What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is an advanced body contouring cosmetic surgery that uses your own body fat to enhance the size, shape, and projection of your buttocks. Unlike butt implants, which introduce foreign materials into your body, a Brazilian butt lift procedure utilizes autologous fat transfer—a technique that harvests excess fat from areas where it’s unwanted and strategically injects it into the buttocks to create natural-looking curves. What sets our approach apart is Dr. Askari’s use of ultrasound-guided technology during the fat transfer process. This advanced technique allows him to visualize the exact placement of fat in real-time, ensuring that injections occur in the optimal tissue planes—never into muscles, blood vessels, or other structures where complications could arise. This level of precision not only maximizes safety but also optimizes transferred fat survival rates and aesthetic outcomes.
The result is a comprehensively transformed silhouette with slimmer contours where excess fat was removed and enhanced fullness and projection in the buttocks. Patients appreciate that Brazilian butt lift procedures at Revive Surgical Institute deliver natural-looking results that complement their overall body proportions while using only their own tissue—no artificial implants required.

Complementary Procedures: Enhancing
Your BBL Results
At Revive Surgical Institute, we understand that many patients wish to address multiple aesthetic concerns simultaneously. A Brazilian Butt Lift can be effectively combined with other procedures to create comprehensive body transformation results. Here are some popular complementary procedures to consider alongside your BBL:
Liposuction
While your BBL already includes liposuction to harvest fat for transfer, additional targeted liposuction can further sculpt areas like the upper back, arms, or inner thighs for a more harmonious overall silhouette.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
For patients concerned with excess abdominal skin or muscle separation, combining a tummy tuck with your BBL creates a dramatic transformation of both the front and back profiles.
Breast Augmentation or Lift
Create balanced proportions from every angle by enhancing or lifting your breasts in the same surgical session, completing the coveted hourglass figure.
Mommy Makeover Package
Many women choose to combine their BBL with breast and abdominal procedures for a comprehensive post-pregnancy body restoration.
Fat Transfer to Other Areas
The same fat harvesting technique used for your BBL can be utilized to add volume to areas like the breasts, hands, or face for natural-looking enhancements.
Body Contouring After Weight Loss
For patients who have experienced significant weight loss, a BBL can be part of a comprehensive body contouring plan to address multiple areas affected by skin laxity.
Dr. Askari will carefully evaluate your goals and health status to determine which combinations are safe and appropriate for your unique situation. During your consultation, we’ll discuss the benefits and recovery considerations for combining procedures, ensuring you achieve optimal results with the most efficient recovery timeline possible.
Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure: Step by Step
Comprehensive Initial Consultation and Planning
Every successful Brazilian butt lift in Miami begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Askari. During this initial meeting, he evaluates your anatomy, discusses your aesthetic goals, and creates a customized surgical plan. Digital imaging may be used to visualize potential outcomes, and Dr. Askari will explain both the benefits and limitations of the procedure based on your unique body type. This collaborative planning process ensures realistic expectations and optimal results.
Pre-Operative Preparation
Before your Brazilian butt lift procedure, you’ll receive detailed instructions for preparation. These typically include:
- Discontinuing blood-thinning medications and supplements 2-3 weeks before surgery
- Stopping smoking at least 4 weeks before and after surgery
- Arranging for post-operative care and transportation
- Completing necessary medical clearances and laboratory tests
- Preparing your recovery space with necessary supplies and comfort items
Anesthesia Administration
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.
Fat Harvesting Through Advanced Liposuction
Dr. Askari begins by making small, strategically placed incisions in the predetermined donor areas. Using VASER liposuction technology—an ultrasound-assisted technique—he gently loosens the fat cells before extracting them, which helps preserve their viability. The harvesting process is methodical and artistic, as Dr. Askari simultaneously contours these areas to remove excess fat and enhance your overall body silhouette.
Fat Processing and Precision Transfer with Ultrasound Guidance
The harvested fat undergoes a specialized purification process to separate viable fat cells from fluids and damaged cells, maximizing survival rates and ensuring the highest quality material for injection. Using the ultrasound-guided technique, Dr. Askari then carefully injects this purified fat into multiple layers of the buttocks. This multi-layered approach creates a natural buttocks shape while ensuring proper blood supply to the transferred fat. The ultrasound technology provides real-time visualization, allowing Dr. Askari to place the fat precisely where it will create the most aesthetically pleasing contours while avoiding critical structures.
Completion and Initial Recovery
Once the fat transfer is complete, the tiny incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures and dressed with sterile bandages. Compression garments are applied to both donor sites and treated areas to minimize swelling and support the newly contoured areas. After surgery, you’ll be monitored in our recovery area until you’re ready to return home. Dr. Askari’s team provides comprehensive post-operative care instructions and a supportive recovery plan to ensure optimal Brazilian butt lift recovery and results.
Recovery after Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery
Phase 1: Immediate Recovery (First Week)
During the first week after your Brazilian butt lift, you’ll experience moderate discomfort that will be managed with prescribed pain medication. A specialized compression garment must be worn 23 hours daily to support both donor and recipient areas. You’ll need to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks completely, and assistance will be required for basic activities. Short, gentle walks are encouraged to promote circulation, while sleep positions are limited to lying on your stomach or side. Bruising and swelling will peak and then begin to subside during this time. Special sitting pillows can be used for brief, necessary sitting (maximum 15-20 minutes). Your first follow-up appointment with Dr. Askari will occur during this phase to monitor your healing progress.
Phase 2: Early Healing (Weeks 2-3)
By weeks 2-3, most patients can return to desk work using specialized BBL pillows. Compression garments continue but may be reduced to 12-18 hours daily. Swelling noticeably decreases during this phase, and donor site discomfort significantly improves. Light walking can be extended, but you should avoid any exercises that increase your heart rate. Sleeping positions remain restricted to stomach or sides to protect the transferred fat. Light activities can be gradually resumed during this time, though you should avoid lifting anything over 5 pounds.
Phase 3: Progressive Improvement (Weeks 4-6)
During weeks 4-6, normal sitting can be gradually reintroduced for short periods. Most swelling subsides during this phase, revealing more defined buttock contours. Compression garment use is typically reduced to 8-12 hours daily. Light exercise may be resumed with Dr. Askari’s approval. Final results begin becoming visible as transferred fat cells establish permanent blood supply. Most patients return to their normal daily activities by the end of this phase.
Phase 4: Long-Term Results (2+ Months)
Between months 2-3, you can fully resume regular activities including exercise. This is when the final assessment of fat survival occurs, with approximately 60-80% of transferred fat typically remaining permanent. Compression garments are usually discontinued during this time, and final contours become established. You’ll have a long-term follow-up appointment to document your results. By 6 months and beyond, you’ll experience complete healing with stable, long-term results. Annual check-ups are recommended to maintain optimal outcomes. With stable weight maintenance, your Brazilian butt lift results can last 10-15+ years.

Benefits of Brazilian Butt Lift
Physical Benefits
- Comprehensive Body Contouring: Brazilian butt lift surgery provides dual-action enhancement by slimming donor areas while performing buttock augmentation, creating more harmonious overall proportions and potentially an hourglass figure.
- Natural-Looking Results: Using your own body fat ensures soft, natural texture and movement unlike the sometimes obvious appearance of butt implants.
- Reduced Cellulite Appearance: The strategic fat transfer can smooth dimpling and irregularities on the buttock surface.
- Improved Clothing Fit: Many patients report greater satisfaction with how clothing fits after their procedure, with jeans, dresses, and swimwear often fitting more flatteringly.
- Long-Lasting Outcomes: Once the transferred fat establishes a blood supply (typically 3-6 months post-procedure), results can last for many years with proper weight maintenance.
Emotional and Psychological Benefits
- Increased Self-Confidence: Many patients report significant improvements in body image and self-esteem following their Brazilian butt lift Miami procedure.
- Greater Body Satisfaction: The more proportionate silhouette often leads to reduced body dissatisfaction and increased comfort in various social situations.

- Enhanced Safety Protocol: Dr. Askari's ultrasound-guided technique significantly reduces risks associated with traditional Brazilian butt lift surgery procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions About
BBL Surgery
Frequently Asked Questions About BBL Surgery
How much fat can you remove and transfer?
On average, between 5 and 10 pounds (roughly 2 to 4.5 liters) of fat can be removed through liposuction, depending on your body type and the number of donor areas. However, not all of this fat is usable — after purification, Dr. Askari will transfer the healthiest portion to your buttocks. The amount transferred is carefully calibrated to achieve a natural shape while maximizing fat survival and minimizing risk.
Is a BBL better than butt implants?
During the first week after your Brazilian butt lift, you’ll experience moderate discomfort that will be managed with prescribed pain medication. A specialized compression garment must be worn 23 hours daily to support both donor and recipient areas. You’ll need to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks completely, and assistance will be required for basic activities. Short, gentle walks are encouraged to promote circulation, while sleep positions are limited to lying on your stomach or side. Bruising and swelling will peak and then begin to subside during this time. Special sitting pillows can be used for brief, necessary sitting (maximum 15-20 minutes). Your first follow-up appointment with Dr. Askari will occur during this phase to monitor your healing progress.
How long does a BBL last?
Results from a BBL are long-lasting — typically 10 to 15 years or more — especially when you maintain a stable weight. Around 60–80% of the transferred fat survives permanently after establishing a blood supply within the first few months. Significant weight fluctuations can impact the shape, so long-term maintenance plays a key role.
When can I sit normally after a BBL?
You’ll need to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for at least two weeks after surgery. After that, sitting with a special BBL pillow is allowed for short periods. Most patients can gradually return to normal sitting between weeks 4–6, depending on healing progress and Dr. Askari’s recommendations.
Can I get a BBL if I’m slim or don’t have much fat?
Even if you’re slim, you may still be a candidate for a BBL. Dr. Askari performs a detailed assessment to determine whether you have enough fat in the abdomen, flanks, back, or thighs. Slim patients may sometimes require more targeted liposuction or consider alternative contouring options if fat volume is insufficient.
