Recent years have seen an astounding rise in the popularity of an hourglass figure with curvaceous hips and full, firm buttocks. Celebrities like the Kardashians, Jennifer Lopez and Beyoncé have fueled the trend with their voluptuous figures, inspiring countless women to try to achieve their #glutegoals with butt-building diets and squat-heavy workout routines. Unfortunately, the natural approach frequently falls flat.
If you’ve had no luck achieving your desired buttocks shape and size at the gym, you’ve probably heard of the Brazilian Butt Lift. BBL surgery is in high demand, with women turning to natural buttock augmentation for show-stopping volume without implants. This buzzy butt enhancement technique uses a patient’s excess fat to give their derrière a smoother, shapelier and more lifted look.
At Muse Plastic Surgery, Dr. Wright Jones has developed his own signature BBL: the Georgia Peach Lift. Dr. Jones’ technique focuses on creating unique, noticeable, and flattering results while avoiding outcomes that appear overdone or unnatural. Find out more about the Georgia Peach Lift and how it compares to the standard BBL technique below.
BBL vs Georgia Peach Lift — What Is It?
The Brazilian Butt Lift is a two-stage procedure. In the first phase, fat is harvested from a donor site on the patient’s body (typically the abdomen or upper hip area) using liposuction. The fat is then purified for use in the second phase, when it is reinjected into the buttocks to add volume and improve contours, firmness, symmetry and proportion. BBL surgery has the dual benefits of enhancing the buttocks and slimming the area where the fat is removed. The Georgia Peach Lift follows the same basic steps for a two-in-one body-boosting impact, with slightly modified aesthetic goals.
What Does Georgia Peach Lift Do?
A Brazilian Butt Lift or Georgia Peach Lift can:
- Add volume to all or part of the buttocks
- Improve shape and curve
- Fill in divots or correct asymmetry
- Lift a sagging butt
- Add projection to flat or deflated buttocks
- Create a more fit or sensual silhouette
What Happens During Georgia Peach Lift Surgery?
Dr. Jones performs both techniques under general anesthesia in an outpatient setting. The procedure takes two to three hours, depending on the complexity and scope of the surgery.
In the first part of the procedure, Dr. Jones injects tumescent fluid into the donor site and uses a cannula to remove the fat. He may use one donor site or multiple donor sites depending on the amount of fat needed. After it is extracted, the fat is processed and purified to prepare it for transfer to the buttocks. Dr. Jones then injects the sterilized fat into the deep fatty tissue of the gluteal region.
One of the key differences between the standard BBL and the Georgia Peach Lift is where the fat is injected. In a classic BBL, the fat is often injected to achieve an upside-down heart shape, with a narrow waistline and greater protrusion in the hips and lower region of the buttocks. In a Georgia Peach Lift, Dr. Jones modifies his approach to create a look more akin to a peach, with fullness in the upper, mid and lower buttocks and above average — but not extreme — body proportions.
Who Is Qualified to Perform the Procedure?
Brazilian Butt Lift surgery should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon in an accredited surgical facility. Because it is a well-known technique, a larger number of plastic surgeons have the training, experience and eye for aesthetic detail needed to deliver a safe and attractive BBL result. The Georgia Peach Lift is a proprietary approach developed by Dr. Jones. He is the only surgeon qualified to perform this technique.
How Long Is Recovery from Georgia Peach Lift?
Recovery length and restrictions are similar regardless of which technique you choose. After a BBL or Georgia Peach Lift, patients are required to wear a special compression garment and avoid sitting directly on their buttocks as much as possible. Most of Dr. Jones’ patients are comfortable returning to work within two weeks. Exact recovery times vary depending upon the extent of the surgery and the unique rate at which each patient’s body heals.
What Are the Expected Results?
Every buttock augmentation procedure is custom-tailored to the individual’s goals and physique. Brazilian Butt Lift surgery can be subtle or dramatic, depending on the patient’s aesthetic tastes and how much fat they have available to transfer. Some BBL patients prefer a natural but slightly more exaggerated look. With Dr. Jones’ Georgia Peach Lift technique, the increase in projection is significant but not extreme. The goal of the procedure is to enhance the gluteal shape and size and improve the body’s proportions without appearing artificial.
Are There Scars?
Any time an incision is made, a scar is possible. The incisions used in both of these techniques are small and the scars are virtually unnoticeable on many patients once they’ve matured. The Georgia Peach Lift involves no incisions in the exposed areas of the lower back, which is commonly seen in traditional BBLs, giving it an even better cosmetic result.
Are the Results Permanent?
Both techniques deliver beautiful, long-lasting gluteal enhancement. There will likely be some fat loss during initial healing. The fat that survives the transfer can remain for many years. Patients who maintain healthy, active lifestyles see the most longevity from their BBL or Georgia Peach Lift results.
BBL vs Georgia Peach Lift: Which One Is Right for Me?
With Dr. Jones’ artistry and cutting-edge techniques, gorgeous glutes can be accomplished with either approach. Dr. Jones will take the time to explain all of your buttock augmentation options so that you feel confident you’re making the decision that’s right for you. As a general rule, the Georgia Peach Lift is ideal for more conservative patients who desire larger buttocks with proportionate curves that can be appreciated in a cocktail dress or a pair of jeans, while the classic BBL may be preferred by patients seeking more significant changes in size and projection.
