What is Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is one of the most popular buttock enhancement procedures today. In this surgery, the surgeon harvests excess fat from the patient’s own body, processes it carefully, and injects it into the buttocks. This technique allows for a rounder, fuller, and lifted appearance, while also slimming other areas of the body.

Unlike silicone implants, no foreign materials are used, as the procedure relies entirely on the patient’s own fat tissue, resulting in a more natural look. Therefore, BBL is ideal for individuals seeking increased volume and lift in the buttocks without implants.

How is Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) Performed?

The BBL procedure typically takes 2–3 hours. First, the surgeon harvests fat from areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, or thighs using liposuction. Next, the harvested fat is purified with specialized equipment. Finally, the surgeon strategically injects the prepared fat into the buttocks, shaping and enhancing the area.

As a result, the buttocks appear fuller and lifted, while other areas of the body gain a slimmer and more contoured appearance.

Who is Suitable for Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?

BBL is performed not only to enhance aesthetic appearance but also to balance body proportions. It is particularly suitable for individuals who:

-Have lost volume in the buttocks and desire rounder, fuller curves

-Want to achieve a more aesthetic waist-to-hip ratio

-Prefer a natural method over implants

Have sufficient fat tissue (for those with limited fat, alternative methods or combined procedures may be recommended)

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) Procedure Steps

We perform Brazilian Butt Lift procedures in planned and controlled steps. The process includes:

Consultation and Assessment: In the first step, we thoroughly evaluate the patient’s body structure, expectations, and health status. During this process, we determine the most suitable technique for the individual.

Preparation and Anesthesia: The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia, with the surgeon prioritizing patient comfort and safety.

Fat Harvesting and Purification: The surgeon harvests fat from the waist, hips, or abdomen and purifies it using specialized methods, ensuring the fat is high-quality and viable for injection.

Fat Injection into the Buttocks: The purified fat is strategically injected into the buttocks, sculpting the area and achieving a symmetrical, natural-looking enhancement.

Recovery Process: After surgery, we recommend special garments and careful post-operative care for several weeks. Full recovery typically takes 4–6 weeks, although most patients can return to daily activities sooner.

Advantages of Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

The primary advantage of Brazilian Butt Lift is the use of the patient’s own fat, which ensures that the buttocks look natural and feel soft to the touch. Additionally:

  • The procedure simultaneously slims other areas while enhancing the buttocks’ shape.

  • Results are long-lasting, providing a durable improvement in body contours.

  • Patients achieve a more balanced and curvier body silhouette.

  • The use of natural fat eliminates the risk of implant-related complications.

Recovery Process

Recovery after Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) varies for each individual, but the general timeline is as follows:

  • Patients typically wear a special compression garment for 2–3 weeks.

  • During the first 10 days, sitting directly on the buttocks is discouraged; side-sitting or using a special pillow is recommended.

  • Swelling and bruising are normal but usually subside within 1–2 weeks.

  • In most cases, patients return to daily activities within 1–2 weeks.

  • Final results become apparent within 3–6 months. Following the surgeon’s post-operative instructions helps accelerate healing and optimize outcomes.

Techniques Used in Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

The BBL procedure can be performed using different techniques depending on the patient’s body type, expectations, and aesthetic goals. The most commonly used techniques include:

3D Body Contouring Techniques

3. 3D Body Contouring Techniques

This modern method considers the buttocks and the entire body silhouette as a whole. Using liposuction, the surgeon sculpts the waist, hips, and back, while enhancing buttock volume to achieve balanced body proportions. The result is a more curvaceous and aesthetically pleasing body silhouette.

Fat Transfer + Implant Combination

2. Fat Transfer + Implant Combination

For individuals with insufficient fat tissue, we use this combined method. In this technique, the surgeon combines a silicone implant with fat transfer to achieve a natural-looking result. The implant is placed under the gluteal muscle, followed by final contouring with fat injections, ensuring a balanced and aesthetically pleasing shape.

Traditional Fat Transfer (Fat Grafting)

1. Traditional Fat Transfer (Fat Grafting)

The traditional fat transfer is the foundation of Brazilian Butt Lift procedures. The steps in this technique include:

*The surgeon harvests fat from areas with excess tissue, such as the abdomen, waist, back, hips, or inner thighs, using liposuction.

*The harvested fat is filtered and purified using specialized methods.

*The prepared fat is injected into the buttocks in layers through special cannulas, allowing for gradual shaping and natural enhancement.
