In recent years, there has been a growing discussion among the public about the topic of body positivity. In general, body positivity is a movement among the public to promote acceptance and love when it comes to the body in order to increase self-confidence and improve the self-image of a person. Even with body positivity making changes to the general perception of beauty ideals, cosmetic surgery continues to be a popular option for those who want to alter or enhance their body.
While cosmetic surgery procedures such as rhinoplasty, liposuction, and a tummy tuck are accepted as a normal part of society, the idea of making changes to the aesthetic appearance of a body part seems to be in contrast to the idea of body positivity. Does the ongoing popularity of cosmetic surgery mean the public is moving away from body positivity or does cosmetic surgery actually contribute to body positivity? Let’s examine this question by taking a look at Brazilian butt lift (BBL) and whether or not the results of the procedure also result in an increased amount of body positivity.
A Brazilian butt lift, which is also known as a BBL, is performed in order to give the buttocks a larger appearance by providing the butt more volume and an enhanced contour. The surgeon will transfer fat from one area of the body and then inject the removed fat into the buttocks. The excess fat is removed from the body through the use of liposuction and the fat often comes form the abdomen, lower back, hips, and thighs. The surgery is generally successful as the fat that is removed comes from the body of the actual patient so there is less chance of the body rejecting the fat.
One of the main benefits of a Brazilian butt lift is that a board-certified plastic surgeon, who is experienced in performing the surgery, can create results that are natural in appearance. The surgeon will use an artistic approach to ensure the buttocks do not look overly filled to the point that it is obvious that surgery has been performed on the butt. The buttocks of the patient will maintain a natural feel along with a natural look.
As mentioned earlier, a Brazilian butt lift gives the buttocks a larger look along with an improved shape. The enhanced contour that comes from a BBL is not limited to the buttocks. Since the fat that is transferred into the butt comes from the body of the actual patient, the area where liposuction was performed also enjoys an improved shape and enhanced contour. These dual benefits can make the patient happy with more than the new shape to their buttocks.
In addition to the physical changes to the buttocks, the patient will enjoy an increased amount of self-confidence, an improved self-image, and happiness with the appearance of their body. A BBL can create a look to the body that is more balanced thanks to a proportionate body shape that can be described as an hourglass shape. The increase in the self-esteem of the person will lead to an increased amount of body positivity.
There are a number of reasons why Brazilian butt lift surgery continues to remain a popular plastic surgery choice. While some celebrities have not admitted to having a Brazilian butt lift, their appearance on the red carpet and other entertainment industry events seems to suggest the performance of a BBL. Plus, social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram feature photos and videos of patients showing off their results to the public. The influence of celebrities and social media plays a big part in the desire of the public to enhance the size and shape of their buttocks.
There have also been advancements in the performance of a BBL which has resulted in a greater amount of patient safety. Board-certified plastic surgeons use the latest techniques and industry-leading equipment to perform safer surgeries in a more efficient manner while still being able to provide results that are natural in appearance.
The growth in the number of Brazilian butt lift surgeries performed each year reflects the acceptance of the surgery among the general public and the desire for an improved contour to the body.
As with any type of surgical procedure, the process starts with the patient attending a consultation appointment with the doctor they have picked to perform the surgery. The doctor will examine the patient to make sure they are in good overall health and that there is a sufficient amount of excess fat that can be removed via liposuction and placed in the buttocks. The doctor will also set realistic expectations so the patient will have a firm idea of the results they can expect to see while still maintaining a natural look to the buttocks.
