Buttock surgery

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL): contouring and projection with your own fat

It combines liposculpture in donor areas and fat transfer to the buttocks to improve proportion and curves, with a defined plan in evaluation.

What is it?

The BBL, also called Brazilian Butt Lift, is a surgery of the buttocks. body contour. The change comes not only from “turning up the volume”, but also from redefining the waist and torso and then give projection to the buttock with the patient's own fat.

The key is balance: how much you define around it, how much you project, and what looks natural to your body.

BBL: what changes and what does not change

Changes: waist to hip ratio, low back to buttock transition, projection and shape.
It does not change: bone structure, skin quality that does not match, nor an “identical” result to reference photos.

It is not a “fixed package”. In valuation we define what does and does not contribute. The goal is a more harmonious ratio, with realistic expectations and security first.

What does it usually include?

It is defined in assessment according to your anatomy, your goals and safety plan.

Liposculpture in donor areas. Areas that best change your silhouette are chosen.
Fat preparation. It is processed to transfer only the best quality for grafting.
Gluteal transfer. Fat is distributed for natural projection and shape.
Contour design. Priority is given to the transition from waist to hip so that the result looks integrated.
Care plan. Posture, support and mobility indications according to your case.
Follow-up. Controls to monitor inflammation, symmetry and graft evolution.

Important: we do not work with standard solutions. The extent, projection and type of result are decided only after medical assessment.

Who is it for?

The decision is not based on the “name” of the procedure. It is based on your anatomy and the type of curve that looks natural on you.

It could be for you if...

You want to improve gluteus and waist as a single target proportion.
You have enough donor fat for a realistic change.
You are looking for a natural result, not an exaggerated shape.
You can commit to postoperative care that protects the graft.

Alternatives should be evaluated if...

Your goal depends on extreme volume that your anatomy does not naturally support.
There is not enough donor fat for the result you imagine.
Your priority is to “sit normal” from the beginning without adjustments, because the postoperative period requires discipline.
There is significant sagging that may require another strategy to make the contour look firm.

Valuation for BBL: how we define your plan

Here it is defined if your case is BBL, a more discreet variant, or if another option is appropriate. The assessment is to align expectations and actual plan.

Target

What makes you uncomfortable and what would be a natural outcome for you.

Proportion

Waist, hip and transitions that really change your silhouette.

Donor

Where to get fat from and how feasible it is for your goal.

Gluteal design

Projection, shape and balance to avoid artificial results.

Plan and follow-up

Care, posture, massages when indicated and scheduled check-ups.

“A clear plan, with aligned expectations, defined next steps and space to resolve doubts.”

The procedure, explained in simple terms

The BBL is a full contouring surgery. It is not just about “buttock lift”, it is about proportion design.

Contour 360. Change begins by defining waist, flanks and lower back.
Accurate transfer. Fat is layered for shape and symmetry.
Naturalness first. You are looking for a curve that looks yours, not “on”.
Safety as a criterion. The technical plan is decided in appraisal and executed with a safe plane approach.
Recovery protecting the graft. The first few weeks matter as much as the operating room.

Preparation (before surgery)

Practical checklist to arrive at the operating room with everything under control.

Recovery and follow-up

Typical chronogram: the evolution is progressive.

Days 1-3
Swelling and stiffness. Priority is given to safe mobility and positions that avoid direct pressure.

Days 4-7
Routine adjustments, short walks and care of treated areas as indicated.

Subsequent weeks
The graft is protected with posture and support habits. The contour is defined as the swelling goes down.

Months 3-6
The result stabilizes as the graft integrates and tissues settle.

The medical follow-up allows to adjust care and resolve doubts as the patient's evolution progresses.

Risks and considerations

BBL is a procedure that requires technique and postoperative discipline. Most importantly, the plan must be realistic and the follow-up must be consistent.

Swelling and bruising. Expected part of the process and is monitored.
Mild asymmetries. They are evaluated in controls as the inflammation decreases.
Hardening or irregularities. They are prevented and managed with the indicated care.
General risks of surgery. They are reviewed in evaluation according to your history.

These points are explained individually during the appraisal.
