Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a transformative way to achieve fuller, more lifted curves without implants. By using your body’s own fat to enhance the shape of the buttocks, this procedure creates a smoother, more balanced silhouette while contouring other areas like the abdomen, hips, or thighs. At Cultura, we focus on natural-looking results that reflect your unique proportions and goals.

What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

The Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is a procedure that enhances the size and shape of the buttocks without implants. Instead, it relies on liposuction to transfer harvested fat to the buttocks from another area of the body, providing a more noticeable, shapely appearance. At Cultura Dermatology and Plastic Surgery in Washington, DC, Dr. Kelly Bolden, FACS specializes in BBL procedures that can enhance the patient’s figure and achieve a more balanced look.

Good Candidates for Brazilian Butt Lift 

Ideal candidates for a Brazilian butt lift are patients looking to enhance the appearance of their buttocks without the use of synthetic implants. For best results, candidates should have sufficient fat in areas like the stomach or thighs and have good overall health. They should also have realistic expectations about the surgical process and results. 

The Advantages of Brazilian Butt Lift

Enhanced Body Contour

Creates a fuller, rounder butt profile.

Natural Results

Uses the patient’s body fat, making the results look and feel natural.

Improved Proportion

Balances the body’s proportions by enhancing the buttock area.

Additional Body Contouring

Reduces unwanted fat from other areas like the abdomen, hips, or thighs through liposuction.

Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure 

The BBL procedure involves two main steps: 

Fat Transfer: The extracted fat is then purified and reinjected into the buttocks using careful planning and an eye for aesthetics. 

Fat Extraction: Liposuction removes fat from areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. 

The results of a Brazilian butt lift are visible immediately, but the final results will be apparent only once the swelling subsides and the fat stabilizes, typically within several months. The results are long-lasting, provided patients maintain a stable weight and follow directions. 

Common Related Procedures

The Brazilian butt lift is a two-step procedure, with liposuction providing the harvested fat for injection into the buttocks. Liposuction of multiple areas with the goal of sculpturing the waist, back, and abdomen enhances the results of the Brazilian butt lift. Patients enjoy this additional body contouring that comes with the procedure. A Brazilian butt lift may be included in a mommy makeover or paired with a thigh lift. Dr. Bolden can recommend your best options.
