Enhances natural curves and sculpts your silhouette using your own fat
Brazilian Butt Lifts — also referred to as buttock augmentation — involves liposculpture and fat transfer to lift, increase volume, and increase the projection of the buttocks by sculpting away fat from another area of the body. This fat transfer technique avoids implants, providing a natural look and feel. Dr. Carpin carefully removes fat from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or back through liposuction, purifies it, and re-injects it into the buttocks to create balanced, beautiful curves.
The procedure is performed in the operating room under general anesthesia and typically lasts 4 to 5 hours. Small cannulas are inserted through tiny incisions to remove fat by gentle liposuction. Areas for fat collection include the abdomen, thighs, back, or arms, which also improves the contour of these areas.
The fat cells are then carefully placed into the buttock through tiny incisions. Additional sculpting by liposuction of the waist and abdomen further enhances the appearance of the buttock region and gives a more hourglass figure. A compression garment is then applied and must be worn for 6 weeks. Some patients require an overnight stay in the hospital for comfort.
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) offers the opportunity to enhance your curves while maintaining a natural, harmonious look. By using your body’s own fat, this procedure provides a soft, natural feel, ensuring results that blend seamlessly with your physique. Beyond enhancing the buttocks, the BBL sculpts surrounding areas like the abdomen and thighs, creating a balanced, proportionate figure.
With no synthetic implants involved, the procedure minimizes risks and prioritizes your safety. The results are long-lasting with proper care, allowing you to enjoy a more youthful, contoured silhouette for years. A BBL not only reshapes your body but also boosts your confidence, empowering you to feel radiant, sexy and self-assured in your own skin.
You may be a good candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift if you are:
However, extremely thin patients may not have enough bodily fat required for this procedure. Dr. Carpin will discuss your goals during a personalized consultation to determine if this procedure is right for you.
Recovery after a BBL requires patience and careful aftercare. Patients typically experience pain, swelling, and bruising. To minimize the risk of blood clots, patients begin light activity on the same day of surgery. Most patients return to work in 1-2 weeks. Supportive garments are worn for 6 to 8 weeks to promote optimal healing and results. Exercise is permitted 6 weeks after surgery. Patients are asked to avoid direct pressure on the fat grafted region for 2-3 weeks. Swelling subsides over the next 3 to 6 months, revealing your final results.
Fat transfer results will be immediately visible. If possible, extra fat is transferred to account for some expected fat loss after transfer. Swelling decreases over the first few months after surgery. Final results will be visible around 6 months after surgery.
Patients can expect a youthful and perky appearance to the buttocks. The results are long-lasting, using your own body fat. An added benefit is the removal of unwanted fat from another body area, improving your overall shape. With a healthy lifestyle and weight stability, results provide fuller, natural curves for years.

The most common risks of butt augmentation are swelling, pain and bruising. Risks associated with liposuction and blood clots are rare if performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon using safe techniques. Additional surgical risks will be discussed in the consultation.
You should avoid putting direct pressure on the buttocks for at least four weeks after your Brazilian Butt Lift. For optimal healing, patients should put their weight on the back of the lower thighs when sitting. Positioning the buttocks upwards on a soft cushion can also make sitting more comfortable in the weeks following a BBL.
Patients should also avoid lying directly on their back after a BBL procedure. Sleeping on your side will help your buttocks heal in the weeks following your Brazilian Butt Lift.
The goal of a Brazilian Butt Lift is to improve the size and shape of the buttocks in a way that is significant yet natural. BBL procedures that use fat transfer produce the most natural-looking results by using the patient’s own body fat.
When fat is harvested from stubborn areas like the stomach or thighs, it creates a figure that looks naturally slim and toned. Transferring a patient’s harvested fat to the buttocks helps increase the volume of their butt in a subtle way that doesn’t look artificial.
When the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure is performed with fat transfer, the results may change as time goes on. Getting regular exercise will not alter the outcome of your BBL procedure, but intense workouts and severe dieting can cause visible changes.
Extreme exercise or significant weight loss may lead you to lose some of the fat cells that your surgeon transferred to your buttocks. For most patients, these changes are not significant enough to completely undo the results of their Brazilian Butt Lift. In general, exercise is a good way to keep a toned and shapely booty after BBL!
The results of your Brazilian Butt Lift will last a long time. You could see a more youthful, shapely backside for years after your procedure. Significant weight loss and the aging process can lead to changes in the size or shape of the buttocks after a BBL surgery.
The fat that was taken from your stomach or other harvesting sites will not return unless you were to regain weight in those regions. Following a healthy and well-balanced diet can help patients maintain the more sculpted figure that their BBL procedure created.
Dr. Carpin does not recommend buttock implants in most cases. The implants tend to have displacement issues and irregular contours.
