What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) combines liposuction and fat transfer to enhance buttock shape and volume while refining surrounding areas. During a BBL, Dr. Espinoza removes fat from donor areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or lower back through gentle liposuction. The harvested fat is purified and meticulously injected into the buttocks to create a natural, lifted contour. The result is a fuller, more rounded buttock with improved proportions—while also slimming and sculpting other parts of the body.
The Artistry Behind Dr. Espinoza’s BBL Technique
Dr. Espinoza’s approach focuses on balance, symmetry, and artistry. He carefully assesses each patient’s body frame and aesthetic goals to craft a customized plan. His technique prioritizes gentle fat harvesting to preserve fat cell viability, precise processing, and strategic reinjection into multiple planes of the buttock. This method ensures smooth contour, long-lasting results, and minimal risk of irregularities or hard spots. With extensive experience in both New York and Miami, Dr. Espinoza delivers consistent, beautifully shaped outcomes tailored to each individual.
Top Five Benefits of a Brazilian Butt Lift
Natural Enhancement Using Your Own Fat
Because the procedure uses your own fat, results look and feel natural. The grafted fat integrates seamlessly into tissue, eliminating the need for implants.
Dual Benefits: Augmentation and Slimming
By removing fat from donor areas, you get a slimmer waist, thighs, or back—while enhancing your buttocks for a more defined silhouette.
Reduced Scarring and Faster Recovery
Unlike standard butt implants or extensive lifts, a BBL involves only small incisions for liposuction and grafting. This results in less scarring and typically faster recovery.
Long-Lasting Results
A portion of transferred fat becomes permanently living tissue. With normal weight stability and healthy habits, your results can last a lifetime.
Boost in Confidence and Proportions
The procedure offers a dramatic improvement in self-image and pride, thanks to a fuller, feminine, and more proportionate buttock contour.
Am I a Good Candidate for BBL?
Ideal candidates for a Brazilian Butt Lift meet the following criteria:
Adults in good overall health
Have sufficient donor fat in areas such as the tummy, thighs, flanks, or lower back
Are non-smokers or willing to quit several weeks before and after surgery
Have realistic expectations and understand the recovery timeline
During a personal consultation, Dr. Espinoza will assess your anatomy, listen to your goals, and ensure a safe, effective plan is in place.
Step-by-Step: The BBL Process
1. Consultation
You’ll discuss your goals, undergo a physical exam, and go over your health history. Dr. Espinoza will explain technique, outline expectations, and recommend the best combination of liposuction and fat transfer.
2. Preparation
Prior to surgery, you’ll receive instructions regarding diet, medications, and preparation. You may be advised to stop certain supplements and avoid food or drink before surgery.
3. Anesthesia
BBL is performed under general anesthesia or deep sedation for patient comfort and safety.
4. Fat Harvesting
Small incisions are made in donor areas. A gentle, vibration-assisted liposuction technique is used to obtain clean, healthy fat without damaging the cells.
5. Fat Processing
Extracted fat is purified to separate healthy fat from fluid and unwanted debris, ensuring high-quality graft material.
6. Fat Injection
Using microcannulas, Dr. Espinoza skillfully injects purified fat into multiple buttock layers. This multi-plane technique ensures smoothness, volume, and long-term fat survival.
7. Postoperative Care
Small incisions are closed and covered. You’ll wear compression garments to minimize swelling and help mold your new shape. Detailed recovery instructions will also be provided.
Recovery Timeline: What to Expect
Weeks 0–2: You should avoid sitting directly on your buttocks. Use a special cushion when necessary. Walking lightly begins immediately to support circulation.
Weeks 2–4: Swelling gradually subsides. Gentle exercise is allowed. Compression garments continue to help shape results.
Weeks 4–8: Most normal activities, including sitting without padding and moderate workouts, are gradually resumed.
Months 3–6: Final volume stabilizes as residual swelling resolves. Fat cells that fail to retain are naturally absorbed, while stable grafts remain permanent.
Understanding the Cost of a BBL
In major cities like New York and Miami, BBL procedures generally range from $10,000 to $20,000. The exact cost depends on:
Number of donor areas treated
Complexity of liposuction and fat transfer
Facility fees and anesthesia services
Pre-op exams, garments, and follow-up visits
Dr. Espinoza’s practice offers financing options to make your transformation more accessible without compromising care quality.
