How does it work?
Brazilian Butt Lift or Buttock Lipofilling, What is it?
The Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is a surgical procedure that reshapes the buttocks using the patient’s own fat. This fat is harvested from other areas of the body. This procedure improves fat accumulation in areas where the fat is harvested, allowing you to sculpt and further enhance your silhouette in Tunisia.
Buttock lipofilling is one of the most requested procedures in cosmetic surgery in recent years. The BBL is performed in two stages:
- First, liposuction of one or more areas
- Then, injection of fat extracted by liposuction and filtered.

How do you prepare for a buttock lipofilling procedure?
It is crucial to note that in the two weeks preceding the buttock lipofilling procedure, you must not take aspirin or any medication containing acetylsalicylic acid. In addition, in consultation with your doctor, it is essential to replace oral anticoagulants with low molecular weight heparins. To further limit the risk of deep vein thrombosis in the legs, it is recommended to stop any estrogen-progestin treatment, such as the contraceptive pill, one month before the surgical procedure for patients using it. If you are a smoker, it is crucial to stop smoking at least one week before the operation to reduce the risk of complications after the procedure. It is strongly recommended that you obtain a compression elastic band and stockings for the treated areas without delay.
Liposuction of Fat
Liposuction to remove fat is a popular procedure in cosmetic surgery. This can help reshape and improve the shape of the buttocks. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are risks to consider. One of the most serious is fat embolism, which occurs when small amounts of fat are released into the bloodstream during surgery and can cause a blockage of blood vessels. This can lead to serious complications, such as brain damage or even death. It is therefore important to discuss this with a qualified surgeon to understand all the potential risks and benefits before making a decision to undergo it.
BBL Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery
This procedure is performed using either local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia depending on the case and the areas to be treated. Generally, you will remain in the hospital overnight. The duration of the operation varies from 2 to 4 hours depending on the extent of the areas to be treated by liposuction. Before starting the treatment, the targeted areas are first infiltrated with a special tumescent solution. This mixture of saline solution, local anesthetic, and adrenaline effectively reduces the risks of bleeding, bruising, and swelling, while facilitating the removal of fat cells. Once the procedure is complete, tiny incisions are carefully sutured and a gently compressive dressing is applied using elastics to ensure optimal healing.
Buttock Level
Nowadays, many people seek to improve the appearance of their body, particularly the buttock area. Some people may feel uncomfortable with the volume of their buttocks, while others seek to increase the size of their buttocks for a more attractive appearance. To achieve these goals, some people may opt for methods such as weight loss or specific buttock exercises. However, if these methods do not yield the desired results, another option may be cosmetic surgery. A cosmetic surgeon can offer treatments such as buttock augmentation to help patients achieve the buttock size and volume they desire. Carefully weigh the advantages and risks associated with these options before making a decision.
What to Expect After Buttock Lipofilling?
Pain is virtually absent after this operation, or minimal. Sleep on your back and sit by resting on the lower part of your buttocks with the weight supported by your thighs during the first three weeks. Return to work can be done between 3 and 7 days after the procedure, while the resumption of sports activities is possible after a month and a half. Scars are practically imperceptible, limited to the diameter of the cannulas used for harvesting and re-injection, and are therefore very discreet.
What are the benefits of the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?
Buttock lipofilling, also known as BBL, offers significant aesthetic advantages, but also risks that it is important to consider. Among the main advantages is the possibility of increasing buttock volume naturally using the patient’s own fat, which improves the shape of the buttocks in a rounder and more attractive way. In addition, this procedure offers lasting results, with a high probability of survival of the transplanted fat in its new location. Furthermore, lipofilling also allows sculpting other parts of the body by removing excess fat from unwanted areas, thus contributing to a more harmonious and balanced silhouette.
What are the potential complications of buttock lipofilling?
As in any surgery, although modest and performed on healthy patients, modest wound bleeding returns to normal.
In the rare cases of wound infection, it manifests as pain, swelling, heat and redness of the skin, with or without fever. Any infection can usually be treated with antibiotics and local dressings, but may result in poor quality scars.
Hematoma
The appearance of a hematoma in the first few hours after the operation is rare and is treated by immediate drainage or aspiration. It manifests as intense pain and a sudden increase in the volume of the buttocks and hardness that must be immediately reported to the cosmetic surgeon, as well as the appearance of bruising on the overlying skin in the days that follow. If minor, it resolves spontaneously. However, if larger, it may require evacuation to the operating room.
Serous Fluid Formation
Serous fluid formation consists of the accumulation of a clear yellow liquid called serum, similar to that which forms in the vesicles and blisters of burns. Small amounts are spontaneously reabsorbed, while larger amounts may require aspiration, as in the case of significant bruising.
Skin Necrosis
Skin necrosis is very rare and generally heals with outpatient dressings. This skin necrosis may require resuture to improve the healing result and is more frequent in diabetic, smoking and obese patients. Rare but more frequent than in other plastic surgery procedures are phlebitis and pulmonary fat embolism: their incidence increases with buttock volume if the patient is not mobilized early. In patients with risk factors and large treated areas, the doctor prescribes antithrombotic prophylaxis with low molecular weight heparin for at least two weeks.
What post-operative care is needed after buttock lipofilling?
The first few hours after the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) operation
During the first few hours after the operation, you will have a loss of infiltration fluid mixed with serum from the small holes in the skin, don’t worry. You may experience mild pain, swelling, discomfort, and tightness in the treated area. The latter disappears after taking common analgesics and regresses in a few days. However, if pain appears suddenly with the appearance of sudden swelling, immediately inform the cosmetic surgeon.
The first week after the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) operation
During the first week and sometimes ten days, swelling and bruising may develop not only in the treated areas but also in the surrounding areas due to gravity. They are physiological and regress spontaneously. Similarly, scar tissue hardening may occur. This hardening also resolves in two months and can be treated by lymphatic drainage massages according to the instructions of the cosmetic surgeon. The few small stitches are removed after 7 days. At this stage, you can take your first shower and return to work.
It is necessary to wear the compression dressing day and night for the 4 weeks following the operation to control swelling and support the tissues as they settle into their new shape, as well as to reduce the risk of complications. However, it can be removed during washing and bathing. For at least one week, avoid sitting to minimize the risk of dislocations and fat loss. Then, for the next two months, you will be able to sit, but by placing a cushion on the chair.
Two months after the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) operation
After two months, you can start exercising again, except in the case of buttock prostheses where squat exercises will always be prohibited. For two months, you should still sleep “on your stomach”. For the first 1 to 7 days following the operation, plan for rest, the variability of the period will always depend on the extent of the body areas treated.
In all cases, a quick resumption of walking is indicated, especially in the open air, which promotes the reabsorption of swelling and reduces the likelihood of thrombus formation in the leg veins. Avoid standing without walking, and avoid sun exposure or heat sources (sauna, sunlamps, etc.) for about a month. Note that for a few months, some decrease in skin sensitivity is observed in the treated area.

What results to expect from buttock lipofilling? : Brazilian Butt Lift BBL before and after
When considering buttock lipofilling, it’s natural to wonder what results you can expect. The Brazilian butt lift, or BBL, reshapes and lifts the buttocks using your own body fat. Results can vary from person to person depending on various factors such as the amount of fat available for transfer, skin quality, and individual expectations. In general, after the procedure, you can expect fuller, rounder, and more shapely buttocks. The transferred fat gives a natural and harmonious appearance because it comes from your own body.
It’s important to note that the results are not immediately visible, as some of the transferred fat is reabsorbed by the body over time. However, once the healing process is complete, usually a few months after the procedure, the final results are generally lasting and provide a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing silhouette. Discuss your expectations with your plastic surgeon to get a clearer idea of the results you can anticipate based on your specific case.
