What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

A Brazilian butt lift, or BBL, is a body contouring procedure that enhances the volume and shape of your buttocks using your own natural fat. Unlike implants, a BBL relies on fat transfer to provide a lifted appearance while slimming and shaping other areas of your body.

This procedure involves two main steps:

  1. Dr. Benjamin gently removes excess fat from areas such as the entire abdomen, flanks, and/or back using VASER liposuction.

  2. After carefully purifying the fat, he strategically injects it above the gluteal muscle with a special cannula using a safer technique to sculpt natural-looking, smooth contours.

Preparation may include:

The Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure

A typical BBL procedure takes about 2 to 4 hours, depending on the extent of liposuction and the amount of fat transferred. Dr. Benjamin uses small incisions and advanced equipment to reduce trauma, promote faster healing, and minimize scarring.

Anesthesia
A BBL is performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation to ensure a comfortable, pain-free experience. Throughout the procedure, your safety and comfort are closely monitored by a skilled anesthesia team.
Dr. Benjamin makes several small, discreet incisions in targeted areas to perform liposuction and fat transfer. These tiny entry points allow precise access for fat removal and injection while keeping scarring minimal and easily concealable.
Common donor sites for liposuction include the abdomen, flanks (“love handles”), lower back, thighs, or arms—wherever you have unwanted fat deposits. Dr. Benjamin often combines liposuction from several areas to maximize sculpting and provide a more dramatic transformation.
Once the fat is gently removed, it is carefully purified to separate healthy fat cells from fluids and impurities. This ensures that only the highest quality fat is prepared for transfer, increasing the chances of long-lasting results.
After processing, the purified fat is meticulously injected into the buttocks above the gluteal muscle using a special cannula. Dr. Benjamin’s surgical artistry comes into play as he shapes and contours your buttocks to achieve smooth, symmetrical, and aesthetically pleasing curves.
Once the injected fat has been carefully sculpted, Dr. Benjamin closes the small incisions with fine sutures to minimize scarring. You will be given detailed post-operative care instructions to protect the injected fat and support your healing process, helping you maintain your enhanced shape for years to come.

Add-on Procedures

Lipo 360

Lipo 360 is a comprehensive liposuction technique that targets fat deposits all around the midsection—including the abdomen, waist, flanks, and lower back—to create a smooth, contoured silhouette from every angle. By addressing the entire circumference of the torso, Lipo 360 enhances the results of your Brazilian butt lift, helping to accentuate your new curves and achieve a balanced, hourglass figure. This approach allows Dr. Benjamin to sculpt your body more precisely, removing stubborn fat pockets that diet and exercise alone cannot eliminate.

Renuvion skin tightening uses advanced helium plasma and radiofrequency energy to gently contract and firm loose or sagging skin. This minimally invasive treatment can be combined with your Brazilian butt lift to improve skin elasticity and smoothness in the treated areas, enhancing overall contour and texture. Renuvion is ideal for patients who want to achieve tighter, more youthful-looking skin without extensive surgery or prolonged downtime, complementing your fat transfer results for a beautifully refined finish.

Recovery After Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery

Most patients return home the same day. Expect initial swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which will gradually improve over one to two weeks.

Aftercare Tips

For the first 2 to 3 weeks, you will need to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks. Use a BBL pillow or modified positions to protect the transferred fat. Incisions for liposuction and fat transfer are tiny and placed discreetly. With proper aftercare, most scars fade and become barely noticeable.
Most swelling resolves within six weeks, but your final shape will emerge over 3 to 6 months as the transferred fat settles and integrates. Results are long-lasting when you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. Some initial fat may be reabsorbed, but the remaining fat becomes a permanent part of your body.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift?

You may be a good candidate for a BBL if you:

For optimal results, you should be near your target weight. Dr. Benjamin will advise if slight weight adjustments could benefit your outcome, but extreme weight gain or loss is not recommended.
A personal consultation is essential to determine candidacy. Dr. Benjamin will evaluate your anatomy, discuss your goals, and answer your questions to ensure the BBL is the right fit for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much fat can be taken for a BBL?

The amount depends on your body type and goals. Dr. Benjamin will safely harvest enough fat to enhance your buttocks while maintaining smooth, natural contours elsewhere.

Typically, about 60-80% of the transferred fat survives long-term. Some resorption is normal and factored into your surgical plan.
The results of your buttock augmentation can last for many years, especially if you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. While some of the transferred fat may be reabsorbed in the first few months, the fat that survives becomes a permanent part of your body. Significant weight gain or frequent weight fluctuations can affect the shape and size of your results over time. For the most lasting outcome, it’s essential to follow all post-operative instructions and avoid major changes in body weight.
Unlike silicone implants, which are synthetic and placed deep into the buttock muscles, a Brazilian butt lift uses your own body fat to enhance volume and shape. This fat grafting approach allows Dr. Benjamin to use harvested fat from other areas of your body, creating a more balanced contour. Because the fat integrates with your natural tissue, the results look natural. We also use advanced techniques to reduce the risk of volume loss once healing is complete. The result is a more natural appearance, with the added benefit of liposuction in other areas. After complete healing, BBL offers long-lasting, subtle enhancement without the feel or risks of implants.
To prepare for your consultation, be ready to discuss your goals for the fat transfer procedure and the areas you would like to improve. Dr. Benjamin will evaluate your fat distribution and determine if you are a good candidate. You should also share your medical history, current medications, and lifestyle habits. If you plan to proceed with surgery, it is best to begin making arrangements about two weeks in advance, such as adjusting medications and arranging time off from work. Most patients return to normal activities within a few weeks of surgery, with gradual improvements continuing over time.
If you gain weight, transferred fat cells can increase in size, potentially affecting your results. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve your new shape. If you start accumulating extra fat, we highly recommend losing weight as soon as possible to return to your normal range.
Swelling is a natural part of the healing process and typically begins to subside within a few weeks. During this time, it is common for the buttocks to feel firm before they start to feel natural again. To reduce swelling and support proper fat retention, Dr. Benjamin will provide post-operative instructions, including compression wear and guidance on sitting or lying positions. Avoiding certain medications and following your care plan closely can help optimize your recovery and support your desired results.
Yes. You can enhance your results by combining your BBL with other body contouring procedures, such as a tummy tuck or thigh lift.
