A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery typically takes 2 to 3 hours to complete.
This timeframe can vary based on several factors, including:
- The amount of fat being transferred: A larger volume of fat to be liposuctioned and injected will generally increase the surgery time.
- The complexity of the liposuction: Some patients require liposuction from multiple areas, or from areas that are more challenging to contour, which can add to the overall duration.
- The surgeon's technique and experience: A surgeon's proficiency and preferred techniques can influence the speed and efficiency of the procedure.
- Individual patient anatomy: Anatomical variations can sometimes necessitate adjustments to the surgical plan, potentially affecting the length of the surgery.
It's important to remember that this is just the surgical time. The total time spent at the facility will be longer due to pre-operative preparations and post-operative recovery room monitoring. Most BBLs are performed under general anesthesia.
