Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

A Brazilian butt lift is a cosmetic procedure to augment the size and shape of the buttocks using fat transfer. Many patients remain unhappy with their buttocks despite a healthy diet and exercise. This is because, in some cases, exercise alone cannot achieve the buttocks size and contour that they desire. By reshaping the buttocks and surrounding areas, a Brazilian butt lift can help you achieve a more proportionate overall figure.

Who is a Candidate?

Individuals who are looking to improve the size and shape of their buttocks without the use of implants can often benefit from a Brazilian butt lift. Ideal candidates will have good skin tone, have enough fat in other areas of the body to harvest for injection into the buttocks, and be overall healthy, nonsmokers.

Dr. Willis and his staff were amazing! Very calm, clean and professional atmosphere. They were inviting and attentive. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I went in for a consultation and had my lip filler procedure in the same day. Quick and painless. The results are perfect. I highly recommend Dr.Willis and taking advantage of the referral program. 10/10!

Dr.Willis and staff are incredible! They treat their patients with such high respect and make you feel right at home during your procedure. They are experienced and dedicated to making things right. You leave the office feeling really good about yourself and the work they’ve performed! I’ve had Fillers and Botox but would recommend anything!

I have had the best experience with Dr. Willis and Leah. I have had filler, Dysport, and I've been under the knife with Dr. Willis and I've been so happy with all of my results. I actually feel like a part of their family, I can call whenever I need anything and they both make me feel like they care about me and my results.

I am over the moon with my results from Dr. Willis after a breast lift and an abdominoplasty. Dr. Willis and his team are so easy to work with. He listened to what I wanted and gave me beautiful results- better than I could have even hoped for. If you’re thinking about getting a procedure done with Dr. Willis my advice would be DO IT!

The Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure

This procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis using general, local, or intravenous sedation. There are three basic steps involved in performing a Brazilian butt lift, which includes the following.

1. Fat is collected from the abdomen, thighs, lower back, hips, or other areas using liposuction.
2. This extracted fat is then purified and prepared for transfer into the buttocks.
3. Dr. Willis will artfully inject the fat into specific areas of the buttocks in order to improve the overall shape and increase volume.

It is completely normal for some of the injected fat not to “take”, which is why a slighter greater amount of fat than is needed will be injected initially. This will ensure that your results line up with your desired outcome.

Recovery

After your BBL procedure, you may experience mild discomfort, which can be controlled with pain medication. You will need to avoid sitting or lying directly on your buttocks for two weeks following this surgery. This means that you will have to sleep on your stomach or side. Once you are ready, Dr. Willis will have you sit using a “donut” pillow, which will avoid placing pressure directly on the buttocks. After about eight weeks you will be able to sit normally again. Dr. Willis will give you special instructions regarding how to care for your surgical site during recovery. Most people can return to work within two weeks.
