Butt Lift (BBL)

At Gentle Clinic, our Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure offers a comprehensive solution for enhancing your buttock shape and volume using your own natural fat. The procedure begins with a detailed consultation where our specialist will assess your body type, discuss your aesthetic goals, and explain what results you can realistically expect based on your anatomy. Before your procedure, you'll receive complete pre-operative instructions, including guidelines on medications to avoid, lifestyle adjustments, and what to bring on the day of surgery. The BBL procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 3-4 hours to complete. The procedure consists of three main stages: First, our surgeon performs liposuction to harvest fat from donor areas of your body—commonly the abdomen, flanks, lower back, or thighs. This step uses specialized techniques that preserve fat cell viability while sculpting these areas to enhance your overall body contour. Next, the harvested fat undergoes a purification process where it's carefully processed and prepared for transfer. This crucial step separates healthy, viable fat cells from damaged cells and other fluids. Finally, the purified fat is strategically injected into specific areas of your buttocks to create the desired shape, volume, and projection. Our surgeons use advanced layering techniques to ensure maximum fat survival and natural-looking results. After surgery, you'll be fitted with a compression garment to minimize swelling and support the newly transferred fat. Recovery requires careful attention to positioning—you'll need to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for approximately 2-3 weeks to protect the transferred fat cells as they establish their blood supply. The initial recovery period lasts about 2 weeks, during which you'll experience swelling and bruising in both the donor areas and buttocks. Most patients can return to light work after 10-14 days, though you'll need to continue using modified sitting techniques (using special pillows or sitting on your thighs) for several more weeks. While you'll see an immediate change in your silhouette, your final results will develop over 3-6 months as swelling resolves and the transferred fat stabilizes. Approximately 60-80% of the transferred fat typically remains permanently, with the rest being naturally absorbed by your body. Throughout your recovery, our team provides comprehensive support, including regular follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress and answer any questions you may have. We're committed to ensuring your comfort and satisfaction throughout the entire process.
