What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the shape, size, and contour of the buttocks using the patient’s own fat. This procedure involves removing excess fat from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs through liposuction, purifying the fat, and then strategically injecting it into the buttocks to achieve a fuller, rounder appearance. The result is a more lifted, youthful buttocks with improved proportions and contours.
There are many techniques to accomplish augmentation of the buttocks. Depending on the patient’s presenting problem, the augmentation may require the removal of excess skin, the rearrangement of underlying tissues, the transfer of fat removed from elsewhere on the body by means of liposuction, or a combination of several different methods.
A Brazilian Butt Lift, or BBL, is accomplished by transferring a patient’s own fat into the buttocks. This seemingly simple surgery is not to be taken lightly, and great care needs to be taken by the surgeon to protect patient safety. Dr. Rafailov is an expert of this procedure and has performed well over a hundred of these procedures. Dr. Rafailov also belong to the World Association of Gluteal Surgeons. This society is comprised of international surgeons dedicated to the standardization of safe practices in the performance of gluteal fat grafting.

How Is a Brazilian Butt Lift Performed? Dr. Samuel Rafailov utilizes advanced techniques to perform Brazilian Butt Lift procedures with precision and artistry, tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. The procedure typically involves the following steps:
Fat Harvesting: Excess fat is harvested from donor areas using liposuction, typically targeting areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. This step not only sculpts these areas but also provides the fat needed for buttocks augmentation.
Fat Purification: The harvested fat is carefully processed to remove impurities and excess fluids, ensuring only healthy fat cells are used for injection.
Fat Injection: Dr. Rafailov strategically injects the purified fat into various layers of the buttocks to create a more voluminous, lifted appearance. The fat is meticulously distributed to achieve the desired shape and contour.
Sculpting and Contouring: Dr. Rafailov sculpts and contours the buttocks to create natural-looking results that enhance the overall harmony of the body.

Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery Process
Following a Brazilian Butt Lift, patients may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in both the donor and recipient areas. Dr. Rafailov and our caring team will provide you with comprehensive post-operative instructions to help manage these symptoms and optimize your recovery process.
You may be advised to:
- Avoid sitting or lying directly on your buttocks for several weeks to protect the newly transferred fat.
- Use a special pillow or cushion when sitting to alleviate pressure on the buttocks.
- Wear compression garments to minimize swelling and support the healing process.
- Refrain from strenuous activities and exercise until cleared by Dr. Rafailov.
Most patients can expect to see initial results within a few weeks, with final results becoming more apparent as swelling subsides and the body adjusts to the newly transferred fat. With proper care and maintenance, the results of a Brazilian Butt Lift can be long-lasting, providing you with a more sculpted, shapely buttocks and a renewed sense of confidence.
