Brazilian Butt Lift
Also called: BBL, gluteal fat grafting
A Brazilian butt lift transfers fat from other areas of your body to the buttocks. Safety technique matters more in this procedure than in most cosmetic surgery, so surgeon selection is critical.

The two questions
Before anything else
Recovery and cost decide whether brazilian butt lift is possible for you at all. Everything else on this page assumes you have answered these two.
Recovery
Most patients avoid sitting directly on the buttocks for about 2 weeks and return to desk work in 1 to 2 weeks with a special cushion.
Cost
The average surgeon fee is $7,264.
That figure is the latest ASPS statistic , and it is the surgeon's fee alone. Anesthesia and the facility are billed on top, and your city moves the total.
Before you book
What should I ask at a consultation?
Ask about board certification, ultrasound guidance, where fat is placed, and how many of these procedures the surgeon performs.
We check board certification against public board data and publish the source and the date on every profile. It is free for every surgeon and it is never for sale.
Common questions
What people ask about brazilian butt lift
- Is a BBL safe?
- Safety has improved with ultrasound-guided technique and strict fat-placement rules. Ask any surgeon exactly how they place fat and whether they use ultrasound guidance.
- How much of the fat survives?
- A portion of transferred fat is reabsorbed in the first months. Surgeons plan for this, and the result you see around 3 months is close to final.
