WHAT IS A BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT?
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance the shape, size, and contour of the buttocks using a patient's own fat. The procedure involves liposuction to remove excess fat from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or lower back, which is then purified and strategically injected into the buttocks to create a fuller, more sculpted appearance. Unlike traditional buttock implants, a BBL offers a more natural look and feel while also improving body proportions by contouring the donor areas. This dual benefit of body sculpting and buttock enhancement has made the Brazilian Butt Lift one of the most popular procedures for individuals seeking a curvier and more youthful silhouette.
Dr. Moein is a highly skilled and experienced cosmetic surgeon specializing in the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure. Utilizing advanced liposuction techniques, Dr. Moein carefully removes excess fat from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, back, or thighs and expertly transfers it to the buttocks to enhance volume, shape, and symmetry. His meticulous approach ensures natural-looking, long-lasting results that complement each patient’s unique body proportions. With a keen eye for aesthetics and a dedication to patient satisfaction, Dr. Moein helps individuals achieve a sculpted, curvier figure with a more defined waistline and beautifully contoured buttocks.
Brazilian Butt Lift Before and Afters
BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT PROCEDURE
The Brazilian Butt Lift procedure begins with liposuction, where excess fat is removed from targeted areas such as the abdomen, flanks, back, or thighs. The extracted fat is then carefully processed and purified to ensure that only the healthiest fat cells are used. Once ready, the fat is injected into specific areas of the buttocks in layers to create a rounder, fuller, and more lifted shape. This method allows for a customized approach, enhancing the natural curves and improving body proportions.
Beyond enhancing the buttocks, a BBL provides the added benefit of body sculpting by removing unwanted fat from other areas, creating a more defined waistline and balanced figure. Recovery includes wearing a compression garment to minimize swelling and avoiding direct pressure on the buttocks for several weeks to allow the fat to settle properly. With proper post-operative care, the results of a BBL are long-lasting, giving patients a naturally enhanced and contoured look.
WHAT IS FAT GRAFTING?
In many cases, the surgery is performed through fat grafting. This fat transfer method is what coined the Brazilian Butt Lift surgery name. Since this method involves using the patient’s own tissue as opposed to injections or implants, it is a widely popular procedure.
The basic advantage of this approach is that it reduces the risk of rejection from the patient’s body and minimizes the chance of infection as it utilizes your own natural fat and tissue. During the procedure, Dr. Moein will obtain fat from other areas of your body through liposuction.
This technique is so popular because it can enhance your backside by reducing the appearance of fat at the donor sites, which is often in the waist and lower back. Dr. Moein uses tiny incisions to minimize the risk of scarring and to act as openings for the various tools used during liposuction and fat injections. The aim of this surgery is to extract fat from unwanted areas of the body before the fat is injected into new locations to achieve the intended results.
Why Is Body Fat Used?
Fat can be removed and grafted from the following areas for your BBL:
- Belly
- Hips (Love Handles)
- Arms
- Legs
The unwanted fat from these areas will act as a donor to your rear end. Your own body fat is the most natural and apt material to help improve your derrière's shape and feel. It is also the least likely substance or material to be rejected by your body, which makes it the safest approach. The BBL procedure has many aesthetic benefits as it not only enhances your butt but also slims down the areas where your fat is taken from. You can think of it as a complete body transformation.

HOW DO BUTT IMPLANTS WORK?
If you have minimal fat in other areas of your body, then butt implants are the right choice for you. Implants are yet another popular option to improve your butt's appearance. This surgery is a powerful method of increasing the size and enhancing the contour of your buttocks.
Once prepped for surgery, Dr. Moein will create a small incision near the top of your buttock crease, which acts as an entry point for the silicone butt implant. Dr. Moein will most likely place the implant beneath the muscle, which offers the most realistic results. If you have questions or concerns about this surgery, ask Dr. Moein during your consultation or next appointment.
After surgery, patients must follow specific post-operative care instructions, including avoiding prolonged sitting and wearing a compression garment to reduce swelling and promote healing.
IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR A BBL
Great Candidates for a Brazilian Butt Lift Should:
✔ Be in Good General Health – Candidates should be free of any serious medical conditions that could affect healing or increase surgical risks.
✔ Have Realistic Expectations – Understanding that results vary based on body type, fat availability, and healing is essential for patient satisfaction.
✔ Have Sufficient Fat for Transfer – A successful BBL requires enough fat from donor areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or back to achieve the desired enhancement.
✔ Have Good Skin Elasticity – Firm, elastic skin helps support the newly transferred fat, ensuring a smooth, natural-looking contour and long-lasting results.
HOW LONG IS THE RECOVERY PERIOD AFTER BBL SURGERY?
General walking and picking up the house are allowed for the first twenty to thirty days. You will be prescribed pain medication to help with any pain you may feel after surgery. This discomfort may last for three to five days, but the medication will help. You may experience general swelling and soreness in the treatment areas. This is normal and expected.
Follow Dr. Moein's recommendations closely while healing and afterward as you resume your regular routine. It can take time, up to six weeks or more, for you to feel “back to normal." The good news is that you will be able to sit down comfortably shortly after your butt lift surgery.
Dr. Moein may recommend that you wear a special compression garment for around a month and a half after surgery. This tight apparatus minimizes swelling and ensures that the fat grafting retains the proper shape following the surgery.
Benefits of Brazilian Butt Lift
✔ Uses the Patient’s Own Fat – Unlike implants, a BBL utilizes the patient’s own fat, providing a more natural look and feel.
✔ Enhances Buttock Size and Shape – Fat transfer adds volume and lift, creating fuller, curvier buttocks.
✔ Sculpts and Contours the Body – Removes excess fat from areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or back for a more balanced figure.
✔ Defines the Waistline – The liposuction process helps create a slimmer waist, enhancing the hourglass shape.
✔ Lower Risk of Rejection or Complications – Since no foreign materials are used, there’s a reduced risk of allergic reactions or implant-related issues.
✔ Long-Lasting Results – With proper post-surgical care and a stable weight, the results can last for many years.
✔ Boosts Self-Confidence – Improves body proportions, making individuals feel more comfortable and attractive in their clothing and overall appearance.
Risk of Brazilian Butt Lift
Butt augmentation and butt surgery are both surgeries, and all surgeries have some level of risk. However, these procedures are safe. You can minimize the risks to your health by choosing the best cosmetic surgeon who uses meticulous surgical techniques and sound judgment to give you the aesthetic results you want without the risk.
The most common risk to your health is the buildup of fluid, which can be minimized by using drain tubes during the procedure. The tubes will remain after surgery, whereby they will be removed after a few days. Sitting down should not pose an issue after surgery. You may want to limit sitting down for at least a week after your implant procedure. After that, you can sit down to your heart's content on your shapelier backside.
With butt lift implant surgery, you'll have to wear a compression garment. You will continue wearing the garment for around a month following surgery, depending on how well you heal. Many patients worry if implants are safe. You'll be happy to know that butt implants are FDA approved and are therefore considered extremely safe.
Further, implants are made of silicone elastomers. This gives the prosthetics their strength, which means they are unlikely to break, leak, or burst. You can go big or get subtle with butt implants. Dr. Moein has decades of experience and training in butt implant surgery. Based on your health and cosmetic surgery goals, Dr. Moein can help you find a butt enhancement option that works for you.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT AND BUTT IMPLANTS?
To be general, a Brazilian butt lift uses the patient's own fat from other areas of the body to be used in enhancing their buttocks. Butt implants involve using silicon-filled products to be placed into the area of the buttocks. Typically, the BBL is the preferred and recommended route, but patients who do not have sufficient fat storage typically have to opt for the implant route.
