What is a Brazilian butt lift?

Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the shape and size of your buttocks using fat transfer. Instead of implants, a BBL uses your own fat, which is taken from areas like your abdomen, thighs, or flanks through liposuction. The fat is then processed and injected into your buttocks to give you a fuller, rounder appearance. 

This procedure has become popular for offering more natural-looking results compared to implants.

How is a Brazilian butt lift performed?

Dr. Davilia usually performs your Brazilian butt lift while you’re under general anesthesia. It begins with liposuction, where he removes fat from areas with excess fat, like your stomach, thighs, or back. 

He then purifies the fat to ensure he only uses healthy fat cells. He injects the purified fat into different layers of your buttocks to achieve the desired shape and volume.

Dr. Davila uses multiple small injections to evenly distribute the fat and create a natural contour. The survival of the fat cells is critical. However, you can rely on Dr. Davila’s expert technique to help maximize the amount of fat that stays for the best possible outcome.

Am I a candidate for a Brazilian butt lift?

You may be a candidate for a Brazilian butt lift if you're in good health and have enough fat in areas like your abdomen, thighs, or back that can be transferred. If you're near your ideal body weight and want to enhance the shape or size of your buttocks, this could be a great option for you. 

Be sure to have realistic expectations and also — maintain a stable weight, as changes in weight can affect your results. However, if you smoke or have certain medical conditions that may impact healing, you might not be an ideal candidate.

When will I notice the results of my Brazilian butt lift?

You’ll see initial changes in the size and shape of your buttocks right after surgery, but some of the fat may reabsorb into your body over the first few months. Your final results will typically appear in 3-6 months, once the swelling has gone down and the transferred fat cells fully settle into place.
