I'm considering getting a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). My husband prefers a more prominent buttocks, but he doesn't want the result to feel stiff or hard. He believes that BBLs tend to look unnatural and rigid post-operation. Can you explain why BBL results often appear firm and hard? Are they soft to the touch after the procedure? Do they have a natural bounce?
Hello, and thank you for your question. Immediately after surgery, the buttocks may feel firm as part of the healing process. However, as time passes (around 6 months to 1 year), the area will become soft. In a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), fat is transferred to the buttocks, which contributes to the softness. Unless you engage in heavy weightlifting, your buttocks should maintain a soft feel after the procedure. I recommend consulting with a board-certified physician for a personalized consultation. Best of luck to you!
When performed correctly, the texture of the tissues should not change following the procedure. However, if the procedure isn't carried out correctly and results in clinically significant fat necrosis, the texture may become firm and lumpy. The key in this, and indeed in all cosmetic surgical procedures, is to find a highly skilled provider. It's important to get an accurate assessment and a clear understanding of what can and can't be achieved. Achieve this by scheduling multiple face-to-face consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons who have extensive experience and a strong reputation in this procedure. Each patient should make the decision to undergo surgery based on their own desires, not the desires of their spouse. Medical decisions, including the decision to have surgery, are personal and should be influenced solely by the patient and their caregiver. It's beneficial to have the support of your spouse, and a caring spouse would naturally be concerned about your well-being. For a thorough assessment and a better understanding of the procedure, I recommend having multiple in-person consultations. The outcomes of these procedures can vary significantly depending on the provider, so anyone interested in a BBL needs to diligently seek out the most experienced provider in their area. During in-person consultations, ask each provider to show their full collection of before and after pictures, including pictures of less desirable outcomes. Read all the reviews on various physician review websites and avoid providers with any significant number of justified negative reviews. The absence of justified negative reviews is more important and more revealing than an abundance of positive reviews. Best,
