What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
The Brazilian butt lift is a procedure that enhances the size and appearance of the gluteal area. For many people, having a butt that is disproportionate to the rest of their body can feel unbalanced. Increasing the volume and reshaping the buttocks creates a better definition that can enhance your overall appearance.
Thinking About Having a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Increase your butt fullness
For many women, full, shapely buttocks are a symbol of femininity and sensuality. When the gluteal area lacks fullness, it can appear undefined. The Brazilian buttocks lift uses fat transfer to achieve a fuller backside. For many women, this helps them fill out pants better and opens a broader range of clothing for them to wear.
Restore balance to your figure
A smaller buttocks may be affecting the balance of your overall figure, but Dr. Daniel Reichner can help you with that. For some, curves are an essential aspect of creating a proportionate figure. Your buttocks may lack definition in comparison to the rest of your body.
Achieve long-lasting results
The BBL offers results that can last for many years with proper care. Since the procedure uses your own fat cells, the enhancements integrate naturally into your body. With a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, you can enjoy the benefits of a fuller, more defined shape over time.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift?
The ideal candidates for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) are individuals in good overall health who maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine but struggle to achieve their desired buttock shape. Candidates must also have enough fat in another area of the body (a donor site) to transfer to the buttocks.
Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and certain medical conditions that affect healing can increase the risk of complications and delay recovery. To optimize results, refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol for four to six weeks before and after the procedure.
The decision to undergo a BBL should be entirely personal. Being influenced by others may lead to dissatisfaction or regret.
Results vary from person to person, so it’s important to approach the procedure with realistic expectations.
What to Expect From the Brazilian Butt Lift
During your consultation, we will evaluate your natural body type and butt shape to discuss the best options to achieve your butt enhancement goals. In the first part of your procedure, liposuction removes excess fatty tissue from troublesome parts of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, and back.
The removed fat is processed to eliminate unwanted oil and other tissues. This processed fat is then injected into the buttocks through three small incisions using a syringe attached to a cannula. The fat is grafted in multiple layers to tailor the shape of the buttocks, which helps ensure a smooth deposit of fat.
The incisions are then closed with sutures. A compression garment is used in the weeks following your surgery to facilitate healing and to help ensure good results.
Thank you Dr. Reichner,
I am so grateful for your expertise, knowledge and your amazing gift of being a surgeon. Thank you for turning my dream into a reality.
God Bless you Richly

How Long Does BBL Last?
A Brazilian Butt Lift provides long-lasting, natural-looking results by transferring your own fat, usually from areas like the abdomen or thighs, to the buttocks. Approximately 60–80% of the transferred fat is typically retained after the healing process, ensuring durable, well-defined contours as the fat integrates with the surrounding tissue.
To maximize the longevity of your BBL, maintaining a stable weight is vital. Significant weight fluctuations can alter the results as the transplanted fat behaves like natural fat in your body. A healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, supports lasting outcomes.
It’s also essential to follow post-procedure care instructions by our experienced Orange County plastic surgeon, Dr. Reichner, such as avoiding direct pressure on the buttocks during the healing period. With proper care and weight management, your enhanced contours can last for years, offering a natural, sculpted appearance.
What Will My Recovery Be Like Following A BBL?
You will experience some bruising, swelling, and redness after the procedure. Direct pressure cannot be applied to the buttocks for eight weeks because it reduces blood circulation and injures the transferred fat cells.
You should avoid sitting or laying on your back for the first two weeks following your procedure. After this time, you may attempt a sitting position using a pillow to take pressure off the buttocks. Wear a compression garment for eight weeks to minimize swelling and discomfort and to prevent blood clots. Pain medication will be prescribed to help ease any pain during recovery.
Most major swelling should subside after three months. By this time, you should be able to resume your normal activities, including sitting and exercising, but only with Dr. Reichner’s approval.
Here are some more tips to support a smooth recovery:
- Sleep on your stomach or side to minimize pressure on the buttocks.
- Stay hydrated and eat a nutrient-rich diet to support healing.
- Avoid strenuous activities for at least four weeks, but stay active with light walking to promote circulation.
