A Brazilian Butt Lift is a specialized procedure that allows for a larger buttock area without the use of implants. The procedure involves the transfer of fat from another part of the body into the buttock - creating a fuller look.

This fat can be removed from the thighs, lower back, abdomen, or hips with
liposuction and then injected into the buttock area. So, why have the
procedure?

The Brazilian Butt Lift procedure can take away unwanted fat from areas of
the body while simultaneously enhancing the buttock area. This can help to
create curves where they may not be any, reduce fat pockets in other areas
of the body, help clothes to fit better, and boost overall confidence. There
are lots of factors that make someone a good candidate for the Brazilian
Butt Lift procedure.

You may be a good candidate if you:
 

• Want to enhance your buttock without implants

• Have good skin tone in the hip and buttocks area

• Have decent fat stores to allow for removal and injection into the buttock

• Willing and able to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for several weeks

This is not a “lifting” procedure- despite the name. It does not address any
sagging skin in the area- only enhances. If you are worried about sagging,
you may consider a thigh or buttock lift instead of this procedure. The BBL uses one’s own natural fat and can produce a more natural-looking result, unlike buttock implants.

A Brazilian Butt Lift involves three basic steps:
 

• Fat is removed from the lower back (flanks), upper back, abdomen,
  and/or other areas with liposuction

• The extracted fat is purified and prepared for transfer

• The cosmetic surgeon injects the fat into specific points on the buttocks to increase volume and improve shape
   

A portion of the newly injected fat may not “take” in its location- so your
surgeon may initially inject more fat into the area to give the overall look
and results you want. The procedure is an outpatient procedure done with
general anesthesia.
 

Recovery for the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure is unique. You will not be able
to sit directly on your buttocks for one week after the procedure. During
recovery, you will have to sleep on your side or your stomach and either lie
this way or stand for all activity except for using the toilet. After the first
week of recovery, your surgeon will walk you through sitting in a modified
position using a “donut” pillow, which places less pressure on the buttock
area. Normal sitting activity is allowed after around 8 weeks.
 

The BBL procedure is meant to give a result that will last years. The fat
taken from liposuctioned areas will not return. Fat that was transferred into
the buttock and stayed put will last for years to come. However, weight
fluctuations in extreme levels of gain or loss can affect your result, so make
sure to maintain your weight or the gains or loss to achieve the overall
result you want.
 

Most plastic surgery procedures are not covered by your insurance, as they
are considered elective procedures. Talk with your surgeon about any
possible financing options prior to your surgery to help with costs.
