Brazilian Butt Lift
in Chicago, IL

Dr. Kapadia employs the most advanced techniques to promote a safe BBL procedure that delivers beautiful, long-lasting results. These include using the ultrasound-guided Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) technique to allow for more precise placement of fat injections and prevent unintentional injection into a blood vessel.

Dr. Kapadia also utilizes the SAFE BBL technique, which stands for Synchronous Augmentation with Fat Transfer and Extraction Brazilian Butt Lift. In this method, the fat extraction and fat transfer steps are performed simultaneously to minimize surgery time and reduce the risk of complications.

Hydration is Key. Proper hydration plays a vital role in a successful BBL. Dr. Kapadia will provide specific guidelines on how much water to drink leading up to your surgery to ensure optimal tissue health and a smoother surgical experience.

Nix the Cigarettes and Alcohol. Smoking constricts blood vessels and can impede healing. Similarly, alcohol can dehydrate you and thin your blood, potentially increasing bleeding risks. Dr. Kapadia will likely advise you to abstain from smoking for several weeks before surgery and to avoid alcohol for a designated period.

The BBL procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia. Here's a breakdown of the key steps:

Liposuction. Dr. Kapadia will use a thin surgical instrument called a cannula to gently suction out fat from targeted areas of your body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, or flanks. The amount of fat removed will depend on your desired results.

Fat Purification. The extracted fat is then carefully processed to remove impurities. This purification step ensures that only healthy fat cells are used for transfer.

Fat Transfer. Once purified, the fat is strategically injected into specific areas of your buttocks. Dr. Kapadia will meticulously sculpt and shape the buttocks using the transferred fat to achieve your desired size, contour, and projection.

Dr. Kapadia will provide detailed instructions on post-operative care, which typically involves wearing a compression garment to minimize swelling and promote healing. You can expect some soreness and bruising, which can be managed with medication and a compression garment. It's crucial to avoid strenuous activity for a designated period to allow your body to recover properly from plastic surgery. Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and address any concerns. As you heal, you will be cleared to gradually resume light activities followed by a return to more strenuous exercise. Remember to stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet to support your body's recovery process.
