Most often, Dr. Larson uses a fat transfer process for a BBL procedure. This means using liposuction to take fat from “donor sites” and then purifying it before placing it strategically to augment other curves.
Choosing Your Donor Sites
When you come to Larson Plastic Surgery for a butt lift in Tucson, Dr. Larson starts by finding the best donor areas. Typically, we select fat from the abdomen, flanks, or thighs.
The choice depends on where you have enough fat and how removal from that area will affect your overall shape. Dr. Larson evaluates this during your consultation by looking at your full lower-body contour.
Preparing the Fat for Transfer
Once we remove it, the fat goes through a preparation step before Dr. Larson places it. We filter it to separate healthy fat cells from fluid, blood, and other material. We only use and transfer the purified portion.
Safety First!
Dr. Larson always uses ultrasound when placing fat in just the right spots to keep you safe and to avoid dangerous complications.
The fat cell health directly affects how much of your volume lasts. Cells that get damaged during processing are less likely to establish themselves after transfer. By handling this step carefully, Dr. Larson supports long-lasting results that won’t fade in the first year.
After Weight Loss, There Can Be Sagging Skin…
After significant weight loss, patients can get sagging skin of the back and buttocks, frequently known as “Ozempic Butt”.
Dr. Larson can combine low back lift techniques with auto-augmentation of the buttocks using your own tissue to help restore projection and volume. Dr. Larson can combine these with crescent low butt lift or spiral lift techniques in a “double butt lift” approach to restore youthful shape, contour, and size.
What Recovery Requires
Recovery asks you to protect the treatment while it settles. For the first several weeks after your butt lift in Tucson, you need to avoid direct pressure on the buttocks. Most patients use a BBL pillow when sitting, and they sleep on their side or stomach.
Dr. Larson and your care team also ask that you limit strenuous activity, heavy lifting, and prolonged unsupported sitting. He reviews your full recovery plan during your consultation, so you can prepare for the weeks after surgery before you commit.
