During a Brazilian butt lift, excess fat is harvested from areas with undesired fat, such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, through liposuction. The collected fat is then purified and strategically injected into specific areas of the buttocks to augment volume and shape.

The duration of a Brazilian butt lift procedure typically ranges from 2 to 4 hours, depending on the amount of liposuction and fat transfer required. Techniques involve careful fat grafting to sculpt the buttocks, creating a more rounded and lifted appearance.

Following the procedure, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and temporary discomfort at the liposuction and injection sites. A special cushion or pillow may be recommended for sitting during the initial recovery period. Most individuals can resume light activities within a few weeks, gradually returning to more vigorous activities over time. Following post-operative care instructions and attending follow-up appointments are essential for optimal healing and maintaining results.
