A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the buttocks’ size and shape using autologous fat transfer. When this procedure is performed on individuals considered medically plus-size, it presents unique considerations for both the surgeon and the patient. Outcomes may vary depending on individual factors like body mass index (BMI), fat distribution, skin elasticity, and overall health.
Achieving aesthetically pleasing and medically safe outcomes in these cases requires careful patient selection, meticulous surgical technique, and realistic expectations. The potential benefits encompass improved body proportions, enhanced self-confidence, and a more positive body image. Historically, such procedures were less common in this patient population due to technical limitations and safety concerns. Advancements in surgical techniques and a greater understanding of fat grafting have expanded the applicability of this procedure.
