What Is Brazilian Butt Lift?
This gluteal fat transfer procedure uses your own fat to enhance the size and shape of your buttocks, creating natural-looking curves whilst simultaneously contouring areas where fat is harvested. The procedure involves liposuction from the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, followed by purification and strategic injection into the buttocks.
Unlike implants, BBL provides entirely natural results using your body's own tissue, reducing the risk of rejection. Our partner surgeons use advanced fat grafting techniques to maximise fat survival and deliver long-lasting, proportionate curves.
Common Concerns Brazilian Butt Lift Can Address
Flat or underdeveloped buttocks lacking volume and projection
Loss of buttock shape and firmness due to ageing or weight loss
Asymmetrical buttocks or uneven contours
Desire for enhanced curves and improved body proportions
Are You a Good Candidate?
Sufficient donor fat available for harvesting via liposuction
Non-smoker or willing to quit for several weeks before and after surgery
Realistic expectations about results and recovery requirements
Techniques & Options
Where your fat sits, how much is available, and the projection you want all shape the surgical plan. Your surgeon will map your donor areas, evaluate skin quality over the buttocks, and discuss the level of enhancement that suits your frame. The procedure sculpts the waist and hips simultaneously, creating balanced curves from every angle.
There are two main techniques:
Classic BBL with 360° Liposuction
The most comprehensive approach, harvesting fat from multiple areas to maximise buttock enhancement. Creates an hourglass figure through simultaneous contouring.
Liposuction performed on abdomen, flanks, lower back, and thighs
Fat purified and processed to ensure highest quality grafts
Strategic injection into multiple layers of the buttocks for natural shape and projection
Targeted BBL with Limited Liposuction
A focused technique for patients requiring moderate enhancement from one or two donor areas. Ideal for subtle to moderate volume increase and symmetry correction.
Liposuction from selected donor sites with sufficient fat reserves
Emphasis on creating symmetry and addressing specific contour concerns
Ideal for patients seeking subtle to moderate volume increase
Recovery Timeline
Days 1–3
Swelling, bruising, and discomfort at both donor and recipient sites are normal and expected. You'll rest on your stomach or side and begin gentle walking to aid circulation. Your care coordinator will check in daily.
Week 1–2
Swelling begins to subside and most patients feel well enough for light activities. You'll use a BBL pillow when sitting and attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing before returning home.
Weeks 3–6
Gradual return to normal activities as swelling continues to reduce, revealing more of your final contour. Light exercise such as walking is encouraged, but avoid sitting directly on the buttocks.
Months 3–6
Final results become apparent as swelling fully resolves and transferred fat settles into its permanent blood supply. Approximately 60–80% of transferred fat survives long-term.

Safety & Risks
Brazilian Butt Lift is a safe procedure when performed by an experienced surgeon, but like all surgeries, it carries some risks.
Fat embolism (rare)
Partial fat reabsorption (20–40%)
Asymmetry or contour irregularities
Infection at donor or injection sites
Seroma or fluid collection
Temporary sensation changes
Because a BBL involves both liposuction and fat injection, your surgeon will explain the specific precautions taken to minimise fat embolism risk and maximise graft survival, including injection depth protocols and post-operative positioning requirements.

Common Questions About Brazilian Butt Lift
Everything you need to know before your procedure
We recommend staying for 10–14 days to allow for your procedure, initial recovery, and follow-up appointments before travelling home.
Yes, because BBL uses your own fat rather than implants, results look and feel entirely natural. Your surgeon sculpts the buttocks to complement your proportions.
Most patients need sufficient fat reserves for approximately 1000–2000ml of purified fat. Your surgeon will assess your donor sites during consultation to determine suitability.
You'll avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for at least 2 weeks and use a BBL pillow when sitting for up to 8 weeks. This protects the transferred fat and maximises graft survival.
Approximately 20–40% of transferred fat is naturally reabsorbed during the first 3 months. Your surgeon accounts for this by slightly overcorrecting, and the fat that survives becomes permanent.
Yes, BBL is commonly combined with tummy tuck, breast augmentation, or thigh lift for comprehensive body contouring. Your surgeon will advise on safe combinations during your consultation.
Scarring is minimal as both liposuction and fat injection use tiny incisions (3–5mm) placed in discreet locations. They fade significantly over time.
Light walking is encouraged immediately, but avoid strenuous exercise and lower body workouts for at least 6–8 weeks to allow transferred fat to establish blood supply.
The fat that successfully integrates (typically 60–80%) remains permanent and behaves like normal fat cells. Results last indefinitely with stable weight.
Purchase a specialised BBL pillow and loose-fitting, front-fastening clothing before your trip. Stop smoking at least four weeks prior and discontinue blood-thinning medications two weeks ahead. Increase your water intake and eat nutritious, calorie-dense meals in the weeks before surgery, as healthy fat reserves support better graft survival.
