The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) before and after results typically show a noticeable enhancement in the shape, volume, and contour of the buttocks. Before the procedure, patients may have flatter or less defined buttocks, while after the BBL, there is usually a fuller, rounder, and more lifted appearance. The surgery involves liposuction to remove fat from one or more areas of the body, which is then purified and injected into the buttocks to achieve the desired shape and size.
Before BBL
- The buttocks may lack volume or shape.
- Fat may be present in areas like the abdomen, waist, hips, or thighs that can be liposuctioned.
- The skin may have less contour and definition.
After BBL
- Buttocks appear fuller and more rounded.
- Enhanced projection and lift of the buttocks.
- Contouring of surrounding areas where fat was removed, such as the waist for a more defined hourglass figure.
- Swelling and bruising are common immediately post-op, with gradual improvement.
- Final results stabilize typically after 3 to 6 months as swelling subsides and transferred fat establishes blood supply.
Additional insights
- Patients wear compression garments post-surgery to support the new shape and reduce swelling.
- Sitting directly on the buttocks is avoided initially, often using a BBL pillow.
- Long-lasting results require maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
- Results can be personalized to goals such as subtle enhancement or dramatic volume increase, and tailored for gender-specific aesthetics.
Many clinics offer galleries of before and after photos illustrating a variety of outcomes, showing transformations from slimmer to curvier silhouettes and illustrating how fat is transferred and reshaped to achieve natural-looking, lasting results.
