Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a popular body contouring surgery that enhances the shape, volume, and projection of the buttocks using the patient’s own fat. Fat is harvested via liposuction from areas such as the abdomen, waist, back, or thighs, then purified and injected into the buttocks. This dual approach sculpts both the waistline and buttocks, creating a more defined, curvier silhouette with natural results.
Concise Technical Summary
Liposuction is performed in multiple areas, typically 360° around the torso, to collect fat. The fat is carefully processed and injected into the buttocks in multiple layers and planes. No implants are used. The goal is to enhance not just volume, but also the contour and projection, while improving waist-to-hip ratio.

Bruising lasts 10–14 days
Swelling significantly improves in 3–4 weeks
