Brazilian Butt Lift in Blackstones Plastic Surgery
About the clinic
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery at Blackstones Plastic Surgery in Piedras Negras, Mexico, provides body contouring through advanced fat transfer techniques. The procedure uses ultrasound guidance to place fat safely in the subcutaneous layer, avoiding the gluteal muscle entirely. This method meets strict safety standards set by international plastic surgery societies.
Advanced Surgical Techniques
Dr. Vladimir Ramírez-Blanco performs the procedure using power-assisted liposuction (PAL) with the MicroAire system. This technology allows for a smoother fat harvest from the waist, flanks, back, or thighs. The system reduces physical trauma to the body and helps speed up the healing process compared to manual methods. Once the fat is collected and processed, Dr. Vladimir Ramírez-Blanco transfers it using continuous ultrasound visualization. This approach removes the risk of fat embolism by keeping the fat away from deep muscle tissues.
Specialist Qualifications
Dr. Vladimir Ramírez-Blanco is a specialist in plastic, aesthetic, and reconstructive surgery. He is board-certified by the Mexican Council of Plastic, Aesthetic, and Reconstructive Surgery (CMCPER). His expertise is recognized through memberships in the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS). He also founded Fundación Hadar to provide reconstructive care to patients in need. The surgery takes place in an accredited hospital facility with a dedicated board-certified anesthesiologist.
Recovery and Expectations
Patients can expect about 80% of the transferred fat to survive long-term. Some fat reabsorption is a normal part of the healing process. The recovery follows a specific timeline to protect the new shape:
- First 72 hours: Rest is required while fluid drains from the liposuction sites.
- Weeks 1 to 2: Direct sitting is prohibited; a BBL pillow must be used if sitting is unavoidable.
- 6 weeks: Sitting restrictions are lifted, and patients may return to full physical activity.
- 3 to 6 months: Final results become visible as the surviving fat cells settle permanently.
Patient Candidacy
Suitable candidates should have enough donor fat and good skin tone in the gluteal area. Before surgery, patients must stop using tobacco and nicotine for six weeks. Alcohol should be avoided for two weeks before the procedure. The clinic, located near the Texas border, offers virtual consultations for international patients. You can leave a request on Bookimed to learn more about the surgical plan.

Blackstones Plastic Surgery: more details about the clinic
Blackstones Plastic Surgery is a private practice in Piedras Negras, Mexico. The facility sits just minutes from the international bridge at Eagle Pass, Texas. Dr. Vladimir Ramírez-Blanco founded the practice in 2015. He focuses on safe surgical methods and natural results. The clinic operates within an accredited hospital where a board-certified anesthesiologist is present for every procedure.
Professional Accreditations and Expertise
Dr. Vladimir holds a professional medical license. He is certified by the Mexican Council of Plastic, Aesthetic, and Reconstructive Surgery. He maintains active memberships in several international organizations:
- International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS)
- American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)
- The Rhinoplasty Society
- American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS)
- Mexican Association of Plastic, Esthetic, and Reconstructive Surgery (AMCPER)
Dr. Vladimir completed his primary training at the University of Guadalajara. He later finished a fellowship under Dr. José Guerrerosantos and another in Turkey. This international training shapes the clinic's approach to facial and body contouring.
Specialized Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery
Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty is the clinic's signature procedure – and its most requested. Surgeons use ultrasonic instruments to shape nasal bones with high precision. This method avoids traditional force, so it helps preserve the internal nasal structure. Both open and closed techniques are available based on each patient's anatomy.
Body contouring follows a staged process, especially for patients after major weight loss. Surgeons limit single-operation time to five hours for safety. For breast augmentation, the clinic uses only Motiva Ergonomix implants. The team also performs:
- Brazilian Butt Lift using ultrasound-guided fat transfer
- Personalized Mommy Makeover combinations
- High-definition liposuction
- Reverse Tummy Tuck and lower body lifts
- Deep plane facelifts and neck lifts
Patients must stop all nicotine and tobacco products six weeks before surgery. This extends to three weeks after the procedure for proper wound healing. Patients over 45 need medical clearance before their scheduled date.
Reconstructive Care and Hand Surgery
Reconstructive services restore both physical function and skin integrity. Dr. Vladimir performs Mohs reconstruction for patients who have had skin cancer treatment. The clinic also treats melanoma and keloid scars. Keloid management combines excision with CO2 laser therapy to reduce recurrence risk.
The hand surgery department treats common nerve and tendon conditions through specialized surgical release. These procedures take place in the hospital operating room with tailored anesthesia. Available treatments include:
- Carpal tunnel release
- Cubital tunnel release
- Trigger finger release
- Ganglion cyst removal
Since 2015, the practice has supported reconstructive access through Fundación Hadar. This initiative provides surgical care to patients with limited financial resources.
Technology and Surgical Equipment
Blackstones Plastic Surgery uses specialized platforms to improve accuracy and safety. The team uses the MicroAire system for power-assisted liposuction (PAL). This allows smoother fat removal than manual techniques. For body sculpting, VASER liposuction is also available. It uses ultrasound energy to break down fat cells while sparing surrounding tissues.
Services for International Patients
The practice is fully bilingual, serving patients from across Texas and other regions. A dedicated coordinator manages scheduling, payments, and inquiries in English and Spanish. Virtual consultations via video are available for patients who cannot travel initially. This lets Dr. Vladimir review photographs and discuss surgical goals remotely.
Post-operative support follows a structured schedule. The clinic provides a recovery library with instructions on activity restrictions and warning signs. Patients stay in direct contact with a surgical nurse via WhatsApp during recovery. This communication continues at one, six, and twelve months after surgery.
