About the procedure
A Brazilian Butt Lift, or BBL, combines liposuction with transfer of the collected fat to the buttocks. It aims to change volume and contour without implants.
Your consultation
The surgeon assesses donor areas, buttock shape, skin and medical history. The discussion needs to cover achievable volume, the proposed technique and safety measures specific to gluteal fat transfer.
What to expect
- Medical assessment, discussion of options and agreement on a plan.
- Collection and preparation of fat, followed by the planned transfer to the buttock area.
- Aftercare and follow-up adapted to the healing process.
Recovery and follow-up
Aftercare involves both the liposuction sites and the transfer area. Resting positions and returning to sitting or exercise are agreed with the surgeon.
What to consider
BBL carries important risks, including fat embolism, a potentially life-threatening complication. Some transferred fat may be reabsorbed, so the settled volume varies.

Is it the same as buttock implants?
No. BBL uses your own fat, while implant augmentation involves a surgically placed device.
What should I clarify before deciding?
The safety of the technique, the team’s experience, the proposed volume, alternatives and arrangements for postoperative monitoring.
Discuss the cost before treatment.
