Brazilian Butt Lift

Women seeking fuller, shapelier buttocks without synthetic implants often choose Brazilian butt lift surgery. This procedure removes unwanted fat from another part of the body and uses it to enhance the buttocks, creating beautifully balanced contours. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Dax Guenther performs BBL surgery for Boston-area patients at our Hingham and Nantucket practice locations, delivering natural-looking results.

Brazilian Butt Lift Benefits

Imagine filling out your jeans or little black dress with higher, rounder, more athletic-looking buttocks. That’s possible after getting a Brazilian butt lift, a procedure that has become very popular in the past few years. The procedure uses your own fat to create the desired curves, eliminating the risks posed by when using implants for buttock augmentation. Even though it’s called a Brazilian butt lift, the procedure is not designed to elevate sagging skin or tissue. It augments the buttocks and the best candidates have good skin tone with minimal sagging.

How Is a Brazilian Butt Lift Performed?

Dr. Dax typically prefers tickle liposuction for Brazilian butt lift procedures because its gentle, oscillating motion helps preserve a high percentage of viable fat cells and reduces trauma during extraction. Unlike traditional tumescent liposuction, which relies solely on suction after flooding the area with an anesthetic and epinephrine solution, tickle lipo uses vibration-assisted technology to loosen fat more efficiently and comfortably. This means less manual force, less tissue disruption, and a smoother overall experience for patients.

Both techniques use tumescent fluid to minimize bleeding, but the harvesting process differs. With tickle lipo, the vibrating cannula gently releases fat before suctioning, improving the quality of the harvested fat. Dr. Dax then processes the extracted fat in a centrifuge to purify it, removing excess fluid and impurities. He meticulously reinjects the purified fat into the buttocks to create smooth, even, natural-looking contours.

While synthetic silicone implants remain an option for buttock augmentation, most patients prefer a Brazilian butt lift because it delivers results that look and feel more natural, along with the added benefit of slimming the areas where fat is harvested.

What Is the Cost of a Brazilian Butt Lift?

As with other cosmetic surgery procedures, determining the price of a Brazilian butt lift depends on the specific needs of a patient. The cost varies also from practice to practice and it’s important to know what’s included in the price quote. The cost may include:

  • Surgeon’s fee
  • Hospital or surgical facility costs
  • Anesthesia fees
  • Prescription medications
  • Medical tests

Even though cost is a concern for most patients, we recommend avoiding choosing a plastic surgeon based on the lowest price. Choosing a board-certified, experienced surgeon who is qualified to perform the procedure you want should be your top priority.

Recovery & Results

The recovery process is unique to each patient and varies depending on the extent of the liposuction performed and the augmentation itself. Some people are naturally faster healers, but in general recovery following Brazilian butt lift surgery takes a few weeks. You should expect bruising and swelling in the buttocks and the area where Dr. Dax performed liposuction. This peaks after about a week and then resolves on its own in most cases.

Dr. Dax prescribes medication to manage any discomfort you may have. Taking short walks and moving around during the initial recovery is important to ensure good circulation and minimize the chances of complications. We provide detailed post-op instructions that, when followed closely, help the recovery process go smoothly. You must sleep on your side or stomach for a few weeks and you should avoid sitting directly on a chair or couch. Use a donut or inflatable pillow and avoid sitting for long periods of time.
