Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is a surgical procedure to augment and shape the buttocks using the body’s own fat. The procedure combines liposuction and fat injection to augment and contour the buttocks, resulting in a natural and aesthetically pleasing result.
Why a Brazilian Butt Lift?
A well-shaped and voluminous buttock is a sign of youth and attractiveness. With a buttock lift, patients can augment their buttocks while simultaneously removing excess fat from other areas of the body. This procedure offers a natural alternative to implants and improves the overall appearance of body contours.

The Intervention
The Brazilian Butt Lift is usually performed under general anesthesia and involves several steps:
- Liposuction: Fat is removed from donor areas such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, or flanks. These areas are infiltrated through small incisions, and the fatty tissue is suctioned out using fine cannulas.
- Fat Preparation: The removed fat is cleaned and processed to obtain pure fat cells for injection.
- Fat Injection: The processed fat is injected into the buttocks in multiple layers to add volume and achieve the desired shape. The surgeon carefully sculpts the fat to ensure a smooth and natural result.
Benefits of the Brazilian Butt Lift
- Natural Results: The use of the body’s own fat tissue ensures a smooth and natural augmentation of the buttocks.
- Combined Body Contouring: Removes excess fat from problem areas and adds fullness to the buttocks.
- Long-lasting Results: Unlike implants, the BBL offers long-lasting and natural results.
- Increased Self-Confidence: A well-shaped buttock can significantly increase self-confidence and satisfaction with one’s appearance.
After the Operation
Slight swelling and bruising are normal after surgery and typically subside within a few weeks. Patients should wear special compression garments and avoid sitting on their buttocks for a few weeks to protect the fat cells and ensure optimal results. Most patients are able to return to social activities after about two to three weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a good candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?
You’re a good candidate if you have excess fat in other areas of your body that can be used for fat grafting, and you’re in good overall health. After a thorough on-site assessment, Dr. Ingold can tell you whether you’re a good fit for this procedure.
What is the difference between a Brazilian butt lift and buttock implants?
A Brazilian butt lift uses the body’s own fat obtained through liposuction and injected into the buttocks, while buttock implants use synthetic materials to add volume.
Does health insurance cover the costs of a Brazilian butt lift?
Since this is an aesthetic procedure, the costs are generally not covered by health insurance.
How long do the results of a Brazilian butt lift last?
The results can last long-term, as the transplanted fat is permanent. However, success depends on how well the fat grafts, and the patient should avoid significant weight fluctuations.
