Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery
If you’ve dreamed of a fuller, lifted, and more contoured backside, the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) may be the perfect solution. At the private Beverly Hills practice of renowned plastic surgeon Dr. John Diaz, patients receive personalized body sculpting with natural-looking, head-turning results. Using your body’s own fat, Dr. Diaz enhances the shape and volume of the buttocks while slimming other areas—helping you achieve the silhouette you’ve always desired.
What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
A Brazilian Butt Lift is a cosmetic procedure that uses liposuction to harvest fat from one or more areas of the 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 such as the abdomen, thighs, love handles, or lower back.
Unlike butt implants, BBLs use your own natural fat for a softer, more realistic look and feel. It’s the ideal choice for women who want a fuller figure without the risks associated with synthetic materials.
Benefits of a Brazilian Butt Lift:
- Natural, effortless beauty
- Contours and enhances your body
- No implants or foreign material
- Results that truly last
- Refined, full-body harmony
- Elevates your silhouette

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.

Procedure 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 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.
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.
How long is the 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.
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.
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.
Does a BBL make your tummy flat?
Yes—many patients experience a flatter, more contoured midsection as a result of liposuction. While BBL is not a tummy tuck, removing fat from the waistline enhances the hourglass effect and improves your overall proportions.
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.
