About Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) enhances buttock shape and volume using your own purified fat. This dual-benefit procedure removes unwanted fat from areas like the abdomen and flanks while adding natural-looking curves to the buttocks.
The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a two-in-one body contouring procedure that uses your own fat to enhance the size and shape of the buttocks while simultaneously slimming the donor areas. At Aestique Clinic, our surgeons use the latest safety protocols and 3D fat grafting techniques to create a rounder, more lifted, and natural-looking buttock contour.
Unlike buttock implants, BBL uses your own purified fat cells, resulting in a more natural look and feel. Fat is typically harvested from the abdomen, flanks, back, or thighs using liposuction, then carefully processed and strategically injected into multiple layers of the buttocks.
BBL Process
- Fat Harvesting: Strategic liposuction from abdomen, flanks, thighs, or back.
- Fat Processing: Advanced purification techniques to maximize fat cell survival.
- Strategic Injection: Multi-layer fat placement for natural shape and projection.
- Body Contouring: Comprehensive sculpting for an hourglass silhouette.
Before & After Results
Key Benefits
Natural Look and Feel
Using your own fat creates results that look and feel completely natural.
Dual Body Contouring
Slim your problem areas while enhancing your buttocks in a single procedure.
No Implant Risks
Avoid the complications associated with synthetic buttock implants.
Improved Body Proportions
Create an hourglass silhouette with enhanced curves and a defined waistline.
Permanent Results
Fat cells that survive transfer (typically 60-80%) remain permanently.
Minimal Scarring
Liposuction incisions are tiny (3-5mm) and fade to nearly invisible.
Am I a Good Candidate?
Good candidates for a Brazilian Butt Lift:
- Desire a fuller, rounder, or more lifted buttock shape
- Have sufficient donor fat available for transfer (typically BMI of 22+)
- Have good skin elasticity in the buttock area
- Are at a stable weight and in good overall health
- Can commit to not sitting directly on the buttocks for 2-3 weeks post-surgery
- Have realistic expectations about the achievable enhancement
Recovery & Aftercare
BBL recovery requires specific precautions to protect the transferred fat:
- Week 1-2: No sitting or lying directly on the buttocks. Use a BBL pillow when sitting is necessary. Compression garment worn on donor areas.
- Week 2-3: Gradually resume light sitting with a BBL cushion. Swelling in donor and recipient areas reduces.
- Month 1: Most patients return to desk work using a BBL cushion. Light walking encouraged throughout recovery.
- Month 2: Resume moderate exercise (no squats or direct buttock pressure exercises yet). Normal sitting can resume.
- Month 3-6: Final results become visible. Approximately 60-80% of transferred fat survives permanently.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much fat is needed for a BBL?
Typically, 800-1200cc of purified fat is injected into each buttock, though the amount varies based on your goals and available donor fat. Your surgeon will assess your anatomy during consultation to determine the optimal volume.
How long do BBL results last?
The fat cells that survive the initial 3-month period (typically 60-80%) remain permanently. However, significant weight fluctuations can affect results, so maintaining a stable weight is important.
When can I sit normally after BBL?
Most surgeons recommend avoiding direct sitting for 2-3 weeks and using a BBL cushion for 6-8 weeks. This protects the newly transferred fat cells during their most vulnerable period.
Can a BBL be combined with other procedures?
Yes, BBL is commonly combined with a tummy tuck (sometimes called a "Mommy Makeover") for comprehensive body contouring. However, combining procedures increases operative time, so your surgeon will advise on safety.
