Brazilian Butt Lift
with DrBfixin in Long Island, NY
Beauty standards come in and out of fashion. In the last decade, one of the biggest beauty trends included round, voluminous buttocks. To achieve this, plastic surgeons began performing an existing, but less popular procedure, the Brazilian butt lift. Now, hundreds of thousands of people have enhanced their booties with a BBL. Dr. Scott Blyer, also known as the world-famous DrBfixin, provides the best Brazilian butt lift Long Island, NY offers.
DrBfixin is a co-chair of the BBL Safety Committee for the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery and he has lectured around the country about BBL safety, ultrasounds and BBLs, and the best BBL surgery techniques.
What Is A Brazilian Butt Lift?
A Brazilian butt lift surgery is a fat transfer procedure that takes fat from elsewhere on the body and transfers it into the buttocks. Common fat harvest areas include the abdomen, waist, back, flanks, and thighs. Though, this is customized to fit every patient’s needs and body. Dr. Blyer purifies the harvested far and injects it into the buttocks and hips.
The locations of the most fat transfer vary based on the patient’s anatomy and goals. However, the fat must be injected precisely to avoid an unnatural appearance. Dr. B will make the widest part of the hips at the level of the vagina and ensure the hips, butt, and thighs all blend well into a beautiful curve.
Buttock Augmentation Options
Body fat transfer is not the only way to augment the buttocks. It does remain the most popular among patients and surgeons, but there are occasions when Dr. B may recommend another approach.
As previously mentioned, removing fat and injecting it into the butt is the most popular way to get a larger and shapelier booty. Though, old techniques did cause some controversy and safety concerns. Since then, the protocol for performing BBL surgery in Long Island has made the procedure much safer. Fat grafting has also become a popular technique for enhancing other areas as well.
Before the advent of the Brazilian butt lift, butt implants were the only way to augment the buttocks. Unlike breast implants, these are firm, solid silicone implants. While rarely performed anymore because a BBL provides better results, in some patients who do not have enough fat for liposuction, Dr. B sometimes still places butt implants. Placement of butt implants involves larger scars and has higher infection rates, but when performed by an experienced surgeon and on a patient who is a good candidate, it can provide good results.
A non-surgical Brazilian butt lift uses injections of the dermal filler, Sculptra, to add volume to the buttocks. Sculptra also stimulates collagen production which can help add longer term volume. This procedure provides only temporary results. Patients need to have realistic expectations going into a non-surgical buttock augmentation. The results also tend to be subtler than fat transfer or implants.
5 Ways DrBFixin Makes BBLs Safer
A common concern among patients surrounds the safety of BBL surgery and specifically the risk of a fat embolism. The biggest risk of a Brazilian butt lift is a fat embolism which is where fat gets into the bloodstream and blocks it. While this condition is rare and not often serious, it has the potential to be harmful when related to a BBL.
Dr. Blyer understands his patient’s concerns and the contrasting fact that any cosmetic surgery (or surgery in general) does carry some inherent risk. To address these concerns he created a five-step educational protocol that makes BBL surgery in Long Island safer.
#1: Use A Blunt, Wide Cannula
A cannula is used to both remove and transfer the fat during a BBL Long Island. When transferring the fat, Dr. B uses a blunt and large cannula. The bluntness prevents the cannula from entering a blood vessel and moves it out of the way. Additionally, the larger the cannula, the less chance there is of it penetrating small structures like blood vessels.
#2: Inject Parallel To Operating Table
Positioning the cannula parallel to the operating table keeps the cannula and transferred fat within the right plane. The layers it is safe to inject into are above the muscle, but below the skin. Too superficially placed under the skin and it may look lumpy and natural. Placed within the muscle, it can cause a fat embolism. Thus, keeping the cannula straight and parallel prevents it from moving up or down into areas where it should not be.
#3: Use A Blunt, Wide Cannula
A cannula is used to both remove and transfer the fat during a BBL Long Island. When transferring the fat, Dr. B uses a blunt and large cannula. The bluntness prevents the cannula from entering a blood vessel and moves it out of the way. Additionally, the larger the cannula, the less chance there is of it penetrating small structures like blood vessels.
#4: Pressure Controlled Injections
Using a highly specialized medical device, Dr. B controls how quickly the fat goes into the buttock. This prevents it from going anywhere it was not intended to go. This help improves aesthetic outcomes and safety.
#5: Avoid Injecting Too Deep With The Use Of Ultrasound
It is safe to add fat to the subcutaneous fat layer, but, as previously mentioned, it needs to stay within this plane. Experienced BBL surgeons should be able to tell the difference in how fat and muscle feel with the cannula, but it is still difficult without being able to physically see the fat and muscle layers. To provide safer BBLs, Dr. B and his practice were among the first in the United States to implement the use of ultrasound during BBL surgery. Along with the help of pressure control and consistent orientation of the cannula, it stops any fat from broaching the muscle layer.

FAQs
How Long Will A BBL Last?
Once completely healed from a Brazilian butt lift, the fat will act like all other fat on the body. It can grow and it can shrink or be used as energy. If a patient maintains a stable weight, they are unlikely to see major changes in the volume of their buttocks. Thus, this is essentially a permanent result. However, if a patient loses or gains a significant amount of weight, this may affect the look of the Brazilian butt lift.
What Are The Benefits Of Lymphatic Massage After A BBL Surgery?
Lymphatic massage helps reduce swelling so that patients can see the results of the liposuction and fat transfer quicker. In general, it also helps increase patient comfort and reduce uncomfortable bloating. The massages are primarily administered in the areas treated with liposuction and not the buttocks.
