What is a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?

A Brazilian Butt Lift involves removing excess fat from specific areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or lower back through liposuction. The purified fat is then carefully injected into the buttocks to improve shape, projection, and symmetry.

The result? A lifted, rounder, and more contoured buttock — while simultaneously refining other parts of your body.

This dual benefit makes the BBL one of the most sought-after body contouring treatments in the UAE.

Ideal Candidates for BBL

You may be an ideal candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift if you:

• Are in good overall health and maintain a stable weight

• Have enough excess fat available for transfer

• Do not smoke or are willing to stop before surgery

• Wish to improve buttock volume and shape naturally

• Have realistic expectations about the results

This procedure is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

How the BBL Procedure Works

1. Liposuction Phase:
   Fat is removed from targeted areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs using gentle liposuction techniques.

2. Purification Process:
   The extracted fat is purified to ensure only the healthiest cells are used for transfer.

3. Fat Injection:
   The processed fat is strategically injected into the buttocks to enhance volume and achieve the desired contour.

The procedure is typically performed under anesthesia and lasts between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the treated areas.

Recovery & Postoperative Care

Recovery after a BBL is generally smooth and well-tolerated. You may experience mild swelling or soreness in the treated areas, which gradually subsides over time.

Key postoperative recommendations:

• Avoid sitting or lying directly on your buttocks for at least 2 weeks

• Wear a compression garment for 30–45 days to aid healing and maintain contour

• Begin lymphatic drainage from day 4 to reduce swelling and speed up recovery

• Return to light activities after 7 days, and full physical activity after 4–6 weeks (upon medical clearance)

Final results can be appreciated after about 3 months, once swelling has fully resolved and fat cells have stabilized.

How Long Do the Results Last?

When performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Paulo Michels, the results of a Brazilian Butt Lift can be long-lasting. Approximately 60% of the transferred fat survives permanently, integrating naturally into the body.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, balanced diet, and stable weight will help preserve your results for years to come.

Possible Risks and Complications

While the BBL is a safe and effective procedure when performed by a qualified surgeon, as with any surgery, there are potential risks, including:

• Temporary bruising or swelling

• Minor asymmetry or contour irregularities

• Fat resorption (partial loss of transferred fat)

• Rare complications such as fat embolism

Choosing a highly skilled and board-certified surgeon significantly minimizes these risks and ensures both safety and aesthetic excellence.
