A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is an aesthetic surgical procedure that involves transferring fat from other areas of the body to the buttocks to enhance their size, shape, and firmness. The procedure is performed under anesthesia and generally takes a few hours to complete.
HOW IS A BBL PERFORMED?
First, the surgeon will perform liposuction to remove excess fat from areas of the body such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, or back. Then, the fat is purified and injected into the buttocks to achieve the desired size and shape.
WHAT BENEFITS DO I GET FROM A BBL?
A Brazilian Butt Lift can help you achieve a more proportionate and attractive figure by enhancing the size and shape of your buttocks. The procedure is minimally invasive and utilizes your own fat, so there is no risk of allergic reactions or rejection. Additionally, the recovery time is relatively short, with most patients able to return to work within a week.

Who is a good candidate for a bbl?
Ideal candidates for a BBL are in good physical health and have excess fat in other areas of their body that can be used for the procedure. It is also important for patients to have realistic expectations and be willing to carefully follow postoperative care instructions.
Preparation:
Before surgery, patients will need to avoid smoking and certain medications that can increase the risk of bleeding. They may also need to undergo blood tests and other medical evaluations to ensure they are healthy enough for the procedure.
Recovery:
After surgery, patients will need to avoid sitting or lying on their backs for several weeks to allow the newly transferred fat to settle in its new location. They may also experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort for several days following the surgery. The surgeon will provide detailed instructions on how to care for the surgical site and when it is safe to resume normal activities.
If you are considering a Brazilian Butt Lift, it is important to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in performing the procedure.
