How to Get That BBL Booty Without Surgery
Everyone wants their booty to look good, there’s no doubt about that! Over the years there have been trending surgeries and styles to get the butt of your dreams. One such procedure is the Brazilian Butt Lift, or BBL for short.
According to the internet, the “BBL Era” is over, that doesn’t mean big booties are out! There are plenty of ways to get a voluptuous backside without an invasive procedure. Let’s talk about what BBL’s are, and how to get the look without the surgery.
What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
To start, a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a specialized medical procedure that changes the size of your booty with a fat transfer. It’s different from implants, as it uses fat already in your body from areas like the hips, lower back, and thighs.
Essentially, the BBL will not only give you a killer booty, but it helps you lose fat in other areas that you may not want. It enhances your curves, and will help you have a youthful, bouncy butt. The problem is that it’s expensive, and not everyone wants to deal with surgery and recovery to get the booty they’ve always wanted.
Keep in mind that a BBL is NOT implants. You aren’t adding anything synthetic, it’s all fat that was already in your body. This is what made is popular in the plastic surgery community. That recovery time, however, is no fun. It takes about six weeks to recover from a BBL.
You’ve surely seen videos online of people flying home after a BBL unable to sit on their butt. It’s no fun! While the results are phenomenal, surgery is definitely not for everyone.
There are also safety concerns regarding the BBL. Before changes to the surgery, a BBL was considered to have the highest mortality rate of any cosmetic procedure. Since then, safety changes have been made to improve the procedure, and it has remained a popular surgery.
The good news is that there are plenty of options out there that will give you the same look of a BBL without the need for this procedure. So get ready to show off at the gym where you can confidently say you haven’t had any surgery.
Get a Sculptra Butt Lift Instead
An alternative to a BBL that is way less invasive is a Sculptra butt lift. It’s a type of dermal filler that is injected into your body. Keep in mind that for this procedure, you have to be qualified to get dermal fillers even though it’s non-surgical.
With Sculptra, there’s a lot less risk and a shorter recovery time than a BBL, but you still get a smackable booty. It works by injecting polylactic acid into your dermal layers. Once it’s in there, it works to boost your natural collagen production. This will give you the shape and plumpness you're looking for!
There’s not much of a risk of scarring, but you may have to worry about infections. It’s always important to do your research before jumping into any type of cosmetic procedure. Sculptra is also expensive, running from $4,000-$7,000. So, if you’re looking for a budget friendly booty alternative to the BBL, this is not it.
One of the perks of this procedure is that you’re in and out of the office pretty quickly. All they’re doing is injecting you, so you and your booty don't need to be put under. Most people are happy with the results, and they get the plumpness they’re looking for. While it’s less invasive, it’s still a medical procedure that may take multiple rounds to get you the results you’re looking for. Injections are also not ideal for our girls who are afraid of needles!
Try Emscuplt
Emsculpt is another BBL alternative that avoids the needle as well as invasive surgery. It works by using electromagnetic energy in a paddle-like applicator to contract the muscles in the problem area, AKA your booty. The contractions lead to an increase in muscle mass that can create a fuller, and firm behind. Experts state that this procedure is NOT going to give you a huge butt unless you already have one. It’s going to make it more full and firm, giving it lift.
Again, this is a more natural alternative to the BBL, so you’ll get more natural looking results! Typically, treatments happen in four sessions, but you won’t need any recovery time since there’s no surgery, or injections involved.
Booty Lifting Workouts
One of the most tried and true methods for getting the booty you want is a good old fashioned workout! It’s natural, and can cost nothing if you do it at home. With the right workouts, you can get the look of a BBL without going under the knife, or the needle. Here are some of the best workout moves to get you a rockin’ booty that will have everyone wondering if you went under the knife.
Squats
If you’re trying to give your booty some love in your workout, squats are a must. Squats are a basic workout move, but for it to be effective they must be done properly. Incorporating hand weights is a good way to enhance squats for a greater effect on your glutes.
Hip Thrusts
Hip thrusts are typically thought of as a leg exercise, but they’re great for your butt too! All you need to do is set up something to lean against as you’re sitting down below your shoulder blades. With your feet under your knees, start moving by squeezing your glutes together. Your knees should move up into a 90 degree angle before returning back to the ground. Repeat, and keep it up for a stellar butt!
Leg Lifts
Leg lifts are usually for the core, but they are a great addition to your BBL workout. They’re also very easy to do at home, or wherever. Lay on your back, press your palms into the floor and lift up! Doing this for a few minutes everyday can help you work your glute muscles.
Lunges
Your workout probably includes lunges already, but kicking it up a notch can help you get that BBL look you’re after. Lunges are customizable for the level you’re at and what you want to be working on. They will also stretch out your hips to get you ready for other moves, too.
Step Ups
Step ups are another easy workout move to show your butt some love. You can use a stepper, or any type of raised platform to do step ups and tone your glutes.
Booty Lifting Workout Clothes
When it comes to BBL alternatives, there are a lot of options! If you want to get the BBL look without committing to having the butt itself, there’s always Brazilian workout clothes. Butt lifting leggings could be the non-committal answer you’re looking for.
Padded butt lifting leggings can help you get an idea of what you want your butt to look like, and help you stay motivated for your fitness goals! There are also scrunched or synched leggings that will accentuate the behind you’ve already got.
Butt lifting leggings have become a popular alternative to the BBL and other methods because if you change your mind, all you have to do is stop wearing them! You can also switch up your butt’s look with different styles and shapes. Have fun with it, and try something new!
