Brazilian Butt Lift in Miami
Butt lift surgery can provide volume and a pleasing rounded contour to your buttocks.
The shape of your body can play a critical role in how you feel about yourself. If you are unhappy with the contour of your buttocks, a liposculpture with fat transfer, otherwise known as a Brazilian butt lift, can help restore those perfect natural curves you’re longing for.
What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Over time, weight and the body’s natural forces can cause your buttocks to sag. The butt lift reshapes the contour of the buttocks while maintaining the natural feminine silhouette. Butt lift surgery involves taking the fat from various areas of the body and injecting it into the buttocks to improve the shape and create a curvier silhouette overall.
When Should I Consider a Brazilian Butt Lift or Buttock Sculpting?
You should consider Brazilian butt lift surgery if you are experiencing sagging of the buttocks or are unhappy with your buttocks’ shape and/or size. Another reason to get a Brazilian butt lift is when you experience a loss of volume in the hip region, often referred to as “hip dips.” Improving these can contribute to a nicer overall curve for a more attractive silhouette
If you have lost a considerable amount of weight, you may want to consider a Brazilian butt lift. A Brazilian butt lift can reshape square, flat buttocks and restore curves to those who have lost their buttock shape as they age.
Brazilian Butt Lift Techniques
When performing a traditional BBL, the surgeon makes multiple small incisions for liposuction and reuses those on the lower back to inject the fat into the buttocks for transfer. Liposuction allows your surgeon to remove the fat, smooth the abdominal area, and shape the flanks and back areas to create those coveted curves. Brazilian butt lift scars are hidden in the lower back, where clothes and swimsuits can easily conceal the incision.

Combination procedures, such as a Brazilian butt lift and augmentation, are also very popular. In a combined procedure, the different techniques complement each other to achieve major transformations such as a perfectly round buttock, tight skin, and no visible scarring.
Alternative techniques to Brazilian butt lift are as follows:
A non-invasive treatment device that stimulates 25% muscle building and thus creates a fuller appearance by building the gluteal muscles.
For people who are not candidates for Brazilian butt lift surgery, buttocks implants also create a rounded buttocks. However, this procedure is associated with higher complications.
An alternative treatment is collagen-stimulating ultrasound therapy which may create a subtle lift.
Brazilian butt undergarments augment the appearance of your buttocks by holding them up to mimic their youthful roundness.
An exercise program that targets the buttocks muscles increases the gluteal muscles for a more significant, fuller appearance.
Candidates for Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery
You may be a good candidate for a Brazilian butt lift or buttock sculpting when you meet the following criteria:
- You are active and in good health.
- You understand the possible outcome ranges.
- You can take the time to stay off the buttocks for the recommended healing phase.
- You do not have any medical conditions that are not stable and under control.

- You have sufficient fat to transfer to the buttocks area.
A consultation with our team in Miami can help determine if a Brazilian butt lift is the best procedure for you to achieve the shapely curves you desire. They can also help you better understand how liposuction is related to this procedure and determine potential donor areas for the fat.
The BBL Procedure
When you undergo a Brazilian butt lift, the procedure occurs in an outpatient facility because you will be under general anesthesia. The surgeon performs liposuction at the fat donor site, usually the abdomen, flanks, and back. The fat is prepared and placed into syringes for reinjection to the buttocks. A blunt cannula injects the fat in the buttocks area, staying above the muscle, to create the ideal shape. The incisions are small, and the fat is accepted with no rejection issues as it comes from your own body.
Risks
One primary risk of Brazilian butt lift surgery is that the recovery may be slower if you are more than 15-20 pounds overweight. Smokers are also at increased risk as smoking decreases the blood flow to the surgery site, resulting in slower healing and increased tissue complications such as losing the transferred fat.
At the consultation, the Brazilian butt lift surgeon will explain the different risks and risk factors for this procedure. Dr. Salas will also ask about your lifestyle and general health. Once you have approval as a candidate, the surgeon will work with you to customize a liposculpture with fat transfer that meets your personal goals and aesthetic desires.
Preparation
Proper preparation for a Brazilian Butt Lift makes the surgery more effective and the recovery a bit easier. Before the surgery, you will be given a to-do list, including prescriptions to take, items to purchase for post-surgery recovery, and any lifestyle changes that may be necessary.
You should also arrange a ride to and from the surgery center as you will not be able to drive after anesthesia. You will also not be able to drive for 1-2 weeks after the surgery on average, so make sure to plan for assistance in grocery shopping, deliveries, and other essential needs.
Prepare an area of the house where you can rest comfortably on your stomach for an extended period. Wear loose clothing the day of surgery and arrive at the surgery site early to ensure you are not rushed or stressed.
Recovery
For the first four weeks, you cannot lie on the surgical site of fat grafts.
Your surgical site will have a drain for 1-week post-operation, which the doctor will remove at a follow-up visit. Expect to wear a compression garment for the buttocks region for at least three months.
Get plenty of rest, stay hydrated and eat healthy to maximize your recovery. You should begin to feel great a few weeks after the procedure.
