What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a cosmetic surgery that uses your own body fat to enhance the size, shape, and contour of the buttocks. It involves removing unwanted fat from other areas of the body—such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks—through liposuction, and then carefully injecting that fat into the buttocks for a fuller, rounder look.

BBL provides natural-looking results and improves overall body proportions.
