VIEW PHOTOSWhat Is a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?
A Brazilian butt lift is a procedure that enhances or augments the appearance of your buttocks, resulting in a more rounded overall look. It also removes fat from other parts of your body with liposuction. The fat removed is used to enhance the volume of your buttocks.
Unlike a arm lift or a bra line lift, a Brazilian butt lift does not improve an excess of sagging skin. Instead, it’s a fat transfer procedure that enhances your size and shape, giving you a fuller, curvier silhouette.
Benefits of Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery
BBL surgery reshapes and resculpts the buttocks for an hourglass shape. Many patients choose the procedure for these key benefits:
- Fat Reduction: A BBL not only enhances your buttocks but also helps eliminate unwanted fat from areas such as the stomach, thighs, hips, and love handles, resulting in a more contoured overall figure.
- Improved Body Proportions: By adding volume to your buttocks, a BBL enhances your body’s proportions, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing silhouette, whether you’re aiming for fuller curves or an hourglass shape.
- Quick Results: The benefits of a BBL are noticeable almost immediately after the procedure, allowing you to enjoy your enhanced shape without a long wait.
- Safe & Natural Enhancement: Since a BBL uses your own fat, there’s minimal risk of an adverse reaction, making it a safer alternative to artificial fillers or implants.
- Natural Look & Feel: BBLs offer a more natural appearance and feel compared to other augmentation options, providing results that blend seamlessly with your body and move naturally with it.
What Is A BBL Procedure Like?
The BBL procedure is a carefully staged experience that begins with liposuction to collect fat and then transitions to precise fat grafting to shape and enhance the buttocks. While learning about this procedure, patients of Dr. Morales are excited to hear about how long a Brazilian butt lift lasts, which is many years if you maintain a stable weight. The effectiveness of the BBL is due to the technique Dr. Morales employs and his ability to tailor the BBL procedure to your individual body.
BBL Surgery Step-by-Step Overview
- Like most cosmetic procedures, the Brazilian Butt Lift starts with anesthesia.
- Then Dr. Morales begins extracting donor fat cells using liposuction.
- The “donor” fat is typically collected from areas of your body that have some excess fat (lower portion of the back, hips, or the area below the buttocks). If additional fat is needed, other areas may also be treated with liposuction.
- Dr. Morales expertly injects the purified fat into the fatty tissue above the muscle of the buttocks and hips, using his extensive experience to sculpt a natural, aesthetically pleasing shape.
If desired, a BBL can be combined with other procedures, like a tummy tuck or breast augmentation, which will extend the overall surgery time. After recovery, our BBL patients are eager to try on clothes to see their newly enhanced shape!
How Dr. Morales Enhances Your BBL Results
To further enhance your results from a BBL, Dr. Morales offers multiple treatments that can be used during the surgery to achieve the stunning, sculpted appearance you desire.
Avéli® Cellulite Reduction
Avéli is an innovative treatment specifically designed to reduce the appearance of cellulite by targeting its structural causes. Cellulite occurs when fat deposits push through connective tissue beneath the skin, creating a dimpled or lumpy appearance, typically on the thighs and buttocks.
Avéli with BBL: Achieve Volume & Smoothing
During the procedure, a small, handheld device is inserted under the skin to sever the fibrous bands (septae) that pull the skin down, causing the dimpled appearance. By releasing these bands, Aveli smooths out the skin and reduces the visible signs of cellulite.
Combining a BBL with Avéli addresses both volume and dimpling, resulting in smoother, firmer skin in the treated areas. Recovery time is minimal, and patients can usually return to their normal activities within a few days. Results are typically long-lasting.
Renuvion® Skin Tightening
Renuvion is a cutting-edge treatment that combines helium plasma and radiofrequency energy to tighten and rejuvenate the skin. This treatment is particularly effective for areas with loose or sagging skin, often a concern for women undergoing mommy makeover surgery.
Renuvion with BBL: Enhance Volume & Firmness
Renuvion delivers controlled heat beneath the skin’s surface, causing immediate contraction of collagen fibers and stimulating the production of new collagen. The combination of helium plasma and radiofrequency energy allows for precise and targeted treatment with minimal damage to surrounding tissues. This dual-energy approach enhances the skin’s elasticity and firmness.
Patients typically see immediate skin tightening effects, with continued improvement over several months as new collagen forms. The treatment is minimally invasive, with a short recovery period and long-lasting results.
What Is BBL Recovery Like?
For most patients, the recovery is moderate. We encourage our BBL patients to fully participate in the healing process, as this helps ensure optimal and lasting results. Following the recovery guidelines is the final step towards a fuller, well-shaped backside.
- During the first part of recovery, your backside will be tender, and you may often feel somewhat sore, tired, and stiff.
- In the areas where liposuction was performed, you may experience some discomfort and swelling.
- Dr. Morales can prescribe pain medications to ease you through the process.
- Fluid drainage from the incisions, swelling, and mild bleeding are also common.
- Most patients return to nonstrenuous work about 1 week after surgery.
- Final results emerge about 6 months after the procedure.
Who’s a Good Candidate for a Butt Lift?
A good candidate for a butt lift is a healthy non-smoker who follows a healthy diet and exercise regimen. It is normal to have sagging below the buttocks, but the buttocks itself needs to be in good condition with good elasticity. Dr. Morales will evaluate your skin to determine if fat transfer and liposuction will deliver your desired results. Ideal candidates have sufficient fat that can be liposuctioned from areas such as the back, abdomen, hips, thighs, or flanks. Patients seeking more dramatic, predictable volume may be better candidates for a butt augmentation with implants.

How soon do you see Brazilian butt lift results?
After a Brazilian butt lift, you’ll notice an immediate change in the shape and size of your buttocks. However, these initial results will include some swelling. The final, more stable outcome generally becomes visible after about 6 months. This time allows the transferred fat cells to integrate into their new location and swelling or bruising to subside fully.
What’s the minimum age for Brazilian butt lift surgery?
While there’s no strict age limit for a Brazilian butt lift, it is recommended that patients be at least 18 years old and in good general health. Older adults should undergo a thorough medical evaluation with Dr. Morales to ensure they’re suitable candidates for the surgery and can heal adequately afterward.
When can you drive after a Brazilian butt lift?
You can usually resume driving about 1 week after a Brazilian butt lift. Sitting directly on your newly enhanced buttocks can compromise the results, so Dr. Morales recommends using a soft “booty pillow” for comfort.
