What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is one of the most sought-after body contouring procedures, designed to enhance the size and shape of the buttocks using your own fat. Unlike buttock implants, the BBL uses autologous fat transfer, harvesting fat from areas with excess (such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or back) and strategically injecting it into the buttocks to create a fuller, rounder, and more lifted appearance. This procedure not only enhances your backside but also slims and contours the donor areas, creating an hourglass figure with balanced proportions. The BBL has become increasingly popular for its ability to provide natural-looking, dramatic results.
The Procedure
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes 3-4 hours. First, liposuction is performed on predetermined donor areas to harvest fat. Common donor sites include the abdomen, flanks, lower back, and thighs. The harvested fat is then processed and purified to concentrate the healthiest fat cells. Using specialized cannulas, the purified fat is strategically injected in multiple layers and locations throughout the buttocks to create the desired shape, volume, and projection. The surgeon carefully sculpts to ensure smooth contours and natural appearance. A fat survival rate of 60-80% is typical, with results becoming apparent after swelling subsides.
Ideal Candidates
Ideal candidates desire fuller, rounder buttocks, have adequate fat stores for harvesting, are at a stable weight, have good skin elasticity, are non-smokers, in good health, and can avoid sitting directly on buttocks for 2-3 weeks post-surgery.

Risks and Complications
Risks
- Fat Embolism: Serious complication if fat enters bloodstream (choose experienced surgeon)
- Fat Resorption: 20-40% of transferred fat may not survive
- Asymmetry: Uneven fat survival between buttocks
- Infection: Risk at injection or donor sites
- Seroma/Hematoma: Fluid or blood accumulation
- Contour Irregularities: Lumps or unevenness in buttocks or donor areas
- Skin Necrosis: Tissue death in rare cases

- Scarring: Small scars from liposuction incisions
Important Considerations
- Sitting Restrictions: Cannot sit directly on buttocks for 2-3 weeks (use BBL pillow)
- Sleep Position: Must sleep on stomach or side for 2-3 weeks
- Adequate Fat: Need sufficient donor fat for desired enhancement
- Weight Stability: Weight loss reduces transferred fat volume
- Smoking: Must quit for optimal fat survival
- Compression Garments: Wear on donor areas for 6-8 weeks
- Multiple Sessions: May need touch-up for additional volume
- Activity Restrictions: No exercise for 6-8 weeks
- Surgeon Experience Critical: Choose highly experienced BBL surgeon
