What is an Athletic BBL?

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a procedure to augment the rear end using only the patient’s own autologous fat. The fat cells are extracted via liposuction from a donor region, such as the thighs, belly, hips, or back, achieving a secondary benefit of sculpting and contouring these areas.

Once the fat has been sterilized and purified, it is then strategically injected into the buttocks to create a rounder, fuller, and more youthful silhouette. Not all of the fat will survive the transplantation process, but enough will be viable in order to produce a marked improvement in terms of body shape.

Who is an Ideal Candidate?

Ideal candidates for an Athletic BBL have enough donor fat to draw from in order to make the procedure viable. If this is not the case, Dr. Kiwanuka can speak with you about some alternative body sculpting options.

As with any cosmetic procedure, patients should be non-smokers of sound mind and body who are not currently struggling with any uncontrolled medical concerns. They should have positive, realistic attitudes toward their treatment based on a discreet consultation with Dr. Kiwanuka.

How is the Procedure Performed?

An Athletic BBL is performed in three steps:

Fat is extracted from the donor region, typically the stomach, thighs, lower back, hips, or other areas using liposuction. A cannula, or small metal tube, is inserted into a tiny incision and connected to a suctioning device. This first step helps slim and sculpt the donor regions.
During the second step, the fat cells are purified and sterilized in a centrifuge, readying them for transfer.
In the final stage, Dr. Kiwanuka will inject the fat into previously decided-upon points in the rear end to augment volume and refine the buttock shape.

Athletic BBL can be performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with IV sedation. It can be assumed that not all the transferred fat cells will survive. An experienced provider like Dr. Kiwanuka will take this into consideration and over-inject the fat to ensure your body contouring goals are met.

What Can I Expect After My Athletic BBL?

Procedures for the buttocks require special modifications during the healing phase since most people are used to sitting down all day. You will not be able to put pressure on the buttocks for around 2 weeks, so tailoring your environment to your recovery is a good idea.

You will need to sleep on your side or your stomach at night and stand for all activities during the day except for when you use the bathroom. Eventually, you can use a donut-shaped booty pillow beneath your thighs once cleared by the doctor. You will be able to sit normally again after about 8 weeks.

Discomfort can be well-controlled through pain medications provided by Dr. Kiwanuka. Light activities can resume within around one week, and you may return to work within 10-14 days, provided that you carefully follow Dr. Kiwanuka’s instructions.
