Brazilian Butt Lift

• What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

  This body contouring surgery is unique from other buttock procedures as it uses your own body fat to contour the area instead of a gluteal implant. The fat grafting or fat transfer method allows for less recovery time and ensures natural-looking results. The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is an ideal option for anyone unhappy with their buttock contour. Many of our Manhattan patients want the BBL to address body changes from age, pregnancy, or weight loss.

  The BBL procedure begins with removing unwanted fat using liposuction from troublesome areas such as the “love handles,” thighs, hips, or arms. That fat is repurposed and processed using a centrifuge to provide rounder, perkier buttocks. We will inject the cleaned fat cells into your buttocks to give the size and shape discussed during your consultation. The Brazilian Butt Lift takes between two and four hours to complete and varies based on how much enhancement is needed and from where the fat cells are removed.

  Our surgeons can answer your BBL questions during your consultation. We will not recommend cosmetic surgery or treatment unless it’s the best way to reach your aesthetic goals safely and effectively. Our surgery team will do their best to fit your procedure into your busy schedule, which should be done at least one or two months before a big event or vacation.

• Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery and Results

  The BBL recovery period is crucial to your final results because proper care and following instructions will provide maximum fat survival. This is an outpatient procedure, which means you can go home shortly after your Brazilian Butt Lift, but you’ll need a friend or family member to drive you. We recommend taking one week off of work to focus on your healing. You can resume light physical activity such as walking right away for faster recovery.

  As with any surgical procedure, there’s a rare risk of bleeding, infection, or fat absorption. That is why we provide patients with your doctors personal cell phone numbers so they can be notified right away in case there’s a complication or urgent question.

  You will notice your buttocks are fuller and curvier immediately after your Brazilian Butt Lift. These initial results may be shapelier than you intended, but this is because of swelling and the fact that your body will naturally absorb some of the transferred fat cells. Because liposuction is used to collect the fat, you’ll notice a slimmer contour in that body area. Your final BBL results will settle in approximately two or three months after your procedure. These results are long-lasting if you stick to a healthy lifestyle with proper diet and exercise.
