Our state-of-the-art medical spa supports brilliant and resplendent transformations in Long Beach, California. And when you feel better about your face and body, your renewed confidence and inward positivity shine through! Additionally, Resplendent Day Spa is proud to offer many natural alternatives that are safe and get predictable results. With our skill level, you won’t look like you have “had work done.” Likewise, you will still look like yourself, only better and more well-rested. Among these appealing services is the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure, an alternative to surgical interventions such as implants placed deep within the buttock tissues.
BBL may be appropriate for our patients who are dissatisfied with their backside’s size, fullness, shape, and other characteristics. Good candidates for the procedure are generally healthy and have realistic expectations about what BBL can do for them.
The procedure gets its name from the Brazilian plastic surgeon who pioneered it and is performed through several small injections. It is a two-fer method whereby fat is taken from an area (such as the flanks or thighs). Then, the processed or purified fat is applied as injections to areas of the butt that could use the augmentation. Due to this process, BBL is sometimes called a form of “fat transfer.”
Our professionals use a combination of wood therapy to break down pockets of fat and non-invasive vacuum therapy to first lift unwanted fat from one area, which can later be introduced or redistributed to a flat backside. Any reintroduced fat cells will also be “prepared” or purified for utmost safety. Since the fat used to volumize your butt is your own, the procedure is associated with minimal risks of adverse reactions. Synthetic tissues or devices, such as implants, are associated with the potential for your body to reject the external material or substance.
BBL and other butt augmentation procedures generally get instant results. Your butt should appear fuller and rounder immediately following the introduction of fat cells to sites across your buttocks. However, the full results from BBL can take several months to a year, as some of the initial volume fades over time. This effect occurs as around 20% to 40% of the transferred or grafted fat may be absorbed by your body. So, on average, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) reports that 6o% to 80% of fat is retained.
We will review all aspects of healing, recovery, and after-care with you so you can make appropriate arrangements. For around two weeks, it is essential to avoid pressure on the treated sites. For instance, sitting for a long time can damage the transferred fat.
Of course, every patient/client experience at Resplendent Day Spa is different. The biggest takeaway is to maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle. When you gain or lose significant weight, the fat distribution can alter again. We are here for you at every step in this journey to a restored or better body that you can be proud of, so reclaim your desirable wardrobe and positive self-image again!
