Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a procedure that enhances the size and shape of the buttocks using the patient’s own fat. During the procedure, fat is liposuctioned from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, then purified and re-injected into the buttocks to achieve a fuller, more youthful contour. This procedure not only increases volume but also improves the overall shape and lift of the buttocks, providing natural-looking results. Ideal for individuals looking for a non-silicone option for enhancement, the BBL can create a more proportionate and balanced silhouette. Recovery time can vary, but most patients can expect noticeable results once fully healed, with a more sculpted and lifted appearance.
Key Benefits of Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
A Brazilian Butt Lift enhances and sculpts your curves using your own natural fat. It adds volume and shape to the buttocks while slimming areas like the stomach, waist, and thighs through liposuction. The result is a fuller, lifted silhouette with a smoother, more sculpted body contour. Because it uses your body's own fat, results look natural, feel soft, and evolve beautifully with your figure over time.

Recovery After Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
Following a BBL, you can expect swelling, tenderness, and tightness in the treated areas for the first couple of weeks. Sitting directly on your butt is avoided for around 2 to 3 weeks to protect the transferred fat, and a special pillow is used once you start sitting again. Light movement begins early to support healing and prevent stiffness, but gym workouts and heavy activity are paused for about 6 weeks. As swelling settles, your shape becomes more defined, and final results take shape over 3 to 6 months as the fat integrates and smooths out naturally.
Avoid sitting directly on buttocks for 2–3 weeks
Compression garment for 6–8 weeks
Light walking after a few days
Gym + lifting pause for ~6 weeks
Results refine 3–6 months as fat settles
Sleep on your stomach or side for the first few weeks to protect the grafted fat
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients return to light daily activities in about 1 to 2 weeks. Full recovery and return to workouts typically take 6 weeks.
When can I sit normally after a BBL?

Are the results permanent?
Yes, the fat that survives after the healing phase becomes permanent. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve results.
How long before I see final results?
Swelling settles gradually, and final shape and contour become visible around 3 to 6 months.
Will I lose some of the transferred fat?
