What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
The Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the size and shape of the buttocks without implants. Instead, it involves transferring fat from one area of the body to the buttocks, providing a more noticeable, shapely appearance. At Cultura Dermatology and Plastic Surgery in Washington, DC, Dr. Kelly Bolden, FACS specializes in BBL procedures that can enhance the patient’s figure and achieve a more balanced look.
The Advantages of Brazilian Butt Lift
-
Enhanced Body Contour
Creates a fuller, rounder butt profile.
-
Natural Results
Uses the patient's body fat, making the results look and feel natural.
-
Improved Proportion
Balances the body's proportions by enhancing the buttock area.
-
Additional Body Contouring
Reduces unwanted fat from other areas like the abdomen, hips, or thighs through liposuction.
Good Candidates for Brazilian Butt Lift
Ideal candidates for a Brazilian butt lift are patients looking to enhance the appearance of their buttocks without the use of synthetic implants. For best results, candidates should have sufficient fat in areas like the stomach or thighs and have good overall health. They should also have realistic expectations about the surgical process and results.
Results of Brazilian Butt Lift
The results of a Brazilian butt lift are visible immediately, but the final results will be apparent only once the swelling subsides and the fat stabilizes, typically within several months. The results are long-lasting, provided patients maintain a stable weight and follow directions.

Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure
The BBL procedure involves two main steps:
- Fat Extraction: Liposuction removes fat from areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks.
- Fat Transfer: The extracted fat is then purified and reinjected into the buttocks using careful planning and an eye for aesthetics.
Preparing for Brazilian Butt Lift
Preparation for a BBL includes an in-depth consultation with Dr. Bolden, who will evaluate the patient’s health and aesthetic goals. In the weeks leading up to surgery, patients may need to avoid certain medications and stop smoking. Dr. Bolden will provide detailed pre-operative instructions.

As with any surgical procedure, BBL has potential risks, including infection, asymmetry, and complications related to fat transfer, such as fat embolism. Dr. Bolden takes every step to ensure patient safety and will discuss the risks in depth during a consultation.
