What Is the Brazilian Butt Lift?
The Brazilian butt lift has rapidly become one of the most sought-after cosmetic procedures in the U.S., attracting interest from both male and female clients. This procedure provides a way to achieve a fuller, more sculpted backside naturally without the need for implants. A combination of factors, including changes in weight, aging, the pull of gravity, and genetics, can lead to a less pronounced rear. However, the current beauty ideal favors more ample and rounded buttocks. At Howland Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Nicholas K. Howland performs the Brazilian butt lift utilizing the patient's own fat to enhance the volume of the buttocks, achieving the desired shape. This is done through a meticulous fat transfer technique, which involves removing fat from an area where it's unwanted through liposuction and then injecting it into the buttocks. Achieving an optimal result requires a blend of precision, artistic vision, and extensive professional expertise. Schedule a consultation at our Draper, UT practice to find out how Dr. Howland leverages his years of training and skill to deliver naturally beautiful outcomes through this procedure.
How Is A Brazilian Butt Lift Performed?
A Brazilian butt lift is an outpatient surgery conducted under general anesthesia and lasts about 2 – 3 hours, depending on the volume of fat being processed. The surgery commences with liposuction to harvest fat from targeted areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, and thighs, ensuring high standards of quality and safety. The extracted fat is immediately processed in a closed system using a sterile centrifuge, preventing any exposure to air to maintain purity. After purification, the viable fat cells are carefully transferred into syringes for the next stage. During the injection phase, this fat is meticulously reintroduced into the buttocks in layers with a gentle massage applied between injections to create a smooth contour. This process is repeated as needed to sculpt the buttocks into the desired shape and volume.
What Are the Benefits of A Brazilian Butt Lift?
The Brazilian butt lift has emerged as a favored procedure at Howland Plastic Surgery in Draper, UT as individuals seek to refine their natural silhouette and uplift their self-esteem. A Brazilian butt lift may be an attractive choice for those wishing to achieve a fuller, more appealing posterior, offering several key advantages:
- Reduction of unwanted fat: The process involves transferring fat from other areas of your body, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, and muffin top, to your buttocks. This not only enhances the shape of your rear but also trims down fat from other areas, providing a dual benefit.
- Enhanced safety: Utilizing your own fat significantly reduces the risk of adverse reactions compared to synthetic fillers, the possibility of implant rupture, or other surgical risks.
- Improved proportions: This procedure augments the buttocks, creating a more pronounced shape, achieving a curvier appearance or even an hourglass figure, depending on your goals.
- Immediate transformation: The results of a Brazilian butt lift are visible almost right away, allowing for a quick realization of your cosmetic goals.
- Natural feel: Unlike other fillers or implants, the results of a Brazilian butt lift feel completely natural because your own body fat has been used for enhancement.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Brazilian butt lift cost?
The total cost for your Brazilian butt lift (BBL) will include the cost of both liposuction and fat transfer surgery, facility fees, anesthesia, plus pre-and post-operative care. As soon as Dr. Howland has developed your surgical plan, we will be better able to give you cost estimates. We want you to concentrate on getting the results you want from a plastic surgeon you trust, like Dr. Howland, so we'll help make your Brazilian butt lift easy to afford. Howland Plastic Surgery takes many payment methods and we can give you information on low-interest financing.
Should I get implants or a fat transfer?
To improve the shape and size of your butt, you get butt augmentation using either implants or a fat transfer, which is commonly called a Brazilian butt lift. In your initial consultation, Dr. Howland will explain both options and help you choose which is better based on your physique and wants. He will also assess your body to decide which areas would benefit from liposuction (typically the thighs, back, or stomach). You may not be a candidate for a BBL if your body fat percentage is too low.
How long will my results last?
While a small amount of fat might be reabsorbed after the transfer, the majority of the fat will stay in your butt for a long time. To keep your results, you need to maintain a steady weight because significant weight loss or gain can affect your BBL results. That's why Dr. Howland recommends you be at or near a healthy, stable weight prior to your Brazilian butt lift so it is easier for you to maintain.
How can I recover faster after a BBL?
If you want to minimize your healing time after a Brazilian butt lift, Dr. Howland or a member of his team will give you post-operative instructions and tips. You will need to avoid sitting on your buttocks for at least two weeks as the area heals. Dr. Howland recommends you buy a donut-shaped or nursing pillow that lets you sit down so the pressure is on your legs rather than your butt. Light stretching and short walks will improve your blood flow and reduce swelling. Dr. Howland might also recommend a lymphatic drainage massage to speed your healing.
Will a Brazilian butt lift remove loose skin?
The name of the surgery, Brazilian butt lift, is deceiving because it is not actually a butt lift, which corrects loose and sagging skin from your butt. Although, the extra volume added to your butt during a BBL can fill some loose skin. To enhance your results, you might combine additional procedures with a Brazilian butt lift. Dr. Howland will be able to explain your options based on your needs and concerns in your consultation.
