For many women, a round, perky derriere is the ultimate body goal. For those who have worked hard to get their bodies into shape, but find their efforts aren’t quite enough to create the full bottom they dream of, a Brazilian Butt Lift offers a safe and effective solution.

This popular procedure uses autologous fat transfer to sculpt the backside. This means excess fat tissue from the patient’s own body is liposuctioned from various areas of the skin and injected into the buttocks to add fullness, projection, and a more rounded shape. While this is a relatively common method of enhancing the buttocks, there are important differences in technique and quality that can make or break the results.

During the BBL procedure, our board-certified plastic surgeon will first give you general anesthesia or intravenous sedation. He will then insert a small instrument, called a cannula, into the skin. This will extract the fat tissue, which will then be meticulously purified and rinsed to ensure it can survive in its new location.

The cannula must be very carefully maneuvered to avoid blood vessels and nerves, as any contact may cause pain, bleeding, or death. For this reason, the most experienced cosmetic surgeons will usually inject a slightly larger amount of fat than necessary to ensure the final results closely match your goals. When the surgery is complete, you will be taken to a recovery room and rest for a few hours before being discharged. butt lift
