The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a cosmetic surgery that enhances the shape and volume of the buttocks using your body’s own fat. This is done through liposuction to harvest fat from areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, followed by purification and injection of that fat into the buttocks.
Unlike butt implants, BBL provides natural-looking, soft results while also slimming the areas where fat was removed—creating a more contoured and proportionate body shape.
You may be a good candidate for BBL if you:
Want to enhance your buttock shape and size naturally
Have enough fat in donor areas (abdomen, flanks, back, thighs)
Are in good general health and at a stable weight
Do not smoke or are willing to stop before and after surgery
Have realistic expectations about volume and shape
Note: Very slim individuals may not have enough fat for a traditional BBL but might benefit from alternative methods like implants or skinny BBL.
Medical evaluation and lab tests will be conducted
Smoking, alcohol, and blood thinners must be stopped in advance
You’ll be instructed to stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet
Photos and body measurements will be taken
You’ll discuss target areas for both fat removal and enhancement

No. Typically, 60–80% of the transferred fat survives long-term. Your body absorbs the rest during the first few weeks. Proper aftercare improves fat retention.
Not directly for the first 2–3 weeks. Use a BBL pillow and avoid prolonged sitting to protect the fat grafts during the critical healing phase.
Yes—once the fat stabilizes (after 3 months), the results are long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight.
When performed by an experienced, board-certified surgeon following modern safety protocols, BBL is safe. Fat is injected only into the subcutaneous layer (not the muscle) to avoid complications.
Yes. BBL is often combined with tummy tuck, breast lift, liposuction 360, or body contouring for full-body enhancement.
Common donor areas include the abdomen, waist, lower back, inner/outer thighs, and arms—allowing you to contour the entire figure in one procedure.
No. A BBL should be tailored to your body proportions. Surgeons work with your frame to create balanced, natural-looking results.
Yes. If your body allows, you can have a touch-up or additional volume later. Some patients do staged BBLs for more dramatic results.
Not at all. Men may seek BBL or gluteal enhancement for shape, symmetry, or correcting asymmetry. The technique is adjusted for masculine proportions.
You can begin light walking after a few days. Full workouts, especially glute-targeted training, should wait until 6–8 weeks, with surgeon approval.
