What’s the difference between BBL and implants?

BBL uses your own fat and offers a softer, natural feel. Implants provide more projection and are used when there isn’t enough fat. Both are safe and effective when done properly.

“Do I have enough fat for a BBL?”

If you have fat in your abdomen, waist, back, or thighs, you may be a good candidate. Dr. Bravo will assess this during consultation.

Is gluteal augmentation safe?

Yes — especially when performed with ultrasound guidance and proper implant technique. Dr. Bravo prioritizes safety and works in one of the region’s top surgical facilities.

How long do results last?

Implant results are long-term. For BBL, about 60–70% of the transferred fat survives permanently. Stable weight and good aftercare improve long-term outcomes.

BBL uses tiny, discreet incisions. Gluteal implants involve a hidden incision in the gluteal crease. Scars are carefully managed and fade over time.

“Can I sit after surgery?”

You will need to avoid direct pressure like sitting down over hard surfaces for 3-4 weeks. Special pillows are recommended to make the recovery comfortable.

Is the recovery painful?

Expect soreness and stiffness, particularly in the first week. Most patients manage well with prescribed pain medication and support garments.

Can I combine BBL with other procedures?

Yes — BBL is often paired with tummy tuck or breast surgery as part of a full-body contouring plan.

Full Body Makeover in Abu Dhabi

A comprehensive signature procedure by Dr. Bravo combining 360 liposuction, abdominoplasty, fat transfer to the buttocks, and breast surgery — for total body transformation in one safe, expertly performed surgery.

What Is the Full Body Makeover?

The Full Body Makeover is a complete, head-to-toe body contouring procedure created by Dr. Bravo to deliver a harmonious, proportional, and feminine figure — all in one surgical plan. This advanced combination includes:

360° Liposuction to contour the waist, flanks, back, and abdomen
Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) to tighten the abdominal muscles and remove excess skin
Fat Transfer to the Gluteal Region (BBL) to enhance the buttocks and hip curves
Breast Surgery (augmentation, lift, reduction, or fat grafting) to balance upper body proportions

By addressing the torso, breasts, abdomen, and glutes together, this procedure creates long-lasting results and reshapes the entire silhouette from every angle.

What Makes It Unique?

This procedure is ideal for patients seeking a post-pregnancy reset, post-weight loss transformation, or simply a complete aesthetic renewal.

Most patients have more than one area of concern — doing multiple isolated procedures over time often leads to unbalanced results and multiple recoveries. The Full Body Makeover provides:

A cohesive, balanced result tailored to your frame

Fewer total surgeries and recoveries

A dramatic transformation with natural-looking proportions

A fully personalized plan based on your anatomy and goals
