A Brazilian Butt Lift reshapes the waist, hips and buttocks using your own fat. Fat is removed from selected donor areas with liposuction, carefully processed, and strategically transferred to create projection and smoother, more balanced curves without buttock implants.
A good candidate is generally in good health, near a stable weight, has enough donor fat, and wants improved shape rather than an identical copy of someone else’s body. Dr. Bucio reviews your anatomy, medical history, medications and goals before deciding whether a traditional or Skinny BBL is appropriate.
The amount of volume depends on your donor fat, tissue quality, proportions and the shape that can be created safely. Some transferred fat is naturally reabsorbed during healing, while the fat that establishes a blood supply can remain long term. Your result becomes easier to judge as swelling settles.
Direct pressure on the transferred fat is limited during early healing. You may need to sleep on your side or stomach and use a BBL pillow when sitting. The exact timing and positioning plan depends on your procedure and progress, so follow the instructions given by Dr. Bucio’s surgical team.
Expect swelling, bruising and temporary tightness in both the donor areas and buttocks. Your care plan may include compression garments, assisted walking, medication and follow-up visits. VIDA’s on-site recovery setting provides 24/7 support while Dr. Bucio’s team monitors your early healing and clears you for travel.
A BBL may be combined with Lipo 360, a tummy tuck, lower body lift or selected Mommy Makeover procedures when the overall plan is appropriate and safe. Dr. Bucio determines the combination and surgical scope after reviewing your health, anatomy and recovery needs.
