Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

The Brazilian Butt Lift is a body contouring procedure that uses the patient's own fat to increase and reshape the buttocks, creating a more projected, rounded and harmonious appearance. This technique revolutionized buttock cosmetic surgery worldwide and earned its name due to its popularization by Brazilian surgeons.

▲ Principles and fundamentals:

BBL combines two techniques: liposuction to collect fat and fat grafting (autologous fat transfer) to increase volume and improve the shape of the buttocks. The Brazilian technique stands out for its meticulous attention to the three-dimensional distribution of fat, creating more natural and harmonious results.

▲ Differentiating technical aspects:

• Injection only in the buttocks and safe areas, completely avoiding the deep intramuscular gluteal region (to avoid fat embolism)

• Enhancing the "frame" around the buttocks (waist, flanks and hips) to enhance the gluteal projection

• Consideration of individual body proportions (personalized approach)

• Technique of distributing fat at different depths for more natural results

▲ Recovery and specific care:

• Prone position (face down) or lateral position during sleep for 2-3 weeks

• Use of special pillows when sitting, avoiding direct pressure on the buttocks

• Compression garment on the liposuctioned areas, but without compression in the gluteal region

• Light physical activity after 3-4 weeks, full return after 6-8 weeks

• Fat absorption rate: 30-40% of the injected volume can be reabsorbed, stabilizing after

• 3-6 months
