A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a cosmetic surgical procedure that enhances the size and shape of the buttocks using the patient’s own fat. Fat is harvested from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks through liposuction, purified, and then re-injected into the buttocks to create a fuller, more contoured appearance.

A BBL uses the patient’s own fat to enhance the buttocks, resulting in a more natural look and feel, whereas butt implants use silicone implants to achieve a more dramatic and firm enhancement. BBL also includes body contouring through liposuction, while implants do not.

Ideal candidates for a BBL are individuals with sufficient fat reserves in other parts of their body, good overall health, and realistic expectations. Non-smokers or those willing to quit before and after surgery are preferred to minimize complications. Candidates should also be near their ideal weight, as significant weight fluctuations can affect the results.

The risks of a BBL include fat absorption, where a portion of the transferred fat does not survive, fat embolism (a rare but serious risk), infection, and asymmetry. Choosing a highly experienced surgeon significantly reduces these risks. Healthcation ensures patients are connected with top-rated surgeons to minimize complications.

Recovery typically involves two weeks of avoiding direct pressure on the buttocks, requiring the use of special pillows or cushions when sitting. Swelling and discomfort in both the liposuctioned areas and buttocks are common, and full recovery can take several months. Healthcation provides detailed post-operative care instructions and support to ensure a smooth recovery.

The results of a BBL are long-lasting, but they depend on maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. While some fat absorption is normal, the fat that survives the transfer typically remains permanently, although aging and weight changes can affect the appearance over time.

Yes, a BBL is often combined with other procedures like a tummy tuck, additional liposuction, or breast augmentation to achieve more comprehensive body contouring results. Combining procedures allows for a single recovery period and more dramatic overall results

The cost of a BBL varies depending on the country: ● Turkey: Starting from $4,500 ● Thailand: Starting from $5,000 ● India: Starting from $4,000 ● South Korea: Starting from $6,500 ● Australia: Starting from $13,500

Initial results include swelling and may appear more pronounced immediately after surgery. Over several months, as the swelling subsides and the fat settles, the final contour and volume become apparent. About 60-80% of the transferred fat typically survives, leading to a slightly smaller but more stable final result.

When deciding between a BBL and butt implants, consider factors such as the natural look and feel of fat transfer versus the firmer, more pronounced enhancement of implants. BBL offers the added benefit of liposuction and body contouring, while implants may be more suitable for individuals with insufficient fat reserves for a BBL.
