Brazilian Butt Lift
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery, also known as Brazilian Butt Augmentation, increases the size and projection of the buttocks. This procedure enhances the contours and proportions of the patient’s backside. Media attention on celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez has led to a surge in products like creams, pills, and exercise videos. However, most of these solutions lack scientific backing and offer only temporary results.
The most effective, long-term solution for buttocks enhancement is BBL surgery. A board-certified plastic surgeon performs this two-step procedure. First, they remove fat cells from undesirable areas of the patient’s body. Then, they transfer this fat to the buttocks. This method creates a curvaceous physique similar to Hollywood celebrities.
The BBL procedure requires high precision, artistry, and technique. The surgeon must enhance the buttocks’ contours while improving the entire physique’s shape. Dr. Eugene Kim, a double board-certified plastic surgeon, serves patients in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and Santa Monica, California. Dr. Kim has extensive experience in BBL surgeries. He creates customized surgical plans to complement your physique and meet your specific goals.
Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure
Brazilian Butt Lift surgery can take between 90 minutes and 4 hours, depending upon how much fat is being transferred, the desired size/shape of the buttocks, and where the fat is being harvested from. The BBL procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis using either general anesthesia or a combination of local anesthesia and IV sedation.
BBL surgery has two main components:
· Tumescent Liposculpturing: during this portion of the procedure, tumescent fluid used is injected into the previously designated treatment area (common sites include the abdomen, flanks, back, chest and arms) and a cannula is used to suction out excess fat cells so that they can be processed, sterilized, and placed into a syringe
· Autologous Fat Transfer: the second half of the BBL procedure involves the injection of the previously harvested fat into the deep musculature and fatty tissue of the buttocks

Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery
Your recovery process after BBL surgery involves several key stages to ensure proper healing and optimal results. Initially, you may experience a temporary loss of sensation in the treated areas, along with bruising, swelling, and some pain. We highly recommend arranging for a friend or family member to assist you for the first 24 hours post-procedure.
Most patients can walk around within 1-2 days after surgery. Avoid sitting on your bottom as much as possible during the first 7-14 days. Dr. Kim will provide detailed recovery guidelines. These instructions will help minimize discomfort and speed up healing. You should sleep on your stomach or side for two weeks. Limit physical activities for at least 14-21 days. Wear a specialized compression garment for about a month.
As you move beyond the initial recovery phase, you can gradually resume your regular activities as you feel comfortable. You will start to see the final results of your BBL surgery within a few weeks, and thanks to the small incisions used in liposculpturing, you will have minimal scarring.
