What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

A Brazilian Butt Lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and projection of the buttocks using fat harvested from other areas of your body. Common donor sites include the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and back. The procedure involves liposuction to remove unwanted fat, which is then purified and strategically injected into the buttocks for a natural, lifted look.

For patients with a higher BMI or excess abdominal fat, a BBL can be combined with a Plus Size Tummy Tuck® or other body contouring procedures for a complete transformation.

Ideal Candidates for a Brazilian Butt Lift

Not everyone is a candidate for a BBL in Scottsdale & Phoenix. The best candidates typically:

  • Desire enhanced buttock shape, volume, or projection
  • Have sufficient fat in donor areas for transfer
  • Maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle
  • Are in overall good health and non-smokers
  • Understand the importance of post-operative care for optimal results

Dr. Repta tailors each procedure to the patient’s anatomy and goals, including plus size patients and those who want a comprehensive body contouring approach.

Areas Brazilian Butt Lift Can Treat

BBL addresses multiple areas to maximize results:

  • Buttocks: Adds volume, projection, and lift for a curvier shape
  • Hips and Flanks: Smooths love handles and enhances the waist-to-hip ratio
  • Lower Back: Removes stubborn fat to create a more sculpted contour
  • Thighs & Abdomen: Optional fat removal for a more harmonious silhouette

By combining liposuction with fat transfer, Dr. Repta sculpts a natural, proportional figure while improving body contours.

GLP-1 Weight Loss Medications and Brazilian Butt Lift

Patients using GLP-1 weight loss medications (such as semaglutide or tirzepatide) may notice changes in body fat distribution and a reduction in overall weight. These medications can complement your Brazilian Butt Lift journey:

  • Loose skin after weight loss: GLP-1 can reduce fat, but excess skin may remain; BBL can help enhance body shape afterward.
  • Body contouring after GLP-1: BBL can be part of a post-GLP-1 contouring plan to sculpt your curves naturally.
