A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a cosmetic surgical procedure that enhances the size and shape of the buttocks using the patient's own fat. This is done through liposuction to remove fat from other areas of the body, such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, which is then purified and injected into the buttocks.

The recovery period after a BBL typically lasts around 2-3 weeks for initial recovery, with patients advised to avoid sitting or lying directly on their buttocks during this time to ensure proper fat survival. Full recovery, including final results, can take up to 6 months as swelling subsides and the body adjusts to its new contours.

Our staff will work with you to determine if you are a good candidate for this treatment.

While generally safe when performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon, a BBL carries risks such as infection, fat embolism, asymmetry, scarring, and complications related to anesthesia. Ensuring the procedure is performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon in an accredited facility can minimize these risks

The results of a BBL can be long-lasting, often many years, provided the patient maintains a stable weight and follows a healthy lifestyle. However, significant weight fluctuations and aging can affect the appearance of the buttocks over time.

Ideal candidates for a BBL are individuals who have sufficient fat stores in other parts of their body for liposuction, are in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and are looking to enhance the shape and size of their buttocks. A consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon is essential to determine if a BBL is right for you.

The best way to find out if you are a candidate for a surgical bbl is to book a free consultation with one of our Aesthetic Experts.  If for some reason, you are not, we may suggest our non-surgical bbl.

Preparation for a BBL surgery involves several steps to ensure a safe procedure and optimal results. Patients should stop smoking and avoid certain medications that can increase bleeding, such as aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs, for at least two weeks prior to surgery. It's also important to maintain a healthy diet, stay hydrated, and follow any specific pre-operative instructions given by the surgeon, including arranging for post-surgery care and transportation.

Post-operative care after a BBL is crucial for a smooth recovery and achieving the best results. Patients should follow their surgeon’s instructions, which typically include wearing a compression garment to reduce swelling, avoiding sitting or lying directly on the buttocks for at least two weeks, and attending follow-up appointments. Pain and discomfort can be managed with prescribed medications, and light activities can usually be resumed after a few days, with full activities typically resumed after 4-6 weeks.
