A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a popular procedure that enhances the shape and volume of the buttocks using your body’s own fat. This natural approach to body contouring creates fuller, more lifted buttocks while refining your overall silhouette.
At Advanced Plastic Surgery Center in Arlington, VA, our board-certified surgeons specialize in safe and effective BBL procedures to help you achieve your ideal figure.
What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
A Brazilian Butt Lift is a fat transfer procedure that enhances the buttocks without implants. The process involves:
- Liposuction – Removing unwanted fat from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks.
- Fat Purification – Processing the extracted fat to ensure only the healthiest cells are used.
- Fat Injection – Strategically injecting the purified fat into the buttocks for a natural, shapely enhancement.
This procedure provides long-lasting, natural-looking results by utilizing your own fat cells.
Am I a Candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift?
You may be a good candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift if you:
- Want a fuller, rounder, or more lifted buttocks
- Have excess fat in other areas for liposuction
- Are in good overall health and maintain a stable weight
- Have good skin elasticity for optimal fat transfer results
- Do not smoke or are willing to quit before surgery
A consultation with one of our plastic surgeons, Dr. Munasifi or Dr. Economides, will determine if a BBL is right for you.

Final results become visible as swelling subsides and the body adjusts to the fat transfer.
What is the Recovery Time?
Recovery time for a Brazilian Butt Lift varies, but most patients can expect:
- First few days: Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort managed with pain medication.
- 1-2 weeks: We recommend taking gentle walks to promote circulation and aid healing.
- 2-3 weeks: You should feel close to your normal self, though it is best to avoid strenuous activities during this time.
- 1 month: You can resume most of your regular activities.
- 3-4 months: Final results are visible as the body absorbs and settles the transferred fat.
Following post-operative instructions is key to a smooth recovery and optimal fat retention.
