Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL): Shaping the Buttocks With Your Own Fat
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) shapes and adds volume to the buttocks using your own fat. Fat is taken from another area (e.g. the abdomen, waist) by liposuction, purified, then injected to create a fuller, more proportionate buttock — while also sculpting the donor area.
Who Is It For?
- Wanting a fuller or more shapely buttock
- Having enough donor fat elsewhere
- Wanting to improve waist-to-hip proportion
- Wanting a natural result using your own tissue
A BBL combines two benefits: sculpting the donor area (liposuction) and adding buttock volume (fat transfer). Injection is performed carefully into the safe subcutaneous plane.
What to Expect
Frequently Asked Questions
Are BBL results permanent?
Some of the transferred fat is absorbed in the first few months (usually about 30–50%); the fat that settles after that is long-lasting while weight is stable.
Do I need to have enough fat?
Yes. A BBL uses your own fat, so a donor area with sufficient fat is needed. If fat is limited, other options can be discussed.
Are there restrictions on sitting afterward?
Sit using a special cushion to avoid pressure on the buttock area. Sleeping prone (on your stomach) is recommended for one month.
