Brazilian Buttock Lift
A well-performed Brazilian Buttock Lift offers more than added volume; it redefines proportion. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Joshua Jacobson uses precision fat transfer techniques at his Beverly Hills clinic to reshape the buttocks using your body fat. Every procedure is built around safety, balance, and long-term results.
What Is a Brazilian Buttock Lift?
The Brazilian Buttock Lift is a two-step procedure: fat is removed from areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, then purified and injected into the buttocks and hips. This enhances volume, softens hip dips, and improves shape using your body’s tissue.
Unlike implant-based enhancement, the BBL relies on the strategic placement of fat beneath the skin, not within the muscle. This technique reduces risks and improves graft survival.
Dr. Jacobson uses a multi-layered injection method to create smooth, balanced contours without overcorrection.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a BBL?
The BBL is ideal for healthy adults who want to reshape their lower body using their fat. You may be a good candidate if:
- You have flat, asymmetrical, or sagging buttocks
- You have enough excess fat for harvesting
- You want to avoid implants
- You’re close to your ideal weight
- You’re able to avoid smoking during the healing process
During your consultation, Dr. Jacobson will evaluate your medical history and goals to confirm if a BBL is the right choice for you.
During a BBL, gentle liposuction is used to remove fat from an area where excess stubborn fat is present. This contours and sculpts the area for an improved figure. After the fat is purified, it is either injected into areas of the rear end for enhanced volume or injected into hip dips to even out the area.
What to Expect During the Procedure
The BBL begins with liposuction of one or more fat-rich areas. The fat is then filtered to remove damaged cells and other impurities.
Once processed, the purified fat is reinjected into the buttocks using small cannulas. Injection sites are carefully selected to build volume while maintaining symmetry. Dr. Jacobson never injects into the muscle, a technique that promotes safety and better outcomes.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. Depending on the extent of fat removal and reshaping, most BBLs take two to four hours.

Recovery After a Brazilian Buttock Lift
Recovery from a BBL is structured and manageable. You’ll need to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for about two weeks. A specialized pillow and sleeping position will help reduce pressure.
Most patients return to non-strenuous work after 10–14 days. A compression garment is worn for six weeks to reduce swelling and help shape the area. Results improve steadily over the first three to six months as swelling fades and fat settles.
Dr. Jacobson’s team provides detailed recovery instructions and is available to support you throughout your healing process.
Benefits of the BBL Procedure
A Brazilian Buttock Lift has the following advantages:
- Adds volume and projection to the buttocks
- Uses your fat—no synthetic implants
- Improves proportions between the waist, hips, and thighs
- Reduces fat in problem areas like the abdomen or flanks
- Corrects hip dips and contour irregularities
- Long-term results with stable weight
Patients appreciate the dual benefit of body contouring and enhancement in one procedure.
Cost of a Brazilian Buttock Lift
The price of a BBL varies depending on the amount of liposuction, surgical time, and anesthesia. Because each patient’s goals differ, exact costs are provided after a consultation.
