A Brazilian butt lift uses your own fat to add shape and fullness to the buttocks. For many Beverly Hills, California, patients, the appeal is that the surgery can contour one area while adding volume to another. Dr. A.J. Khalil brings board-certified plastic surgery training and body contouring experience to each Brazilian butt lift consultation and surgical plan.
Step One: Consultation and Planning
The process starts with a consultation. Dr. Khalil evaluates your body shape, discusses your goals, and determines whether you have enough donor fat for transfer. Common donor areas may include the stomach, thighs, or lower back, depending on where you carry unwanted fat.
This visit also helps determine whether a BBL is the right option or whether another buttock contouring procedure may be more appropriate. Patients should have realistic expectations and understand that final results depend on anatomy, healing, and how much transferred fat survives.
Step Two: Fat Removal With Liposuction
During surgery, fat is removed from selected donor areas using liposuction. This is an important part of the BBL process because it helps shape surrounding areas while collecting fat for transfer.
The liposuction portion can influence the final silhouette. For example, contouring the waist or lower back may help the buttocks look more defined.
Step Three: Fat Preparation and Transfer
After fat is removed, it is prepared for injection. The goal is to use healthy fat cells that can be placed into the buttocks to improve roundness, projection, and proportion.
Dr. Khalil then places the fat strategically to support the patient’s desired contour. Since a BBL uses your own fat, it differs from butt augmentation with implants.
Step Four: Recovery and Results
Recovery requires careful pressure management. Patients are usually given instructions about sitting, sleeping, compression garments, activity limits, and follow-up care. Swelling gradually improves, and results continue to settle as the body heals.
