Brazilian Butt Lift
At Plastic Surgery Northwest, our Brazilian Butt Lift procedure is designed to enhance your natural curves by transferring your own fat to the buttocks for a fuller, more balanced silhouette. This advanced technique not only adds volume and shape but also contours the areas around the waist, hips, and thighs—creating a more defined and sculpted figure. Our board-certified plastic surgeons prioritize safety, symmetry, and your desired aesthetic to deliver beautiful, natural-looking results.

Before & Afters
Common Questions & FAQs
How long do Brazilian Butt Lift results last?
BBL results can be long-lasting, as the transferred fat can establish a blood supply and survive long-term. However, significant weight fluctuations can impact the results.
Will all the transferred fat survive?
Not all transferred fat survives. Typically, a portion of the injected fat (ranging from 30-70%) will establish itself in the buttocks, while the rest may be reabsorbed by the body. Surgeons often account for this by slightly overfilling the area.
What’s the difference between a BBL and butt implants?
A BBL uses your own fat, harvested through liposuction, to augment the buttocks, providing a more natural look and feel. Butt implants are silicone devices surgically inserted to add volume and shape.
What are the risks and expected recovery time?
Risks associated with BBL include infection, bleeding, fat embolism, and asymmetry. The expected recovery involves initial swelling and bruising for a few weeks, with most patients returning to normal activities within 2-3 weeks and full recovery in 6-8 weeks. Following post-operative instructions carefully is crucial for optimal healing and results.
