In recent years, many individuals have turned to body contouring procedures to enhance the shape and volume of the buttocks. One of the most popular methods is the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)—a cosmetic surgery that enhances the appearance of the buttocks using a patient’s own fat. Despite the name, BBL is not a traditional “lift” procedure, but rather a fat transfer technique that results in a fuller and more rounded silhouette.
Continue reading to learn how this procedure works and what to expect when choosing Orion Surgery for your body enhancement journey.
What Is BBL and How Does It Work?
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a specialized fat grafting procedure that reshapes the buttocks without implants. During the surgery, qualified plastic surgeons extract excess fat from areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or back using liposuction. This fat is then purified and strategically re-injected into the buttocks to enhance volume and achieve a more proportionate shape.
While the treatment may result in slimmer contours in the areas where fat is removed, it’s important to note that BBL is not a weight-loss procedure and does not involve skin tightening like traditional lifting surgeries.
How Is the Procedure Performed at Orion Surgery?
At Orion Surgery, our experienced plastic surgeons perform BBL procedures with precision and care, always prioritizing patient safety and satisfaction.
Procedure Overview:
- Performed under general or local anesthesia depending on the amount of fat to be transferred
- Fat is harvested from the body via liposuction
- Extracted fat is processed and purified
- Purified fat is carefully injected into the buttocks through 3–5 small incisions
- Both donor and injection sites are closed with fine sutures
In certain cases, patients may be asked to stay overnight for observation to ensure a smooth and safe recovery process.
Post-Procedure & Recovery
The results of the BBL can be noticed immediately, though swelling and tenderness are common in the first few weeks. Patients are advised to avoid applying pressure directly on the buttocks for approximately 8 weeks, using a specialized BBL pillow when sitting.
Additional care instructions may include:
- Avoiding water contact with the surgical area for 48 hours
- Wearing a compression garment for several weeks
- Limiting physical activity as advised by your doctor
Most patients return to normal activities within 1–2 months, although final results continue to improve as swelling subsides.

While most patients experience positive results, it’s essential to be evaluated by a certified plastic surgeon to determine whether BBL is suitable for you.
