The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) Surgery Guide

Explore the transformative world of Brazilian Butt Lift surgery, where contouring meets enhancement for a shapelier you.

What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

A Brazilian Butt Lift, or BBL, is a groundbreaking cosmetic procedure that sculpts and enhances your buttocks using your body's own fat. Through liposuction, excess fat is harvested from specific areas and then strategically injected into the gluteal region, improving both size and shape to achieve a beautifully lifted appearance.

Where Does the Fat Come From?

In the quest for your dream derrière, we utilize liposuction to extract fat from various areas of the body, including the:

  • Abdomen
  • Flanks
  • Upper/lower back
  • Neck
  • Arms
  • Thighs
This process not only sculpts those trouble spots but also enhances your curves.

Who is an Ideal BBL Candidate?

Ideal candidates for a BBL are those seeking to refine their contours and achieve a fuller, more sculpted buttock profile. Candidates should have:

  • Good skin elasticity
  • Be in generally good health
  • Stable weight
  • Realistic expectations for the procedure

Fat Removal Limitations

For outpatient procedures, we adhere to safety guidelines by limiting fat and fluid removal to 5 liters in one session, ensuring your well-being throughout the process.

Where Does the Fat Go?

The harvested fat is delicately injected into the subcutaneous layer around your buttocks, avoiding complications while delivering stunning, natural-looking results.

Fat Injection Quantity

The amount of fat injected varies based on individual goals and tissue laxity, typically ranging from:

  • 100cc for minor contour adjustments
  • Up to 1100cc for significant enhancement
This compensates for natural fat absorption.

BBL Recovery Process

While swelling, soreness, and bruising are common, many patients find relief with minimal pain medication, often returning to daily activities within days. Post-procedure, a compression garment aids in swelling reduction, while minimizing pressure on newly augmented areas.

Swelling and Bruising Duration

Expect bruising to subside within 1-2 weeks, with swelling gradually diminishing over 6-8 weeks, though individual experiences may vary based on treatment specifics.

Results and Timeline

Witness immediate enhancements post-procedure, with final sculpting visible within 6-8 weeks as swelling resolves and fat settles, revealing your desired silhouette.

Repeat Procedures

Should you desire further enhancement, additional procedures can be considered based on remaining fat volume and desired outcomes.

BBL Cost Considerations

Embark on your BBL journey with confidence, knowing our comprehensive packages start at $11,500, covering surgeon's fees, facility expenses, and anesthesia costs for a transformative experience.
