About Brazillian Butt Lift
A Brazilian butt lift, often referred to as a BBL, is a body contouring procedure that enhances the shape and size of the buttocks by injecting it with unwanted fat from other areas of the body.
The Brazilian butt lift is a unique procedure because it uses a patient’s own body fat to augment the buttocks. This provides several benefits over dermal filler products, such as a lowered risk of infection, a higher success rate, and exceptionally long-lasting and natural-looking results.
With a Brazilian butt lift, patients also enjoy the benefit of removing fat from other areas of the body. As a result, patients often achieve significant improvements in the proportion of the figure, particularly more pronounced curves.

To prepare the day of your Brazilian butt lift, we suggest you wear loose, comfortable clothing with no jewelry or makeup. It is important that a friend or family member is present with you, as you will not be able to drive following the procedure. You may also need assistance at home for the first 2-3 days following your BBL. As each patient is different, so is each individual’s rate of healing. While recovering from a Brazilian butt lift, you may experience bruising, swelling and sensitivity in the treatment areas. These symptoms will improve greatly within the first two to three weeks. However, it is important to relax and avoid strenuous activities during this time. We also encourage patients to avoid sitting directly on the treatment area, as this may affect how the final results develop. Patients can expect to return to most normal activities within a week of treatment, and full recovery within about two months.
