Brazilian Butt Lift in Beverly Hills

While no cosmetic procedure can stop the aging process, a BBL offers long-lasting results. Once the transferred fat establishes a blood supply—typically within 3–4 months—it becomes a living part of your body. With stable weight and proper care, your enhanced shape can last for many years.

No. Dr. Diaz does not recommend gaining weight for surgery. Ideal candidates are already at or near their target weight with sufficient fat in areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. Gaining weight may result in uneven or unpredictable outcomes.

Most patients describe the recovery as manageable, with soreness similar to an intense workout. Discomfort typically comes from the liposuction areas rather than the buttocks themselves. Pain is controlled with prescribed medication and improves significantly within the first week.

When performed by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Diaz, the BBL is a safe and effective procedure. Dr. Diaz uses advanced fat injection techniques and prioritizes patient safety at every step, adhering to the latest industry standards and best practices.

Once the fat settles and stabilizes, results can last 10 years or more. The longevity of your outcome depends on maintaining a consistent weight, healthy lifestyle, and following post-op care instructions. Think of your BBL as a long-term investment in your silhouette.

Recovery typically takes several weeks, with most patients returning to light activities in 10–14 days. You’ll need to avoid sitting or lying directly on your buttocks for at least two weeks.
