A lot of how our bodies are shaped is due to genetics. You can workout consistently, get stronger and more fit, but not see much of a change in the size of your backside. This is a common problem for many women, but now, you can do something about it with a Brazilian Butt Lift, the cosmetic procedure that gives you the curvy, womanly shape you crave.
What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
A Brazilian Butt Lift, or BBL, is a three-step cosmetic surgical procedure that totally reshapes your body. It reduces fat in targeted areas and uses your own fat cells to augment your buttocks. With a BBL, you can create a slender, defined waist and a plump, firm rear end.
During a Brazilian Butt Lift:
- Your surgeon uses liposuction to extract fat from your body.
- The fat cells are sterilized and preserved.
- The doctor then injects the fat cells into your rear end.

Why Has the BBL Become So Popular?
There’s no question that the BBL has become one of the most popular trends in cosmetic surgery. Breast augmentation is still the most commonly requested surgical procedure, and the BBL is second.
Fashion and Celebrity Trends
The worlds of fashion and celebrity have made large rear ends desirable to many women. The fashion world is in the process of celebrating more diversity in women’s bodies, and that has led to an acceptance and celebration of women with pronounced curves.
From an emphasis on super-skinny models and celebrities, fashion has now swung to the other side, embracing the curvy, feminine shape that is flaunted by celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez. It’s a sexy look that many women strive to achieve through diet and exercise.
Popularity of Cosmetic Procedures
Where does that leave you, if you weren’t born blessed with a booty? If you’re like millions of women, you can opt for a surgical procedure that will give you the look you want.
The change in fashion trends is also reflected in changing attitudes toward plastic surgery. Cosmetic surgical procedures are no longer a secret that celebrities and other women try to hide. Now, they are openly discussed as women share information about the best procedures.
Benefits of a Brazilian Butt Lift
You Get Two Body-Shaping Procedures in One
The chief benefit of a BBL is that you get fat loss from targeted areas in addition to a shapely rear. If you have stubborn fat on your waist, thighs or stomach, you can slim them down to create a beautifully proportioned body.
Your trim new waist, tummy and thighs will make your new butt really stand out. The BBL gives you double the results in one procedure.
It Creates Totally Natural Results
The BBL uses your own fat cells to give volume and boost to your buttocks. That means the results look and feel completely natural, because they are completely natural. Using your body’s own cells is healthier than using an artificial implant. It also makes for faster recovery.
It Boosts Your Self-Confidence
When you don’t like the way you look in clothes or in a bathing suit, it can negatively affect every aspect of your life. You may become highly self-critical and start avoiding certain events or outings.
A Brazilian Butt Lift can reverse that line of thought and give you back the self-confidence you deserve. After this procedure, you will love the way you look. You’ll feel self-confident in any outfit and in any situation.
It Also Works for Big Booties
What if you are among those who were born with a naturally large rear end, but you don’t like its flabby, sagging shape? A BBL will lift your butt and make it firmer and more shapely. Some women think a BBL is only for those with small rear ends, but any woman who wants her butt to look better will benefit from this procedure.
It Gives Long-Lasting Results
Unlike some cosmetic procedures, a Brazilian Butt Lift provides long-term results. If you maintain your weight, you’ll maintain your beautiful new shape.
Should You Get a Brazilian Butt Lift or Butt Implants?
If you’re tired of your flat, flabby butt, you may have thought about butt augmentation surgery with implants. This is also a good procedure, but the BBL has significant advantages.
- It uses your own fat cells to create a totally natural look and feel.
- You don’t have to worry about having a foreign substance implanted in your body.
- It adds the benefit of trimming and shaping the rest of your body.
If you can’t have the BBL for any reason, butt augmentation with implants can achieve excellent results in the hands of a good surgeon.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift?
If you are in good health and at a stable weight, you can stop spending hours exercising your glutes, taking supplements or applying topical creams that don’t work.
Don’t waste any more time or money on solutions that fall flat. A Brazilian Butt Lift can give you the lift, firmness and shape that you want.
A Brazilian Butt Lift is an excellent choice for any woman who:
- Has seen her butt start to sag and get flatter with age.
- Was born with a small, flat rear end.
- Doesn’t want a larger rear end, but wants her butt lifted and firm.
- Suffers from low self-esteem because of her body.
- Is close to or at her ideal weight.
- Is healthy and a nonsmoker.
- Has realistic expectations regarding cosmetic surgery.
What Does the Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure Involve?
Initial Consultation
Any cosmetic procedure should begin with a consultation with your surgeon. You should discuss your concerns and your final goals for your body. You’ll also choose your preferred shape for the final outcome. Make sure you and your doctor communicate clearly with each other regarding the shape, size, amount of projection and amount of lift that you envision.
When it comes to a BBL, a skilled plastic surgeon will work with you to determine:
- the best size and shape that works with your body;
- the amount of lift that will look natural;
- the shape of your waist, thighs or other areas that received liposuction;
- other considerations to help you reach your goal of a balanced, natural-looking body.
Liposuction
A BBL begins with liposuction of any areas that you have targeted for fat removal. Liposuction is still considered the gold standard when it comes to fat removal, and it allows your surgeon to deliver precise, controlled results.
Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure. It cannot remove large amounts of fat. You should be close to your ideal weight before you begin a BBL or any other body shaping procedure.
Fat Harvesting
During the liposuction procedure, your doctor harvests and purifies the fat cells from the targeted areas of your body. These cells will be used to augment your buttocks.
Implanting of Fat Cells
Once the fat cells are processed, your surgeon injects them into your buttocks. In most cases, there is more than enough harvested fat to create round, full buttocks of any size. Some women choose to have harvested fat injected into their faces to add fullness and definition. If that’s something that interests you, talk to your doctor about adding this procedure.
Final Shaping
The final step is forming your new body into the shape that you want. Your surgeon will define the areas where you had liposuction as well as your new, larger buttocks.
What to Expect from a Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure
Before the Procedure
Your doctor’s office will give you full instructions on how to prepare for your surgery. You should be happy and excited about changing your body and your life. If you have any final questions or concerns, be sure to bring them up before the surgery so that you’ll be at ease.
Where Will You Have the Procedure Done?
You will probably have your surgery done in your doctor’s surgical facility. It should be a facility that:
- Is fully accredited.
- Offers a comfortable, private atmosphere.
- Gives you personalized care.
After the Procedure
You should plan for 10 to 14 days off to recover from your surgery. A Brazilian Butt Lift is major surgery and you should plan to take the time your body needs to heal. Your surgeon’s office will provide you with the aftercare instructions you’ll need to follow, including wearing a compression garment and avoiding sitting or lying on the area where you had surgery.
What Results Can You Expect From a Brazilian Butt Lift?
What most people want to know is how soon they’ll be able to show off their new bodies. Keep in mind that your body takes time to heal after surgery and that your patience will be well rewarded.
Although you’ll notice a dramatic difference in your body shape right away, you won’t notice the full results until about six months after your surgery. At that point, your swelling will be gone, your scars will have healed, and your body will have absorbed the implanted fat cells.
The Six-Month Mark
After your body has fully healed and adjusted to its new shape, you’ll start to see your new body in its full glory. You’ll enjoy looking at your voluptuous curves and your trim waist, thighs and stomach. The high, pert rear end that you wanted will be yours, and you’ll enjoy the way you look in your clothes and in your bathing suit.
