As Brazilian butt lifts have grown in popularity over the years, so have the number of variations. While many people love the result of a BBL, they may not be thrilled with the idea of undergoing surgery—no matter how minimally invasive. Because of this, nonsurgical methods have been developed to help achieve a similar result. If you’re weighing the pros and cons of each to determine which procedure is right for you, you’ve come to the right place.
Traditional BBLs
Despite its name, a BBL is not actually a butt lift; it’s an augmentation of the buttock region using your own fat tissue. The process involves removing excess fat from other parts of your body, purifying it, and then strategically injecting it into the buttocks for a fuller appearance. The process is minimally invasive, requiring only a few small incisions where the fat is harvested and where it is injected.
Nonsurgical BBLs
If you’re someone who wants the results of a BBL but isn’t comfortable with surgery or doesn’t have enough fat for a successful transfer, nonsurgical options are available. Instead of fat, fillers can be injected into the buttocks for a similar result. The side effects following a nonsurgical Brazilian butt lift are minimal.
