What Is BBL?
Before diving deep into the details, we must know completely about BBL. Brazilian Butt Lift or BBL is a surgical procedure that is also called gluteoplasty. It is a surgery in which the buttocks are uplifted by various methods.
The purpose of this surgery may be to enhance the aesthetic contours of the butt and to fix the belly fat. In other cases, BBL is performed to correct any congenital malalignment of the hip or anatomical abnormality of butt muscles. BBL covers the following procedures.
- Gluteal Implants
- Liposculpture
- Body Contouring
Gluteal Implants
It is a buttock prosthesis in which a silicon graft is placed inside the butt to raise and uplift it. The implant is fitted under the gluteal muscles.
Liposculpture
The procedure involves lipofilling and liposuction. In this procedure, the surgeon either removes the excess fat or fills up the fat to improve the contours of the body.
Body Contouring
Body Contouring is the basic aim of a BBL surgery. For this purpose, they either enhance your muscle mass or rearrange the shape of the muscles to make your butt appear perfectly round.
Why Does Your Belly Button Change After BBL?
A lot of females who are interested in a BBL surgery, ask a common question, that is, does a BBL change your belly button? Well, a BBL scar may make your belly button appear slightly weird, but it doesn’t mean that your belly button changes completely. A BBL recovery makes your belly button look completely normal, as improving the aesthetic appearance is the main aim of this surgery.
BBL scars may appear on your abdomen too. As the surgeon may take fat tissues from your abdomen to graft them to your butt region. When the fatty tissue is removed from the abdomen, your belly button may look a bit higher or lower than its original position. However, there isn’t any considerable change in the shape of the belly button after BBL.
The location of a BBL belly button differs slightly depending upon how much fat the surgeon has removed around the navel. Sometimes, the surgeon has to create a new opening for the belly button to maintain the tightness of your skin. However, the surgeon tries hard so that your belly button should look great. You can see a BBL belly button before and after surgery, in the picture below.
Tummy Tuck vs BBL Belly Button
A tummy tuck removes the fat from your abdominal area and makes your abdomen flat. It can make you achieve a perfectly flat belly if you’re not able to fix the sagging belly skin after weight loss. However, it doesn’t affect your butt shape.
On the other hand, BBL surgery also shapes your butt. Our main concern is to talk about the shape of the belly button after tummy tuck and BBL. During a BBL only the surgeon only removes the fat tissues around your belly button, hence your belly button moves slightly higher or lower.
But during a tummy tuck, a surgeon completely changes the position of the belly button and creates a new opening for the belly button as it is the demand of surgery. This is to improve the aesthetic appearance of your abdomen. You may get a tummy tuck and BBl at the same time. It all depends on the surgeon’s decision and the fat accumulation in your body.
Belly Button Piercing After BBL
