For many patients, it isn’t simply about having a larger buttocks — it’s about creating balance in the body.
Some feel their waist looks straight rather than defined. Others feel their hips appear flat or their curves don’t reflect how they want to look in clothing. A Brazilian Butt Lift reshapes the waist, hips, and buttocks together to create curves that look natural and proportionate.
At Ciao Bella Cosmetic Surgery, the goal of a Brazilian Butt Lift in Phoenix is not just volume. It’s about sculpting the entire silhouette so the body looks balanced from every angle.
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a cosmetic fat transfer procedure that enhances the size and shape of the buttocks using fat removed from other areas of the body through liposuction. The fat is purified and carefully injected into the buttocks to create fuller curves while improving body contour.
One of the reasons the Brazilian Butt Lift has become one of the most requested body contouring procedures is that it improves multiple areas of the body at the same time.
Uses your own fat to create soft, natural-looking curves that move with your body.
Removes fat from areas like the abdomen and flanks to create a slimmer, more defined midsection.
Refine the waist-to-hip ratio to create smoother, more proportional curves.
Allows transferred fat to integrate with your body for results that can be maintained over time.
A Brazilian Butt Lift works best for patients who want fuller curves while improving body contour.
Many patients choose to combine a BBL with other body procedures such as a tummy tuck or a mommy makeover to address multiple areas of the body.
A consultation allows your surgeon to evaluate your anatomy and determine whether a BBL or another body contouring procedure will best achieve your goals.
A Brazilian Butt Lift combines liposuction and fat grafting to reshape the body.
Fat is gently removed from areas such as the abdomen, waist, lower back, or thighs. This step alone can significantly improve body contour.
The harvested fat is purified to isolate healthy fat cells for transfer.
The purified fat is injected into specific areas of the buttocks to enhance projection and create smooth curves.
Fat is placed in layers so the results look natural rather than overfilled.
Recovery from a Brazilian Butt Lift occurs gradually as swelling improves and transferred fat stabilizes.
Patients experience swelling and bruising and must avoid sitting directly on the buttocks.
Many patients return to work and light activity. Sitting may be allowed with a special cushion.
Swelling continues to decrease and the final contour becomes more visible. Most patients begin seeing their full results within three to six months.
One of the advantages of a Brazilian Butt Lift is the longevity of results.
Typically, about 60–80% of transferred fat survives and becomes a permanent part of the buttocks.
Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve results long-term.

Patients usually avoid sitting directly on the buttocks for two to three weeks to protect the transferred fat.
Because the procedure uses your own fat, the results tend to feel soft and natural while enhancing the body’s natural curves.
The amount varies depending on the patient’s body type and goals. Your surgeon will evaluate donor areas and determine how much fat can safely be transferred.
