A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a cosmetic surgical procedure that aims to enhance the size and shape of the buttocks without the use of implants. The procedure begins with liposuction, where excess fat is harvested from various parts of the patient's body—common donor sites include the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and lower back. The surgeon uses a specialized cannula to carefully extract the fat, which is then purified through a process that separates viable fat cells from blood, oil, and other impurities. This purification process ensures that only the healthiest fat cells are used for injection, increasing the likelihood of successful fat grafting.

Once the fat has been purified, the surgeon strategically injects it into different layers of the buttocks to achieve the desired volume and shape. The injections are meticulously placed to create a smooth, natural-looking contour, focusing on enhancing the overall aesthetics and symmetry of the buttocks. The procedure usually takes between two to four hours and is typically performed under general anesthesia, although local anesthesia with sedation may be an option for some patients. Post-operative care includes wearing a compression garment to reduce swelling and support the newly augmented areas. Patients are generally advised to avoid sitting directly on their buttocks for at least two weeks to maximize fat retention and ensure optimal results.
