Brazilian Butt Lift
A well-shaped silhouette is about more than one area of the body — it’s about how each curve flows into the next. If your buttocks feel flat, undefined, or out of balance with the rest of your figure, a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) could make a world of difference for you. By transferring fat from areas like the waist or thighs into the buttocks, this procedure refines your natural proportions and highlights the elegance of your shape.
I’m Dr. Leela, and I see the Brazilian Butt Lift as an opportunity to bring harmony and artistry to your body. I focus on sculpting contours in a way that feels natural, feminine, and aligned with your goals — enhancing not only your curves, but also your confidence in how you move and carry yourself. Together, we’ll design a plan that honors your anatomy, highlights your figure, and helps you feel more at home in your body.
Who Is a Candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift?
You may be a good candidate for a BBL if you:
- Desire a fuller, more rounded buttocks for a more feminine contour
- Have flatness or volume loss in the buttocks that feels out of balance with the rest of your figure
- Want to improve clothing fit or feel more confident in form-fitting clothes
- Have sufficient fat in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs available for fat transfer
- Are in good overall health and at or near a stable body weight
- Have realistic expectations about the results and recovery
During your consultation, I’ll evaluate your body proportions, donor fat availability, and aesthetic goals to design a plan that enhances your curves while maintaining a natural, refined look.
Benefits of a Brazilian Butt Lift
A BBL offers both aesthetic and personal benefits, including:
- Creating a fuller, more shapely buttock contour for a more feminine silhouette
- Sculpting donor areas with liposuction for an overall slimmer figure
- Using your own fat for natural, biocompatible enhancement
- Improving body balance, proportions, and symmetry by refining multiple areas in one setting
- Enhancing your confidence in clothing fit and a variety of clothing styles
- Providing long-lasting results that evolve naturally with your body
- Offering a more natural look and feel compared to implants, without the risks of foreign material
For many patients, the BBL offers not only physical transformation but also renewed self-confidence — helping you feel more balanced, empowered, and at home in your body.
About the Procedure
A Brazilian Butt Lift is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes 2 to 4 hours. The procedure begins with liposuction to remove fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, flanks, or back. This not only provides the fat for transfer into the buttocks but also slims and sculpts the donor areas. The harvested fat is then purified and strategically reinjected into the buttocks to enhance shape, projection, and contour. I use refined harvesting and injection techniques to maximize fat survival, giving you smooth, lasting, and natural-looking results.
Because a BBL uses your own fat, the result looks and feels natural. Liposuction also sculpts the donor areas, creating a slimmer, more defined silhouette that beautifully complements the fuller, more balanced curves of your buttocks. It also allows for a highly customizable result — whether you prefer subtle enhancement or a more dramatic transformation, your surgical plan will be tailored to your body and your vision.
Recovery and Healing
Most patients return home the same day after a Brazilian Butt Lift. Swelling, bruising, and soreness are common in both the donor sites and buttocks during the first 1 to 2 weeks. Medications will be prescribed to help with comfort.
A major part of BBL recovery is protecting the transferred fat. You’ll need to avoid sitting or lying directly on the buttocks for at least 2 weeks. When you sit, you’ll need to use special cushions to keep pressure off the area. Light walking is encouraged right away, but strenuous activity and exercise should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks as you heal.
Most patients feel ready to return to desk work within 10 to 14 days, depending on job demands. Swelling gradually improves over several weeks, and your final results will take shape within 2 to 3 months as the fat settles and your new contours refine. With proper care and a stable weight, your results can last for many years.
