The Aji-Booty BBL

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), or what most of our clients refer to as The Aji-Booty, is a surgical butt augmentation procedure, done by our plastic surgeon Dr. Dare Ajibade, that enhances the current shape and volume of your buttocks through a fat transfer. This procedure has grown to be very popular and is one of the most performed services we offer, especially if you are looking to accent your curves, reverse drooping, add volume, and create a more feminine definition.

At Arike, we perform a variety of cosmetic procedures to make every individual look and feel their best. The Aji-Booty BBL is our most sought-after surgical treatment for those looking to enhance the shape and size of their buttocks through fat transfer, while simultaneously countering their back, hips, waist, and thighs with liposuction.  
 
During your initial consultation with your Arike specialist, you will be able to discuss your concerns, goals, possible risks, and benefits of the procedure.  At this time, we will be able to determine your candidacy and provide you with the next steps toward your journey at Arike.
Not too different from a regular liposuction procedure, extra fat will be removed from specific body parts, and once extracted, the fat is harvested and re-injected into the agreed-upon areas on or around the buttocks.  This procedure is performed in our state-of-the-art ambulatory treatment room, which typically takes 3 hours or less to complete. Surgical times vary depending on patient size, BMI, location, and amount of treatment areas scheduled.  
 
Your surgeon and medical team will ensure you are comfortably sedated and monitor your health throughout the procedure.  Small incisions, about half an inch to an inch long, will be created as access points to insert the cannula for precise fat removal around the back, hips, waist, and/or thighs. Once your surgeon has reached the limit of necessary fat, specialty canisters and instruments are used to separate and purify the harvested fat for transfer. Your surgeon will use advanced injection methods to reintroduce these healthy cells back into the buttocks. Depending on the level of enhancement to your backside, small incisions may be created to strategically place fat for optimal symmetry. Once completed, the incisions will be dressed to absorb leaking fluids from the entry sites. These small incisions will heal and seal on their own.  A compression garment will be provided to aid in skin retraction, body contouring, and reducing swelling and bruising while enhancing surgical outcomes.

Your surgical outcome from a fat transfer can be long-lasting and permanent.  You can expect your Aji-Booty to be perfectly customized to your size and personal preference.  Reabsorption of tissue is possible as some fat may struggle to create a new blood supply.  You can expect an increase in volume, prominent definition, a fuller backside, and a natural-looking and soft result.

Healing time varies by individual, treatment area, and size.  Depending on your daily routine and how strenuous your job is, most candidates can return to their normal activities, within reason, as soon as five days to two weeks, although healing can persist for 3-6 months or longer.  You must refrain from sitting directly on your buttocks for two weeks or as directed by your surgeon.  Since this is a 2 in 1 procedure, recovery can vary from areas that were liposuctioned vs. areas where fat was grafted. Bruising is expected and will fade in several days.  Swelling may take longer, persisting from several weeks to even several months.  Compression garments are encouraged to be used daily, anywhere between 6 weeks to 3 months, to reduce these side effects.  The recovery process is a journey; patience is highly recommended, as your body will have fluctuations in healing. Remember to follow home care instructions and keep up with any post operative appointments to ensure results.

The Aji-Booty BBL is very safe, with relatively few side effects when performed in the proper setting.  Although the risks are generally low, possible side effects such as bruising, swelling, infection, and pain can be reduced with proper adherence to post-operative care.  Since we are reintroducing your own fat cells back into the body, allergic reactions from the transfer are extremely rare.  Ambulating regularly after your procedure will decrease the chances of blood clotting and speed up the recovery process by increasing blood flow.  Your medical team at Arike will provide detailed instructions for at-home care and pain management.
