What Is Brazilian
Butt Lift?
A Brazilian butt lift, commonly referred to as a BBL, is a specialized cosmetic surgery that enhances the size and shape of the buttocks. During this procedure, Dr. Nesiba uses liposuction to remove excess fat from certain areas, such as the abdomen or thighs. This harvested tissue is processed and purified before being carefully injected into the buttocks. A BBL augments the backside naturally and creates a more curved, lifted shape. This procedure is becoming increasingly popular because it makes the body look youthful and attractive.
Consultation & Preparation for Brazilian Butt Lift
The initial consultation for a BBL allows Dr. Nesiba to evaluate the patient’s health, examine their trouble areas, discuss their goals, and explain the risks. He also determines whether the individual has enough excess fat that can be harvested to augment their buttocks. If the patient is overweight, we must postpone the surgical procedure until the weight decreases. Dr. Nesiba may also order blood tests, medical clearances, and imaging.
Before the surgery, the patient must follow all pre-operative instructions carefully. This includes discontinuing certain medications and supplements that increase bleeding risks. Smoking must also be stopped well in advance. Patients should arrange for someone to assist them for at least 24 hours after surgery. We also recommend preparing soft foods, ice packs, a BBL pillow, and other recovery items.
The night before the Brazilian butt lift, the patients cannot eat or drink anything because it may increase the risk of surgical complications. We give detailed instructions about cleansing the areas that will be operated on.
Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure
Anesthesia
The Brazilian butt lift is performed under general anesthesia to ensure that the patient remains completely unconscious, immobilized, and without painful sensations throughout the procedure. Our anesthesiologist provides IV medication to put the patient to sleep. Vital signs, including heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels, are closely monitored during surgery.
Incisions
Tiny incisions are made at various sites where liposuction will be performed, such as the abdomen, flanks, lower back, or thighs. These entry points allow for targeted fat removal. The size and location of the incisions may vary, depending on the patient’s treatment plan.
Liposuction
A tumescent solution (lidocaine, epinephrine, and saline) is injected into the areas of fat harvesting. Then, Dr. Nesiba uses a VASER® probe that generates ultrasound waves to break down fat cells and liquefy them. This device includes a thin tube (called a cannula) that suctions out the melted fat using gentle vacuum pressure. The amount of collected tissue depends on the patient’s deposits and aesthetic goals. There should be enough fat to achieve the desired cosmetic improvements.
Purification
The harvested fat is processed and purified to isolate the healthiest tissue. This helps improve the viability and longevity of the transferred fat. Processing may involve washing, filtering, and centrifuging until the purified tissue is ready for implantation.
Fat Grafting
The tissue is then inserted through incisions in the buttocks. The surgeon uses special tools to meticulously place small amounts of fat with each pass for an even shape and distribution. Artistic precision helps create beautiful, natural-looking contours. Multiple layers of fat are injected at various depths to support long-lasting results.
Incision Closure
The small incisions are closed using dissolvable sutures. This allows optimal healing and minimizes the risk of infection, scarring, or fluid accumulation under the skin.
Recovery After Brazilian Butt Lift
Early Recovery
In the first week after butt augmentation, patients can expect significant swelling, bruising, and discomfort. They wear compression garments to reduce symptoms and sleep on the abdomen to avoid putting pressure on the backside. Patients must also use BBL pillows if they need to sit for some time, but it is best to only stand or lie on the abdomen during recovery. Light walking is encouraged to promote blood flow.
2-4 Weeks
During this period, swelling, bruising, and soreness decrease substantially. Patients may slowly return to non-strenuous jobs and engage in light activities. It is best to consult with Dr. Nesiba to understand how to organize work and leisure to support healing and preserve the results of buttock augmentation.
1-3 Months
Most swelling and bruising resolve within 6-12 weeks. The compression garment is no longer required, and patients can usually resume normal activities. Exercise may be gradually reintroduced, but heavy lifting and other intense physical activity should wait until the end of the recovery period. It takes about 3-6 months for the full effects of the procedure to become visible.
Candidates for Brazilian Butt Lift
When considering a Brazilian butt lift, it is important to determine if the patient is a good candidate. This procedure may benefit certain individuals more than others. Here are the main characteristics of BBL candidates:
Enough own fat
Common areas include the abdomen, sides, lower back, or thighs. Fat transfer is a crucial procedure in a BBL, so there should be enough tissue
to achieve the desired outcomes.
Close to their ideal weight
Significant fluctuations in body mass can negatively impact results over time. Therefore, patients must have stable weight.
Good skin elasticity
The skin should be able to stretch
to accommodate the added volume placed beneath it.
Realistic expectations
Patients must understand that the recovery process involves significant discomfort
and requires time.
Good health
Candidates should not have chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease,
or lung disease, that increase surgery risks.
Non-smokers
Nicotine consumption may affect the healing processes and make the body more susceptible to bleeding during plastic surgery.
Benefits of Brazilian Butt Lift
The number of BBLs performed in the U.S. increased by 3% between 2022 and 2023, reaching almost 30,000 yearly procedures. This surgery is growing in popularity because it is the best way to enhance the shape and size of the buttocks. The main benefits of a Brazilian butt lift include:
Creates a more curvy, hourglass figure by making the buttocks fuller and rounder
Utilizes the patient's own body fat so there are no issues with allergic reactions
Makes loose skin on the buttocks appear tighter
Provides some slimming to areas where liposuction is performed
Boosts confidence and self-image
The results look more natural compared to buttock implants and last 10+ years
How to Maintain the Results of the BBL in the Long Term
Maintain a Healthy Diet and Lifestyle
Making healthy lifestyle choices is crucial for maintaining the Brazilian butt lift results. Patients must have a nutritious diet of lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables. Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water daily is also important. Patients must get sufficient sleep and exercise regularly. They should also maintain a healthy weight because significant fluctuations can impact results.

Be Diligent
With Skin Care
Patients must care for their skin closely after a BBL. They should use gentle cleansers and moisturizers recommended by Dr. Nesiba. It is important to avoid direct sun exposure in the treated areas. We do not recommend taking very hot tubs, saunas, or steam rooms. Following meticulous skin care and sun protection protocols will help patients maintain smooth skin texture.

Schedule Follow-Up Treatments
In each case, Dr. Nesiba recommends follow-up treatments to help the patient maintain their BBL results in the long term. These may include massage, ultrasound, or radiofrequency therapies. It is best to complete all recommended follow-up treatments on schedule. Patients should also attend appointments for additional skin tightening, laser treatments, or injections that may be suggested. All of these measures will help to extend the results of the Brazilian butt lift.
