Brazilian Butt Lifts are a fat-transfer surgery that reshapes the hips and buttocks using your own fat. First, fat is gently removed from areas like the waist, belly, back, or thighs, then it is cleaned and carefully placed to build rounder, smoother curves. Because the transfer uses your tissue, the result can look and feel natural, and there is no implant. Not all moved fat survives, so surgeons plan for a safe amount and a soft, balanced finish. You will see a change right away, but swelling hides the final look at first. The goal is better proportion—often a smaller-looking waist with fuller, lifted shape.

Safety and technique matter a lot with Brazilian Butt Lifts. Modern best practice focuses on placing fat only in the fatty layer above the muscle and avoiding deep injections where large blood vessels run. Many teams also use special tools, controlled angles, and sometimes ultrasound guidance to confirm safe depth. Your surgeon will also set limits on how much fat can be removed and transferred in one day based on your health and body type. Common early effects include soreness, bruising, and swelling in both the liposuction areas and the buttocks. Less common risks include infection, fluid buildup, uneven contour, or fat embolism, which is why proper screening and an experienced surgical team are key.

Results from Brazilian Butt Lifts depend on healing and how well the transferred fat “takes.” In the first weeks, your body is building new blood supply to the placed fat cells. That is why aftercare rules are strict: you usually avoid sitting directly on the buttocks, sleep on your side or stomach, and wear compression where fat was removed. Stable weight helps the new shape last, since future weight gain or loss can change the size of fat cells. Most people see the clearest contour after swelling calms over several months. With a careful plan, the outcome can be a smoother waist-to-hip curve and a more lifted look that still matches your frame.
