Shape Your Confidence: Elevate Your Curves with a Brazilian Butt Lift

Boost your body confidence and achieve the beautiful, natural curves you desire at Salas Plastic Surgery. Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), otherwise known as liposuction with fat transfer to buttocks, is used to enhance your buttocks' volume and shape, providing a more balanced and youthful appearance. This procedure augments your buttocks and improves your overall body contour by removing excess fat from other areas. Experience the transformation by enjoying a more harmonious and confident silhouette.

What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the size and shape of your buttocks without implants. Excess fat is removed from various parts of your body, purified, and then strategically injected into the buttocks to improve roundness and contour. This method uses natural fat, resulting in a more natural look and feel. The BBL is ideal for those seeking to enhance their curves and achieve a more proportional figure.

When Should I Consider a Brazilian Butt Lift or Buttock Sculpting?

You should consider Brazilian butt lift surgery if you are experiencing sagging of the buttocks or are unhappy with your buttocks’ shape and/or size. Another reason to get a Brazilian butt lift is when you experience a loss of volume in the hip region, often referred to as “hip dips.” Improving these can contribute to a nicer overall curve for a more attractive silhouette.
If you have lost a considerable amount of weight, you may want to consider a Brazilian butt lift. A Brazilian butt lift can reshape square, flat buttocks and restore curves to those who have lost their buttock shape as they age.

Brazilian Butt Lift Techniques

When performing a traditional BBL, the surgeon makes multiple small incisions for liposuction and reuses those on the lower back to inject the fat into the buttocks for transfer. Liposuction allows your surgeon to remove the fat, smooth the abdominal area, and shape the flanks and back areas to create those coveted curves. Brazilian butt lift scars are hidden in the lower back, where clothes and swimsuits can easily conceal the incision.

Benefits of a Brazilian Butt Lift

Enhanced Buttock Volume
This procedure significantly adds volume to the buttocks, creating a fuller, more rounded profile that enhances the body's overall shape.
Improved Body Contour
This procedure effectively improves the body's contour by reducing fat in targeted areas through liposuction and transferring it to the buttocks, achieving a more harmonious silhouette.
Natural-Looking Results
Since the procedure uses your body’s fat, the results are natural in both feel and appearance, avoiding the artificial look sometimes associated with implants.
Dual Benefit
The process enhances the buttocks and slims down areas with excess fat, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, providing a dual benefit in one procedure.
Minimally Invasive
The surgery involves only tiny incisions strategically placed and easily concealed, resulting in minimal visible scarring.
Boost in Self-Esteem
Many patients experience a significant enhancement in body image and confidence, feeling more comfortable and satisfied with their appearance.

How Does a Brazilian Butt Lift Work?

The procedure starts with liposuction, where fat is harvested from your abdomen, hips, or thighs. This fat is then processed and injected into specific buttocks areas to create a fuller, more sculpted appearance. The technique enhances the natural curve and shape of the buttocks while slimming the donor areas. Dr. Salas ensures precise placement of the fat for optimal, long-lasting results.

Alternative and Combination Techniques

When performing a traditional BBL, the surgeon makes multiple small incisions for liposuction and reuses those on the lower back to inject the fat into the buttocks for transfer. Liposuction allows your surgeon to remove the fat, smooth the abdominal area, and shape the flanks and back areas to create those coveted curves. Brazilian butt lift scars are hidden in the lower back, where clothes and swimsuits can easily conceal the incision.
Combination procedures, such as a Brazilian butt lift and augmentation, are also very popular. In a combined procedure, the different techniques complement each other to achieve major transformations such as a perfectly round buttock, tight skin, and no visible scarring.
Alternative techniques to Brazilian butt lift are as follows:
A non-invasive treatment device that stimulates 25% muscle building and thus creates a fuller appearance by building the gluteal muscles.
For people who are not candidates for Brazilian butt lift surgery, buttocks implants also create a rounded buttocks. However, this procedure is associated with higher complications.
An alternative treatment is collagen-stimulating ultrasound therapy which may create a subtle lift.
Brazilian butt undergarments augment the appearance of your buttocks by holding them up to mimic their youthful roundness.
An exercise program that targets the buttocks muscles increases the gluteal muscles for a more significant, fuller appearance.

Candidates for Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery

You may be a good candidate for a Brazilian butt lift or buttock sculpting when you meet the following criteria:
  • You are active and in good health.
  • You understand the possible outcome ranges.
  • You can take the time to stay off the buttocks for the recommended healing phase.
  • You do not have any medical conditions that are not stable and under control.
  • You do not smoke as it can interfere with healing, kill all the transferred fat cells and increase the healing time.
  • You have sagging or loss of shape in the buttocks area.
  • You have sufficient fat to transfer to the buttocks area.
A consultation with our team in Miami can help determine if a Brazilian butt lift is the best procedure for you to achieve the shapely curves you desire. They can also help you better understand how liposuction is related to this procedure and determine potential donor areas for the fat.

Risks of a BBL

One primary risk of Brazilian butt lift surgery is that the recovery may be slower if you are more than 15-20 pounds overweight. Smokers are also at increased risk as smoking decreases the blood flow to the surgery site, resulting in slower healing and increased tissue complications such as losing the transferred fat.

At the consultation, the Brazilian butt lift surgeon will explain the different risks and risk factors for this procedure. Dr. Salas will also ask about your lifestyle and general health. Once you have approval as a candidate, the surgeon will work with you to customize a liposculpture with fat transfer that meets your personal goals and aesthetic desires.

Preparation for a Brazilian Butt Lift

Proper preparation for a Brazilian Butt Lift makes the surgery more effective and the recovery a bit easier. Before the surgery, you will be given a to-do list, including prescriptions to take, items to purchase for post-surgery recovery, and any lifestyle changes that may be necessary.
You should also arrange a ride to and from the surgery center as you will not be able to drive after anesthesia. You will also not be able to drive for 1-2 weeks after the surgery on average, so make sure to plan for assistance in grocery shopping, deliveries, and other essential needs.
Prepare an area of the house where you can rest comfortably on your stomach for an extended period. Wear loose clothing the day of surgery and arrive at the surgery site early to ensure you are not rushed or stressed.

Recovery after a Brazilian Butt Lift

For the first four weeks, you cannot lie on the surgical site of fat grafts.
Your surgical site will have a drain for 1-week post-operation, which the doctor will remove at a follow-up visit. Expect to wear a compression garment for the buttocks region for at least three months.
Get plenty of rest, stay hydrated and eat healthy to maximize your recovery. You should begin to feel great a few weeks after the procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the recovery after a Brazilian Butt Lift?

Scarring is minimal, and the incisions are strategically placed to be as inconspicuous as possible, ensuring they are less noticeable.

The results of a Brazilian Butt Lift can be long-lasting. While some volume may be lost especially in the first few weeks, you should be able to keep a good amount provided you maintain a stable weight and follow post-operative care instructions.

It is rare that patients do not have enough fat for the fat transfer procedure, as Dr. Salas specializes in thin patients “skinny BBL’s” using even the smallest volumes to create attractive curvy shapes.

To ensure the best results, it is crucial to follow all pre- and post-operative care instructions, including avoiding sitting directly on your buttocks for the prescribed period, wearing your compression garment consistently, and attending all follow-up appointments.
