What is the Brazilian Butt Lift?
The Brazilian butt lift is one of the fastest-growing cosmetic surgeries in the U.S. This butt enhancement surgery is popular among both men and women and offers individuals an effective way to have fuller, shapelier buttocks without the use of implants. Weight fluctuations, aging, gravity, and hereditary characteristics can all lead to a flat and shapeless rear end. Today, a rounder, more voluptuous butt is considered ideal and the look many are trying to attain. Using your own fat, the Brazilian butt lift adds volume to the buttocks to create that rounded look so many desire. The process is accomplished through a uniquely specialized fat transfer process using liposuction to take unwanted fat from one area of your body to create that more shapely butt. It takes an artistic eye to perfect this procedure, and with many years of training, experience, and learned skill, our doctors can create natural, gorgeous results at Sublime MD & Advanced Dermatology & Laser Center for our patients.

Can I Get a Brazilian Butt Lift?
One of the most important aspects of being a good candidate for a Brazilian butt lift is to ensure you have enough fat to extract for the removal, grafting, and transfer process. If you have a lighter body weight or have limited fat to harvest, you may not be a candidate for this surgery. It is also really important that you have healthy skin laxity. If you have sagging skin, you may be a better fit for a surgical butt lift. If you are at a healthy weight, have unwanted fat to extract, and do not want to use an implant, this enhancement surgery can be a great option for you.
How is the Brazilian Butt Lift Performed?
This outpatient procedure uses general anesthesia and in most cases takes around 2 – 3 hours, depending on the quantity of fat that is being liposuctioned and reinstated. Liposuction will be completed first in order to extract fat from areas on the body, such as the thighs, flanks, and lower back. The fat tissue is protected from the air since it is purified in a closed and sterile centrifuge device. After this process, viable and healthy fat tissue is separated and placed into syringes ready for the injections. From there, the extracted fat tissue is reinstated in layers, followed by a gentle massage to ensure the surface is even and smooth. This process is repeated numerous times until the desired result has been attained.
What is Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery Like?
After your Brazilian butt lift, you will be sent home to heal. Remember, there are two sections on your body that need to be monitored — the area(s) where the fat was liposuctioned and your buttocks. In both places, there will be some overall discomfort and swelling. It is important to not place unnecessary weight on the buttocks for the two weeks following your surgery. After the swelling has subsided, results will become noticeable, but usually, the full outcome is seen after about 4 – 6 weeks. Your booty will look round and shapely — and even better, the areas that had fat removal may even appear slimmer.
Brazilian Butt Lift FAQs
How much does a Brazilian butt lift cost?
The total cost for your Brazilian butt lift (BBL) includes the cost of fat transfer, liposuction, anesthesia, facility fees, and pre- and post-operative care. Once a treatment plan has been developed, our doctors can provide you with a cost estimate. It’s best to concentrate on choosing a surgeon you trust, like our doctors, so we will work with you to make your BBL affordable. Our practice accepts many forms of payment and can give you information on low-interest financing.
How long will my results last?
Although some fat might be reabsorbed after the procedure, most of the transferred fat will remain in the new location for a long time. To keep your results, you need to maintain a steady weight because significant weight gain or loss will affect the results of your Brazilian butt lift. This is why our doctors recommend that you be at or near a healthy, stable weight before your BBL.
Will a Brazilian butt lift remove loose skin?
The name of the surgery, Brazilian butt lift, is confusing since it’s not really a butt lift, which surgically removes excess skin from the buttocks. However, the extra volume added to your buttocks during a Brazilian butt lift may fill out some loose skin. During your consultation, our doctors can discuss your options based on your goals.
How do you prepare for a Brazilian butt lift?
Our team will provide specific instructions on how to prepare for your Brazilian butt lift. These may include information about diet and medications to avoid. We also recommend stopping smoking at least several weeks before and after BBL surgery, as this habit can cause complications and delay the recovery process.
Will my Brazilian butt lift results look natural?
Our doctors are skilled plastic surgeons who perform BBLs with the goal of providing patients with results that look and feel natural. During your consultation, our doctors will assess your current shape and proportions to develop a treatment plan designed to give you the most flattering outcomes possible. We also use the latest techniques to minimize scarring.
Can I sit after a BBL procedure?
After a BBL, we recommend avoiding sitting directly on your buttocks for at least 2 weeks to prevent pressure on the fat grafts. Use a donut pillow or a BBL pillow when you must sit to distribute your weight away from the treated area. After this initial period, limited sitting is often allowed with the use of cushions for support and comfort.
