What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
A Brazilian Butt Lift, often called BBL, is a cosmetic surgery that reshapes and enhances the buttocks using your body’s own fat. Instead of implants, this procedure relies on fat transfer, which makes the results look and feel more natural.
During the treatment, extra fat is gently removed from areas like the stomach, waist, or thighs, then purified and injected into the buttocks to create a rounder, more balanced shape. This way, you get a slimmer contour in the areas where fat is taken out and a fuller, lifted look in the buttocks.
BBL has become one of the most popular procedures worldwide because it offers two benefits in one — body contouring and buttock enhancement. It’s all about achieving curves that feel natural and suit your body type, following today’s beauty trends that highlight a shapely, confident figure.
Preparation for Brazilian Butt Lift
Getting ready for a BBL starts with a one-on-one consultation with our expert surgeons who specialize in body contouring. During this visit, we take the time to understand your goals, review your health history, and examine your body shape to make sure the procedure is safe and right for you.
We’ll go over important details like any past surgeries, medications, or health conditions that may affect your treatment. Our surgeons will also walk you through every step of the process—from how fat is removed and purified to how it’s carefully injected to enhance your curves.
To help you set realistic expectations, we’ll share before-and-after photos of previous patients so you can see what’s possible for your body type. Our goal is to make sure you feel fully informed, comfortable, and confident before moving forward.
Key Preparation Steps :
Medical tests, including blood work, EKG, and other assessments to ensure surgical readiness Smoking cessation at least 4 weeks before surgery to improve healing capacity and reduce complications Discontinuing blood-thinning medications and supplements as directed by our surgeons Reaching a stable weight and maintaining good nutrition to optimize fat quality for transfers
Arranging transportation and aftercare assistance for the first 24-48 hours post-procedures Preparing recovery supplies, including prescribed medications, compression garments, and a BBL pillow Following specific pre-operative instructions regarding fasting requirements before the treatment day
BBL Procedure: A Step-by-Step Overview
Anesthesia
Before any surgery, we make sure the patient is completely comfortable. For a Brazilian butt lift, we usually use general anesthesia so you don’t feel anything during the procedure. In some cases, if the procedure is smaller, local anesthesia with sedation may be enough.
Harvesting Excess Fat Cells
The first step of the procedure focuses on liposuction, where fat is gently removed from selected areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or back. Our skilled surgeons carefully extract the excess fat through tiny, discreet incisions using advanced tools. This step not only provides the fat needed for enhancing the buttocks but also helps shape and smooth the donor areas, giving you a more balanced and natural-looking silhouette.
Purification and Preparation
After the fat is harvested, it goes through a careful cleaning process. This step is important to remove blood, fluids, and any damaged cells, leaving only healthy fat cells. Techniques like spinning the fat in a centrifuge, filtering, or letting it settle naturally are used to ensure that only the best-quality fat is kept, ready for re-injection.
Fat Transfer
Next, the purified fat is gently injected into the buttocks using specially designed cannulas. Our surgeons carefully layer the fat at different depths to give a smooth, natural shape. Each injection is thoughtfully planned to ensure both sides are balanced, creating the fuller, beautifully contoured look you want.
Add-On Procedures
Thigh Lift
A thigh lift is a highly sought-after procedure that often complements BBL surgery. It helps remove excess fat and loose skin from the inner and outer thighs, giving your legs a smoother, firmer appearance. This treatment enhances the overall shape of your body, creating beautifully balanced, contoured legs that perfectly highlight the fuller curves of your BBL results.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) helps remove extra skin and fat from your abdomen while tightening weak muscles, giving you a smoother and firmer belly. When combined with a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), it offers complete body shaping—flattening your stomach and lifting your buttocks for a fuller, curvier look. This combo creates a stunning hourglass figure, enhancing your waist-to-hip ratio and giving your body a more balanced, proportionate appearance.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation helps improve the size and shape of your breasts using either implants or fat transfer. When combined with a BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift), it creates a naturally balanced look between your upper and lower body. This combined approach allows surgeons to shape your curves in one surgical session, which means less overall recovery time compared to doing each procedure separately.
Recovery After Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery
First 24 Hours
The first 24 hours after a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) are very important for a smooth recovery. During this time, your body is adjusting to both the liposuction and the fat transfer to your buttocks. You may notice some swelling, bruising, or mild discomfort in both the areas where fat was taken and where it was placed.
It’s important to keep the buttocks properly elevated and avoid sitting directly on them, so the transferred fat can settle correctly. You might need a little help moving around during this period, but following these simple steps will support better results and a more comfortable recovery.
Week 1
The first week is all about healing. During this time, swelling and bruising are at their highest, which is completely normal. To protect your results, avoid sitting or lying directly on your buttocks. Using a BBL pillow can make a big difference—it cushions your buttocks and helps you maintain the right posture.
Taking proper care now is key for keeping the transferred fat and preventing complications. Follow your doctor’s advice on compression garments, as they help reduce swelling and improve circulation. Gentle, light movement is good for your body, but avoid any strenuous activity until your surgeon says it’s safe.
Week 2–4
By the second week, many patients start noticing that swelling and discomfort are slowly decreasing. The healing process is still underway, so it’s important to keep avoiding any pressure on the buttocks. The transferred fat needs a few more weeks to fully settle into the surrounding tissues. Bruising also begins to fade during this time. It’s essential to keep wearing your compression garments and stay alert for any signs of infection or other complications. Physical activity should still be gentle—only light exercises are recommended at this stage.
Month 2–3
At this stage, most of the swelling has gone down, and many patients are able to get back to their usual activities. Your buttocks are starting to take their final shape, though the transferred fat may need a few more weeks to fully settle. While the majority of swelling has decreased, it’s important to continue being careful when sitting and to keep using your BBL pillow as instructed. Depending on your surgeon’s advice, you may still wear compression garments. A follow-up visit will be scheduled to check your progress and make sure the fat has settled properly.
Month 4–6
By this stage, most of the swelling has usually gone, allowing the final shape of the buttocks to become visible. The transferred fat has settled, giving you a clear idea of the permanent results. Some minor swelling may still be present, which is completely normal. Most patients can safely return to their regular physical activities. It’s important to keep monitoring your progress and follow up with our surgeon as recommended to ensure a smooth recovery.

Individuals seeking buttock augmentation without implants People with enough body fat for transfer Those looking for a natural approach to enhance their buttocks Candidates with good overall health and no severe medical conditions

Benefits of Brazilian Butt Lift
Enhanced Buttock Shape and Volume
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) enhances the shape and fullness of your buttocks naturally. By using your own fat, our expert surgeons sculpt and lift your backside for a rounder, more balanced look. This personalized approach ensures your curves harmonize perfectly with your body, giving you a confident, flattering silhouette.
Natural-Looking Results
Unlike traditional buttock implants, a BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) uses your own fat for enhancement, giving you a natural, soft look and feel. The fat cells blend smoothly with your existing tissue, creating curves that look and move naturally—no artificial appearance. Our skilled surgeons carefully place the fat to sculpt balanced, natural contours that complement your body.
Dual Contouring Benefits
One of the biggest benefits of a BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) is its ability to reshape multiple areas at once. While it enhances the shape and volume of your buttocks, it also removes unwanted fat from areas like the abdomen, hips, or love handles. This means you not only get a lifted, fuller butt but also a more balanced and contoured body overall. The fat that’s removed is repurposed to enhance your curves, giving you natural-looking results and smoother body proportions.
Long-Lasting Results
A Brazilian butt lift can give long-lasting results when done properly. While some of the transferred fat may be absorbed by the body at first, the fat cells that successfully connect to your blood supply stay permanently. These cells act just like your natural fat, so they can grow or shrink with your weight changes. With a healthy lifestyle and stable weight, the improved shape and volume of your buttocks can be enjoyed for many years.
Cost of Brazilian Butt Lift in Los Angeles
The cost of a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) in Los Angeles usually ranges from $8,000 to $20,000. Prices vary depending on the surgeon’s experience, the complexity of the procedure, and the facility used. High-end areas like Beverly Hills tend to have higher prices because top board-certified surgeons bring years of expertise and an artistic touch to their work.
These costs generally cover everything you need for a safe and smooth experience, including pre-op consultations, anesthesia, surgical facility fees, post-op garments, and follow-up appointments. Be cautious of offers that seem “too good to be true,” as very low prices could mean compromises in safety or quality.
