A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a cosmetic surgery procedure that enhances the size and shape of the buttocks through fat transfer or implants. By augmenting the buttocks, the BBL operation aims to create a more balanced and attractive body contour. The procedure is known for its ability to produce natural-looking results, with the added benefit of contouring the donor areas where fat is removed.
During a BBL operation, fat is harvested from one or more areas of the patient's body using liposuction, then purified and reinjected into the buttocks to achieve the desired volume and shape. Alternatively, silicone implants may be used in cases where a patient lacks sufficient fat for transfer. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation and typically requires a recovery period of several weeks.

General anesthesia or IV sedation is administered to ensure patient comfort during the procedure. The surgical area is then cleaned and prepped accordingly.
For fat transfer Procedures, liposuction is used to extract fat from one or more donor areas, such as the abdomen, hips, or thighs. This process involves making small incisions and using a cannula to suction out the fat.
Once the fat has been harvested, it is purified through a centrifugation process to separate the viable fat cells from other components. This ensures that only the highest quality fat is used for transfer.
For fat transfer BBLs, the purified fat is strategically injected into the buttocks at varying
The traditional BBL technique involves removing excess fat from donor areas such as the abdomen or thighs using liposuction. The fat is then purified and carefully injected into the buttocks to enhance their shape and size.
The SAFELipo technique is a newer approach to BBL surgery that involves using liposuction to remove fat, but also includes a step called "fat equalization." This step involves re-injecting the extracted fat back into the donor area to create a more even and natural-looking contour.
The VASERLipo technique uses ultrasound technology to target and break down fat cells in the donor area. This method may be used in conjunction with traditional or SAFELipo techniques to enhance the results of BBL surgery.
While surgical approaches are the most effective for achieving significant changes in buttock size and shape, there are non-surgical alternatives available such as injectable fillers or buttock implants. These options may be suitable for patients who desire a more subtle change or are not good candidates for surgical Procedures.
Complications and the frequency with which they occur may vary depending on the technique used.
As with any surgery, there is a risk of infection. To minimize this risk, patients are advised to follow post-operative care instructions and take any prescribed antibiotics as directed.
Excessive bleeding or a collection of blood (hematoma) may occur post-surgery. In rare cases, additional surgery may be needed to address the issue.
During fat transfer, there is a slight risk of fat particles entering the bloodstream and causing a blockage, which could lead to serious complications. Surgeons take precautions to minimize this risk.
Uneven fat distribution may result in an irregular appearance of the buttocks. In some cases, a revision surgery may be necessary to correct the issue.
As with any procedure requiring anesthesia, there is a risk of complications related to the anesthesia itself, such as an allergic reaction or respiratory problems.
Tingling sensation (paresthesia) is a temporary side effect and will resolve with time.
