Having shapely, alluring buttocks has become a highly desirable aesthetic. Celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian have won notoriety for their bountiful behinds. Many of us have tried to perfect this look by spending extensive time and effort at the gym. However, even coupled with a healthy diet, this still may not have yielded the results you want. Thanks to a Brazilian butt lift, enhancing the appearance of your behind is easier than ever before.
A BBL is more than a “lift.” It is a body contouring procedure that utilizes an autologous fat grafting technique: it reshapes and resculpts your buttocks using the body fat you already have. Through liposuction, we can extract unwanted fat from donor areas, purify the fat tissue, and then artistically transplant the fat into the buttocks. [1] This highly versatile procedure modifies your waist-to-hip ratio by enhancing the projection of your buttocks and forming an attractive hourglass-shaped contour. Whatever your reason for getting an alluring backside, a BBL is an effective treatment for people who are looking for some extra assistance in perfecting their gluteal look.

Preparing for a BBL
Dr. Lin and our fabulous staff will guide you through the process of preparing for your BBL. At your consultation, Dr. Lin will give you detailed instructions. Below is a list of a few items to take care of beforehand so that you enjoy a smooth procedure and recovery. We advise patients to:
- Adjust medication intake: Temporary discontinue non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines like aspirin, ibuprofen, and other similar drugs at least two weeks before your procedure date.
- Refrain from smoking/drinking: Avoid both for at least two weeks as they may compromise your procedure, recovery, and results.
- Make arrangements at work: Tell your employer that you may need to take at least 2 weeks off to recuperate.
- Arrange transportation: Designate a caring friend or another responsible adult to drive you home because the effects of the anesthesia and location of the procedure will leave you unable to do so.
Procedure
Upon arrival, we’ll show you to your treatment room, where you’ll be administered anesthesia for your comfort. Dr. Lin will make temporary reference marks on the body that will guide him and the medical staff. Once this happens, he’ll begin the BBL treatment by liposuctioning the fat from the designated harvest areas. Small incisions will be made so that a thin, hollow tube can remove fat from the abs, flanks, thighs, or upper arms. The fat will be purified and cleansed before being injected at different layers of the skin to ensure graft survival and to create an ideal result. [3] All incisions are closed up with sutures and bandages. The entire process can take up to four hours, depending on the results desired.
Recovery
Plan to take it easy when you get home. You will be given a compression garment to maintain the shape of your new curves and reduce swelling. Bruising, soreness, and swelling may be present for 7-10 days but will gradually subside. [4] We will prescribe medication to assist with any discomfort. Please do not directly sit on your butt and avoid other sources of pressure. You will need to rest and sleep on your stomach for at least two weeks. Any deviation from these instructions may cause a shifting of the fat placement. The entire recovery process can take anywhere between 2 to 6 weeks. Strenuous activities can be resumed in 6-8 weeks.
Results
Your body will begin to adapt to your new contours in the upcoming weeks. As time goes on, the swelling, discomfort and soreness will subside. Within six months, you will be able to enjoy your final results: a brand new derriere that will surely attract attention from your inner circle and new acquaintances alike! Your smooth, round, lifted buttocks will be yours to keep for years on end.
Cost for a Brazilian Butt Lift
A Brazilian butt lift price is based on the patient’s unique body, the specific look they desire, and the other details of your procedure. Dr. Lin will happily discuss this with you at length at your consultation in our office in West Covina. Feel free to call us at (626) 810-6165 for a preliminary quote of the procedure.
FAQ
WILL THE RESULT BE PERMANENT?
The results of a Brazilian butt lift can last up to ten years or more! As long as you maintain an active lifestyle and don’t have major weight fluctuations, you can preserve your results for years to come.
WHEN CAN I SIT ON MY BUTT AGAIN?
Patients need to avoid sitting directly on their butt for a few weeks.[5] This is to allow the area to heal properly. Until then, patients are advised to rest on their stomachs.
