How to avoid abdominal rippling and strange belly button after Brazilian Butt Lift?

Dear thetravelgirl,While there is always a chance for contour irregularities with liposuction, someone who takes their time and uses the appropriate sized cannulas should give you a superb result.I have all my patients wear compression garments and I use multiple sized cannulas to feather out the result.Fat viability depends a lot of surgeon technique. The fat has to be placed back into the buttocks as soon as possible so that it has a greater chance of survival. It has to be placed carefully so that not too much fat is placed in only one area.Daniel Barrett, MD

Unfortunately there are no pictures. If a patient has good quality tummy skin, then they should not have much of a problem with rippling of their tummy after a bbl and their belly button should look normal. (Please see the bbl video on our page) if one has loose tummy skin, liposuction may result in wrinkling of the tummy. If the laxity of the skin is minimal one may consider tightening the skin utilizing a radio frequency device like Renuvion J plasma. If the patient has a lot of loose skin, secondary to having children, I would recommend performing a tummy tuck first. (Please watch Malibu tummy tuck video on our page). I’m very excited about a new high tech device used to perform BBLs. It’s called the Vibrastat. For more information please watch the enclosed video.
