Introduction
Brazilian Butt Lift Introduction
At Anmol Chattha, MD, we offer Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery for carefully selected patients in Houston, TX who desire fuller curves and more balanced body proportions. Our approach prioritizes safety, longevity, and natural-looking results, using your own fat to enhance the buttocks while performing 360-degree liposuction of the torso to sculpt the waist, abdomen, flanks, and back.
A Brazilian Butt Lift is not just about adding volume to the buttocks—it is a full circumferential body-contouring procedure. Every BBL performed by Dr. Chattha includes 360 liposuction, which is essential for creating a smooth, hourglass silhouette and achieving the most natural and proportional result.
What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
A Brazilian Butt Lift is a fat transfer procedure that enhances the size, shape, and contour of the buttocks using fat harvested from other areas of your body. This fat is obtained through 360 liposuction, meaning the abdomen, flanks, waist, and lower back are contoured circumferentially to define the torso and frame the buttocks.
Instead of using implants or synthetic materials, the BBL relies on your own purified fat, allowing for a more natural look and feel. The harvested fat is carefully processed and strategically injected into the buttocks to improve projection, roundness, and shape.
Why Fat Transfer Is the Best Option
While there are multiple ways to enhance the buttocks, fat transfer combined with 360 liposuction is the gold standard when performed on the right candidate.
- Gluteal implants are a poor option due to high rates of infection, wound breakdown, discomfort, and implant flipping or malposition, often requiring revision surgery.
- Sculptra® and injectable fillers do not last forever and can lead to nodules, migration, asymmetry, and contour irregularities, especially in a high-motion area like the buttocks.
- Fat transfer, although more invasive, uses your body’s own tissue and provides the most natural appearance and best long-term integration.
For patients seeking durable, authentic results, fat is the safest and most effective option.
What Are the Benefits of a Brazilian Butt Lift?
A Brazilian Butt Lift offers multiple advantages by reshaping the entire torso while enhancing the buttocks:
- Natural-looking enhancement using your own fat
- 360-degree contouring of the waist, abdomen, flanks, and back
- Improved body proportions and hourglass definition
- Slimming of common problem areas
- Smooth transitions between the waist, hips, and buttocks
- Long-lasting results when weight remains stable
Who Are the Best Candidates for a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Careful patient selection is essential for safety and outcomes. The best candidates for a Brazilian Butt Lift are:
- Healthy patients with a BMI under 30
- Under the age of 50
- Close to their goal weight with adequate donor fat for 360 liposuction
- Non-smokers or willing to stop nicotine use before and after surgery
- Able to comply with strict post-operative positioning and recovery requirements
Dr. Chattha does not perform Brazilian Butt Lift surgery on patients over the age of 50, as age-related changes in tissue quality and healing capacity increase surgical risk and compromise results.
What’s the First Step?
The first step toward a Brazilian Butt Lift in Houston, TX, is scheduling a private consultation with Anmol Chattha, MD. During this visit, we will evaluate donor fat availability for 360 liposuction, review your medical history, and discuss your desired shape and projection.
If you are a suitable candidate, a customized surgical plan will be created outlining liposuction areas, fat transfer strategy, and recovery expectations.
What to Expect on the Day of Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery
Your BBL will be performed at an accredited surgical facility under general anesthesia. Dr. Chattha will first perform 360 liposuction of the torso, followed by purification and strategic fat transfer to the buttocks.
After surgery, you will recover briefly before returning home the same day with detailed aftercare instructions.
Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery
Recovery after a Brazilian Butt Lift is just as important as the surgery itself. Proper positioning, compression, and lymphatic support are critical to fat survival and optimal contouring.
Key Post-Operative Restrictions and Requirements
- Sleeping Position:
You must sleep on your stomach for a full 8 weeks after surgery. This positioning protects the transferred fat and helps maintain your results. Side or back sleeping during this period can compromise fat survival. - Massage Therapy:
Post-operative massages are an integral part of the healing process, particularly in the first month. Daily lymphatic or post-surgical massage is strongly encouraged for the first 7–10 days, followed by regular sessions throughout the first month to reduce swelling, improve contour, and support healing. - Compression Garment (Faja): Wearing your faja or compression garment for a full 3 months is essential. Compression helps control swelling, supports skin retraction, and maintains the shape achieved with 360 liposuction.
Additional recovery guidelines include avoiding direct pressure on the buttocks for several weeks, using specialized pillows when necessary, and limiting strenuous activity. Swelling and bruising are expected and gradually improve over time.
Out-of-town patients are required to stay locally for a minimum of 7 days after surgery to allow for proper monitoring and early follow-up care.
