BBL Reduction With Dr. Hakimi

A Brazilian butt lift is a surgical procedure designed to augment and reshape the buttocks. It involves taking excess fat from other areas of the body, such as the hips or abdomen, and injecting it into the backside to add volume without implants. While BBLs can enhance your natural curves and help you achieve a dramatic look, you may be looking to restore a more proportional figure as aesthetic trends change and your own personal tastes evolve.

If what seemed sexy in your 20s feels unsophisticated in your late 30s or early 40s, a BBL reduction or revision with Dr. Hakimi can remove excess fat from the buttocks without sacrificing its perky shape. This procedure involves expertly performed liposuction to sculpt more balanced contours. Depending on how much fat is removed, your procedure may also include radiofrequency skin tightening to eliminate sagging or stretched skin for optimal results.

Fat Transfer & Skin Tightening

Dr. Hakimi may recommend including a fat transfer or radiofrequency skin tightening as part of your BBL reduction to help you achieve the best possible outcome. With a fat transfer, excess fat that is removed from the buttocks can be redistributed to other areas of the body, such as the face or breasts, to help you maintain harmonious contours. Meanwhile, skin tightening can reduce sagging to ensure your backside remains firm and well-shaped after surgery.

BBL Reduction Results

The goal of a BBL reduction isn’t to completely reverse your original procedure but to help you achieve more balanced and proportional body contours. Immediately after surgery, your backside will be noticeably smaller, with results that continue to develop as swelling subsides over the following weeks. The final shape of your buttocks is carefully sculpted to ensure a natural-looking outcome that complements your figure. If you have loose skin as a result of your BBL, skin tightening can eliminate sagging to create a firm and youthful appearance.

What to Expect During Your Procedure

01 // Revision

Depending on the amount of correction needed, your BBL revision can take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours to complete. This procedure can be performed using local anesthesia with oral medication, but Dr. Hakimi may recommend general anesthesia for more complex cases.

02 // How

To reduce the volume of your backside, Dr. Hakimi will make two small incisions in strategic locations to minimize scarring. Then, he’ll insert a thin cannula to remove some of the previously injected fat via liposuction, reshaping your buttocks to the desired size. He uses advanced techniques to ensure smooth contours and natural-looking results, but if more sculpting is needed, skin tightening may be used to eliminate sagging for a butt that is firm and perky.

03 // Duration

BBL reduction is an outpatient procedure, so you’ll be able to return home later the same day to begin your recovery. Dr. Hakimi will provide you with detailed post-op instructions to ensure proper healing and be available by phone or text to address any questions you may have.

FAQ

When Should I Consider a BBL Reduction?

Most patients considering a BBL reduction do so because the size of their buttocks no longer fits their aesthetic preferences or lifestyle. It’s also suitable when the results of a BBL are negatively affected by complications or bodily changes due to aging, pregnancy or weight fluctuations. If you’re seeking to reduce the volume of your backside with a BBL reduction or revision, Dr. Hakimi can assess your needs and recommend the best course of action.

Can I Reverse a BBL Completely?

While a BBL reduction can significantly decrease the size of your buttocks, completely reversing a BBL to your pre-surgery state is challenging. The goal is to remove excess fat and improve the shape of your backside to better suit your desires and body type. Dr. Hakimi focuses on achieving a youthful and aesthetically pleasing result that complements your natural figure.

Is Liposuction Alone Sufficient for a BBL Reduction?

In many cases, liposuction on its own will not produce the best outcome due to loose skin and dimpling. When volume is added to the buttocks via BBL, the skin stretches to accommodate the new contours; however, with age, the skin’s ability to contract is reduced. If a significant amount of fat is removed from your backside, it could lead to sagging, impacting the quality of your results. Dr. Hakimi frequently recommends patients considering a BBL reduction incorporate radiofrequency skin tightening into their treatment plan for optimal results.
