What is Brazilian Butt Lift?

The Brazilian Butt Lift, more commonly referred to as a BBL, is a highly sought-after procedure that involves using your body’s fat to enhance the shape and size of your buttocks. It combines Liposuction and Fat Transfer techniques where excess fat is removed from one area of your body and strategically transferred to your buttocks to create a lifted and curved appearance. Fat is injected above the gluteal muscles, in the subcutaneous plane, which has been shown to be critical for safety in this procedure. Since this gluteal fat transfer process uses your own fat cells, it is considered natural.

Many of our patients who have received a Brazilian Butt Lift have experienced the following benefits:
