What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

The proportion and shape of person’s buttocks are often determined largely by genetics. Sometimes, a healthy diet and exercise is not enough to achieve the buttocks shape that you desire. A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is a procedure that uses fat transfer to augment the size and shape of the buttocks. Excess fat from other areas of the body like the abdomen, hips, lower back, or thighs is collected and injected into the buttocks.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift?

Individuals who wish to enhance the curves of their lower body, reduce fat pockets on their belly, hips, or thighs while enhancing the buttocks, or enhance proportions between the upper and lower body can often benefit from a Brazilian butt lift. Individuals who wish to achieve a buttock augmentation without implants choose the BBL procedure. The best way to determine if you are a good candidate for this procedure is through a consultation with one of our plastic surgeons.

Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure

The Brazilian butt lift procedure is achieved through three steps, including:

  1. Liposuction: Excess fat is removed from the abdomen, hips, lower back, or thighs using liposuction.
  2. Purification and Transfer: This extracted fat is then purified by placing it into a centrifuge, which separates the purified fat cells from the rest of the material. The purified fat is then transferred into syringes.
  3. Injection: The fat is injected into specific areas on the buttocks to increase overall volume and improve shape.

Dr. Mahabir is absolutely the best! His qualifications are impeccable and he put me at ease from the beginning. My face lift is a complete work of art! I can’t say enough! If you are looking for cosmetic surgery, look no further! I will definitely return for another procedure! ”

Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery

Following a Brazilian butt lift, discomfort is usually minimal and can be controlled with pain medication. You should not sit or lie directly on the buttocks for about two weeks after surgery. You will also need to sleep on your stomach or side. Your plastic surgeon will instruct you on when you can sit down in a modified position using a donut pillow to prevent pressure on your buttocks. Patients can usually sit normally after about eight weeks and can return to work within two weeks.  Your plastic surgeon will provide you with specific instructions on how to properly care for your buttocks during recovery for the best possible results.

The results from a Brazilian butt lift are meant to be long-lasting. The fat cells that were removed using liposuction will not return to the area, and the fat cells that survive in the buttocks will remain for years to come. Significant weight fluctuations, however, may affect your results.

Brazilian Butt Lift FAQs

How much does butt injections cost?

The most common butt injection is to use your own fat (like in the BBL or Brazilian butt lift). With this operation fat is taken from one area where you dont want it (think tummy, love handles, upper / lower back) and then put into another area where you do want it (buttocks). The cost of the operation depends on how much liposuction you want performed and how much fat you want injected: surgery is customized to you. The cost ranges from $12,000 to $20,000 (Our prices are all inclusive: the consult, all pre-operative visits, the surgery, anesthesia and surgery center, as well as all post-operative visits and garments). Please call us or click here to contact us regarding a private consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons.

How can I get a bigger butt fast?

Yes, you can get have a larger, fuller backside in a single, safe outpatient surgery. The Brazilian buttock lift or BBL, is an operation where fat is taken from one area where you dont want it (think tummy, love handles, upper / lower back) and then put into another area where you do want it (buttocks). It really is a win-win operation.

How long do butt injections last?

When you use your own fat for butt injections (like in the BBL or Brazilian butt lift), the injections and the result is permanent. The fact re-establishes a new blood supply in the buttock and will live forever. If you gain weight, it will get larger and if you lose weight, it will get smaller. It is the most natural, long lasting result. You can also inject fillers into your buttocks but (not pun intended) they last for a limited amount of time.

What is it called when you take fat from your stomach to buttocks?

The Brazilian buttock lift or BBL, is an operation where fat is taken from one area where you don’t want it (think tummy, love handles, upper / lower back) and then put into another area where you do want it (buttocks). It really is a win-win operation. Another name for this is fat grafting.

What is the recovery time for fat transfer to buttocks?

You will be up and walking the same day and most of the discomfort subsides in a few days. There may be a drainage tube for a short period of time to ensure fluid does not build up. You will be asked to avoid sitting for prolonged periods of time for at least two weeks and when you do sit, there will be a special pillow to use. This is very important because sitting can damage the fat. You will need to sleep on your side or stomach. You should not engage in any vigorous physical activity for at least 2-3 weeks after surgery. Short walks are okay in the first week. You could chip and putt (if you are a golfer) by the third week. And by week four you are almost back to normal.

What is used for buttock injections?

The most common butt injection is to use your own fat (like in the BBL or Brazilian butt lift).

You can also inject fillers into your buttocks but (not pun intended) they last for a limited amount of time. Fillers are best when there is only a small area to be injected.
