A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) Surgery is a type of butt augmentation procedure used to enhance the size and shape of the buttocks. This procedure typically involves the harvesting of fat from an area of the body (such as the abdomen, hips, or thighs) and then carefully injecting it back into the buttocks using a specialized injection technique.
This helps to add volume and shape to the buttocks while also providing a more lifted and contoured appearance.
A good candidate for Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) Surgery is an individual who is in good physical health with realistic expectations for the results of the procedure.
Generally, the procedure is best suited for individuals who have enough fat in other areas of their body to use as a donor site, as well as those who have sagging or drooping buttocks that need to be lifted. Individuals who are seeking a more pronounced and enhanced buttock appearance may also benefit from the procedure.
BBLs are generally not considered to be overly painful. During the procedure, patients will typically experience some degree of discomfort related to the fat harvesting as well as the injections, but this is usually well-managed with anesthetics. After the procedure, patients may experience some soreness and bruising, but these effects should subside in the weeks following.
The most common side effects of a BBL include swelling, bruising, soreness, and numbness. These side effects typically subside within a few weeks following the procedure. Other potential side effects may include infection, skin irregularities, and fat embolism. In rare cases, changes in skin texture, asymmetry, and changes in sensation may also occur.
The recovery time for a BBL can vary depending on the individual and the extent of the procedure. Generally, it is recommended that patients allow for at least two weeks of recovery time before returning to work and other activities. Additionally, most patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities for at least 6 weeks following the procedure.
The results of a BBL can vary from person to person, but many people who undergo the procedure report a more youthful, refreshed appearance. The procedure can improve the contours of the face and the neck, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and improve the overall tone and texture of the skin. Additionally, a BBL can help reduce the appearance of dark spots, sun damage, and other discoloration.
A BBL, or Brazilian Butt Lift, typically lasts for about 10 years depending on the individual’s lifestyle, age and genetics. Any subsequent pregnancies will also affect the longevity of the results.
The cost of a Brazilian Butt Lift varies depending on the patient’s location, surgeon’s experience, and the extent of the procedure. Generally, the average cost of a Brazilian Butt Lift ranges from $7,500 to $15,000.
The amount of fat that can be transferred during a Brazilian butt lift varies depending on the patient’s body type and desired results. Generally, a maximum of 2-3 liters of fat can be safely transferred in a single session. The amount of fat transferred will also depend on the patient’s BMI, as fat transfer can be risky in patients with a BMI above 40.
The recovery time for a Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is typically 1-2 weeks. During this time, you should avoid sitting directly on your butt and engage in only light activity. After two weeks, you should be able to resume your normal activities.
Ideally, you should wear the compression garment for 4 to 6 weeks after your Brazilian butt lift surgery. The garment should be tight enough to provide support and some gentle compression, but not so tight that it restricts circulation or causes pain.
There are no major risks associated with wearing the compression garment, however, wearing the garment too tightly can be uncomfortable, and can increase your risk of infection or other complications. Therefore, it is important to make sure the garment is not too tight, and to follow your doctor’s instructions for how long and how tight to wear the garment.
Wearing the garment too tightly may not necessarily diminish the results of your surgery, but it can increase your risk of complications.
It is recommended to wait at least two weeks before sitting after a Brazilian butt lift. For the first two weeks, it is best to sleep on your stomach or side. Sitting incorrectly can affect the results of the surgery if it is done too soon or if too much pressure is put on the buttocks.
It is best to follow the instructions of your surgeon when it comes to sitting and sleeping during the recovery of a BBL procedure.
It is best to wait until your doctor clears you for sexual intercourse after BBL recovery. This is because sexual activities can increase the risk of infection and disrupt the healing process. Additionally, it is important to take your recovery time seriously and follow your doctor’s instructions in order to ensure that you heal properly.
The results of a Brazilian butt lift are typically seen immediately after surgery. However, it can take up to a year before the final results can be seen. The swelling usually dissipates within 6 to 12 weeks after surgery, but can take up to a year to completely disappear. The results of a Brazilian butt lift can last up to 10 years with proper diet and exercise.
Yes, a BBL can be dangerous if it is performed by an inexperienced provider or without following safety protocols. The procedure can cause serious complications such as infection, nerve damage, and scarring. It is important to thoroughly research the provider and ensure that all safety protocols are followed during the procedure.
Yes, it is possible to have a tummy tuck and a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) at the same time. This combination of procedures is commonly referred to as a “Mommy Makeover”. Depending on the patient’s anatomy and goals, the surgeon may recommend performing both procedures simultaneously or at separate times.

It’s important to note that the specific steps of a fat transfer procedure can vary depending on the technique used and the individual patient’s needs.
