What is Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery?

Brazilian Butt Lift surgery is a comprehensive body contouring procedure that uses liposuction to harvest fat from areas of your body and transfers it to the buttocks. This technique not only lifts and enhances the shape of the buttocks but also slims and contours other areas for a complete transformation.

Liposuction

Fat is gently removed from selected donor sites, typically the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or back, using advanced liposuction techniques to preserve fat viability and sculpt the body.

Fat purification

The extracted fat is purified to isolate healthy, viable fat cells. This process ensures that only the best-quality fat is reinjected, increasing the chances of long-term retention.

Fat transfer to buttocks

Dr. Diaz strategically injects the purified fat into various layers of the buttocks and hips to create smooth, even volume and natural projection. His micro-layering technique ensures excellent shape and minimizes risk of complications.

Who is a Good Candidate for Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery?

Brazilian Butt Lift surgery is ideal for individuals seeking to enhance their body curves and achieve better proportions. Whether for aesthetic enhancement or comprehensive body contouring, this procedure can provide transformative benefits. Here is what makes a good candidate for Brazilian Butt Lift surgery:

Body Contouring Goals

Brazilian Butt Lift is perfect for those seeking:

  • Fuller, lifted, and more contoured buttocks
  • Enhanced body curves and hourglass silhouette
  • Better proportion between waist and hips
  • Natural-looking enhancement using their own fat

Physical Requirements

Good candidates typically have:

  • Sufficient fat in donor areas for harvesting
  • Good skin elasticity for optimal results
  • Stable weight within their ideal range
  • Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Health and Lifestyle Factors

Ideal candidates should:

  • Be in overall good health and non-smokers
  • Be committed to following post-operative instructions
  • Have a stable weight and healthy lifestyle habits
  • Understand the recovery process and limitations

Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery FAQs

Is a Brazilian Butt Lift permanent?

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.

Should I gain weight before my BBL?

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.

Is fat grafting to the buttocks painful?

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.

 Is a Brazilian Butt Lift safe?

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.

How long does a Brazilian Butt Lift last?

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.

How long is recovery after a Brazilian Butt Lift?

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. A compression garment is worn to reduce swelling and support your new shape. Full results appear gradually over 3–6 months as the fat settles and swelling resolves. Dr. Diaz provides a tailored recovery plan to ensure comfort, safety, and beautiful long-term results.

What are the risks of BBL surgery?

As with any surgery, BBL includes some risks—such as fat reabsorption, asymmetry, bruising, or infection. However, choosing a board-certified expert like Dr. Diaz significantly reduces those risks. He follows the highest safety protocols and uses advanced techniques to minimize complications.

What happens during a Brazilian Butt Lift?

The procedure begins with liposuction to remove unwanted fat from areas like the abdomen, waist, or thighs. The fat is then purified and strategically injected into the buttocks to enhance shape and volume. Dr. Diaz sculpts each layer with precision to ensure a smooth, natural result.

How much does Brazilian Butt Lift surgery cost in Beverly Hills?

In Beverly Hills, Brazilian Butt Lift surgery typically ranges from $15,000 to $25,000, depending on the complexity of your case and the amount of liposuction required. This comprehensive fee includes surgeon fees, anesthesia, facility costs, and follow-up care. We offer flexible financing options to help make your procedure more accessible.

How much fat can be transferred safely during a BBL?

Dr. John Diaz transfers the appropriate amount of fat to create natural, proportional results, typically within the accepted safety guidelines for high-success fat grafting.

How soon can I sit or lie on my back after BBL surgery?

It is recommended that patients avoid or reduce pressure directly on the buttocks for 3-4 weeks. A wide variety of sitting and sleeping pillows are available to help with this. Dr. Diaz will provide you with specific instructions during your consultation. 

Can I combine BBL with liposuction or other body contouring procedures?

Yes — Dr. Diaz frequently combines liposuction with BBL to contour the waist and improve overall proportions, and additional procedures may be possible depending on your goals.

What type of anesthesia is used during fat grafting procedures to the buttocks (Brazilian Butt Lift/ BBL)

BBL surgery is performed under general anesthesia to ensure comfort and safety throughout the procedure.

Do I need to follow a special diet or supplements after BBL to maintain results?

A balanced diet with adequate hydration and protein supports healing, and Dr. Diaz may recommend specific supplements based on your individual recovery needs.

Is a BBL suitable for patients who previously had implants or buttock surgery?

In many cases, yes — Dr. Diaz evaluates each patient’s anatomy and prior procedures to determine if fat transfer is a safe, effective option.

How much time off work or daily activities is recommended after a BBL?

Most patients need about one to two weeks off work, depending on activity level, and Dr. Diaz will provide personalized guidelines for returning to normal routines.
