Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

A Brazilian Butt Lift is a specialized fat transfer procedure designed to enhance the shape and fullness of your buttocks. Rather than using implants, this technique relies on your own body's fat, which is gently harvested from donor areas—such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs—via liposuction. The collected fat is then purified and strategically injected into targeted regions of the buttocks, creating smoother contours and a more elevated rear profile.

Because the BBL uses fat cells from your own body, the results tend to look and feel natural, with minimal risk of adverse reactions. At pēkomd®, we tailor each Brazilian Butt Lift to reflect the nuances of your figure and aesthetic preferences. Whether you desire a subtle lift or a more dramatic transformation, our goal is to produce balanced proportions that highlight your unique shape.

Brazilian Butt Lift Benefits

Opting for a BBL can bring aesthetic and emotional rewards, including:

Naturally fuller buttocks
Enhanced lower-body contours
Improved balance between hips and waist
Definition in areas targeted by liposuction
Long-lasting, stable results
Low risk of allergic reaction (using your own fat)
Minimal scarring in donor and injection sites

What to Expect During Your Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure at pēkomd®

Your journey starts with a detailed consultation, where one of our board-certified providers will assess your body composition, health history, and specific goals. We'll identify areas where excess fat can be safely removed and discuss the best approach to sculpt your buttocks while preserving a natural look. This planning phase is key to ensuring a seamless, supportive experience.

On the day of surgery, you'll arrive at our accredited facility, where patient safety and comfort guide each step. After administering anesthesia—often general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation—we'll perform liposuction on donor areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs.

The extracted fat is then purified to isolate the most viable cells, which are carefully injected into strategic regions of your buttocks to achieve the desired volume and shape. Once the procedure is complete, you'll head to a recovery area to rest, where our compassionate staff will monitor you before releasing you home with personalized aftercare instructions.

Dr. Markov is one of the best microsurgeons in Southwest Ohio

I have had surgery is some of the top hospitals in Ohio and beyond. Dr. Markov is one of the best microsurgeons in Southwest Ohio, and the surrounding areas.His education, military background, and work experience speaks for itself. I have found him to be professional, highly-skilled, and he has excellent bedside manner. Dr. Markov treated me with respect, educated me about my options, and empowered me to decide what breast reconstruction option best for me. He approached my reconstruction surgery like Michelangelo to a painting. He was detailed oriented and cared about my final outcomes. I couldn't be happier with his performance. I highly recommend Dr. Markov for any cancer related or cosmetics surgery.

Mr. Dr. Fourman has been the best doctor hands down

Mr. Dr. Fourman has been the best doctor hands down so far that I have ever experienced in my life so far and I only have had my first office visit. He is so polite, listens and exsplained in full detail. He made me feel heard and he actually listened to me as his patient and did not belittle or make me feel like i was uneducated or wrong for my reasons to be vivisting his office. Thank you to Dr. Fourman and his wonderful staff members!

Dr. Straka is very personable, professional, and earned my trust right away!

My daughter first had some work done a few years ago with Dr. Straka. Of course she was/is a beautiful girl in every way, but this definitely enhanced things for her. I inherited the worst bags you could ever imagine. Getting older I thought let me do something for me! I scheduled a consult and I am truly sad that I had not gone sooner.

Dr. Straka is very personable, professional, and earned my trust right away! I am only 10 days post op and I love my new look already! Cristina has been very attentive from day one. I am still being checked on today. Dr. Straka is doing great things at pekomd! I highly recommend him to anyone!!!!!!! He gets a 100 stars

I would say Dr. Markov is a bit of a perfectionist.

After learning I had breast cancer a second time in 2023 I opted to have a bilateral mastectomy with a DIEP flap reconstruction. I looked into 3 different doctors and while I am sure they are all very capable, I chose Dr. Markov. He was straight forward and to the point and he was local. I really liked his approach and he made me feel very comfortable. Today I had my 4 week post op appointment from the final phase of the reconstruction and I am thrilled with the results. I feel and look like myself again. Honestly they look better than they did before my mastectomy. I would say Dr. Markov is a bit of a perfectionist. The only thing left, if I opt to do this, is the tattooing. I am not sure if I am going to do that just yet, because they already look so good. Anyhow, I would 100 % recommend Dr. Markov.

Wish I had done this 10 years sooner.

Don't put it off any longer!
If you have thought about weight-loss surgery, Dr. Fourman is the Dr. you need to see! He's very personable, understands and is caring.I followed all the pre op instructions, did out patient, in the morning, and was up and moving around very well by that evening. He's staff is wonderful too. There are no scary front desk reception. Everyone there knows what your going through. Wish I had done this 10 years sooner. Like I said...Don't put it off for another year!

Recovering After Your Brazilian Butt Lift

Initial recovery typically involves some swelling, bruising, and soreness at both the donor and injection sites. Over-the-counter or prescription pain medications can help manage discomfort, and our team may advise wearing a compression garment to minimize swelling in liposuctioned areas. It's crucial to follow guidelines regarding sitting or lying positions—often, surgeons recommend avoiding direct pressure on the buttocks for a couple of weeks to help maximize fat retention.

Light daily activities can usually be resumed after one to two weeks, although strenuous exercise or heavy lifting should be postponed for at least four weeks or until you receive clearance from your provider. Follow-up appointments at pēkomd® enable us to monitor your progress and offer any necessary support. As swelling subsides, you'll begin to see the new curves that define your enhanced lower body—a shape that can last for years with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.

Are You an Ideal Candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift?

You may be an excellent candidate for a BBL if you're in good overall health, maintain relatively stable body weight, and desire increased fullness in the buttocks using your own fat. Sufficient donor fat is necessary to ensure a worthwhile outcome, so individuals with minimal body fat might need to explore alternative treatments. Moreover, having realistic expectations and being prepared to follow post-operative guidelines is key. During your consultation at pēkomd®, we'll thoroughly evaluate your body composition, review your medical history, and discuss whether a BBL aligns with your anatomy and aesthetic goals. If a different procedure or a combination of treatments might better suit your aspirations, we'll propose an approach that prioritizes both safety and natural-looking results.

Brazilian Butt Lift Frequently Asked Questions

Ready to discover how a Brazilian Butt Lift can elevate your lower body contours? Contact pēkomd® now to arrange a one-on-one consultation and explore a customized path toward shapelier, natural-looking curves.

How soon can I sit normally after a BBL?

Many providers recommend avoiding direct pressure on the buttocks for about two weeks. Specific guidelines can vary, but using specialized cushions and following posture tips can help protect the transferred fat.

What percentage of the transferred fat will survive?

While individual experiences vary, often 60-80% of the transferred fat successfully grafts to the new location. Maintaining a stable weight and avoiding pressure on the buttocks during early healing can boost fat retention.

Will I lose volume if I lose weight later on?

Fat cells in the buttocks can shrink if you lose a significant amount of weight. However, moderate fluctuations typically won't drastically alter your results, especially if you maintain an overall healthy lifestyle.

Can I combine a BBL with other procedures?

Yes. Many patients opt for additional body contouring—like a tummy tuck or liposuction in other areas—to achieve a more comprehensive transformation. We'll work with you to form a safe and effective plan.

Are BBL results permanent?

Most of the surviving fat remains long-term, but factors like weight changes, aging, and lifestyle can still influence your final shape. Regular exercise and a balanced diet help sustain your results.
