Brazilian Butt Lift in Miami, Florida

For centuries, the shape of a woman’s body has been seen as a symbol of glamour. This elegant form is well-known for its curves, particularly in the lower part of the body. The Brazilian buttocks lift aims to enhance a woman’s shape by making the buttocks fuller and more supple through fat transfer techniques. If you’re looking for a way to achieve a more rounded and full backside, a Brazilian butt lift might be just what you need.

At Balto Plastic Surgery in Miami, FL, we specialize in enhancing your natural beauty with the most advanced cosmetic procedures, including the Brazilian butt lift. Led by Dr. Pablo Baltodano, MD, we provide transformative butt augmentation services that sculpt and contour your body to harmonize with your natural proportions.

What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

A Brazilian butt lift, often referred to as BBL, is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at enhancing the shape and size of the buttocks and hips. This method of gluteal augmentation involves removing excess fat from areas of the body such as the abdomen, hips, lower back, or thighs through liposuction and then injecting that fat into the buttocks and hips to provide more volume and contour.

Benefits of a Brazilian Butt Lift

Natural Results

Using your body’s fat ensures the enhanced buttocks feel and look natural. This seamless integration with your physique ensures an aesthetically pleasing outcome that harmonizes with your body’s proportions. Soon after the fat is transferred, it begins to integrate with the surrounding tissues in a way that lends a natural-looking appearance. 

Improved Body Contour

Fat removal from other areas during a BBL leads to a more sculpted and contoured appearance. This dual-action approach enhances the buttocks and refines areas like the abdomen, hips, and thighs. Best of all, the fat cells removed from the donor site are permanently gone.

Reduced Risk of Complications

Since the procedure uses your fat, the risk of rejection or allergic reactions is significantly minimized. This aspect of BBL surgery contributes to a safer and more comfortable recovery process.

Lasting Results

The results of a Brazilian butt lift are designed to last. With proper care and maintenance, the enhanced shape and volume of the buttocks can endure for years, offering long-term satisfaction.

Minimally Invasive

Compared to traditional buttock augmentation methods, a BBL is less invasive. This approach reduces recovery time and associated discomfort, making it a convenient option for many.

Enhanced Curves

BBL surgery specifically targets the enhancement of the buttocks, creating more pronounced and appealing curves. This benefit directly addresses the desire for a fuller, more voluptuous backside. The toning effect from removing fat from the donor site allows for a more comprehensive enhancement to your overall silhouette. 

Customizable Outcomes

The procedure offers tailored results based on individual body types and aesthetic goals. This personalization ensures that the outcome meets each patient’s unique desires. Throughout the pre-op planning process, we invite all patients to share with us their unique vision for and expectations of the procedure. 

Quick Recovery

Recovery from a BBL is relatively quicker than from more invasive surgical procedures. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few weeks, making it a practical choice for those with busy lifestyles.

Effective Fat Utilization

The Brazilian butt lift is an efficient way to use unwanted body fat, transforming it into an asset rather than a concern. This benefit aligns to achieve a more desirable body shape. It also allows us to target stubborn fat deposits that may be resistant to conventional diet- and exercise-based weight loss strategies.

No Implant-Related Concerns

By avoiding using artificial implants, patients do not face the risks associated with implant-based procedures, such as shifting or the need for replacement. During the procedure, we will carefully position and contour the transferred fat to ensure the most aesthetically pleasing result. This advantage makes BBL an attractive option for natural enhancement.

Candidate for Brazilian Butt Lifts

​As for the candidates, individuals who are generally good candidates for a Brazilian butt lift are those who:

  • Desire a more rounded, shapely, or proportionate buttock appearance
  • Have enough fat deposits in other areas of their body, such as the abdomen, flanks, and back or other areas that can be used for the fat transfer
  • Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results of the procedure
  • Have a stable body weight, as significant weight fluctuations can affect the outcome of the surgery.

What Should You Expect for a Brazilian Butt Lift?

Initial Consultation

During your initial consultation with our skilled plastic surgeon, you will have the opportunity to discuss your goals, concerns, and desired outcomes for your BBL. Our surgeon will carefully evaluate your individual anatomy and work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan.

Pre-operative Preparation

Once you have decided to proceed with the Brazilian butt lift procedure, our dedicated team will provide you with detailed instructions to ensure you are fully prepared for your surgery. This will include information on any necessary lab work, medications, and preoperative restrictions.

Surgery Day

On the day of your BBL, you will be welcomed to our facility, where our team will make you feel comfortable and at ease. Our surgeon will perform the surgery using advanced techniques to achieve natural-looking, beautifully contoured results. Our team will be by your side throughout the entire process to ensure your safety and comfort.

Recovery and Postoperative Care

Following your BBL, our team will provide you with detailed postoperative instructions to facilitate a smooth recovery process. You may experience some swelling and discomfort initially, but this will gradually subside over time. Our team will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, answer any questions you may have, and provide ongoing support.

What Makes Someone Ineligible for Brazilian Butt Lift?

There are several key factors that our team at Balto Plastic Surgery will carefully consider with you as part of the initial consultation and evaluation process to confidently determine that you are an ideal candidate for this procedure. These considerations include your medical eligibility for the treatment, your presentation (i.e. amount of body fat in donor and recipient sites), your expectations of treatment, and more.

Medical Eligibility

Though BBL surgeries have been continually refined over time to reduce their invasiveness while still delivering highly impactful results, it is still a surgical procedure that comes with precautions and contraindications.

For example, most people in good overall health will qualify for this procedure, but the following factors may affect your eligibility:

  • Smoking: Habitual smoking can interfere with the healing process following BBL surgery. In many cases, however, smokers who are willing to quit for an extended period of time both before and after BBL treatment may still qualify.
  • Various conditions: Skin conditions, infections around the treatment area, epilepsy, immune disorders, and various other health concerns may affect your ability to safely and effectively undergo BBL treatment. Pregnant and/or breastfeeding women are not eligible for BBL.
  • Medication: Accutane, photosensitizing medications, and steroid use can affect your ability to safely receive this treatment. In many cases, however, ceasing use of these medications for a short window of time (2-3 days) prior to your BBL is sufficient.

This isn’t a fully exhaustive list, but these represent most of the key considerations involved with establishing your candidacy for a BBL procedure. In a one-on-one consultation with our expert providers at Balto Plastic Surgery, we will carefully assess your medical status as it concerns your candidacy for BBL procedure to ensure a safe and rewarding experience. 

Presentation

Outside of your overall health status, medication use, and other more medically relevant factors, your unique body composition, skin laxity, and other attributes can also affect whether you would benefit the most from this procedure or an alternative option.

For example, skin laxity is important because, if the skin on the buttocks is not pliable and/or loose enough to comfortably accommodate additional tissue, you may not stand to benefit as much from a BBL procedure. Conversely, if you do not have enough fatty tissue in the donor site to achieve the volume boost you’re looking for, the procedure may fall short of your expectations.

Patient Expectations

Finally, it’s important to ensure that your expectations of BBL treatment are aligned with the results that this treatment can realistically deliver. Patients looking for a more dramatic augmentation than BBL can provide, or who expect improvements in areas not addressed by the procedure, may not be satisfied with the results they actually achieve. Similarly, patients with severe cases of body dysmorphia are typically discouraged from undergoing procedures like Brazilian butt lift. 

Our team is deeply committed to providing you with a truly meaningful and fully personalized experience. For this reason, we ensure during the pre-operative planning phases that you are not only medically eligible, but that you have a clear picture of the results you can expect. Together, we will work with you as partners in creating the transformation you’ve been dreaming about. 

BBL Recovery and Aftercare Tips

Proper BBL aftercare practices not only ensure your safe and efficient recovery from the procedure, but can also safeguard your results over the long term. Comprehensive post-operative care involves a careful combination of lifestyle practices and standard post-op instructions (i.e, medication use, clothing recommendations, etc.) issued by your provider.

For example, it’s important not to sit on your buttocks for several weeks following your procedure, and to gradually increase sitting time when this initial period comes to a close. Similarly, sleeping on your stomach is recommended during this time. You will be provided with a compression garment to be used consistently for several weeks following your procedure. Avoiding smoking, minimizing sun exposure, and taking all medications as directed by your provider are essential to a smooth and successful recovery process.

Always be sure to carefully follow your provider’s instructions, and if you notice any unwanted developments or changes throughout the recovery process, to follow-up with our clinic. We treat each patient as a unique and holistic case, and are here to accommodate you both before, during, and after your BBL procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions About Brazilian Butt Lifts

What Is the Recovery Time for a Brazilian Butt Lift?

The recovery period for a Brazilian butt lift can vary, but most patients can expect to return to light activities within a week. Full recovery, including the ability to sit without restrictions and resume all normal activities, typically takes around six to eight weeks. Patients are advised to follow post-operative instructions closely for the best results.

How Soon Will I See the Results of My Brazilian Butt Lift?

While some results are visible immediately, the outcomes of a Brazilian butt lift will become apparent once the swelling has subsided and the fat grafts have stabilized. This typically occurs within three to six months post-surgery, as the body adapts to the new contours and the transferred fat cells establish themselves. It’s very important during this time period to follow post-op instructions issued by your provider, as these will encourage the newly grafted fat to seamlessly integrate into your existing contours. 

Will There Be Scars After a Brazilian Butt Lift?

Scarring after a Brazilian butt lift is minimal since the procedure involves small incisions for fat extraction and injection. These incisions are strategically placed in inconspicuous areas to minimize visible scarring. Over time, these scars typically fade and become barely noticeable. Make sure to inform your provider if you have a tendency to form larger scars and/or keloid scars. 

Can a Brazilian Butt Lift Be Combined With Other Procedures?

A Brazilian butt lift can be combined with other cosmetic procedures for more comprehensive body contouring results. Commonly combined procedures include tummy tucks, breast augmentations, and liposuction in different areas. Combining procedures can maximize the transformative effects while reducing overall recovery time compared to multiple surgeries. As introducing a second procedure brings a new set of logistical, safety, and other matters to the table, it’s important to plan and budget ahead of time (including a possible follow-up schedule).
