What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a specialized fat transfer procedure that augments the size and shape of the buttocks without implants. The process involves two main steps: first, fat is removed from other areas of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, using liposuction. This harvested fat is then purified and carefully injected into specific areas of the buttocks to improve volume, lift, and contour.

Your BBL Journey Overview

Personalized Consultation

Your BBL journey begins with a private consultation. We’ll discuss your goals, evaluate your anatomy for candidacy, and outline a tailored surgical plan to achieve your desired curves.

The BBL Procedure

On the day of your surgery, your surgeon performs liposuction to harvest fat from donor areas, purifies it, and then strategically injects it to enhance and sculpt your buttocks.

Post-Operative Recovery

After your procedure, you will enter a recovery period focused on healing and protecting the new fat grafts. This involves wearing a compression garment and avoiding direct pressure on your buttocks.

Enjoying Your New Shape

Final results will emerge over several months as swelling resolves and the fat settles. With a stable weight, you can enjoy a permanently fuller, more contoured silhouette.

Consultation and Preparation

Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Martin Benjamin. This is an opportunity to discuss your goals, review your medical history, and have your questions answered. Your surgeon will evaluate your body to determine if you have sufficient fat stores for the transfer.

Based on your consultation, a personalized surgical plan will be developed. This plan outlines the areas for liposuction and the strategy for fat injection to achieve your desired buttock shape and volume. You will receive detailed pre-operative instructions to help you prepare.

To ensure you are ready for surgery, you will be asked to follow specific guidelines, which may include stopping certain medications and maintaining a stable weight. Proper preparation is key to a successful procedure and recovery. Our team will guide you through every step.

Anesthesia and Comfort

Fat Removal via Liposuction

Your surgeon will begin by performing liposuction on the predetermined donor areas. Small, discreet incisions are made to insert a cannula, which is used to gently suction out the excess fat. This part of the procedure not only harvests the necessary fat but also slims and contours the donor areas.

Step 3 of procedure timeline

Purification of Fat Cells

The collected fat is then transferred to a sterile system that separates the viable fat cells from blood and other fluids. This purification process is essential for maximizing the survival rate of the transferred fat. Only the most robust fat cells are selected for injection.

Enhancement through Fat Grafting

Finally, the purified fat is carefully injected into the buttocks using small syringes. Your surgeon will meticulously layer the fat injections to sculpt the desired shape, improve projection, and create a natural-looking result. The incisions for the injections are tiny and typically do not require sutures.

Recovery After Your BBL

Your Immediate Post-Op Period

Following your Brazilian Butt Lift, you will be fitted with a special compression garment. This garment helps to reduce swelling in both the liposuction areas and the buttocks, and it provides support as you heal. You will be monitored in our recovery area before being released to go home.

Managing Comfort and Activity

Discomfort is typically manageable with prescribed medication. You will be advised to avoid sitting or lying directly on your buttocks for several weeks to protect the newly transferred fat cells. Specialized pillows and cushions can help you maintain this position comfortably.

Follow-Up Appointments

You will have several follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress. These check-ins allow your surgeon to ensure everything is healing as expected and to address any questions you may have. Most patients can return to light daily activities within a week or two.

Seeing Your Final Results

While you will notice an immediate change in your body shape, final results will become apparent as swelling subsides and the transferred fat settles. This process can take several months. The result is a durably enhanced and more proportionate lower body contour.

Happy Patients, Real Confidence.
