Is a Brazilian Butt Lift procedure considered plastic surgery?

Hi HeidiFlava,Thanks for your question. Some people may not consider a BBL plastic surgery because it is nothing more than Liposuction with fat transfer.  Because the incisions are 3 to 5 mm in length, some consider it minimally invasive. However even though you see small scars on the outside everything on the inside is traumatized. This is why it takes a while for the complete healing process after Liposuction.  I certainly assure you that performing a Brazilian butt lift is a plastic surgery/cosmetic procedure. I hope this helps explain things better.All the Best,

BBL is a cosmetic plastic surgical procedure and should be performed by qualified plastic surgeons only. It is a combination of liposuction and fat transfer. It is not considered a reconstructive procedure and is not covered by insurance.
