Brazilian Butt Lift

Introduction

Introduction to Brazilian Butt Lift

Miami is the ultimate destination for Brazilian Butt Lifts, known worldwide as the go-to city for enhancing curves and achieving the perfect hourglass shape. A BBL isn’t just about adding volume—it’s a full-body sculpting procedure that refines your figure by removing unwanted fat from areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs and transferring it to the buttocks. This dual benefit creates a snatched waistline while enhancing natural curves, giving you a beautifully balanced and proportionate silhouette.

At Rivera Plastic Surgery, Dr. Carlos Rivera is a top choice for BBLs in Miami, offering highly customized procedures designed to complement your body’s natural shape. If you’re looking for a BBL that will give you your dream body, Dr. Rivera’s expertise makes him the premier surgeon to trust.

What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a specialized fat transfer procedure that enhances the shape, volume, and contour of the buttocks using a patient’s own body fat. Unlike implants, which add artificial volume, a BBL achieves a natural look and feel by removing excess fat from areas like the abdomen, flanks, back, or thighs through liposuction, which is then purified and strategically injected into the buttocks to create a fuller, lifted, and more sculpted appearance. A beautifully proportioned figure enhances the waist-to-hip ratio while maintaining a soft, natural texture.

What Are the Benefits of a Brazilian Butt Lift?

A BBL is more than just a butt enhancement; it’s a total body contouring procedure that sculpts the waist and surrounding areas while adding volume where it’s needed most. Key benefits include:

  • Natural-looking curves: Because the procedure uses your fat, results appear more natural than implants.
  • Slimmer, more defined waistline: Liposuction removes stubborn fat from problem areas, enhancing your overall silhouette.
  • Long-lasting results: Once the transferred fat establishes blood supply, it can remain for years with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
  • Boosted confidence: A sculpted, balanced figure helps patients feel more confident in their appearance, whether in clothing, swimwear, or everyday life.

Who Are the Best Candidates For a Brazilian Butt Lift?

The ideal BBL candidate in Miami is someone looking to enhance their curves naturally while refining their body’s overall shape. Suitable candidates should:

  • For transfer, have enough donor fat in areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs.
  • Be in good overall health and at a stable weight, as significant weight fluctuations can impact results.
  • Good skin elasticity ensures smooth, even fat distribution.
  • Desire natural enhancement rather than the dramatic projection that implants provide.
  • Be a non-smoker or willing to quit, as smoking can interfere with fat survival and healing.

Alternative solutions, such as implants or non-surgical options, may be explored for those with low body fat to achieve their desired look.

What’s the first step?

The first step in getting a BBL is a consultation with Dr. Rivera at his Miami office, where he will evaluate your body proportions, discuss your goals, and determine if you’re a good candidate for the procedure. During this appointment, he will assess the areas where fat can be safely harvested and explain how much volume can be added to the buttocks for the most natural, balanced result. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, review before-and-after photos, and gain a full understanding of what to expect. If you decide to move forward, Dr. Rivera will create a surgical plan tailored to your anatomy and desired outcome. Once your surgery is scheduled, you’ll receive detailed pre-operative instructions to help ensure a safe procedure and recovery.

What to Expect on the Day of Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery

On the day of your BBL, you will arrive at our surgical center in Miami and be prepped for the procedure under the care of Dr. Rivera and his medical team. General anesthesia will ensure a comfortable and painless experience.

The surgery begins with liposuction, where Dr. Rivera carefully removes fat from areas such as the abdomen, waist, back, or thighs, sculpting these regions to enhance your overall proportions. The extracted fat is then purified to ensure only the healthiest cells are used before being injected into the buttocks. After surgery, you will be monitored as you wake from anesthesia, and once cleared, you can return home with a trusted caregiver to begin your recovery.

Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery

Recovery from a BBL requires careful post-operative care to ensure optimal fat retention and beautifully contoured results. In the first few weeks, it’s essential to avoid sitting or lying directly on your buttocks, as this can affect fat survival. Patients will need to use a special BBL pillow when sitting and should sleep on their stomachs or sides to protect the newly transferred fat. Swelling and bruising are normal, gradually subsiding over the following weeks as the body heals. Most patients can resume light activities after about a week, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least 6 weeks. As the swelling decreases and the fat settles, the final results will become more apparent over the next few months, revealing a sculpted, balanced figure that enhances your natural curves.
