What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a cosmetic surgery that enhances the size and shape of the
buttocks by using liposuction to remove excess fat from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or
flanks. This fat is then purified and injected into the buttocks, creating a fuller, more
contoured appearance. It is a popular alternative to buttock implants, offering a more natural
result with minimal scarring.
What is involved in Brazilian Butt Lift surgery?
Brazilian Butt Lift surgery involves two main steps: liposuction and fat grafting. First, Dr.
Sajan uses liposuction to remove excess fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks.
Then, the fat is purified and strategically re-injected into the buttocks to achieve a fuller,
lifted appearance. The procedure typically takes 2-3 hours, and general anesthesia or sedation
is used to keep you comfortable.
Am I a good candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift?
You may be a good candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift if you have excess fat in areas like the
abdomen or thighs and want to enhance the shape and size of your buttocks. You should be in good
overall health, at a stable weight, and not smoke. It’s important to have enough fat available
for liposuction since the procedure relies on fat transfer to the buttocks for the desired
results.
Brazilian Butt Lift vs. buttock implants: Which is better?
Both Brazilian Butt Lifts and buttock implants can enhance the appearance of the buttocks, but
each has its advantages. A BBL offers a more natural look since it uses your own fat for
augmentation. This also means a significantly lower risk of rejection.
Buttock implants, however, may provide more predictable and consistent results, especially for
those with insufficient fat for a BBL. The best option depends on your body type, aesthetic
goals, and what Dr. Sajan recommends for your individual needs and goals.
