Liposuction of the abdomen + BBL

The ideal candidate

Liposuction of the abdomen combined with fat transfer to the buttocks (BBL) is suitable for people who wish to reduce fat deposits in the abdominal area and improve the gluteal contour through a natural method. This procedure is indicated especially for patients with relatively stable weight, who have a sufficient amount of fat to be harvested and transferred.

• People with localized excess fat in the abdomen
• Individuals with insufficient volume or asymmetries of the buttocks
• Patients in good general health and with realistic expectations
• Non-smokers or willing to temporarily give up smoking
• People who want natural body reshaping, without implants

The technique

The procedure consists of extracting fat from the abdominal area through liposuction, using fine cannulas and precise techniques to protect the surrounding tissues. The harvested fat is then processed and purified before being reinjected into the buttocks to restore volume and contour. This method allows the simultaneous reshaping of the abdomen and buttocks, achieving an aesthetic balance between the two areas.

Anesthesia and duration

The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the complexity of the case and the patient’s preferences. The duration of the procedure is approximately 2 to 4 hours, varying according to the volume of fat to be harvested and transferred.

Recovery

The first few days

Relative rest is recommended, avoiding intense physical effort. Edema and bruising may appear in the treated areas, which improve gradually.

The first week

Wearing a compression garment is important to support the operated areas and facilitate healing. Most patients can return to light activities.

The first month

Edema continues to decrease, and the body shape becomes more evident. It is recommended to avoid intense physical exercise and prolonged sun exposure.

The final results can be observed after approximately 3 to 6 months, when the tissues have completely stabilized.

Risks and safety

• Local infections
• Hematomas and bruising
• Asymmetries or contour irregularities
• Partial reabsorption of the transferred fat
• Adverse reactions to anesthesia

All these risks are carefully monitored and minimized through rigorous preoperative assessment, correct surgical techniques and adequate postoperative follow-up.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to see the final results of the procedure?

The final results are usually observed after 3 to 6 months, a period during which the edema decreases and the transferred fat integrates into the tissues of the buttocks.

Is the procedure and the recovery period painful?

During the procedure the patient does not feel pain due to the anesthesia. During the recovery period, discomfort and sensitivity may appear in the treated areas, which can be managed with appropriate medication.

Is there a risk that the transferred fat will disappear over time?

Part of the reinjected fat may be reabsorbed naturally, but a significant proportion remains permanent. The final result depends on the technique used and on the individual response of the body.

How important is wearing the compression garment after the operation?

Wearing the compression garment is essential to reduce edema, prevent the accumulation of fluid and help correctly shape the body contour during the healing period.
