Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

For people who want a rounded, full, and shapely bottom, a Brazilian butt lift can truly deliver. This treatment combines liposuction and fat transfer, using your body’s tissues to create beautiful results.

Numerous things can get in the way of achieving your ideal butt shape and size. Genetics predetermines quite a bit about how your bottom will appear. The aging process also doesn’t help when it comes to your buttocks. Gaining or losing a significant amount of weight will also complicate your efforts to achieve the curves you desire.

Dr. Miller-Thrasher has extensive training in these procedures. She is a member of the World Association of Gluteal Surgeons and has perfected the latest techniques in butt lift surgery.

After ensuring that a Brazilian butt lift is indicated and that you are a candidate for the procedure, a preop visit is scheduled where the expectations and consent form are reviewed, labs are drawn, and the surgical date is selected. A follow-up appointment where labs are reviewed and additional questions are entertained can be in person or virtual. Third, once a date is selected, the anesthesia team will reach out to give you additional instructions necessary to attend to you safely.

Of course, our anesthesia team will keep you comfortable and relaxed throughout your procedure. A Brazilian butt lift begins with targeted liposuction to gather fat from your abdomen, flanks, and waist. That fat is purified and then injected into the areas of your buttocks where you desire additional volume.

One variation of a Brazilian butt lift is known as a Booty Pop. This approach is less invasive than a traditional Brazilian butt lift and includes subtle liposuctioning of your upper buttock and lower back to further enhance your newly refined contouring. This variation does not require the insertion of fat into your buttocks area, but instead contours and shapes your natural buttocks.

If you are slender and without the appropriate amount of fat necessary for liposuction to shape your buttocks, ask us about our Sculptra® BBL.

It takes time for your body to adapt after any fat transfer procedure, including a Brazilian butt lift. You’ll need to avoid placing any pressure on your buttocks in the initial phase of healing. This means lying and sleeping on your side for up to eight weeks. If you must sit, a special pillow helps reduce undue pressure on the surgical site.

As with all surgical procedures, you should stay properly nourished and hydrated as you recover. In the first few days after your procedure, having a friend or loved one stay with you can make it easier to manage household tasks.

Dr. Miller-Thrasher provides detailed post-procedure instructions. Following these guidelines can help you move through your recovery process with ease. If you have additional questions or concerns, feel free to book a consultation online or by phone.
