Embarking on the transformative journey towards achieving your ideal silhouette with a non-surgical Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) naturally brings up a host of questions, with “How many treatments will I need?” at the forefront. Gerrie Obi, the principal practitioner at Obi Bioaesthetics, brings her extensive expertise and experience in the aesthetic field directly to you. Having trained countless aesthetic providers across the globe, Gerrie’s deep understanding and innovative techniques, highlighted in her talk to ISPAN, are the foundation of our practice, ensuring you receive expert clarity and personalized guidance every step of the way.
Understanding Non-Surgical BBL: A Custom Approach
Non-surgical BBL, leveraging biostimulators like Sculptra® and RADIESSE®, represents a groundbreaking alternative to traditional methods, offering volumization and skin texture improvement without invasive surgery. The process, however, varies significantly from person to person, influenced by factors such as butt shape, desired outcomes, and individual anatomical considerations.
Decision Making: Empowering Our Patients
Our philosophy centers on informed choice and realistic expectations. Whether you achieve your desired outcome after one session or decide to pursue further enhancements, the decision is always yours, guided by our expertise and your personal goals. Approximately 20% of our patients find satisfaction after a single treatment, while 40% opt for a second session to add subtle volume and smoothness. About 20% might go for three treatments, and the remaining consider up to four sessions to achieve their ideal result.
Tailoring to Butt Shapes: Specific Recommendations
The effectiveness and approach to non-surgical BBL can vary widely with the shape of your buttocks, impacting the number of treatments needed:
- Square/Y-Shaped Butts: Often the most challenging to transform significantly. For those looking to improve texture and appearance under clothing, we may recommend starting with two to three sessions, understanding that dramatic reshaping is more limited with this butt type.
- V-Shaped Butts: Patients with V-shaped butts, including those addressing hip dips, can expect a treatment plan that might begin with two to four sessions, focusing on gradual improvement and balancing proportions.
- A-Shaped Butts: These shapes generally respond well to treatment, often requiring two to four sessions to create an illusion of lift and enhanced volume, with a noticeable improvement in the contour and appearance.
Continual Dialogue: Your Journey, Your Pace
Our approach is rooted in transparency and ongoing communication. We encourage discussions about budget, expectations, and the potential need for additional sessions right from the start. This ensures that every step of your non-surgical BBL journey is aligned with your aspirations and financial planning.
Beyond Aesthetics: Addressing Post-Surgical Concerns
For those navigating dissatisfaction from previous surgical BBLs, our expertise extends to corrective treatments. We approach these complex cases with caution, aiming to improve unevenness and texture, albeit with the understanding that results can be unpredictable due to factors like scar tissue.
Your Journey, Your Choice
At our Obi Institute, we believe in a patient-centered approach, empowering you with information and support to make decisions that reflect your desires and lifestyle. Whether seeking subtle enhancement or significant transformation, your journey is a collaborative process, with our team committed to providing expert guidance and personalized care every step of the way.
