For patients that wish to have a fuller, rounder bottom, the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) has been created. This procedure was named after Brazil due to their emphasis on a fuller bottom aesthetically. It involves specialized techniques in which fat is taken from areas where it is excessive (such as abdomen, love handles, thighs, arms, etc), then specially processed.
Thus, it also involves liposuction of different areas. The areas are chosen by the patient and surgeon, after which the processed fat is carefully concentrated and transferred into the bottom. The exact technique depends upon how the patient wishes the bottom to appear, for example in width and projection. There is a definite artistic eye to this procedure. The procedure has been significantly popularized by the public's positive perception of the figures of such celebrities as Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian.
Dr. Afifi has specialized in the Brazillian Butt Lift and has had patients specifically seeking her to perform this now popular technique. The combination of body sculpting and fat transfer has resulted in dramatic results, with beautiful curves resulting from this specific procedure.
