Brazilian Butt Lift | BBL in Miami, FL
What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Brazilian butt lift, BBL surgery, and butt augmentation are all terms that define one specific procedure: transferring fat to the buttocks and hips to improve their overall size and shape. To collect the fat, our board-certified plastic surgeon performs liposuction in the abdomen, thighs, or back. He can also target multiple body parts using Lipo 360. The areas for liposuction are chosen based on each patient’s needs, goals, and expectations. After the fat cells are safely removed and processed, they are re-injected into the buttocks via ultrasound-guided technique.

Preparation & Consultation
Before the Brazilian Butt Lift
Preparation & Consultation Before the Brazilian Butt Lift
A Brazilian butt lift requires careful preparation. It begins with an initial consultation with Dr. Askari. He evaluates the patient’s goals, medical history, and lifestyle to determine if they are a good candidate. The surgeon also makes a physical examination and develops a customized treatment plan.
Before the BBL surgery, the patient may need to adjust their medications, stop smoking, and undergo some lab tests or imaging scans. It is also important to avoid certain vitamins and supplements that can increase bleeding risk. Arrangements are also made for the recovery period, including time off work, assistance at home if needed, and follow-up appointments. Clear communication between the surgical team and patient during the consultation helps to prepare properly for this transformative journey.
Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure
Anesthesia
BBL is performed under general anesthesia to keep the patient comfortable during the entire procedure. An IV line is placed to administer all of the necessary medications, and our anesthesiologist monitors the patient continuously during the surgery.
Liposuction
Vaser Liposuction is first performed to harvest excess fat from areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. Small incisions are made, and a cannula (thin tube) attached to a vacuum device is inserted under the skin to suction out fat. The amount removed depends on the individual’s goals and the excess tissue that is available.
Fat Transfer
The purified fat is then reinjected into specific areas of the buttocks to augment their shape and size. Dr. Askari meticulously places the excess fat using an ultrasound. Small amounts are placed into different depths and planes to create a natural look and feel. The number of cc injected depends on the fat available and the desired level of augmentation.
Incisions Closed
Once the fat transfer is complete, Dr. Askari closes any small incisions with sutures and dresses them with tape and bandages as needed. Over a few weeks, these will heal into small, minimal scars.
Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery
The recovery period after buttock augmentation is crucial for optimal results. Patients are required to wear a compression garment for several weeks to help reduce swelling and facilitate skin retraction. The first few days involve resting and avoiding sitting directly on the buttocks because this can displace the transferred fat cells before they establish a blood supply. It is crucial to sleep on the stomach for at least a month and avoid lying on the back.
Walking is encouraged starting the day after brazilian butt lift surgery to promote blood flow and healing. Most normal activities can be resumed after 2-4 weeks, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for 2 months to allow complete healing. Patients must visit all follow-up appointments to monitor recovery progress and results. Proper aftercare and gradual return to activities help to ensure that the transplanted fat cells integrate successfully in their new location.
Candidates for a Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure
BBL surgery is a natural way to enhance the buttocks, but it is not for everyone. Patients should consult with Dr. Askari to see if they are eligible. Knowing what to expect from the surgery, recovery, and outcomes of a BBL surgery can help people prepare themselves physically and psychologically. Generally, good candidates for a Brazilian butt lift:
Want to enhance the appearance of their buttocks without using implants
Have lost the tone and natural curves of their buttocks
Are not happy with the proportions of their body
Do not smoke or can quit it 4 weeks before the surgery
Have a healthy weight and are physically active
Have excess fat stores in areas of the body for fat grafting
Have no history of surgery-related complications
Have realistic expectations about the procedure
Benefits of Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery
Buttock Enhancement
Brazilian butt lift shapes naturally round buttocks using the patient’s own fat. In addition, it can reverse the saggy and shapeless appearance caused by aging, pregnancy, or major weight loss. After this operation, the buttocks look firmer and perkier.
Lower Risk of Infection Compared to Butt Implants
Unlike silicone butt implants, a Brazilian butt lift utilizes internal material for augmentation. This means there is no foreign object being introduced into the body, which reduces the risk of infection significantly compared to implant surgery. The organism is less likely to reject its own natural fat tissue.
Improved Body Proportions
A Brazilian butt lift allows for customized enhancement and shaping based on the patient’s unique figure. Fat can be removed from areas with unwanted deposits, like the abdomen or thighs, and transferred to create an improved figure. Patients may achieve a better balance and proportion between the upper and lower body. Thus, a BBL brings significant cosmetic improvements because it enhances the buttocks while slimming other problem areas.
Long-Lasting Results
Most people are satisfied with the results and benefits of a Brazilian butt lift. Many of them enjoy the enhanced appearance of their buttocks for 12 to 15 years as long as they have a healthy and active lifestyle. Maintaining a stable weight is crucial for preserving the new figure over the long term.
