Brazilian Butt Lift
Minimally invasive procedure
Even with vigorous exercise, achieving a sculpted and voluptuous butt can be nearly impossible. Through a Brazilian Butt Lift with Dr. Alejandro Leal, an expert in body contouring and renowned for his expertise in liposuction and fat grafting techniques to sculpt the body, you can achieve the sculpted body you’ve always desired, giving you a more athletic appearance and boosting your confidence.
What is a
Brazilian
Butt Lift (BBL)?
The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a cosmetic surgery that can reshape your body by sculpting fuller, rounder, and more aesthetically pleasing buttocks. Genetics determine your body shape, but you may want to change your appearance. Diet and exercise can definitely help, but they may not be enough to change your overall shape. If you’re looking for options to reshape your silhouette, a BBL might provide the results you desire.
- BBL essentially removes unwanted or excess fat from one area of your body and places it in another area where you want more volume. BBL can also provide more natural-looking results compared to buttock implants.
- A Brazilian Butt Lift is different from a surgical butt lift, which is a procedure to remove loose skin and reposition sagging tissue to restore a more lifted, youthful appearance. BBL cannot correct significant skin laxity. Instead, a BBL adds volume to enhance projection, shape, and tone.
- This procedure is highly sought after at Dr. Alejandro's practice in Guadalajara. Every patient has personal aesthetic goals for their BBL, and our exclusive Liposser surgeon has the experience, skill, and artistic sense to achieve the desired look, obtaining a more sensual, curvy, firm physique with better volume, shape, and balance for a more athletic appearance.
- Dr. Alejandro has found that the best results for patients typically require a multifaceted approach, which is why he offers highly personalized combined treatment plans to sculpt the body.
- Depending on your anatomy, body type, skin quality, desired proportions, and aesthetic concerns, Dr. Alejandro will develop a specific protocol to refresh, reshape, and enhance your appearance.
- To ensure an optimal buttock contour, he may recommend combining your BBL with a skin-tightening procedure such as K Blue Laser or BodyTite from the InMode platform to tighten loose or sagging skin in the buttock area. These internal heating devices provide controlled heat beneath the skin, causing the skin to contract. The heat also stimulates increased collagen production, helping to keep your skin healthy and youthful over the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to Know if You Are a Candidate for a BBL?
If you are interested in exploring your options for sculpting a more attractive, firmer, and fuller buttock contour, the first step is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Alejandro Leal. During the consultation, he will review your medical history, your goals for buttock augmentation, and evaluate your skin, tissue, and structure to determine if BBL is the right approach for you.
In general, ideal candidates for a Brazilian Butt Lift:
- Have tried exercise and diet to shape and enhance their buttocks, but the area still appears flat, saggy, and disproportionate.
- Maintain a stable and healthy weight.
- Have good skin elasticity in the buttock and hip areas.
- Have enough excess fat to harvest from other areas of the body.
- Are free from any medical condition that could interfere with the healing process.
- Do not smoke or are willing to quit smoking as instructed by the surgeon.
- Are committed to following all pre- and post-procedure instructions provided by Dr. Alejandro.
What is the surgical procedure like?
Most BBL procedures take about three to four hours. You will be under light sedation during the procedure, meaning general anesthesia is not used. Sedation is administered via an IV along with an epidural block so that you won’t feel any pain during the procedure. With this type of sedation, your anxiety is calmed, and while you will be asleep, you will still be able to respond if the doctors ask you something.
Your surgeon will use liposuction to remove fat from your abdomen, hips, lower back, or thighs. The surgeon will then make incisions in the buttocks. Through these incisions, the collected fat cells are injected into the superficial fat layer of the buttocks. The surgeon will then close the incisions and may insert surgical drains. These drains may need to stay in place for a few days after surgery.
What is postoperative recovery like?
To ensure the ideal result, Dr. Alejandro Leal will provide instructions for a postoperative regimen designed to support the healing process and ensure you get the most out of your procedure.
You will need to wear a special compression garment designed to apply continuous pressure to the area to prevent skin irregularities from forming. Dr. Alejandro will also recommend postoperative rehabilitation treatment for several consecutive days at our Liposser facilities.
You will need to rest at home for at least 15 days and carefully follow all the surgeon’s guidelines during your recovery. During this period, you will need to avoid sitting or lying on your back to prevent damaging the fat and compromising your results.
In most cases, you can return to work and many of your normal daily activities after 2 weeks. Dr. Alejandro will provide personalized guidance during your follow-up appointments to help you gradually and safely increase your activity levels.
When will the results of the BBL be noticeable?
The changes in the shape and size of your buttocks will be noticeable immediately. As the area heals over the following weeks, you will see continuous improvements. It can take up to 6 – 8 months to see the final results, depending on your body’s healing process.
The BBL makes a significant difference in the appearance of your buttocks, and these satisfying results are long-lasting. However, it’s important to commit to maintaining a balanced, healthy diet and staying active with regular exercise to maintain the results of the procedure.
State-of-the-art technologies we use at Liposser:
PAL Microaire: The PAL (power-assisted liposuction) system uses very fine cannulas that, with an oscillating motion, pass through adipose tissue, vibrating the tissues and extracting fat with great precision in less surgery time, also allowing for fat grafting (liposculpture).
K Blue Laser: The world’s first blue laser, with 3 simultaneous wavelengths, provides 50% skin tightening, muscle definition, and blood vessel sealing, which reduces inflammation with a significant analgesic effect, resulting in fewer bruises and a more comfortable postoperative experience.
BODYTITE AND MORPHEUS8 BODY: This technology uses fractionated radiofrequency energy for lipolysis and maximum skin tightening of up to 90%, with muscle definition for a sculpted body. It offers painless postoperative recovery and is ideal for patients with moderate to severe skin laxity who want to avoid incisions. Recommended for patients aged 35 and older.
