Does BBL Help with Cellulite? What You Need to Know

The search to get the proper shaped butt ends with the Brazilian Butt Lift which is a popular choice for many. With the surgery, millions of people are able to enjoy the aesthetic look they deserve; however, the question arises whether it could help to get rid of cellulite. Although the BBL is a surgery only to lift the butt by adding some fat, addressing cellulite in the same treatment is debatable. Let’s explore the combination in detail so that you know what to expect and keep a realistic approach toward the aesthetic goals.  

Understanding Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery

One of the most talked about body contour surgeries; BBL is designed to lift the buttocks through a fat transfer to the buttocks. The procedure uses the fat from the body of the patient and crafts it carefully to give the perfect shape to the butt. This is good for people with sagging or loose skin or wrinkled buttocks.  

Benefits of Brazilian Butt Lift

The procedure comes with the amazing benefit of giving you the desired shape and curve you want for your body contour. Here are some benefits of BBL:
  • Softer and more natural look 
  • Low risk of infection 
  • Relatively quick results 
  • It gives a more youthful look. 
  • It boosts confidence and self-esteem. 

Understanding Cellulite

Cellulite is the fat deposits beneath the skin that create the dimpled or lumpy appearance. It commonly occurs on the thigh and buttocks due to factors like genetics, hormonal changes, and lifestyle. It is visible and thus many look for a solution. The sad reality is, there is no dedicated solution to the cellulite but can be addressed through liposuction only after consulting a doctor.  

Effect of BBL on the Cellulite 

BBL surgery does affect the cellulite, but only for some patients. The BBL is not the treatment for cellulite, but its appearance may vary post-surgery. After undergoing BBL, the added fat does affect the shape and size of the butt, making it more smoother and firmer. Thus, the visibility of the dimples and dents is reduced. However, it is important to understand that a Brazilian buttlift isn’t surgery for cellulite. You must have realistic expectations from the procedure to understand your real purpose for deciding BBL. 

Final Thought

Everyone is talking about how BBL can give the perfect shape and size to the butt by adding fat to the butt; however, many want something more out of it, getting cellulite treatment under the same surgery. However, it is important to note that BBL isn’t a treatment for cellulite; rather, it just affects the appearance of it on the thighs. As the added fat makes the butt more smoother or firmer, it reduces the visibility of cellulite on the skin. Consult your doctor if you have any doubts, and discuss your expectations for BBL surgery in detail.
