Brazilian Butt Lift at Madison Plastic Surgery, NY

Enhance Your Curves with Natural Fat Transfer

BBL Surgery in NY

Understanding Brazilian Butt Lift

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a specialized fat transfer procedure designed to enhance the shape, size, and projection of the buttocks using the patient’s own fat. Unlike traditional implants, this minimally invasive technique offers natural-looking, long-lasting results by contouring the abdomen, flanks, back, and other donor areas through liposuction and transferring the harvested fat to the buttocks.

For individuals seeking a more sculpted figure, BBL Surgery enhances proportion, balance, and overall body aesthetics—all while removing unwanted fat from problem areas.

Who is a candidate for BBL?

  • Individuals looking to enhance the size and shape of their buttocks naturally
  • Patients with excess fat in areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs
  • Those who desire an hourglass figure or improved body proportions
  • Healthy individuals with realistic expectations
  • Non-smokers with a stable weight

BBL is not a weight-loss procedure—patients should be near their ideal weight and have adequate fat reserves for transfer.

Personalized Consultation Process

A comprehensive consultation is essential to:

This in-depth discussion ensures patients fully understand the procedure, recovery, and expected outcomes before moving forward.

  • Evaluate the patient’s body composition, skin elasticity, and fat distribution
  • Determine if they are a good candidate for fat transfer
  • Discuss surgical techniques, expectations, and post-operative care
  • Create a personalized BBL treatment plan based on body goals

Techniques & Procedure

The Brazilian Butt Lift procedure involves three main steps:

1. Fat Harvesting:

  • Liposuction is performed on areas with excess fat, such as the abdomen, flanks, back, and thighs
  • A specialized tumescent solution is used to reduce bleeding and discomfort
  • The fat is carefully removed through small incisions

2. Fat Processing:

  • The harvested fat is purified and treated to remove excess fluids and impurities
  • Only healthy fat cells are used for transfer

3. Fat Injection to the Buttocks:

  • The purified fat is strategically injected into different layers of the buttocks
  • Fat is distributed evenly to achieve a smooth, lifted, and natural appearance
  • The procedure enhances volume, symmetry, and overall shape

Scarring is minimal since the procedure uses small incisions for liposuction and injection sites.

Procedure:

  • Procedure Duration:2-4 hours
  • Anesthesia: General anesthesia, administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist
  • Incisions: Small, well-hidden entry points for liposuction and fat transfer

The surgery is performed in a state-of-the-art, fully accredited surgical suite on the Upper East Side in NYC, ensuring optimal safety and comfort.

Recovery & Aftercare

What to Expect:

  • Compression Garment: Must be worn for 4-6 weeks to minimize swelling and maintain contour
  • No Sitting on Buttocks: Patients must avoid sitting directly on the buttocks for 2 weeks to allow the fat grafts to integrate
  • Sleep Position: Patients should sleep on their stomach or sides
  • Return to Work: Most patients resume normal activities within 7-14 days
  • Full Recovery: Swelling subsides within 6 weeks, with final results visible in 3-6 months

Post-operative care includes detailed instructions on mobility, compression garments, and dietary recommendations to maximize fat survival and long-lasting results.

How long does it take to see the final BBL results?

Initial swelling subsides within 3 months, but full results are typically seen after 6 months, as the transferred fat settles.

How much fat survives after a BBL?

On average, 70-80% of the transferred fat remains permanently, while 30% is naturally absorbed by the body.

Can I gain weight before BBL surgery to increase fat reserves?

No, gaining weight before surgery is not recommended, as it can lead to poor fat distribution and unpredictable results.

How soon can I exercise after BBL surgery?

  • No vigorous activity for at least 4-6 weeks
  • Gradual return to exercise after surgeon approval
  • Squats and lower body workouts may be resumed after 6-8 weeks

Can a BBL be repeated?

While a single BBL session is typically sufficient, some patients may choose a second round if they desire additional volume or refinements.

Why is a compression garment necessary after BBL?

The compression garment helps reduce swelling, improve skin contraction, and support the newly contoured areas.
