Brazilian Butt Lift

Brazilian Butt Lift or BBL involves liposuction and Autologous Fat Transfer, also known as AFT. Undesired fat is removed from a certain area of the body (e.g. abdomen, waistline, thighs) then injected into the buttocks.

Additional Facts

Who is a good candidate for Brazilian Butt Lift?

Overall healthy patients with loss of projection and volume of the buttocks who are aiming to achieve an aesthetic appearance of this area and correct unappealing fatty tissue deposits (debulking) or achieve defined body contour (sculpting) in other areas.

What are Brazilian Butt Lift contraindications?

Severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases, connective tissue disease, malignancy, unrealistic expectations, local skin pathology and pregnancy.

Note: A contraindication is a condition or factor that serves as a reason to withhold a certain medical treatment due to the harm that it would cause the patient.

How is this procedure performed?

  • The procedure is done under local tumescence anesthesia with monitored sedation.
  • This is then followed by emulsification and suction of fat preserving the skin blood supply and achieving the desired aesthetic results.
  • The fat is then harvested, mixed with antibiotics and PRP (platelet Rich Plasma) then injected into the desired area.
  • Injection of fat into the buttocks provide fuller rounded and youthful buttocks, also known as Brazilian Butt Lift or BBL.
  • Vaser liposuction uses ultrasound energy providing smooth contour and skin tightening

How long does the effect last?

  • It is reasonable to plan for overcorrection as part of the fat graft might "not take" meaning some of the injected fat will be lost
  • The effect is long term but varies per patient

What should I expect during recovery?

  • Mild swelling, bruising and numbness are expected which usually resolve within a few weeks
  • Icing and using compression garment can decrease swelling and bruising
  • After BBL, avoid sitting, driving or sleeping on your back for at least 3 weeks to avoid pressure on the fat graft
  • Since the area is numb after the procedure, we routinely do not use narcotics for pain control and the pain is easily controlled on acetaminophen (Tylenol). Also, since general anesthesia and narcotics are avoided, nausea and vomiting are very rare after the procedure.

Where is the scar?

Very small incisions are used for liposuction and fat injection leaving very small scars that are not (or barely) visible

Dr. Akkary

I wouldn't go anywhere else!

I have been seeing Dr. Akkary since 2014. The first day I was given his cell number...that has NEVER happened before at any other doctor's office. He is genuine and compassionate and really only wants to help you succeed. I have called him so many times and he has ALWAYS answered my questions. He has performed 2 surgeries on me and I wouldn't go anywhere else! I trust him and his staff completely. They will listen to all of your concerns and explain everything completely!

Great for anything in his speciality

If you are looking for a doctor who will listen to you and explain what & why he’s going to do something, you have found him. He has the added benefit of a wonderful bedside manner minus the arrogance found in doctors ( just because they are doctors, you have met a few if you’re reading this I’m sure). In all he’s a wonderful person who if you’re lucky enough to find him, give him a call. You will have an amazing doctor who is there for you without dodging your call’s no matter how silly you think the question or thought may be ( this isn’t a paid ad I promise, you have his cellphone number incase of anything no matter the time. Sorry, but I’ve never been able to reach a doctor 24-7 without going through a answering service and even then how many times do you get to talk to them? Not many from my experience and I’ve seen more doctors than I care to think about.) he’s always able to answer it or calm your pre surgery nerves. He’s great if you’re looking for anything in his specialty and if I could, he’d be my doctor for everything, but he’s only one person so I will settle for his specific fields.

I refer patients to Dr. Akkary

Dr. Akkary is a skilled and caring surgeon who puts patient safety and great results as his highest priorities.

I refer patients to Dr. Akkary knowing that they will receive the best of care. I give Dr. Akkary my highest level of recommendation!

Amazing Job

I went to Dr. Akkary for a neck lift. He did an amazing job. My results are better than I ever dreamed possible. On top of doing excellent work, Dr. Akkary was a caring and concerned doctor. The surgery center is clean and in excellent condition and the prices are more than reasonable. I highly recommend Dr. Akkary and his surgery center.

Liposuction and Tummy Tuck

I had liposuction in my arms, backfat, waist & hips in September 2022. I also just had a full tummy tuck two weeks ago. I am very pleased with all the work he has done on me. The most caring Dr. I have ever met. He deserves more than five stars and his staff are amazing nurses.
