Candidates

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift?

To be considered a good candidate for a BBL, patients should:

  • Be within approximately 15 pounds of their goal weight.
  • Have sufficient excess fat for transfer to the buttocks.
  • Be in relatively good health and free from serious medical conditions.
  • Have realistic expectations for their surgical results.
  • Commit to maintaining a stable weight post-surgery.

Smokers should stop smoking before and after surgery to optimize healing and recovery. Your surgeon will assess your candidacy during a personalized consultation.

Techniques

The Procedure Process

A Brazilian Butt Lift involves three key steps:

Fat Harvesting

Excess fat is removed from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or love handles using liposuction. A small cannula is used to gently extract the fat.

Purification and Transfer

The harvested fat is processed to remove impurities and prepared for reinjection using small syringes.

Fat Injection

Tiny incisions are made in the buttocks, and the purified fat is strategically injected into natural tissue planes to achieve the desired shape and contour.

Each step is carefully performed to ensure long-lasting, natural results.

Recovery and Aftercare

After surgery, patients will wear a special compression garment to minimize swelling and support healing. Here’s what you can expect during recovery:

  • Swelling and Bruising: Common in areas where fat was harvested; managed with medication, ice and compression.
  • Activity: Patients are encouraged to walk within 24 hours. Vigorous exercise should be avoided for approximately four weeks.
  • Sitting Precautions: Avoid sitting directly on the buttocks for at least eight weeks to allow proper fat integration. A surgical pillow will be provided after surgery.
  • Sleeping: Sleep on your stomach or side to prevent pressure on the buttocks.

Our team provides post-surgical supplements like Arnica-Bromelain to reduce swelling and bruising, promoting a smoother recovery.

Results of a Brazilian Butt Lift

Patients typically notice improvements in their body’s contours within four to six weeks, with final results becoming visible once swelling subsides at about three months. It’s important to note that up to 40% of transferred fat may not survive, but the remaining fat cells will integrate permanently into the buttocks.

Maintaining a stable weight is essential to preserving your results. Excessive weight fluctuations can alter the shape and contour of your BBL.

Risks and Considerations

While a Brazilian Butt Lift is generally safe, it’s important to understand potential risks, including:

  • Infection
  • Scarring
  • Fat embolism (a rare complication when fat enters the bloodstream)
  • Asymmetry or uneven results
  • Loss of transferred fat cells

Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon at The Centre, P.C., significantly reduces these risks. Our team prioritizes patient safety and satisfaction at every step of the process.
