You may have heard of an “apple-shaped” or a “pear-shaped” body. The pear shape body tends to have curves and has fuller buttocks. The apple-shaped body carries more fat inside the abdomen and frequently has small, flat buttocks.
Uneven or small buttocks can result from genetic factors, weight fluctuations, aging, or muscle asymmetry. In some cases, prior trauma or surgeries can also contribute to noticeable differences in size or shape.
A BBL uses fat harvested from other areas of your body, such as the abdomen or thighs, to reshape and enhance your buttocks. By strategically injecting the fat, a skilled surgeon can address asymmetry and improve the volume and contour of the buttocks for a more balanced appearance.
A BBL focuses specifically on enhancing the buttocks using a larger volume of fat transfer, often with more extensive reshaping. A traditional fat transfer may involve smaller amounts of fat to subtly correct asymmetry or add volume to targeted areas.
With proper post-operative care and a stable weight, the results of a BBL or fat transfer can last for many years. However, some fat loss is normal during the healing process. Following your surgeon’s guidelines and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help preserve your results.
