Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) in Dubai

• Liposuction of the donor areas — usually abdomen, flanks or back.
• Processing — the fat is separated from fluid and prepared for transfer.
• Fat transfer — the fat is injected into the layer under the skin, above the gluteal muscle.

Fat is not injected into or under the muscle: this is the main rule for this operation recommended by international plastic surgery societies. Part of the transferred fat is absorbed in the first months, so the surgeon explains what volume is realistic for your body.

Adults with stable weight and enough donor fat who want more projection or a rounder contour of the buttocks. Very slim patients may not have enough fat for a transfer. Surgery is postponed for smokers who cannot stop, and for patients with uncontrolled medical conditions or a history of blood clots without medical clearance.

Most patients go home the same day. A compression garment is worn on the liposuction areas for four to six weeks. Direct sitting or lying on the buttocks is avoided for about two to three weeks, then a BBL cushion is used. Swelling settles over six to eight weeks; the shape is assessed at three to six months, when fat survival is stable.

Fat embolism — a rare but serious complication, which is why fat is placed only above the muscle; bleeding, infection, seroma, fat necrosis or firm lumps, contour irregularities, asymmetry, partial loss of the transferred volume, numbness, blood clots, anaesthesia-related risks and the need for a second session. The surgeon discusses these with you before you sign the consent.
