New York's Premier Brazilian Butt Lift by Dr. Leonard Grossman
In 1995, Dr. Leonard Grossman pioneered the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), a revolutionary procedure in cosmetic surgery. His expertise gained the spotlight in 1996 on the Learning Channel, showcasing a patient from Brazil and coining the term “Brazilian Butt Lift.” Dr. Grossman has since refined this fat grafting technique, ensuring amazing safety and consistent results for numerous patients. The BBL involves using the patient’s fat and fat-derived stem cells to augment and reshape the buttocks, offering permanent enhancement.
The BBL Process:
- Fat Harvesting: Through gentle liposuction, unwanted fat is removed from the thighs, back, waist, abdomen, or arms.
- Fat Transfer: The harvested fat is processed and injected into the buttocks, ensuring a natural and scar-free augmentation.
How is the BBL performed:
Fat Harvesting is done using a Vacuum device and a small cannula (needle-like instrument), where fat is gently harvested or removed using liposuction from the areas where it is not wanted: the saddle bags, thighs, back, waist or the abdomen, even the arms.
***As a side note, this process of liposuction improves the proportions of the body by making it slimmer and more curvaceous.
Fat Transfer is done after live fat cells are washed, chemically stabilized, and pure fat is centrifuged to isolate the highest concentration of stem cells derived from fat and Live Fat suitable for transfer. Live Fat and fat-derived stem cells mixture is then injected into the buttocks, without any visible scars. These Fat and fat-derived stem cells will then take root and reside in the buttocks permanently, just like they did in the area where they came from.
Contrary to much fake information online, fat does NOT migrate, slide, or sag. Fat cells have no ability to move and if fat lumps appear anywhere else, they had to have been placed there by the surgeon. Unfortunately, this is an excuse used by doctors in poorly performed procedures.
The removal and harvest of fat cells (liposuction) when done by Dr. Grossman is so gentle that our patients usually don’t bruise, and they rarely have discomfort for which anything stronger than Tylenol or Advil is required. Dr. Grossman’s patients DO NOT need any kind of compression garments, they can go to work the very next day, the gym in just 10 days and best of all…. hit the beach in as little as just one week. Even swimming is allowed in just 10 days after the Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure when done by Dr. Grossman.
Contrary to online misinformation and unlike with other plastic surgeons, Dr. Grossman’s patients DO NOT have to buy special mattresses, pillows, or sleep on their belly. Our patients can resume a pretty much normal lifestyle ASAP, yet retain all the fat.
Anesthesia for BBL:
Most procedures are performed under IV sedation, offering a comfortable experience without the drawbacks of general anesthesia or the enormous stress associated with just local anesthesia.
Advantages of BBL over Silicone Implants:
- Lower complication rates compared to silicone implants.
- Minimal postoperative pain.
- No infections were recorded in BBL procedures by Dr. Grossman.
- Significantly reduced risk of seroma (fluid accumulation).
- Quick recovery, allowing normal walking immediately and running in just ten days.
- There is no risk of shifting implants.
For patients with insufficient fat, Dr. Grossman offers the Sculptra BBL, a non-surgical alternative using Sculptra Filler, yielding natural-looking results that can last for years.
Safety of BBL:
Dr. Grossman considers BBL one of the safest plastic surgery procedures when performed by a properly trained professional. He emphasizes the importance of choosing a qualified plastic surgeon to avoid complications like Fat Embolism or bleeding.
Cost and Duration:
BBL costs vary based on individual needs and the amount of fat harvesting required. The procedure typically takes 1.5 to 3 hours under Dr. Grossman’s expertise.
Post-Procedure Expectations:
Patients can expect minimal discomfort and bruising post-procedure. Dr. Grossman’s technique eliminates the need for drain tubes, unique cushions, lymphatic massages, or compression garments.
Technology and Techniques:
Dr. Grossman utilizes traditional or power-assisted liposuction for BBL, as Ultrasound and Laser techniques compromise fat cell viability.
Choosing the Right Surgeon:
It’s crucial to select a qualified plastic surgeon with extensive experience. In New York, ensure that your surgeon has completed an accredited plastic surgery training and operates in an accredited facility.
