What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

The Brazilian butt lift, commonly also known as BBL, is a highly sought-after plastic surgery that uses your own body’s fat to add volume to your buttocks. Therefore, this procedure combines two procedures: one, the extraction of the fat, and second, the injection of it. The extraction is done through liposuction, and once the fat is purified, it is strategically injected into your buttocks, creating a lifted and curvy appearance of the gluteal area. Given the removal of excess and unwanted fat in other areas, this procedure enhances the body’s proportions more pronouncedly.

What Are the Benefits of Brazilian Butt Lift?

In addition to its improved body balance, many of our Atlanta Brazilian butt lift patients have cited some of the following benefits:

Natural results
Better clothing fit
Better body proportions
Boost in self-esteem
Long-lasting results

Let’s Get Started

What’s the first step?

If you are interested in getting a Brazilian butt lift in Atlanta, GA, your first step is to schedule a consultation with Ivy League-trained Dr. Olatomide Familusi. Dr. Familusi will discuss your medical history during your appointment to ensure the procedure is not risky. *For instance, people with hypertension are not advised to undergo liposuction.

During your consultation, Dr. Familusi will address your aesthetic goals and create an expectation by explaining the procedure, its outcomes, and associated risks and benefits so that you can make the most informed decision.

Dr. Familusi will then examine the target areas and discuss your desired buttock silhouette. Once you’ve had a chance to share your questions and concerns and collaboratively arrive at the best direction for your buttock contouring journey, Dr. Familusi will create your customized procedure plan, and our Patient Coordinator will be able to help you schedule your appointment.

Before your BBL appointment, you will be provided with pre-surgery instructions, which you are encouraged to follow. These include directions on eating, drinking, medications, and use of cigarettes and alcohol, amongst other specifics.

What to Expect on the Day of Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery

On the day of your Brazilian butt lift surgery in Atlanta at Élevé Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, Dr. Familusi and her team will welcome you to the state-of-the-art survey center. They will go over the treatment plan with you to make sure there are no outlying questions and/or concerns. Then, a board-certified anesthesiologist will administer general anesthesia to make sure you are pain-free during the entire procedure.

Once sedated, liposuction will be performed via tiny incisions in the agreed-upon areas of your body, leaving these target areas more defined and contoured.

The extracted fat will then be processed and purified for injection into your buttock area to give it a fuller, rounder look, as per your discussion. Dr. Familusi prioritizes patient safety by injecting fat into the buttock’s subcutaneous (fatty) layer and never into the muscle layer. Once the desired shape is achieved, the incisions are sealed with stitches, and the gluteal area is dressed in bandages, followed by a compression garment.

Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery

After surgery, you will be monitored in our recovery room until Dr. Familusi decides that you are safe to be discharged. You will need a family member or friend available to drive you home in case you are still feeling some of the effects of sedation.

Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are expected during this procedure. We recommend you wear your compression garment and follow the post-operative instructions, including proper wound care and restrictions on sitting or lying directly on your buttocks for a certain period.

You may gradually return to your normal activities as instructed. With the proper rest and care, you should return to full activity in about eight weeks.
