What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

Our Brazillian butt lift, or BBL, in Chicago aims for significant improvement in the size, shape, and contour of the buttocks. Dr. Neema Bayran and our expert plastic surgeons will often perform a composite procedure: buttock implants complemented with natural fat grafting. The Brazilian butt lift (BBL) provides multiple enhancements to the buttock area, including volume, improved tone, cellulite reduction, and added lift. The procedure typically involves high-definition liposculpture; water-assisted fat grafting; internal and/or external radiofrequency energy devices, and Sculptra®.

How should I prepare for a Brazilian Butt Lift in Chicago?

In order to have the smoothest procedure possible, there are several things we recommend. You will need someone to be with you for 24 hours following the procedure, including driving you home. Be sure to have everything you’ll need for recovery already at home waiting for you. This will include items such as antibacterial soap, ice packs, and a donut pillow. We will provide you with a list of everything you’ll need for recovery. 

What Happens During the Procedure?

A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is done under general anesthesia. Before the procedure begins, your skin will be cleansed and marked to act as a blueprint. 

For the buttock implants, an incision will be created within the butt crease. From this incision, the silicone implants will be inserted either into or above the gluteal muscle on each side. 

For the fat grafting portion of the procedure, fat will be removed from one part of the body where it can be spared using liposuction, and the fat will then be purified through the Puregraft® filtration system and enriched with your own growth factors and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) before it is transferred to the gluteal tissues. This process allows for the greatest longevity and viability.

Internal and/or external radiofrequency energy devices and/or Sculptra may also be utilized. If it’s determined that these procedures should be included in your Brazilian butt lift, we will take you step-by-step through the procedure during your consultation.

The Liquid Butt Enhancement

A liquid butt enhancement that uses only injectables. As mentioned above, these injectables can include your very own fat or Sculptra®—or a combination of both.

When it comes to using your own fat, because the “filler” comes from your body (usually the hips, abdomen, lower back, or thighs), one of the biggest advantages is that there’s no risk of an allergic reaction or your body rejecting it. Another advantage is that the results look and feel very natural.

Sculptra® is also used in a liquid but lift for some patients. This dermal filler is excellent for adding volume to a flat or small butt, and it also stimulates brand-new collagen growth—which means firmer smoother skin. Sculptra effectively fills out droopy, saggy tissues and achieves a shapely new lift and contour. Results can last up to two years.

Recovery from BBL

Your BBL recovery will take about 3-4 weeks. You may need to wear compression garments to help minimize swelling and keep harvested fat placed properly. To further ensure the results are outstanding, do not sit down directly on your buttocks, swim, or engage in sexual activity for three weeks. Sleep on your side or stomach at night for the same period. This allows the tissues or implants to settle gently and correctly.

After about two weeks, you will be able to return to work, but do not do anything strenuous. By 3-4 weeks after your procedure, you will be nearly healed. By 6-8 weeks after your procedure, with an okay from your surgeon, you will be free to exercise vigorously or do any of your other usual more strenuous activities.

FAQ

What about silicone injections?

When will I see my results?

How long does a BBL last?

How much should you weigh for a BBL?

Can you get a BBL if you're skinny?

What do BBL scars look like?

How do I not sit after a BBL?

What about silicone injections?

A longtime expert in the art of body sculpting and contouring, Dr. Bayran advises all of his patients against permanent silicone injections. These permanent injections come with long-term consequences and potentially dangerous side effects.

When will I see my results?

Although you’ll be able to see early results instantly following the procedure, there will be swelling for about two weeks. It takes approximately six months for the results to be settled and final. If your weight remains the same and doesn’t fluctuate, the results from your BBL will last for years. 

How long does a BBL last?

Results from a Brazilian butt lift will last for five years or even longer.

How much should you weigh for a BBL?

Patients should be stably at a BMI of 32 or less, ideally about 20-30 pounds above their ideal weight.

Can you get a BBL if you're skinny?

If your BMI is particularly low, you may not qualify. Your BMI should be normal to moderately elevated to ensure you have enough fat for transfer.

What do BBL scars look like?

Scars are small dots, about 5 millimeters in diameter. These generally heal well and become almost invisible.

How do I not sit after a BBL?

Use soft pillows and lie on your tummy or side as much as possible. As healing progresses, use a doughnut pillow and a standing desk as much as you can.
