A Brazilian Butt Lift, commonly referred to as a BBL, is a type of cosmetic surgery performed for the purpose of buttock augmentation. Fat grafting is used to enhance the size, shape, and fullness of the buttocks by transferring fat from other parts of the body. This procedure has become increasingly popular due to its ability to provide natural-looking results while improving body contour in multiple areas. By using your own fat, the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure ensures that the augmentation feels soft and looks proportionate to your body.
The BBL procedure is a multi-step process involving liposuction, fat purification, fat transfer, and fat injection.
This outpatient procedure typically lasts between 2 to 4 hours and is performed under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation.
A Brazilian Butt Lift is a cosmetic procedure ideal for individuals looking to enhance the shape, size, and symmetry of their buttocks. The procedure can treat several concerns, including:
A Brazilian Butt Lift offers several benefits, making it one of the most sought-after body contouring procedures. Unlike implants, a BBL uses your own fat for a more natural look and feel. The liposuction process also carries the added benefit of contouring areas like the stomach, hips, and thighs, providing an overall body transformation.
Our experienced plastic surgeon, Dr. Karcutdkie, tailors the procedure to your specific goals and body shape for a personalized, beautiful outcome. In addition, he places the fat under ultrasonic guidance to reduce the chance of intravascular injections of fat. And since the fat is injected, the incisions are small, leading to minimal visible scarring.
The ideal candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift procedure is someone who desires fuller, more shapely buttocks and has enough fat available for liposuction. You may be a great candidate if you:
During your consultation, our plastic surgeons will determine if the BBL is right for you based on your body type and aesthetic goals.

The recovery process after a Brazilian Butt Lift requires care and patience to ensure optimal results. You will need to avoid sitting or lying down directly on your buttocks for the first two to three weeks after the procedure to allow the transferred fat to settle and develop a proper blood supply. A compression garment is worn to help reduce swelling and support your new body contour during the healing process. Most patients can return to work and light activities after 10-14 days, though more strenuous activities should be avoided for at least six weeks.
Results from a Brazilian Butt Lift are long-lasting, with most patients seeing final outcomes within six months. The body will naturally absorb a small percentage of the transferred fat, but the remaining fat cells will integrate with the tissue for permanent enhancement. You can enjoy your new figure for years by maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
The amount of fat required for buttock augmentation varies based on your body type and desired results. Your surgeon will assess how much fat can be safely harvested and transferred during your consultation.
It’s crucial to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for the first few weeks to allow the fat to heal and integrate. Special pillows can be used to help you avoid pressure on the area.
Recovery from a Brazilian Butt Lift typically takes about 2-3 weeks. During this time, patients should avoid sitting directly on their buttocks and sleep on their stomach or side. Full results may take a few months to appear as swelling subsides.
With proper care, the results of a Brazilian Butt Lift can last for many years. Maintaining a stable weight is essential for long-lasting outcomes.
Like any plastic surgery, the Brazilian Butt Lift carries certain risks. Risks associated with a BBL include infection, scarring, and fat embolism. However, at Youthful Images, we follow strict safety protocols to minimize these risks and ensure your procedure is safe.
