What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a surgical procedure that enhances the shape and projection of the buttocks using fat harvested from other areas of the body—typically the abdomen, flanks, or thighs.

The fat is carefully purified and then artistically transferred to the buttocks for a fuller, more youthful contour.

Dr. Gabrick uses advanced fat grafting techniques, including ultrasound guidance, to prioritize safety and long-lasting outcomes.

Mini BBL: Subtle Sculpting, Lasting Elegance

The Mini BBL is ideal for patients seeking a conservative enhancement or those with less available donor fat. Dr. Gabrick performs it using the same safety-forward fat grafting techniques but in smaller volumes.

This version is perfect for refining shape, correcting asymmetry, or enhancing athletic proportions—especially for patients who want a boost, not a dramatic transformation.

BBL Benefits

  • Enhances the size, shape, and symmetry of the buttocks
  • Slims donor areas such as the waist, abdomen, or thighs
  • Uses your own fat for a natural look and feel
  • Avoids implants and associated risks
  • Improves clothing fit and body confidence
  • Long-lasting results when paired with a healthy lifestyle
  • Can correct age-related volume loss or shape irregularities

Are You a Good Candidate for a BBL?

You may be a strong candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift if you:

  • Are in overall good health, with no uncontrolled medical conditions (such as diabetes, anemia, or bleeding disorders)
  • Do not smoke or are willing to stop smoking well before and after surgery
  • Have adequate fat reserves in donor areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or back
  • Maintain a stable, healthy weight and have a body mass index (BMI) generally under 30
  • Have good skin elasticity in both the donor and the recipient areas
  • Are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Can commit to avoiding direct pressure on the buttocks for 2–3 weeks after surgery
  • Are prepared to follow all post-operative instructions for recovery and safety

Using physical exams, advanced imaging, and detailed conversations, he’ll design a surgical plan that aligns with your vision while maintaining the highest standards of safety and proportion. 

You’ll also discuss the cost of a Brazilian Butt Lift in Nashville, which varies based on:

  • The number of liposuction areas treated
  • Whether you opt for a full or Mini BBL

Pricing starts at $9,000, including all surgical, anesthesia, and facility fees.

Procedure Expectations

BBL surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately 3–4 hours.

Dr. Gabrick begins by performing liposuction on the donor sites, carefully sculpting these areas to create a tapered, contoured waist. The fat is then purified and reinjected into strategic zones of the buttocks to enhance volume and shape.

You’ll be monitored closely in our accredited surgical facility and return home the same day.

Recovery and Results

  • Most patients return to light activity within 7–10 days, but sitting directly on the buttocks must be avoided for 2–3 weeks
  • Special pillows or side-lying positions are used during this time
  • Swelling subsides over 6–8 weeks, and final results emerge over 3–6 months as the fat settles and integrates
  • With proper care, BBL results are long-lasting and beautifully natural

Alternative or Related Procedures

  • Liposuction alone: For patients seeking only body contouring without fat transfer.
  • Tummy tuck: Combines well with BBL for postpartum or massive weight loss patients.
  • Non-surgical butt enhancement (Radiesse): Offers subtle volume increase over time without surgery.

Will all the fat survive the transfer?

What are donor areas?

Can thin patients have a BBL?

What’s the downtime?

What are the risks of a BBL?

How long do BBL results last?

When the transferred fat cells establish a blood supply, the results can last for many years. However, weight fluctuations and aging may affect the results over time.

Is BBL surgery safe?

Yes—with proper technique. Following current safety protocols, Dr. Gabrick uses ultrasound guidance and avoids deep muscle injection.

Will all the fat survive the transfer?

Typically, 60–80% of the transferred fat remains permanently. Some resorption is expected.

Can I combine BBL with other procedures?

Yes. BBL is often paired with breast surgery or a tummy tuck for full-body rejuvenation.

What are donor areas?

Common donor areas include the abdomen, flanks, lower back, thighs, and arms.

Can thin patients have a BBL?

Yes—with the Mini BBL or advanced liposuction techniques, even lean patients may qualify.

Is it painful?

You’ll have post-op soreness, especially in liposuction areas. Most patients manage well with prescribed pain medication.

What’s the downtime?

Most patients should plan for a recovery period of 14 to 21 days with activity restrictions. While some may feel well enough to resume light tasks sooner, full recovery depends on factors like whether you’ll be upright all day or need to sit directly on your rear, such as for driving or desk work. We'll provide personalized guidance based on your lifestyle and job demands.

Will I have scars?

Scars are minimal—just a few tiny incisions from liposuction and fat transfer, typically hidden in natural creases.

When can I exercise again?

Light walking begins immediately. Strenuous workouts can resume after 4–6 weeks.

What are the risks of a BBL?

Risks include fat embolism, asymmetry, infection, and fat resorption. Choosing a qualified surgeon significantly reduces these risks.
