    The Brazilian Butt Lift is a cosmetic procedure that involves liposuction to remove fat from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or back, which is then injected into the buttocks to enhance their shape and volume. This popular plastic surgery procedure delivers natural looking results by using your own body fat rather than silicone implants, creating a rounder butt with an attractive shape that complements your entire body.

    Our Beverly Hills plastic surgeon utilizes ultrasound-guided fat injection techniques—the current gold standard in BBL surgery—to ensure precise subcutaneous placement and maximize safety. With state-of-the-art facilities serving the Los Angeles area, we combine surgical expertise with luxury care for patients seeking exceptional Brazilian butt lift results.


    Why Choose Beverly Hills for Your Brazilian Buttock Lift

    Beverly Hills stands as the premier destination for patients seeking butt augmentation, offering access to experienced surgeons who perform high volumes of Brazilian butt lift procedures with advanced safety protocols.

    • Natural-Looking Results: The Brazilian Butt Lift uses the patient’s own fat to enhance the size and shape of the buttocks, providing a more natural look and feel compared to traditional implants. Using autologous fat significantly lowers the risk of allergic reactions and infections compared to synthetic implants.

    • Dual Body Contouring Benefits: BBL can create a more contoured silhouette by simultaneously reducing fat in donor areas such as the abdomen or thighs while augmenting the buttocks. Removing fat from unwanted areas while enhancing your buttocks creates the coveted hourglass figure.

    • Long-Lasting Results: With proper technique and steady weight maintenance, transferred fat cells integrate with your natural fat and remain permanently. Studies show approximately 60-70% of transferred fat survives long-term when technique and aftercare are optimal.

    • Advanced Safety Protocols: Surgeons are advised to use ultrasound guidance during fat injection to minimize risks associated with fat embolism. In 2018, the standard for fat injection during BBL procedures changed from injecting into the gluteal muscle to injecting above the muscle in the subcutaneous plane to reduce the risk of fat embolism.

    • Enhanced Body Proportions: Patients often report high satisfaction rates with BBL results, as the procedure can achieve a fuller, well-shaped buttocks without the need for artificial implants.

    • Minimal Scarring: Only small incisions for cannulas are required, healing to thin, barely visible marks—unlike butt implants which require larger incisions.


    Our BBL Services

    Primary Brazilian Buttock Lift

    We create customized bbl surgery treatment plans for patients of all body types seeking their first buttock augmentation procedure. During the BBL procedure, fat is harvested using liposuction, purified, and then strategically injected into the buttocks at various depths to achieve optimal fullness and shape.

    Our comprehensive approach includes:

    • Detailed body analysis to identify optimal donor fat locations

    • Customized sculpting based on your anatomy and aesthetic goals

    • Multiple donor site options including abdomen, flanks, thighs, and back

    • Advanced fat purification protocols for maximum fat cell survival

    BBL Revision Surgery

    Revision Brazilian Butt Lift surgeries are performed to correct unsatisfactory results from previous BBL procedures done by other surgeons. Common issues that may lead to a BBL revision include asymmetry, fat necrosis, and irregularities in the buttocks shape after the initial surgery.

    Patients seeking BBL revisions often report dissatisfaction due to a lack of volume or an unnatural appearance following their initial procedure. Our revision services address:

    • Asymmetry correction requiring precise fat redistribution

    • Treatment of fat necrosis and contour irregularities

    • Volume restoration when excessive fat absorption occurred

    • Advanced techniques for complex cases involving scar tissue

This sterile environment showcases the tools and equipment used by board-certified plastic surgeons to perform various body contouring surgeries, ensuring safety and precision during operations.
    • Ultrasound-Guided Fat Injection: Real-time anatomical visualization ensures the cannula remains in the safe subcutaneous plane. The subdermal fat transfer method, which involves injecting fat directly under the skin while visualizing the cannula, has been shown to virtually eliminate the risk of fat embolism during BBL procedures.

    • Subdermal Fat Transfer: The safest injection method places purified fat directly beneath the skin layer, avoiding the gluteal muscles entirely. This technique has dramatically reduced serious complications.

    • 360-Degree Liposuction: Comprehensive body contouring addresses the waist, abdomen, flanks, and back simultaneously, maximizing the hourglass figure effect.

    • High-Definition Liposuction: Enhanced muscle definition and sculpting for patients wanting athletic-looking contours alongside buttock augmentation.

    • VASER Liposuction: Gentle ultrasound-assisted fat removal preserves fat cell viability, improving survival rates of injected fat.

    • Power-Assisted Liposuction: Efficient fat harvesting with minimal trauma to fat cells for optimal grafting outcomes.

    • Micro-Cannula Technique: Smaller incisions and improved precision reduce bruising and allow faster recovery.

    • Multi-Plane Injection: Strategic fat placement at various depths achieves optimal projection and maximizes blood supply contact for fat survival.

    • Fat Purification Protocol: Advanced closed-system processing removes debris and fluids while preserving healthy fat cells for highest quality fat grafts.

    • Combination Procedures: BBL with tummy tuck, breast augmentation, breast lift, thigh lift, or complete mommy makeover for comprehensive transformation.


    Our Brazilian Buttock Lift Process

    Step 1: Initial Consultation and Assessment

    Your journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your body anatomy and fat distribution. Ideal candidates for a Brazilian Butt Lift should have unwanted fat in areas such as the stomach, thighs, or lower body that can be harvested for the procedure.

    Candidates for a BBL should be in good general and mental health, free of medical conditions that could impair healing or increase surgical risks. Individuals considering a BBL should have reasonable expectations of the results, aiming for improvement rather than perfection.

    During this appointment, we provide:

    • 3D imaging and surgical planning visualization

    • Honest assessment of how much fat can be harvested and transferred

    • Discussion of natural results achievable for your body type

    • Review of candidates’ skin laxity—those with sagging skin in the buttocks may benefit from additional procedures

    Step 2: Pre-Operative Preparation

    Once your treatment plan is finalized, we coordinate all pre-surgical requirements:

    • Detailed timeline and instructions for the few weeks before surgery

    • Laboratory testing and medical clearance coordination

    • Recovery preparation including special cushions for positioning

    • Arrangement of compression garment fittings

    • Post-operative care scheduling and transportation planning

    Step 3: Surgery Day Procedure

    The BBL is performed as an outpatient procedure, typically under general anesthesia, and can take several hours depending on the amount of fat being transferred and the areas being liposuctioned.

    Your procedure includes:

    • Tumescent liposuction from predetermined donor areas

    • Precision sculpting to enhance overall body contouring

    • Fat processing and purification using advanced centrifugation

    • Ultrasound-guided subdermal fat injection into buttocks

    • Meticulous attention to symmetry and natural proportions

    Step 4: Recovery and Follow-Up Care

    Recovery is critical for the survival of transferred fat cells in a BBL procedure. After a Brazilian Butt Lift, patients should avoid sitting on their buttocks for about 8 weeks to allow for proper healing.

    Your aftercare includes:

    • Patients are advised to wear a compression garment 24/7 for the first 6 weeks post-surgery to minimize swelling and support healing

    • Surgeons recommend patients avoid intense exercise for at least four to six weeks after a BBL

    • Lymphatic drainage massage recommendations to reduce swelling

    • Regular follow-up appointments at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months

    • Full recovery from a BBL can take about 3 to 6 months, with the final results becoming visible as swelling subsides and the fat settles

    • 24/7 access to surgical team for any concerns

    “I traveled from out of state specifically for my Brazilian butt lift in Beverly Hills. The ultrasound-guided technique gave me confidence in the safety, and my results exceeded expectations. The hourglass figure I always wanted is finally mine!” – Michelle R., International Patient

    “After a disappointing BBL elsewhere, I sought revision surgery here. The surgeon addressed my asymmetry with incredible precision. I finally have the natural looking results I originally wanted.” – Amanda K., Revision Patient

    “The entire experience was professional from initial consultation through recovery. Six months post-surgery, I maintain a steady weight and my results look even better than immediately after. Worth every penny.” – Christina M., Los Angeles


    Frequently Asked Questions

    Am I a good candidate for BBL if I’m thin or don’t have much fat?

    Ideal candidates should have enough excess fat in donor areas for harvesting. Very thin patients present challenges but may still qualify through strategic harvesting from multiple sites or staged procedures. The Brazilian Butt Lift is particularly popular among individuals who prefer a natural enhancement using their own fat rather than implants. Candidates must have sufficient skin laxity; those with loose skin or excess skin in the buttocks may benefit from additional procedures like a traditional butt lift.

    How much does a Brazilian Buttock Lift cost in Beverly Hills?

    The cost of a Brazilian Butt Lift typically ranges from $10,000 to $15,000, depending on various factors such as the amount of fat removed and the areas from which it is taken. Prices for Brazilian Butt Lift procedures can vary significantly, with some estimates starting at $16,000 in certain Beverly Hills locations. Factors influencing the cost include the surgeon’s experience, the complexity of the procedure, and facility fees.

    What are the safety protocols to prevent fat embolism?

    The Brazilian Butt Lift has a risk of fat embolism, which can occur in approximately 1 in 600 to 700 procedures, with a mortality rate of about 1 in 3000 when outdated techniques are used. Modern protocols using ultrasound-guided subcutaneous injection have reduced these risks by over 80%. Board certification and extensive experience in BBL procedures are critical factors when selecting a surgeon for a BBL. The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) is the recognized board for certifying plastic surgeons in the United States.

    How long do BBL results last and will I need touch-ups?

    When performed correctly, Brazilian butt lift results are permanent because transferred fat cells become part of your body. However, fat absorption of approximately 30-40% occurs in the months following surgery, which surgeons account for during the procedure. If you gain weight or lose weight significantly, your results will change proportionally, as the injected fat behaves like your natural body fat.

    Can I combine BBL with other procedures like tummy tuck or breast augmentation?

    Yes, many patients combine their brazilian butt lift procedure with other plastic surgery procedures. Common combinations include tummy tuck (for those with excess skin after weight loss), breast augmentation or breast lift, and comprehensive mommy makeover packages. Combining cosmetic procedures reduces overall recovery time and can provide cost savings versus separate surgeries.

    What’s the difference between BBL and butt implants?

    A Brazilian buttock lift uses your own patient’s fat, creating a natural look and feel with dual body contouring benefits. Butt implants use silicone implants placed surgically, requiring larger incisions and carrying risks of capsular contracture, shifting, or rupture. Most patients prefer fat grafting because it uses natural fat, avoids foreign materials, and contours donor areas simultaneously.

    How soon can I return to work and normal activities?

    Many patients return to desk work within 10-14 days using special cushions to avoid sitting directly on the buttocks. Full return to normal activities typically occurs around 6-8 weeks. You must avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for approximately 8 weeks and wear your compression garment as directed to ensure optimal results.

    What happens if I gain or lose weight after my BBL?

    The transferred fat cells behave like natural fat cells throughout your entire body. If you gain weight, the fat in your buttocks will increase proportionally. If you lose weight, you’ll lose volume in your buttocks as well. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with steady weight is recommended for preserving your brazilian butt lift results long-term.

    Are there financing options available for the procedure?

    Yes, we offer financing through CareCredit, Prosper, and Alphaeon Credit to help make your butt augmentation procedure accessible. Payment plans allow you to spread costs over time, and our patient coordinators can review all butt augmentation options during your consultation.

    How do I choose between different Beverly Hills BBL surgeons?

    Board certification and extensive experience in BBL procedures are critical factors when selecting a surgeon for a BBL. Look for plastic surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, verify facility accreditation, and review before-and-after galleries of actual patients. An experienced surgeon should use ultrasound guidance and subcutaneous injection techniques as standard practice. Ask about their specific liposuction techniques for fat harvesting and fat processing protocols during your consultation.
