Why are BBLs so Popular?
BBLs have gained in popularity in the past few years second to breast augmentation because they help you achieve two goals at once. Liposuction is used to transfer fat cells from one area, which are injected into the buttocks for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance for your physique.
One of the trends on the rise in cosmetic surgery is combining body sculpting procedures, which BBLs do quite well. Because the BBL uses your own fat cells for the injections, it also lowers the risk of rejection or complications. Most BBLs are quite safe when performed by board-certified plastic surgeons.
Projection Vs Hip Dimples
Many women now days have preference in the hourglass shape. In such cases, the fat is injected into the outer surface of the buttocks, thus transforming the hip area to a curved one. Conversely, if you want to increase the visibility of your buttocks backwards, the fat is injected over the muscle, achieving greater curvature.

BBL Types and Shapes
Inverted or V-Shaped Butt
The V-shaped butt doesn’t have a lot of volume in the lower buttocks and is generally accompanied by a fuller abdominal area. Bums with this shape tend to be on the “flatter” side and resemble an inverted triangle. Patients with an inverted or V-shaped butt sometimes opt for a BBL in order to better fill their jeans and bring more volume to their behind. Generally, these procedures use some of the extra fat from the abdominal area or the thighs for injection into the bum. For most patients with an inverted shaped bum, around/bubble-shaped butt is the ideal surgical goal.
Square or H-Shaped Butt
A square or H-shaped bum is, like a V-shape, a bit flat. Also like the V-shape, those with a square bum tend to have a fuller abdominal area. However, unlike the V-shape, a square butt tends to be less angular and boxier. This can be frustrating for those with this shape, as it can be difficult to find clothing that properly fits both a larger belly and a flatter bum. The most common result goal for a BBL candidate with a square bum tends to be the heart or A-shape.
Heart or A-Shaped Butt
A heart, or A-shaped bottom, is considered one of the more conventionally desirable types of butts out there. Individuals with a naturally occurring A-shaped behind also often have a traditional hourglass figure: slim waist and wide hips. Many BBL candidates have a heart-shaped bum as their goal when going into their procedure. However, plenty of folks with a naturally-given heart shaped butt still opt for a BBL, as it enhances what they were born with.
Round or O-Shaped Butt
The round, O-shaped behind is often fondly referred to as a “bubble butt.” This shape is known for its trademark curvy shape, which comes from a set of full hips and plenty of volume. Those with a bubble butt often opt for a BBL procedure, as it helps enhance their naturally round features.
