Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a fat-grafting technique that uses the patient's own fat to naturally augment and sculpt the buttocks, while simultaneously improving the donor areas.
02
Surgical technique
The surgeon injects the fat exclusively into the subcutaneous tissue, never into the gluteal muscle, in accordance with the latest international safety guidelines.
03
Recovery
Using the patient's own tissue, the result is remarkably natural, both in appearance and to the touch. The buttocks regain volume, roundness, and projection in a harmonious way.
