A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) can be an exciting option if you want fuller, rounder curves without butt implants. However, wanting a more lifted shape is only part of the decision. The best candidates also have sufficient donor fat, good general health, and realistic expectations for what the procedure can do.
Dr. Giancarlo McEvenue, MD, RCPSC, can help you decide whether a BBL is an appropriate choice. He is ABPS-certified and specializes in aesthetic surgery, including buttock augmentation and body contouring. Known for delivering a “Resultado Excelente”™, Dr. G works with each patient’s anatomy and goals to create natural-looking, long-lasting outcomes.
What Is a BBL?
A Brazilian butt lift uses your existing fat to add volume and shape to the buttocks. First, fat is removed from areas such as the abdomen, waist, back, hips, or thighs with liposuction. Then, the fat is processed and carefully placed in the buttocks.
Signs You May Be an Ideal Candidate
A Brazilian butt lift may be a good choice if you:
- Want more volume, projection, or roundness in the buttocks
- Are at or near a stable, healthy weight
- Do not smoke (or can stop before and after surgery)
- Have good skin tone and general health
- Understand that results vary from person to person
It’s important to note that a BBL is not a weight loss procedure. It is best for people who are seeking body shaping and contour improvement, not major weight reduction.
You Need Enough Donor Fat
Because a Brazilian butt lift uses fat transfer, you should have enough fat to remove and place in the buttocks. Common donor areas include the stomach, flanks, lower back, thighs, and bra area.
If you are very lean, you may still have options, but your outcomes will likely be more subtle. During your visit, Dr. G can evaluate your body type and explain what is realistic for your frame.
Recovery Is Part of the Process
BBL recovery takes planning. For a period of time, you will need to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks, sleep in certain positions, wear compression garments, and limit strenuous activity. You must understand and be willing to follow Dr. G’s instructions. Otherwise, you might compromise your results and increase the risk of complications.
