Hi, my name is Doctor Rafi Bidros and I'm with MyBodyMD Plastic Surgery, and today I'm answering a question about what is BBL. And that stands for Brazilian Butt Lift. And what that entails, and why is it Brazilian, 'cause I guess ladies in Brazil have a higher buttock take off, a very narrow waist, and we're trying to simulate that surgically by removing the excess waist fat and then taking that fat, processing it and injecting it in the buttocks to shape it, make it round, and make it appear like we've lifted the buttocks. So there's no real lift from a surgical standpoint, there's no big cuts or anything like that, it's all small incisions. And now sometimes that's combined with a tummy tuck, and we also not only inject the buttocks, but the hips. So depending on the silhouette, if you're looking at the body straight ahead, we want to have the hips come out and the waist go in. And then also we look at it from a side profile, where we section the lower back and then inject in the upper buttocks area to give that rounded shape. So it's an operation that usually takes about two hours, it involves mostly liposuction, which is just as important as the injection of the fat. So not only do you have to have adequate amount of fat to use for the injection, but also trying to ... The injection part of it is probably a third of the operation, I think two-thirds is the liposuction. It's a very common procedure nowadays and in fact I really use it quite often. Because we didn't really pay attention too much to the buttocks in the past, and maybe 10 years ago it wasn't as common as it is today. I hate to throw away fat anymore, so every liposuction case or tummy tuck case I'm always cognizant of that and I offer, and I tell the woman, "What do you want me to do with the fat, throw it away or recycle it?" And some women are happy with their backside and others could use a little rejuvenation. And as we age, we're gonna lose fat not only in other parts of our body but the buttocks also, so we want to rejuvenate it and make it youthful again. It's a very common procedure and actually we do it quite often, once or twice a week, at least. Thank you.

Hi. I'm Dr. Rafi Bidros, here in Houston and Katy, Texas. Today I was going to answer a few questions about some emails that we've received. One of the more common emails that we get is, "What's included in a Mommy Makeover?" Typically, a Mommy Makeover is something when we restore the breast and the abdomen after pregnancy. Usually, mommies after their done having kids, a lot of times they complain about how their breasts look, either too big or too small or a little bit saggy. Then the abdomen, if they got a bulge now or access skin on the lower abdomen. Those are the areas that are the most concerning to a young mother. So, after kids are grown they wanna take care of those body parts, you know we can help them with that. That's what a Mommy Makeover is. So typically, for the breasts most of the time it includes a lift, but sometimes it doesn't need to be a lift. It can be just as simple as implant, which restores the shape of the breasts, perks it up. On some occasions we actually have to lift the skin and kind of reposition the nipple in a better place. Sometime the nipple areola are a little bit enlarges after breastfeeding. We can reduce that as well. On a few occasions some women feel that the breast is too big and we can actually do a reduction. One of those three things can happen during the Mommy Makeover. Then when you look at the abdomen we concentrate on reconstructing where the abdominal muscles are positioned. A lot of times after pregnancy, patients get what's called rectus diastasis, which is muscles are spread apart a little bit and the patients get a bulge in the middle, so we correct that during the tummy tuck. We also get rid of a lot of the access skin that's hanging at the bottom of their belly, creating the overhang and just tighten up the abdomen. A lot of times we also include liposuction of the waist and just contouring. Also, lately we're also taking some of that fat and contouring the hip or sometimes buttock augmentation, but those are additive. The most common things we're doing in the Mommy Makeover are breast rejuvenation and abdomen rejuvenation. So thank you. Keep tuning in to our YouTube channel and we'll keep talking about more of those questions.
