You’ve probably heard about the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure, also known as a BBL, as it has been gaining popularity in plastic surgery over the past few years. This procedure involves transferred fat from specific areas of the body and transferring it back to the buttocks to create a shapely, Kardashian-like bottom.
However, it’s important to note that the traditional BBL requires a significant amount of fat transfer, which not everyone has. Even extremely fit individuals often lack the excess fat necessary for this procedure.
To address this, Dr. Sieber has created a modified version of the procedure called the Mini BBL, which is designed to work for patients with less fat to spare.
WHAT IS A MINI LIFT?
Essentially, a Mini BBL is a procedure that takes any available fat from other areas of the body and transfers it to the buttocks. For example, Dr. Sieber may be able to harvest fat from the back, inner thighs, abdomen, upper arms, or flanks. He’ll find what fat is available, harvest it using liposuction, and use it to enhance the buttocks.
Essentially, the procedure is the same as for a standard BBL, but the key difference is that the Mini BBL doesn’t require as much excess fat to begin with. Keeping this in mind, then, it’s also important to note that the results from the procedure will be different after a Mini Brazilian Butt Lift versus a standard as well. That is, the changes won’t be as dramatic.
Usually, the harvested fat in a Mini BBL is used to round out areas like hip dips or to create a more athletic shape overall. It’s common for patients who are interested in a Mini BBL to also undergo high definition liposuction.
What is mini BBL?
The Mini BBL is a modified version of the traditional BBL procedure. Like the traditional BBL, the Mini is designed to enhance the shape and size of the buttocks using a patient’s own fat. However, the key difference is that the Mini BBL uses a smaller amount of fat to achieve a more subtle, natural-looking enhancement of the buttocks.
During a Mini BBL procedure, the surgeon will first perform liposuction to remove a small amount of fat from another area of the body, such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. The fat is then purified and prepared for transfer to the buttocks.
Using small, precise injections, the surgeon carefully deposits the purified fat into the buttocks to create a subtle, lifted, and more shapely appearance.
Keep in mind that mini BBL cost is not much less then the traditional.
HOW WILL I KNOW IF I AM ELIGIBLE FOR A MINI BBL?
The best way to know if you are eligible for a Mini BBL is to meet one-on-one with Dr. Sieber for a consultation appointment. This is the standard routine for any type of cosmetic surgery procedure, and it’s also the best way to know whether you have sufficient body fat to be harvested for a standard BBL or if you need a Mini BBL instead.
If you don’t require very dramatic mini BBL results, this is also a way to know automatically which technique is best for you. Those who are looking for only slight changes in the size and shape of their buttocks and hips will probably be eligible for a Mini Brazilian Butt Lift.
WHAT IS THE TECHNIQUE USED FOR A MINI BBL?
Overall, the technique used for a Mini BBL is the same that is used for a regular BBL.
The first step is always booking a consultation appointment. This is the perfect time to explain to Dr. Sieber what you’re looking for in terms of the results of your procedure. It’s best to take some pictures of yourself in the past or of celebrities so that you can show Dr. Sieber exactly what you’re looking for. You should also bring along all of the major details of your medical history as Dr. Sieber will want to ensure that you are a good candidate for this procedure.
Once you’ve been okayed for the Mini BBL surgery, you can make an appointment for the procedure. Leading up to the procedure, Dr. Sieber may have you stop or alter any medications you are taking that may thin your blood or otherwise affect the recovery and results of your procedure.
The procedure itself will begin with the administration of general anesthesia. All Brazilian Butt Lifts require general anesthesia.
From here, Dr. Sieber will make several incisions near the target areas where fat is to be taken. These will be extremely small incisions (usually about 5 mm in length), and they will be in concealed areas of the body where scarring will not be noticeable after healing.
A saline mixture of epinephrine and lidocaine will then be applied in the target areas through the incisions, which will help with bleeding, the facilitation of fat removal, and pain control after the procedure.
Liposuction will then be used to remove fat from the target areas. The fat will be cleaned and combined with antibiotics. Finally, Dr. Sieber will inject transferred fat into the buttocks and other nearby target areas to create the body contours you desire. How much fat depends.
WHAT RESULTS CAN I ACHIEVE WITH A MINI BBL?
To be sure, not all patients are good candidates for a Mini BBL. Some will be better candidates for a regular BBL if they want dramatic results.
Generally speaking, if you are looking for a more athletic figure or if you’re looking to make only slight improvements on or around your buttocks, the Mini BBL is right for you.
It’s great for enhancing hip dips and adding shape and projection to the buttocks. It’s also good for redefining areas like the back, shoulders, abdomen, arms, calves, and legs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a petite BBL last?
The duration of results for a Petite BBL, which is a type of BBL that uses a smaller amount of fat transfer to augment the buttocks, can vary depending on a number of factors. While it is generally considered a long-lasting procedure, there are several factors that can impact the longevity of the results.
First, it’s important to note that a portion of the fat transfer may not survive the transplantation process, which means that the initial results may appear slightly larger than the final outcome.
In addition, the final outcome can depend on how well a patient follows post-operative instructions, such as avoiding pressure on the buttocks and maintaining a stable weight.
On average, patients can expect to enjoy their results for several years, with many experiencing results that last for five years or more. However, it’s important to note that the longevity of results can vary depending on individual factors, such as lose weight and lifestyle habits.
To maximize the longevity of results, it’s important to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine and to follow all post-operative instructions provided by the plastic surgeon.
What does a Mini BBL Cost?
The cost of a mini Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) can vary depending on various factors such as the geographic location of the provider, the experience of the provider, the amount of fat being transferred, and the specific techniques used.
However, the average cost of a mini BBL typically ranges from $4,000 to $10,000. It is important to note that price should not be the only factor considered when choosing a provider, as the experience and qualifications of the provider are also critical factors in achieving safe and desirable results.
