I have researched and it keeps coming up that in order to get a bbl you have to get a fake belly button. Is there a way to keep your real belly button?
Answer: A standalone BBL does not affect the belly button "Thank you for your question. A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) involves liposuction to harvest fat from various parts of the body, typically the abdomen, flanks, and thighs, and then transferring that fat to the buttocks to enhance its shape and size. The procedure does not inherently involve altering the belly button.

Answer: BBL Belly Button Thanks for your question. With a BBL, 360 lipo is performed (lipo of the upper and lower abdomen, the upper and lower back and the flanks) and then transferred to the buttocks. The procedure does not require you to get a "fake" belly button. You may be thinking of a tummy tuck in which excess fat is removed from the abdomen and so the belly button needs to repositioned. Hope this helps. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: BBL The procedure involves making small incisions in the donor areas for liposuction and in the buttocks for the fat transfer. Therefore, your natural belly button (umbilicus) is not typically affected during a BBL.

Answer: Is it possible to keep your natural belly button when undergoing a Brazilian butt lift? Hello @Tasteful233742, thank you for your question. This depends on the surgical technique of your chosen surgeon. BBL procedure involves liposuction from areas of the body where there is excess fat, typically the abdomen, hips, or thighs, and then transferring this fat into the buttocks to improve their shape and size. Generally speaking, a Brazilian butt lift (BBL) requires minimal incisions in the lower abdomen to allow access and does not include repositioning or reshaping of the belly button. It's also important that you follow all post surgical recommendation to maintain the shape of the navel. Remember that fat has been removed from the area, and a compression garment is necessary to ensure a successful outcome. If you are considering a Brazilian Butt Lift, consultation with a plastic surgeon who is experienced in this procedure is essential to ensure optimal results. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
