candidate Characteristics

The best candidate for a Brazilian Fat Transfer is an individual who:

• Is neither underweight nor overweight
• Has fat distributed in sub-optimal body locations
• Seeks to improve body contour and proportions

Health Benefits of Strategic Fat Repositioning

Fat location significantly impacts physiological health. Transferring fat from abdominal areas to the buttocks can:

• Reduce heart workload
• Decrease vascular resistance
• Improve spinal posture
• Maintain essential body fat reserves

Fat Transfer vs. Buttock Implants

While buttock implants create more projection, fat transfer offers unique advantages. The procedure allows for more nuanced contouring, can fill cellulite dimples, and simultaneously removes unwanted fat from other body areas.

Comprehensive Body Contouring Approach

The BBL procedure exemplifies a holistic approach to body sculpting, focusing not just on aesthetic enhancement but also on overall physiological health and body composition.
