Sculpted Curves Through Advanced Fat Transfer

Our board-certified plastic surgeons bring extensive training in body contouring and fat transfer techniques, using advanced technologies such as the Hydrasolve tissue liquefaction system and the PureGraft purification process to maximize fat cell survival and achieve long-lasting, natural-looking results. 
With decades of combined experience and an artistic approach to body sculpting, our BBL in Walnut Creek surgical team creates beautifully contoured buttocks that harmonize with each patient's unique proportions while simultaneously slimming and refining donor areas.

What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a specialized fat transfer procedure that enhances the size, shape, and projection of the buttocks using your body's own fat. Unlike buttock implants, which use synthetic materials, a BBL creates natural-looking and natural-feeling results by relocating unwanted fat from one area of your body to your buttocks.

How Does a Brazilian Butt Lift Work?

The procedure involves three main steps. First, liposuction removes excess fat from donor areas.
Next, the harvested fat undergoes purification to separate healthy, viable fat cells from fluid, blood, and damaged cells. Advanced systems like PureGraft and Hydrasolve ensure that only the highest-quality fat grafts are retained, significantly improving the survival rate of transferred fat cells and leading to more predictable, longer-lasting results.
Finally, the purified fat is meticulously injected into multiple layers of the buttocks using small cannulas. Your surgeon strategically places fat to create the desired shape, volume, and projection while ensuring smooth, natural contours. The artistry lies in understanding proportion, symmetry, and how the buttocks should curve and project to complement your body type.

What to Expect Before, During, and After Your Brazilian Butt Lift

Consultation and Planning

Your BBL journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where your surgeon will:

  • Assess your buttock shape, size, and the donor areas available for liposuction
  • Discuss your aesthetic goals and desired buttock appearance
  • Review your medical history and any factors affecting surgery
  • Explain the procedure in detail, including realistic expectations
  • Show before-and-after photos of previous patients
  • Create a customized surgical plan tailored to your anatomy

Cost varies based on the extent of liposuction needed and the complexity of fat transfer. We'll provide a detailed estimate during your consultation and discuss financing options to make your procedure accessible.

The Procedure

Your Brazilian Butt Lift is performed under general anesthesia in our accredited surgical facility. The procedure typically takes 3-4 hours, and most patients go home the same day after recovering from anesthesia.

Recovery and Results Timeline

Weeks 1-2:

Expect swelling, bruising, and soreness in both liposuction and fat transfer areas. You must avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for at least two weeks—special cushions allow you to sit on your thighs instead. Sleep on your stomach or sides. Wear compression garments on liposuction areas. Most patients return to desk work after 10-14 days.

Weeks 2-6:

Swelling gradually decreases. Continue modified sitting for 6-8 weeks total. Light walking is encouraged, but avoid strenuous exercise. The newly transferred fat cells are establishing a blood supply during this critical period.

Months 2-6:

Your final shape emerges as swelling resolves completely. Approximately 60-80% of transferred fat typically survives permanently, with final results visible around 6 months. You'll see your full, beautifully contoured results.

Long-Term:

Successfully transferred fat cells are permanent. Maintaining a stable weight preserves your results. Weight gain will increase the size in both remaining and transferred fat areas; weight loss may reduce buttock volume.

Combining Brazilian Butt Lift With Other Procedures

Many Walnut Creek patients combine BBL with complementary procedures, such as:

  • Tummy Tuck: For patients with excess abdominal skin, combining abdominoplasty with BBL creates a comprehensive body transformation.
  • Thigh Lift: Addresses inner thigh laxity while harvesting fat for transfer.
  • Breast Procedures: Creating balanced upper and lower body proportions.
  • Additional Liposuction: Treating more areas beyond what's needed for fat harvest to optimize overall contours.

BBL FAQ's

How long do Brazilian Butt Lift results last?

How painful is Brazilian Butt Lift recovery?

Can I sit after a Brazilian Butt Lift?

How long do Brazilian Butt Lift results last?

Fat cells that successfully establish a blood supply after transfer become permanent, living tissue. On average, about 60–80% of the transferred fat survives long-term. These surviving fat cells remain permanently and will age naturally along with your body.

How painful is Brazilian Butt Lift recovery?

Most patients report moderate discomfort rather than severe pain. Liposuction areas often feel sore and tight, while the buttocks may be tender and swollen. Pain is generally well-controlled with prescribed medication during the first week. For many patients, sitting restrictions are more challenging than the pain itself.

Can I sit after a Brazilian Butt Lift?

You should avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for at least two weeks, and ideally for 6–8 weeks, to protect newly transferred fat cells. During this time, specialized BBL pillows can be used to shift pressure to the thighs. After 6–8 weeks, most patients can safely resume normal sitting. Following these guidelines is essential for optimal fat survival and long-lasting results.
