Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) transfers the patient's own fat - harvested via liposuction from the abdomen, flanks, or thighs - into the buttocks to enhance size, projection, and shape.

It simultaneously slims the waist and donor sites while creating a naturally fuller, more curved appearance. No implants are used - the result feels completely natural because it is built from the patient's own tissue.

Who is it for?

  • Want a fuller, more shapely, naturally curved buttock without implants.
  • Sufficient donor fat in the abdomen, flanks, or thighs to harvest.
  • At or close to a stable, ideal weight.
  • Non-smoker, in good general health, with realistic expectations.
  • Prepared to follow strict post-operative positioning instructions to maximise fat survival.
  • If slim with limited donor fat, gluteal implants may be a better option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a BBL the same as buttock implants?

  • No. A BBL uses your own purified fat - no foreign material.
  • Results feel completely natural.
  • Buttock implants use silicone implants and are recommended when insufficient donor fat is available for a BBL.

How long do BBL results last?

  • Long-lasting once the transferred fat establishes its blood supply (3-6 months post-procedure).
  • Avoiding direct sitting pressure on the buttocks during early recovery maximises fat survival and longevity of results.

What is the fat survival rate?

  • Typically 60-80% of transferred fat integrates permanently.
  • The volume may appear to reduce slightly in the first few months as some fat is reabsorbed - this is normal and expected.

What is the recovery timeline?

  • First 2-4 weeks: No direct sitting on the buttocks - a specially designed BBL pillow is used. Compression garment worn over donor areas.
  • 2 weeks: Light activity resumes.
  • 4-6 weeks: Gradual return to normal sitting and most activity.
  • 6 weeks onwards: Strenuous exercise gradually reintroduced.
  • 3-6 months: Final size and shape visible as transferred fat establishes its permanent blood supply.
