Frequently asked questions

• How is the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure performed?

  The BBL procedure involves two main steps: liposuction and fat transfer. Fat is first extracted from designated areas of the body, processed to remove impurities, and then strategically injected into various parts of the buttocks to achieve a fuller and more rounded look. This process not only enhances the buttocks but also contours the areas where fat was removed​.

• What is the recovery process like for a Brazilian Butt Lift?

  Recovery from a BBL involves swelling and bruising for a few weeks, with most of the swelling subsiding after six weeks. Patients are advised to avoid sitting directly on their buttocks for up to three weeks to ensure optimal fat survival. Compression garments are typically worn to reduce swelling and support the new body contour. Most patients can return to work within a couple of weeks but should avoid strenuous activities for up to six weeks​.
