Enhance your curves and confidence with a Brazilian butt lift in Fort Lauderdale

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is designed to enhance your natural shape, creating curves that feel aligned with your body composition. Unlike implants, a BBL uses your body’s own fat to add volume and shape to your buttocks, while slimming areas like the waist, stomach, or flanks with the fat removed using liposuction. 

A BBL procedure in Fort Lauderdale is highly customizable at the South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery. Personalized surgical plans are designed around your goals and anatomy. From snatching your waistline to enhancing projection and symmetry, patients experience an improvement in confidence in body contouring

Our team of expert plastic surgeons in Fort Lauderdale, Dr. Brandon Elnekaveh and Dr. Robert Cucin, uses high-precision technology and techniques to achieve powerful BBL transformations. Whether you’re filling out jeans, swimwear, or simply walking into a room, this cosmetic procedure helps you feel like the most confident version of yourself.

Your body, your goals — personalized Brazilian butt lift surgery

The South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery believes that everyone has a unique style, lifestyle, and curves. Our team is committed to creating a surgical plan just for you and your anatomy to fit your aesthetic goals. 

Your BBL surgical plan will focus on removing excess fat from targeted areas where stubborn fat cells may be located, like the abdomen, flanks, waist, and thighs. Once this fat is removed, it is directly transferred to the buttocks to enhance shape, symmetry, volume, and projection. Your new look? A more accentuated hourglass shape and added volume where you want it the most, creating a defined contour. 

Patients experienced more comfort and a boost in confidence when wearing certain clothing, and everyday movement feels easier. 

The cost of a Brazilian Butt Lift in Fort Lauderdale at the South Florida Center starts at $2,999 (anesthesia and surgeon fees not included). Your coordinator will get in touch with your final personalized quote, and it will depend on the amount of fat removed and if you’re combining any other procedures. 

At our center, we believe that cosmetic procedures should feel accessible. This is why your consultant will walk you through our financing payment through third-party companies with a very easy and quick application. Our staff is here to support you from start to finish to ensure a smooth journey.

Understanding Techniques & Incisions

What type of BBL is right for you?

Understanding and evaluating your concerns and goals are key to creating your personalized surgical plan, because no two bodies are the same. A Brazilian Butt Lift comes in a variety of techniques, and choosing the right approach for your frame, goals, and structure will ensure the best results that match your vision.

Common types of BBLs include:
Traditional BBL procedure

Traditional BBL

This is the most common BBL technique among patients. It consists of removing fat from multiple areas of the body, often the abdomen, flanks, lower back, or thighs, and transferring it directly to the buttocks and hip dips. This is ideal for patients with moderate to ample fat pockets who are looking for a fuller transformation.

Skinny BBL procedure

Skinny BBL

This technique is ideal for patients who are naturally lean and have lower body fat. This type of approach delivers a subtle enhancement and strategic placement of the fat to refine the waist-to-hip ratio, creating curves that look and feel natural.

BBL no quirúrgico

Non-surgical BBL

We understand that not everyone is ready for surgery; this is why we have a non-surgical BBL with Sculptra or Radiesse, an injectable dermal filler. These fillers stimulate collagen projection and deliver subtle volume to the buttocks without transferring fat or the need for liposuction. This is great for those who are looking for a more natural finish, and it is great for fixing hip dips.

Athletic, sculpted BBL

Athletic or Sculpted BBL

For patients who already live an active and healthy lifestyle, this technique enhances definition over volume. This type of technique contours around the glutes to highlight and enhance existing muscle tone in the area. Fat transfer is more precise. The result? A lifted, firmer, and athletic appearance.

Where are BBL incisions placed?

What our patients love about a BBL is that incisions are extremely small, discreet and strategically placed in the natural folds of your body to be easy to hide beneath underwear and swimsuits.

Your BBL surgeon in Fort Lauderdale will disclose the exact location of your incisions to ensure the most aesthetic and optimal result possible that matches your goals.

BBL lipo incisions

Liposuction Incisions

Tiny incisions (typically 3–5 mm) are made in areas like the lower back, flanks, or abdomen to harvest fat. These are placed in less visible areas and usually fade significantly over time.

BBL fat transfer incisions

Fat Transfer Incisions

A few additional incisions are made near the buttocks to allow for precise fat injection. These are also small and carefully positioned to minimize visibility once healed.

Prioritizing your safety with ultrasound-guided BBL

At the South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery, our number one priority is to deliver the best results while keeping you safe during any cosmetic procedure. This is why we perform BBL surgeries using real-time ultrasound guidance. This technology is the most advanced and safest today.

With ultrasound technology, your butt lift surgeon can ensure the exact location of the fat transfer and exactly where the cannula is inserted. This minimizes the risk of fat being injected too deeply or beneath any muscle. Fat is successfully injected in superficial layers, significantly reducing the risk of complications. 

Benefits of ultrasound-guided BBL

This advanced technology is used at our center to combine precision, artistry, and safety. This ensures beautiful, natural-looking curves while your health is protected during the whole process.

Relieve lower back and hip strain

A BBL helps remove the excess fat pockets that can impact how you move and your everyday life. By redistributing the fat from areas like the abdomen and flanks to the buttocks, a butt lift can help you restore and relieve back and hip tension.

Improve posture and core engagement

The redistribution of fat along your backside naturally enhances your body’s center of gravity, improving posture and achieving a firmer core. Many patients find that standing, walking, and exercising feel more comfortable.

Make exercise and movement feel more empowered

Confidence is a key part of enjoying a healthy and active lifestyle. Patients report feeling more comfortable and confident, whether they are hitting the gym, dancing, or just going for a walk.

Enhance clothing fit and style options

Achieving a more sculpted silhouette often delivers a boost in confidence when wearing a certain type of clothing. Many patients feel more excited with their new style and find joy in expanding their wardrobe.

Boost confidence and body image

A BBL is not only a cosmetic procedure, but for many, it’s a decision that helps to boost overall self-esteem and body image. Patients feel sexier and more aligned with their own body, helping them achieve the ideal version of themselves.

You’ll have your consultation with your surgeon to create a customized surgical plan. Our pre-operative team will ensure that you complete the required bloodwork, necessary medical clearance, and take your before pictures to get you ready for surgery day.

Día de la cirugía

Rest becomes a priority for the first 24-72 hours post-surgery, your surgeon will advise to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks. Swelling, soreness and drainage at liposuction sites are normal. You must continue wearing your compression garment to help reduce swelling and support circulation and your new shape. You’ll have prescribed pain medication to manage any type of discomfort.

1 semana postoperatoria

You’ll be back to our office one week post-op, and your surgeon will monitor the incision area and how the healing process is progressing. It is important to keep avoiding direct pressure or sitting on the buttocks, a BBL pillow will be essential to ease your recovery. Light walking is recommended to support circulation, but all strenuous activity should be avoided.

Frequently asked BBL questions

What is a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?

A Brazilian Butt Lift, or better known as a BBl, is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the shape, volume, and overall proportions of the buttocks without the need for implants. Fat is removed from areas like the abdomen, flanks, waist, back or thighs through liposuction, then gets purified and, with a fine cannula, is inserted into the buttocks, delivering a natural and balanced shape.

Ideal candidates for a BBL surgery are those who are in overall good health, have a proper amount of fat in donor areas, and would like to enhance the volume or projection of their buttocks. Patients must be near their ideal weight and are mainly looking for natural alternatives to implants.

A BBL Surgery takes around 2-3 hours, depending on the number of areas being liposuctioned and the total amount of fat transferred. This procedure is done under general anesthesia to ensure the patient’s safety and comfort. Some cases may take slightly longer if multiple donor sites are involved.

Common areas include: Abdomen, waist, flanks, lower back, and thighs. These are areas where patients tend to store stubborn fat, which can be liposuctioned, purified, and then transferred to the buttocks. Your surgeon will select areas based on your anatomy and main concerns.

Many patients start feeling better after 7-10 days. It is important to keep in consideration that strenuous activities and sitting directly on the buttocks can be limited until the 2-month mark. Swelling and soreness are expected, and final results are revealed around the 3-6 months mark once the fat has fully integrated into the buttocks. 

No, your surgeon will advise you to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for the first 2-3 weeks. The fat must be protected to ensure a high survival rate and even distribution. Buying a BBL pillow will help you ease your healing journey; however, lying on your stomach or side is recommended during surgery recovery to preserve your results.

60-80% of the fat transferred survives permanently after a BBL surgery. It is highly important to follow your post-operative instructions properly, especially avoiding direct pressure on the treated area and maintaining a stable weight, which will optimize the new blood supply, and the fat will remain in place long-term. 

A BBL is the perfect approach if you’re looking for natural results; your own tissue is used to create more volume and projection while lowering any long-term risks. Implants could be ideal for those patients who don’t have a lot of fat stored and desire significant volume.

At South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery, the starting price for a BBL is $2,999 (not including anesthesia and surgeon fees). Final pricing will be provided by your coordinator, and it will vary depending on the amount of fat liposuctioned, donor areas and if you’re combining any other procedures. Flexible financing may be available to make your procedure more accessible.

A traditional BBL is ideal for those patients who store more fat in donor areas and are looking for a more dramatic and curvy look. A skinny BBL is ideal for those who have a naturally smaller frame and are looking for a subtle and more proportionate enhancement in volume and projection.

Initial changes are visible right away after surgery, but keep in mind that swelling is present, and you have to temporarily wear compression garments during your recovery journey. Patients can see final results within the 3-6 month mark, giving them a better visual of the surviving fat, leaving them with long-lasting curves and new volume.

Yes, a BBL can be combined with other procedures; your surgeon will help you create the most optimal surgery plan to ensure a smooth recovery. Certain combinations, like a BBL and a mommy makeover, are not recommended due to safety considerations.

Yes! Our expert plastic surgeons use advanced technology and precise fat grafting techniques to ensure your safety. Using ultrasound-guided insertions allows your surgeon to insert the fat in the correct areas without damaging any muscles and optimizing the survival rates.

A BBL is considered long-lasting; however, your surgeon will advise you to maintain a healthy lifestyle, balanced diets and continuous exercise to maintain your results. Many patients can enjoy their results regarding aging or weight changes.

You’ll need to avoid strenuous exercise, especially lower-body workouts, for at least 4 to 6 weeks after your BBL. Light walking is encouraged early in recovery to promote circulation, but squats, running, or any high-impact activity can disrupt fat cell survival if done too soon. Once cleared by your surgeon, you can gradually reintroduce workouts focused on maintaining your new shape. Most patients resume their full fitness routine around 6–8 weeks post-op with their results safely settled.

While a BBL isn’t designed to treat cellulite directly, many patients notice smoother, firmer-looking skin as a secondary benefit. The added volume from fat transfer can fill in mild skin dimples and improve overall contour. If cellulite or skin laxity is a concern, your surgeon may recommend pairing your BBL with a skin-tightening or collagen-stimulating treatment for enhanced smoothness. The result is a more lifted, youthful appearance from every angle.
