Plastic surgery Butt enhancement procedures

The B’more Butt Lift focuses on making your buttocks stand out by eliminating the “muffin top” fat around your  waist. This procedure uses Lipo 360, a circumferential liposuction technique that removes fat around your entire torso. Many women have a muffin top that hides their natural buttocks. By removing this fat from the abdomen, flanks, and lower back, we reveal how much more prominent your buttocks truly are.

We call it the B’more Butt Lift in honor of our Baltimore practice, where women enhance their natural buttocks with this transformative procedure. It’s similar to Lipo 360, but with more focus on sculpting your buttocks for a defined and enhanced appearance.

Will the Procedure Increase My Butt Size?

By strategically removing fat from your waist and above the buttocks, the B’more Butt Lift makes your buttocks look larger. In most cases, you already have more buttock volume than you realize—the excess fat in your muffin top hides it!

However, if you’re looking for a major size increase or added volume to your hips and buttocks, the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) could be a better option. The BBL sculpts your torso and adds volume to your buttocks with fat injections, unlike the B’more Butt Lift, which enhances your natural shape.

The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a procedure that enhances the size and shape of your buttocks using your own fat. This makes it a natural way to create a fuller, rounder, and more youthful look. The fat is taken from areas like the stomach, thighs, or back and injected into the buttocks.

This procedure is popular among people of all ages and body types. It’s sometimes referred to as BBL with Lipo 360.

BBL Safety and Dr. Rodriguez’s Role in the BBL Task Force

In recent years, there has been concern over the safety of the BBL, particularly the risk of Pulmonary Fat Embolism (PFE), a serious complication. There were several reported BBL deaths due to PFE during the period 2014-2017. To address these concerns, a multi-society Gluteal Fat Grafting Safety Task Force was formed in 2017.

Dr. Rodriguez was a key member of this task force, which set new BBL safety guidelines in 2019. These guidelines ensure that fat must only be injected into the subcutaneous layer (just under the skin) and never into the muscles, as this increases the risk of PFE.

Why Dr. Rodriguez’s Expertise Matters

As a member of the Gluteal Fat Grafting Safety Task Force, Dr. Rodriguez played an important role in creating the best practices that keep BBL patients safe.

His involvement ensures that your procedure will follow the latest safety techniques. Be sure to ask your surgeon where they inject the fat and if they follow these critical safety guidelines.

A Posterior Butt Lift is a skin-tightening procedure that removes loose, hanging skin from above the buttocks. By removing this skin, the buttock tissues are lifted, improving the overall contour and giving a more youthful, perky appearance. It is especially suitable for patients who have lost significant weight through dieting, gastric bypass, or weight loss drugs like Ozempic.
