Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is performed to achieve a fuller, rounder, and more contoured appearance in the buttocks area. It is accomplished by injecting fat cells taken from different parts of the body into the buttocks. Beyond aesthetic appearance, it is tailored for individuals aiming to balance the waist-to-hip ratio. BBL helps redefine natural body contours, aiming to enhance the silhouette aesthetically.

What is a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?

 Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a natural body contouring procedure performed by injecting fat into the buttocks after it is harvested from the person’s own body and purified through special processes. Thanks to this procedure, the buttocks become fuller, perkier, and rounder, while excess fat in areas such as the waist, back, abdomen, and thighs is removed, improving the overall body contour.

 One of the biggest advantages of BBL is that the buttocks are reshaped using only the body’s own tissue, without the need for silicone implants. This provides a more natural appearance and a lower risk of complications. The fat removed by liposuction is purified with a special technique and injected into the buttocks in layers using a microinjection method. In this way, both a slimmer waist and a curvier, more aesthetic lower body silhouette are achieved.

Why is Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) Performed?

BBL surgery is preferred for reasons such as balancing body proportions, enhancing self-confidence, and achieving better fit in clothing, in addition to its aesthetic benefits. It is an ideal solution for individuals who are dissatisfied with the appearance of their buttocks or who have lost volume in the area due to aging, weight loss, or genetic factors.
 Some reasons for undergoing BBL include:

  • Adding volume to naturally flat or small buttocks

  • Shaping sagging or deflated buttocks after weight loss

  • Rejuvenating buttocks that have lost their form due to aging

  • Enhancing overall body contours by removing fat from areas like the waist, back, and abdomen

  • Creating a proportional body and a feminine silhouette

  • Providing a permanent solution for individuals who did not achieve sufficient results with non-surgical methods

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) - Before and After

What Are the Types of Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?

BBL procedures can be planned using different techniques depending on the individual’s body type, fat distribution, and desired results. The most common BBL types include:

This is the most commonly performed method. Fat is typically taken from the abdomen, waist, and back and injected into the buttocks. It slims the waist while adding volume to the buttocks, ideal for creating natural curves and feminine contours.

Liposuction is performed on the waist, abdomen, back, and flanks. The entire body is contoured to highlight the buttocks. This technique maximizes the waist-to-hip ratio and provides a complete silhouette transformation.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?

BBL is suitable for individuals with good overall health and sufficient fat tissue, with no medical condition that would prevent surgery. Ideal candidates are those who meet the following criteria:

  • Those with volume deficiency in the buttock area: Individuals with naturally flat buttocks or who have lost volume with age

  • Those with suitable areas for fat harvesting: Individuals with sufficient fat in the abdomen, waist, back, or hips

  • Those with good skin elasticity: The skin must be firm and elastic to allow the fat to distribute evenly

  • Non-smokers: Smoking delays tissue healing, so it should be stopped before and after the operation

  • Those with realistic expectations: Patients who understand that the result is unique to their body and desire a change that suits their structure

  • Those who can follow postoperative care instructions: Individuals who can adhere to rules such as sleep position and sitting restrictions

How Long Is the Recovery Period After Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?

The recovery period after BBL generally lasts 2 to 6 weeks. Pain, swelling, and bruising in the first few days are normal. Key recovery guidelines include:

  • No direct sitting on the buttocks for the first 2–3 weeks

  • Sleeping face down is recommended

  • Special compression garments and a BBL pillow must be used (for 4–6 weeks)

  • Light walking can begin from the 2nd week

  • Wait at least 6–8 weeks for sports and intense exercises

  • Final results become visible within 3 to 6 months

Frequently Asked Questions About Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

BBL surgery offers long-lasting results; however, not all of the injected fat cells will survive. Generally, 60% to 80% of the fat injected into the buttocks remains permanently. The remaining portion is naturally absorbed by the body. To increase permanence, it is important to follow the recovery process carefully, avoid direct pressure, and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Significant weight changes may affect the buttock shape over time.
