Brazilian Butt Lift(BBL) in Los Angeles & Beverly Hills
What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Brazilian Butt Lift(BBL) is a cosmetic surgery enhancing the size and shape of the buttocks through fat transfer. It includes harvesting fats from different body areas through liposuction and injecting it into the buttocks, resulting in a curvier and more excellent proportionate appearance. Ideal for the ones searching for buttock enlargements without implants, a Brazilian Butt Lift gives natural results.
Here’s a closer look at the process:
- Liposuction: During this initial step, a tumescent solution (local anesthesia) is injected into targeted areas like your abdomen, hips, or thighs. This solution helps numb the area and facilitates the fat removal process. A thin surgical cannula (tube) is then inserted, and a specialized suction device gently removes unwanted fat deposits.
- Fat Processing: The harvested fat isn’t directly injected into the buttocks. It undergoes a meticulous processing step to ensure optimal viability for transfer. This process typically involves gentle purification to remove excess fluids and debris, leaving behind healthy fat cells for transfer.
- Fat Transfer & Sculpting: Once processed, the fat is strategically injected into specific areas of your buttocks using blunt cannulas. Dr. Garg will carefully sculpt and reshape the buttocks with the transferred fat to achieve your desired outcome, aiming for a natural-looking, curvier appearance.
Unlike traditional butt augmentation with implants, the BBL offers a significant advantage: natural-looking results. Since the procedure utilizes your own body fat, the final outcome seamlessly integrates with your existing tissues, creating a more organic and harmonious aesthetic.

- In good general health and free from certain medical conditions.
Alternatives to BBL Surgery
While BBL can be a transformative procedure, it’s not suitable for everyone. Individuals with certain medical conditions, unrealistic expectations, or limited body fat may not be ideal candidates. For patients who may not be good candidates for a BBL due to limited body fat or other reasons, alternative options exist:
Buttock Implants: Silicone or saline implants can be surgically inserted to augment buttock size and shape.
Non-Surgical Fillers: Injectable fillers offer a less invasive option for subtle buttock enhancement with temporary results. Sculptra BBL offers results for a longer duration as compared to other injectable fillers.
Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery Cost
The cost of your Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery can vary depending on several factors. We offer a most affordable cost for your BBL procedure. You can learn more about the cost during the consultation.
Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure Consultation
During your initial consultation with Dr. Garg, a Diplomate American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss:
Your desired goals for buttock enhancement
Your medical history to ensure candidacy.
Realistic expectations for the procedure and recovery process.
Pre-Operative Instructions
Prior to your BBL, Dr. Garg will provide detailed instructions to prepare you for the procedure. These may include:
Obtaining medical clearance if required.
Avoiding smoking for a specific period (ask Dr. Garg for details)
Avoiding certain food and medications that can increase bleeding risk.
Understanding BBL Risks
While BBL is generally safe, like any surgery, it carries some potential risks.
· Infection: As with any surgical procedure, there’s a slight risk of infection. Dr. Garg follows strict aseptic protocols to minimize this risk.
Bleeding: Bleeding is a potential risk during and after surgery. Dr. Garg’s experience and meticulous technique help minimize this risk.
Fat Necrosis: In rare cases, some transferred fat cells may die, leading to fat necrosis (formation of hard lumps). Early detection and treatment can minimize complications.
Transient Numbness: Temporary numbness in the buttocks is a common side effect that typically resolves within weeks or months.
Asymmetry: Sometimes slight asymmetry can very rarely occur.
Long-lasting BBL Results: With proper postoperative care, BBL results are usually long-lasting, allowing you to enjoy your enhanced curves for years to come.
BBL Recovery and follow-up Care
Following your BBL, you can expect some temporary side effects like soreness, swelling, and downtime. Proper recovery is crucial for optimal results and includes:
Pain Management: Opioids and Non-Opioids prescribed medication to manage any discomfort.
BBL Pillow: Using a properly designed BBL pillow helps minimize pressure on the buttocks during sleep and sitting. This is to avoid pressure on the newly grafted fat.
Compression Garment: Wearing a compression garment as directed helps reduce swelling and support healing.
Lifestyle Adjustments after BBL for Optimal Results
· Minimize Pressure: Avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for extended periods, especially during the first few weeks. Use a BBL pillow for support when sitting or traveling. Sleeping in the prone position to avoid pressure.
· Activity Restrictions: Avoid strenuous activities like weightlifting or high-impact lower body exercise for at least 6-8 weeks. Light walking, jogging and gentle stretching are encouraged to promote circulation and healing.
· Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle: A balanced normal diet and regular non-strenuous exercise are essential for maintaining your overall health and promoting long-term BBL results.

The BBL Recovery Journey
Following your Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), experiencing some initial soreness and swelling is normal. Recovery typically ranges from a few weeks to 2-4 months, depending on your individual healing process and strict adherence to Dr. Garg’s post-operative instructions. Here’s a general breakdown of what to expect:
The First Week: Expect the first week to be the most challenging, with soreness and swelling. Focus on rest and pain management as prescribed by Dr. Garg.
Weeks 2-4: Swelling and discomfort should gradually improve during this time. Light activity like walking is encouraged, but avoid strenuous exercise, direct pressure on your buttocks, and extended sitting. Dr. Garg will provide specific instructions on gradually increasing your activity level.
Beyond 4 Weeks: With continued healing going on, you can gradually resume most activities, including exercise.
Long-Term Results
With proper care, BBL results can be long-lasting. Maintaining a healthy weight through a balanced diet and regular exercise is vital for preserving your enhanced curves. Loosing significant weight through diet, exercise or medications after BBL is not recommended in order to maintain the BBL results.
