Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
The BBL is a cosmetic surgery intended to shape and enlarge the buttocks by the use of fat grafting.
Steps of the Procedure
Consultation: You will be able to discuss your goals and medical history with a board-certified plastic surgeon to decide if you are a good candidate.
Anesthesia: The operation will be under general anesthesia or, in most instances, sedation.
Liposuction: The fat is taken from any part of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, through a process called liposuction. It involves small cuts and the insertion of a cannula for sucking out the fat.
Fat Preparation: After extraction, the fat is treated to separate the healthy fat cells from blood or any fluid.
Grafting: Transferred refined fat is inserted into desired areas of the buttocks for shape and volume. The surgeon carefully places the fat to ensure a smooth natural look.
Closure of Incisions: The access points of liposuction are sutured, and a compression garment may be wrapped around the liposuction sites.
Recovery
- Post-Operative Care: You’ll need to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for several weeks to allow the fat to settle properly.
- Swelling and Bruising: Expect some swelling and bruising, which should subside over time.
- Activity Restrictions: Light activities can usually resume within a week, but strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks.
Risks
As with any surgery, there are risks involved, including:
- Infection
- Uneven contours
- Fat embolism (fat entering the bloodstream)
- Scarring
Results
Results will be evident after the decrease in swelling is reduced, and long-lasting effects are possible once weight is kept stable.

Individuals dissatisfied with their buttock appearance, aspiring for a more rounded, lifted, and contoured look, often turn to a Brazilian Butt Lift. It proves beneficial for those with naturally flat or sagging buttocks, asymmetry, significant weight loss resulting in a flattened appearance, and individuals desiring a more youthful or enhanced overall body shape.
Typically, the procedure spans a duration of 2-4 hours.
Administered under general anesthesia, or in cases of smaller targeted areas, local anesthesia with sedation, the surgeon marks the areas for fat extraction and injection before commencing liposuction. Extracted fat undergoes a purification process, and the surgeon meticulously injects it into the buttock tissue to achieve optimal contours.
Post-procedure, patients may experience swelling, pain, discomfort, and bruising. Advised to refrain from sitting directly on the buttocks to facilitate healing, prescribed pain medication and compression garments aid in managing discomfort and reducing swelling. Final results become evident over several months.
Typically lasting five years or more with proper maintenance and adherence to postoperative care guidelines, stability in weight plays a pivotal role in prolonging results.
You will have very small scars, on your lower back in the Venus dimples and under the creases of your butt cheeks. The scars are barely visible and easily hidden.
Immediate Post-Operative Period (First Week): During the first week after the BBL, patients are advised to avoid sitting directly on their buttocks to protect the newly transferred fat cells. Instead, they may use a special pillow or cushion when sitting. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common during this period. 2-3 Weeks: Patients are often advised to continue avoiding prolonged sitting and to sleep on their stomach or sides. Compression garments may be recommended to help minimize swelling and support the healing process. 4-6 Weeks: Most individuals can gradually resume light activities but should still avoid putting direct pressure on the buttocks. Exercise or strenuous physical activity may need to be limited during this period. 6 Weeks and Beyond: By six weeks post-surgery, many patients can gradually return to their normal activities, including sitting more comfortably. However, it's essential to follow the specific post-operative instructions provided by the surgeon. It's important to know that your body is unique, so recovery times may vary.
