What to Expect From Your Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure
Before, During & After Your BBL Surgery
Before Your Surgery:
- Avoid NSAIDs, aspirin, and blood thinners for at least two weeks prior to surgery
- Stop smoking well in advance of your procedure to support proper healing and fat survival
- Arrange for a driver and someone to stay with you for at least the first night after surgery
During Your Surgery:
- Fat is removed from donor areas via liposuction, purified, and strategically injected into the buttocks
- The buttocks are slightly overfilled to account for the natural fat resorption that occurs during healing
- Surgery typically takes two to four hours and is performed under general anesthesia
After Your Surgery:
- Avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for several weeks; a special pillow is typically recommended
- Compression garments are worn over donor areas to control swelling and support new contours
- Most patients return to work and light activity within one to two weeks
- Strenuous activity resumes after several additional weeks, as cleared by your surgeon

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Brazilian butt lift?
A Brazilian butt lift is a surgical procedure that uses liposuction to harvest fat from areas like the abdomen, hips, or thighs, then injects that fat into the buttocks to enhance their size, shape, and projection. It's one of the most popular body contouring procedures performed in the United States. Results look and feel natural because they use your own tissue.
How does Brazilian butt lift surgery work?
Fat is removed from donor areas using liposuction, purified to isolate healthy fat cells, and then carefully injected into the buttocks in layers. The area is slightly overfilled to account for natural fat resorption during healing. Most patients need only one session, though patients seeking larger volume increases may benefit from an additional procedure.
How long does BBL surgery take?
Brazilian butt lift surgery typically takes two to four hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Most patients go home the same day after a short observation period. Recovery instructions, including how to sit and sleep during the first few weeks, will be reviewed in full before you leave.
Are Brazilian butt lift results permanent?
For the most part, yes. Once transferred fat establishes a blood supply, it behaves like any other fat in your body and can be considered permanent. Some resorption occurs during the first few months, which is why the area is slightly overfilled during surgery. Results are generally stable by around six months. Significant weight changes after surgery can affect the final outcome.
What is the difference between a BBL and butt implants?
A BBL uses your own fat for a natural look and feel, while butt implants use silicone to add volume and projection. Fat grafting is preferred by most patients due to its natural results, but implants are a better fit for those who don't have enough donor fat. Both options are available at the Miami Center for Plastic Surgery, and Dr. Salloum will help you determine which is appropriate.
Can a Brazilian butt lift be combined with other procedures?
Yes. BBL is frequently combined with a tummy tuck, additional liposuction, or other body contouring procedures for a more comprehensive result. Combining procedures means a single recovery period and more balanced overall proportions. Whether combining is safe and appropriate for you depends on your health and goals and will be evaluated during your consultation.
How much does a Brazilian butt lift cost in Miami?
The cost of BBL surgery in Miami varies based on the approach used, the amount of liposuction performed, and whether procedures are combined. The Miami Center for Plastic Surgery offers financing through Cherry, with flexible payment options available. A personalized quote will be provided during your consultation.
