What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

A Brazilian butt lift, often abbreviated as BBL, is a specialized fat transfer procedure designed to enhance the shape and size of your buttocks while sculpting other areas of your body. Unlike synthetic implants, a BBL uses the patient’s own fat, typically harvested from areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, delivering a natural-looking result.

The BBL process involves gentle liposuction to remove unwanted fat from selected areas. This fat is then purified and carefully injected into strategic regions of the buttocks and hips, sculpting a rounder, fuller, and more lifted appearance. As a result, our patients receive the dual benefit—they enhance their curves and contour areas where excess fat was removed.

Your safety, comfort, and aesthetic satisfaction are paramount at Main Line Plastic Surgery. Dr. Raymond D. Jean is a plastic surgeon with extensive experience in body contouring and fat transfer techniques. Our fully accredited surgical facility meets the highest standards of safety and patient care, ensuring a smooth experience from your initial consultation to your final follow-up.

The BBL Procedure: What to Expect

Initial Consultation

Your BBL journey starts with a comprehensive consultation at Main Line Plastic Surgery. Dr. Raymond D. Jean will review your medical history, examine your body contours, and discuss your desired results. You will receive detailed instructions on pre-surgical preparation, including lifestyle adjustments and what to expect on the day of surgery.
A BBL is performed under general anesthesia in our fully accredited surgical suite. The process involves two main steps.
Liposuction involves targeted fat removal from donor areas (such as the abdomen, waist, or thighs). After anesthesia is provided, Dr. Raymond D. Jean uses gentle, precise techniques to harvest fat. Incisions are made in hidden places to minimize scarring and achieve optimal results.
The second step involves purification and strategic injection of harvested fat into the buttocks and hips. This fat is processed to ensure only the healthiest, most viable cells are used. The purified fat is then meticulously injected into the buttocks, layer by layer, to shape and enhance your new contours. The entire process typically takes 2–4 hours, depending on your personalized treatment plan.
After your procedure, you will be carefully monitored in our recovery area to ensure your vital signs are stable and you are comfortable. Although a Brazilian butt lift is a surgical procedure performed under general anesthesia, patients return home the same day with a trusted caregiver. Our team will provide detailed post-operative care instructions and schedule follow-up visits to track your healing progress and ensure optimal results.

Recovery After BBL Surgery

Recovery is a vital part of achieving optimal results. Patients return home the same day with detailed aftercare instructions. You will need to avoid sitting or lying directly on your buttocks for at least two weeks to protect the transferred fat. Special pillows and positioning techniques will be recommended to aid healing.

Recovery Timeline

  • Weeks 1–2: Swelling and bruising are most noticeable; medication makes discomfort manageable.
  • Weeks 3–4: Swelling subsides; you may resume light daily activities and desk work.
  • Week 6: Patients return to physical/manual work and low-impact exercise.
  • Months 3–6: Final results become visible as swelling resolves and fat cells stabilize.
  • Use the recommended support garments for optimal contouring.
  • Sleep on your stomach or sides to avoid pressure on the buttocks.
  • Attend all follow-up appointments for monitoring and guidance.
  • Maintain a healthy, stable weight to preserve your results.

BBL Results

With proper care, the results of a BBL can be long-lasting. Most patients retain 60–80% of the transferred fat, which becomes a permanent part of their body. Maintaining a stable weight is key to preserving your new shape for many years. Thus, we recommend that patients incorporate a healthy diet and exercise regimen into their daily routines.

Natural Breast Augmentation

For women who have experienced significant weight loss or desire a more natural enhancement without implants, fat transfer breast augmentation is an excellent option. This cosmetic surgery uses the fat extracted during liposuction to enhance breast volume and shape. By carefully transferring the removed fat to the breasts, Dr. Jean sculpts a balanced, natural-looking result that complements the patient’s body. This approach allows women to enjoy fuller breasts with minimal scarring and a softer feel.
Facial fat grafting is a specialized technique often combined with aesthetic surgery to restore youthful volume and improve facial contours. During this procedure, the transferred fat cells are carefully injected into targeted areas of the face, such as the cheeks or under the eyes, providing a natural rejuvenation. An added benefit of this method is that it uses your own tissue, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or rejection. Results may vary based on individual anatomy and fat retention, but many patients appreciate the subtle, long-lasting enhancement it offers.

Benefits of Buttock Augmentation

A BBL can dramatically improve the overall harmony and femininity of your figure. Key benefits include:
  • Enhanced volume and projection in the buttocks
  • Improved waist-to-hip ratio for a more curvaceous silhouette
  • Refined body contours through targeted liposuction
  • Reduction of stubborn fat from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs
Because a BBL uses your own fat, the result feels and looks natural, both in motion and at rest. The procedure is tailored to your anatomy, allowing Dr. Raymond D.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I have scars after BBL?
Incisions for liposuction are very small and placed in discreet areas. Most fade significantly over time.
You will need to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for at least two weeks. Special cushions and positioning techniques will be provided. Pain medication and special compression garments will help manage discomfort during the first week of the recovery process.
The fat that survives the transfer becomes a permanent part of your body; some loss is expected in the first few months.
Many patients combine BBL with other surgical procedures for comprehensive body enhancement. Part of the tissue extracted during liposuction can be used for fat grafting in the facial or breast area. Many patients undergo a complete mommy makeover, including tummy tuck and other body contouring procedures.
Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon for your Brazilian butt lift surgery is essential for your safety and results. Dr. Jean has advanced training in fat transfer techniques, ensuring the injected fat is placed precisely in the buttock region while preserving the integrity of surrounding areas of the body. A deep understanding of anatomy—especially the skin layers, fatty tissues, and underlying blood supply—is crucial for minimizing risks and maximizing results. Dr. Jean provides comprehensive care from your consultation through recovery, prioritizing natural-looking outcomes and patient safety.
When performed by an experienced surgeon on a patient in good health, a BBL is generally considered a safe and effective way to add volume and reshape the body. The healing process typically takes several weeks, during which you will follow specific guidelines and take prescribed medications to support recovery. As the body heals, some patients may also notice new collagen production in treated areas, which can improve skin texture and firmness over time.
