111 Harley St. Guide to The BBL

There are so many factors to consider when it comes to fat loss and muscle tone, and believe it or not, exercise and a good diet alone isn’t a cure-all for everybody. There are so many factors that come into play that we ought to consider, from genetics and the way our body is modified to lifestyle elements such as work and sleeping habits. As a 360-degree wellness approach, weight loss is more than you think. That is why surgical treatments such as BBLs– otherwise known as Brazilian Butt Lifts – come into play. They are a helping hand towards the body of your dreams.

What is a BBL?
A BBL is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess fat from one body area and injecting it into the buttocks. The areas in which the fat is removed will be discussed in the consultation process. The most common areas are the stomach, hips or thighs.

What happens during a BBL procedure?
In a procedure that is carried out under general anaesthesia, the surgeon will use liposuction techniques to remove fat from the lower half of the body (or from the areas discussed) and then the fat is purified and injected into the specific points of the buttocks to achieve the desired shape and size. The pain is minimal, but there will be tenderness on the areas treated post-surgery. It is strongly advised to keep movement to a minimum immediately after surgery with light daily activity and work (signed off by your surgeon) to be carried out 10-14 days post-surgery.

The BBL Consultation Process at 111 Harley St.
Dr Yannis strives and recommends a BBL over butt implants for buttock augmentation, as the results are more natural-looking and easier to maintain through a healthy and balanced lifestyle. The procedure will be discussed in the consultation, outlining your goals and expectations on the day of operation.

Post-BBL Surgery Recommendations
– No exercise for up to 10-14 days
– Lying on your stomach when sleeping
– Kneel or stand during daily activity
– A supportive doughnut, seat or pillow will be provided to prevent pressure on the buttocks.
– Full recovery should take up to 6 months
– Maintain a stable weight in the years following.
