Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) or fat transfer to the buttocks is essentially two procedures in one, a fact that many people may not realize. The first part involves liposuction to remove fat from targeted areas of the body, and the second part is the careful transfer of that fat to the buttocks. For the best results, both steps need to be executed with precision. If the liposuction procedure leads to contour irregularities, the overall appearance of the buttocks will be compromised, no matter how good the fat transfer looks.
To ensure the success of the BBL, the fat needs to be collected with great care to preserve its vitality. Afterward, each fat cell must be transferred meticulously to the target area to maximize its chances of survival. This careful approach is essential to achieve a natural-looking, smooth, and well-contoured result.
Am I a candidate for Brazilian Butt Lift?
In order to be a candidate for this procedure, the patient’s body must have sufficient fat accumulation in the “donor” area for fat transfer. Common areas of fat collection include the abdomen, arms, sides, and thighs. This way of strengthening the hips in this way actually provides patients with a somewhat dual procedure – liposuction in a targeted area followed by hip augmentation.

What Does Brazilian Butt Esthetics Cover?
To begin the procedure, your surgeon will perform liposuction on the targeted donor area. The fat is then collected and prepared for injection into the buttock in small doses. For patients with a more “square” butt shape, liposuction can also be performed on the outer areas of the hips. Extra fatty tissue can be injected into the buttocks to compensate for the significant amount of adipose tissue that the body typically reabsorbs.
What Can I Expect During the Brazilian Butt Healing Process?
You may feel slight swelling and pain after your surgery, but this will gradually pass within the first month. You will temporarily wear a compression garment to help the hip maintain its new shape and control swelling. Although not all of the injected oil is retained, the results are often long-lasting and can ultimately result in a fuller, more voluptuous appearance.
Can I Have a Non-Surgical Butt Lift?
While Brazilian butt lift gives the most important results for patients who want a larger buttock, Sculptra esthetics can be used as a non-surgical butt lift technique. Often referred to as “Sculptra butt lift” or “liquid butt lift,” this alternative bulking method involves injecting the Sculptra esthetic formula under the skin to help stimulate collagen. Composed of poly-L-lactic acid, Sculptra esthetics works to restore the skin’s structure to help the area plump naturally. The treatment can also help remove cellulite or dimpling and can also lift hips when aging causes sagging skin. Results from a non-surgical butt lift with Sculptra esthetics typically last up to two years, if not longer.
