A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) uses your own body fat to enhance the size, shape, and contour of the buttocks. The procedure combines liposuction with fat transfer, allowing your surgeon to remove unwanted fat from selected areas and use it to create more balanced buttock proportions. At Center for SmartLipo & Plastic Surgery in Langhorne, PA, Dr. Durvi Patel provides BBL procedures tailored to each patient's anatomy and aesthetic goals.

A Brazilian Butt Lift, also called gluteal fat grafting, enhances the buttocks by transferring fat from another area of your body. The procedure begins with liposuction to harvest fat from selected donor areas. The harvested fat is then processed before being carefully transferred into the buttocks to improve volume, shape, and contour.
A BBL can be planned around different concerns involving buttock volume, shape, and overall body proportion.
Fat transfer can increase buttock volume using fat harvested from another area of your body.
Strategic fat placement can help refine the shape and contour of the buttocks.
Liposuction of selected donor areas can create a slimmer contour while the transferred fat enhances the buttocks.
Your consultation begins with an assessment of your body proportions, available donor fat, buttock shape, and aesthetic goals.
Liposuction is performed on selected areas such as the abdomen, hips, flanks, or thighs to collect fat for transfer.
The harvested fat is processed and purified to separate suitable fat cells from unwanted material before transfer.
The prepared fat is strategically transferred into the buttocks using a specialized cannula. Placement is planned to improve volume, shape, and overall contour.
A BBL involves shaping both the buttocks and the areas selected for fat harvesting. Treating these areas together can help create a more balanced overall contour.
Fat from the abdomen may be harvested during liposuction and transferred to the buttocks as part of the BBL procedure.
The hips and flanks can serve as donor areas while their contour is refined through liposuction.
Depending on your anatomy and available fat, the thighs may also provide donor fat for transfer.
The purified fat is strategically placed in the buttocks to enhance volume and improve shape and proportion.
Not every patient has the same fat distribution. Your surgeon determines which donor areas are appropriate during your consultation.
There is no single amount of fat that works for every Brazilian Butt Lift. The amount available for harvesting and the volume appropriate for transfer depend on your body composition, donor areas, and desired shape.
Your surgeon evaluates these factors during your consultation rather than using a standard volume for every patient.
Liposuction removes selected fat deposits from donor areas.
The harvested fat is prepared and transferred to the buttocks.
The combination of removing fat from the donor area and adding fat to the buttocks area can improve the overall shape.
Your surgeon considers your existing anatomy and desired outcome when planning fat placement.
