You may be uncertain about which buttocks augmentation to get. Brazilian butt lifts (BBLs) or buttocks implants are the two most common options. Let’s walk you through the difference between the two and why your doctor may suggest one over the other.
Brazilian Butt Lifts
BBLs utilize your body’s fat, usually from the waist and abdomen, and redistribute it to your buttocks.
Not only can this enhance the appearance of your buttocks by adding size to the area, but it can further accentuate the curves by making the waist thinner and the stomach flatter, depending on where the fat was harvested.
A BBL can be a great option considering the low risk of allergic reactions. Since the fat utilized is yours, your body will not likely have an allergic reaction.
BBLs require extensive training in order for the results to be aesthetically pleasing and long-lasting. If not done properly with adequate planning, the skin may sag, or the fat transfer may not ‘take,’ where the fat cells transferred die.
You should consult with a doctor to understand how a BBL can be performed with you and your fat stores. In some instances, if you have limited fat, a BBL may not be for you.
Buttocks Implants
If you do not have enough fat for a BBL or if you are looking for a more permanent solution, buttocks implants may be for you. Under supervision and performed by a trained, experienced doctor, buttocks implants can also offer a natural-looking buttocks enhancement.
Unlike BBLs, there are greater risks of allergic reactions due to the insertion of implants. While recovery time is similar to a BBL, lasting typically two to three months, buttocks implants may result in swelling that prevents you from seeing your final results for three to six months.
