Brazilian Butt Lift
What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a plastic surgical procedure designed to enhance the shape and size of the buttocks using your own body fat. During the procedure, fat is harvested through liposuction from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, purified, and then strategically injected into the buttocks. This creates a fuller, more lifted appearance without the need for implants, offering a natural looking contour.
-
Q: Is a BBL safe?
A: When performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in fat transfer techniques such as Dr. Hurtado, a BBL is generally safe.
-
Q: How long is the recovery time?
A: Most patients return to light activities within 1–2 weeks, with full recovery in 4–6 weeks. Sitting directly on your buttocks should be avoided for the first few weeks.
-
Q: How long do the results last?
A: The results can be long-lasting, especially with stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. Typically, about 80% of the transferred fat survives permanently.
-
Q: Will I have scars?
A: Liposuction incisions are small and usually fade over time. The fat injection process itself does not leave visible scars.
