SUMMARY
- BBLs are long-lasting but not permanent.
- Expect your BBL to last 7-10 years.
- Remember that your body changes as you get older, so you might need a second procedure as you age.
The Brazilian Butt Lift, commonly known as BBL, has become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures for those looking to enhance their curves. It’s a process that promises fuller, natural-looking buttocks, but how long do the results last? 🤔
The Lifespan of a BBL: What to Expect? ☝🏽
The results of a Brazilian butt lift are generally considered semi-permanent, often lasting several years and potentially extending over a decade without the need for additional treatments. However, as the body naturally changes with age, these changes can influence the appearance of the results over time.
Initial Absorption: The First Few Months 📆
Approximately 40% of the fat cells transferred during BBL get naturally reabsorbed by the body during the initial months. It’s a normal part of the process, and it means that the immediate post-surgery appearance isn’t the final result.
Final Results: 4 to 6 Months Post-Surgery 🤗
The true transformation takes between 4 and 6 months to reveal itself. It’s during this period that you’ll see how many fat cells have survived the transfer to your buttocks. Expect a natural, curvy appearance that fits your body’s proportions.
Long-term Retention: Keeping Those Curves 🍑
Most patients can expect to retain between 60-70% of the initial fat that’s been transferred to the buttocks. That means the BBL’s effects are long-lasting but not entirely permanent. Consistency is key! 😊
Maintaining Your BBL
One of the best ways to keep BBL results is to maintain the same weight after surgery. Here’s how:
⚖️ Stable Weight: If you lose weight, your buttocks may reduce in size. Keeping your weight stable helps in preserving the BBL’s effects.
🍎 Healthy Lifestyle: Regular exercise and a balanced diet complement the surgery and can enhance its longevity.
👨🏽⚕️Follow Professional Advice: Your surgeon will provide specific care instructions post-surgery. Adhering to them is vital to maximise the lifespan of your BBL.
Long-Lasting, But Not Permanent
The Brazilian Butt Lift offers an exciting opportunity to enhance your natural curves. Its longevity varies from person to person, but with the right care and a consistent lifestyle, you can enjoy the results for years to come. Just remember – as you age, your body changes so you’ll likely need a follow-up surgery after a decade or so.
Remember, every individual is unique, and it’s always advisable to consult with your Plastic Surgeon for personalised guidance.
