What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is the go-to procedure for Houston patients who wish to achieve Instagram-inspired curves or enhance and balance their body proportions with natural yet noticeable results.

In truth, the term Brazilian butt lift is somewhat misleading, as the skin and tissue are not actually lifted. Instead, this popular cosmetic procedure uses your own unwanted fat to sculpt and reshape the buttocks through a technique called fat grafting. Moving the fat instead of lifting the skin requires only a few small entry sites rather than a large incision.

Are You a Good BBL Candidate?

In general, good candidates for BBL surgery share these traits:

  • Nonsmokers in good overall health
  • Good skin tone and elasticity in the hips and buttocks region
  • Excess fatty tissue in unwanted areas, such as the stomach, hips, and thighs
  • Maintaining a stable, healthy weight

Having realistic expectations about the BBL procedure and recovery process is essential. During your personalized consultation, Dr. Newall thoroughly answers your questions and assesses your candidacy for Brazilian butt lift surgery.

What Can a Brazilian Butt Lift Do for You?

A well-executed Brazilian butt lift performed by a skilled plastic surgeon creates flattering, natural-looking curves. Dr. Newall’s BBL patients enjoy these benefits:

A rounder, shapelier bottom

Long-lasting results

Minimal scarring

Enhanced body confidence

Since the procedure uses natural fat transfer, there’s minimal risk of an adverse reaction, making it a safer alternative to artificial fillers or butt implants.

Advanced Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery: The Dr. Newall Difference

A top Brazilian butt lift surgeon, Dr. Newall’s innovative techniques draw patients from Houston and all over the world seeking enhanced yet natural-looking body contours.


Brazilian Butt Lift Roller Pump Technique

Dr. Newall is renowned for his advanced BBL roller pump technique, a power-assisted approach he has perfected to enhance results and accelerate recovery. This innovative method allows patients to sit as early as the day after surgery, a significant advantage over traditional BBL techniques.

The roller pump technique ensures precise fat distribution across multiple tissue layers, minimizing fat migration and optimizing long-term retention. For added comfort, Dr. Newall administers EXPAREL directly into the buttocks during the procedure. This long-lasting local analgesic begins controlling post-surgical pain before you even wake up, facilitating a smoother, more comfortable recovery.


BBL With Liposuction Technique

A BBL with liposuction presents the ultimate body contouring combination, eliminating stubborn fat from areas such as the waist, abdomen, and hips while enhancing curves in all the right places.

During this procedure, Dr. Newall strategically removes excess fat using liposuction and meticulously layers the purified fat into the buttocks to create a fuller, lifted shape. The result? A beautifully sculpted silhouette—a flatter, more toned midsection, a slim waist, and rounder, more youthful-looking buttocks.

Some patients also choose to enhance their facial features with facial fat grafting, adding volume to the cheeks or lips for a rejuvenated, youthful look.

Your Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery

While healing varies, Dr. Newall’s BBL patients usually experience an accelerated recovery due to his innovative approach:


Immediately After Surgery

  • Return home to prioritize rest
  • Take pain medications as prescribed by Dr. Newall

A Few Days After Surgery

  • You may sit down 24 hours after surgery—a significant benefit compared to other BBL methods
  • Swelling, bruising, and tenderness peak at the liposuction site
  • Wear a compression garment to support healing

1 to 2 Weeks After Surgery

  • Return to work and nonstrenuous activities
  • Swelling and bruising gradually subside

4 to 6 Weeks After Surgery

  • Resume more strenuous activities
  • A compression garment is no longer needed
  • Swelling continues to resolve

While you will look great after about a month, your final BBL results take around 6 months to a year to develop as swelling fully subsides. Incisions gradually fade until scars are virtually undetectable. Remember, every “body” heals uniquely; patience is key throughout recovery.

Brazilian Butt Lift FAQ


Is a Brazilian butt lift dangerous?

BBL surgery is safe when performed correctly by a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive body sculpting expertise. You should never be tempted to compromise your safety for a “bargain” BBL. This can result in potential risks such as lumps, dents, infection, or embolisms.

Dr. Newall is a board-certified, award-winning body contouring surgeon who performs your surgery at The Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery SurgiCentre. This private, state-of-the-art QUAD A surgical facility exceeds the highest safety standards in Texas.


Can you combine other procedures with a BBL?

Yes, many of Dr. Newall’s patients choose to combine their BBL with complementary body contouring procedures such as a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, and breast lift. This approach is popular among women who wish to restore their pre-baby shape with a comprehensive mommy makeover that addresses multiple concerns during a single surgery.


How long do the results of a Brazilian butt lift last?

Brazilian butt lift surgery is long-lasting, but if you lose weight, the fat will shrink, and if you gain weight, the fat will expand. In most cases, about 70% of the injected fat remains in the area, and about 30% is reabsorbed by the body, although this varies from patient to patient. Eating a healthy diet and maintaining a stable weight help preserve your sculpted look.
