How long does a BBL last?
This is the million-dollar question! While not entirely permanent, a BBL typically provides long-lasting results. On average, a BBL lasts 5 years or more if you maintain a stable weight and healthy, active lifestyle. Significant weight fluctuations can impact the fat cells transferred to the buttocks, potentially altering your coveted results.
What is a skinny BBL?
A “skinny BBL” is a variation of the traditional BBL where a smaller amount of fat is transferred to the buttocks. This technique is ideal for patients who desire a subtle enhancement rather than a dramatic transformation. It’s also a good option for leaner individuals who don’t have a large amount of excess fat available for transfer.
What does a BBL look like?
A well-executed BBL should enhance the natural curves of your body, creating a fuller, rounder, and more lifted buttock shape. The results should be proportionate to your overall physique and blend seamlessly with your existing contours. Don’t be fooled! Despite the popularity of some highly photographed buttocks (Kim Kardashian comes to mind), a BBL is designed for natural-looking results.
How dangerous is a BBL?
Like any surgical procedure, BBL carries potential risks. While unlikely to occur, the most serious complication associated with BBL is fat embolism, which occurs when fat enters the bloodstream and travels to the lungs. To minimize these risks, it’s crucial to choose a Royal College-certified surgeon with extensive BBL experience. By using safe techniques and adhering to strict protocols, I prioritize your safety above all else.
How much fat do you need for a BBL?
The amount of fat needed for a BBL varies depending on your desired outcome and body type. During your consultation, I’ll assess your anatomy and discuss where you may wish to remove “a little” so we can deposit a “little more” for a shapelier bottom. Then, I’ll recommend the optimal amount of fat transfer to achieve your goals.
How much is a BBL in Toronto?
The cost of a BBL at my practice ranges from $12,500 to $14,900, depending on the amount of fat removed, the complexity of the procedure, and several individual factors. Learn more about our procedure pricing and financing options, and then schedule a personalized consultation to get an exact price quote based on your specific needs.
How long does a BBL take to heal?
The initial recovery period after a BBL typically takes 2 to 3 weeks. During this time, you’ll need to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks and wear a compression garment to support the healing process. You can gradually resume normal activities after 6 to 8 weeks, but following your detailed post-op instructions is essential to ensure smooth healing and head-turning results. If your BBL is part of a comprehensive mommy makeover surgery, your recovery may take longer.
