Brazilian Butt Lift
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) enhances the shape, projection, and contour of the buttocks using your own fat. Unlike buttock implants, this procedure uses liposuction to remove fat from areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, which is then reinjected into the buttocks for a fuller, more perky silhouette.
At Appleby Plastic Surgery, we prioritize balance, proportion, and safety. Our team carefully plans each BBL surgery to enhance your figure while maintaining a natural, anatomically appropriate look.

—
BBL surgery has two parts: fat removal and fat grafting. We start by performing liposuction on areas with excess fat, such as the stomach, waist, or thighs. After purifying the harvested fat, we reinject it into specific regions of the buttocks to build volume, and improve shape and contour.
Your surgical plan will include:

how it
This surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia. Not all fat will survive the transfer, which is why we slightly over-correct during the procedure.
This procedure is often part of post-weight loss body contouring or included in a customized Mommy Makeover plan.
Liposuction
of the abdomen, flanks, back, and/or thighs.
Strategic fat transfer
to reshape the upper, mid, or lower buttocks
Compression garments

In general, here’s what most BBL patients experience:
Support garments worn for 4 to 6 weeks to support healing and shape.
No direct sitting or lying on the buttocks for 2 weeks.
Most patients return to light activity and desk work within 10 to 14 days.

why choose
Liposuction incisions are small and placed discreetly. Scars from fat transfer are minimal and usually fade with time.
Can I sit after surgery?
You’ll need to avoid direct pressure on the buttocks for at least 2 weeks. We’ll provide tips, options for cushions, and positioning advice to help.
What are the risks?
BBLs require technical precision. Our team uses safe, evidence-based techniques to minimize risk and maximize results.
Can I combine BBL with other procedures?
Yes. Many patients pair it with a Tummy Tuck, Liposuction, or include it in a Mommy Makeover.

Will there be visible scars?
Some fat naturally reabsorbs within the first few months, but the surviving fat cells remain long-term if you maintain a stable weight.
