If you want more shape, projection, or balance through the hips and buttocks, a Brazilian Butt Lift can create a fuller silhouette using your own body fat. At our San Francisco plastic surgery practice, we take a personalized approach to body contouring, focusing on proportions that complement your natural frame.
What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
A Brazilian Butt Lift, commonly called a BBL, is a body contouring procedure that combines liposuction with fat transfer. Fat is removed from selected areas of the body, processed, and strategically transferred to the buttocks to improve volume and shape.
Because liposuction is part of the procedure, a BBL can address more than buttock volume alone. Removing unwanted fat from areas such as the abdomen, waist, flanks, or thighs can further define the surrounding contours and emphasize the new shape.
How Can a BBL Change Your Silhouette?
The goal of a Brazilian Butt Lift is not simply to create a larger backside. Careful fat placement can help improve overall proportions and create a smoother transition between the waist, hips, and buttocks.
Depending on your anatomy and aesthetic goals, a BBL may help:
• Add volume to naturally flatter buttocks
• Improve projection and roundness
• Enhance hip-to-waist proportions
• Address unevenness or asymmetry
• Sculpt surrounding areas through liposuction
• Create a more balanced overall body contour
During a consultation at our San Francisco office, we evaluate your existing proportions, available donor fat, skin quality, and desired outcome to develop an individualized surgical plan.
Combining Fat Transfer With Body Contouring
Sometimes, achieving the desired silhouette involves addressing more than one area. In addition to Brazilian Butt Lift surgery, Dr. Bermudez offers body contouring procedures including liposuction, abdominoplasty, lower body lift, thigh lift, arm lift, and mommy makeover surgery.
For example, liposuction may be used to further define the waist and surrounding areas, while patients with significant loose abdominal skin may be better suited for an abdominoplasty as part of a broader body contouring plan. The right approach depends on your anatomy rather than a one-size-fits-all formula.
Is a Brazilian Butt Lift Right for You?
Good candidates generally need enough available body fat for transfer and should have realistic expectations about what surgery can achieve. Maintaining a stable weight is also important because significant weight fluctuations can affect both the areas treated with liposuction and the transferred fat.
