What My Patients Say
Real Patients, Real Transformations
What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a body contouring procedure that enhances the shape and volume of the buttocks using fat transfer instead of implants. Unlike traditional augmentation methods, BBL uses your own fat to sculpt and enhance your figure, providing a natural feel and appearance.
Dr. JC Alvarez specializes in advanced fat grafting techniques to ensure a smooth, lifted, and proportionate result.
The importance of Proportion in BBL
There is a common misconception that Brazilian Butt Lifts always result in exaggerated or unnatural-looking buttocks. However, Dr. Alvarez’s approach focuses on harmony and body proportion. It’s not just about adding volume to the buttocks—it’s about enhancing the overall balance of the figure, defining the waist, hips, and thighs for a more elegant and natural result.
Each patient is different, and Dr. Alvarez customizes the procedure to achieve a proportional and well-balanced look, ensuring that the buttocks appear attractive without artificial exaggeration.

✅ Step 2: Purification – The extracted fat is processed to remove excess fluids and impurities.
✅ Step 3: Fat Transfer – The purified fat is meticulously injected into the buttocks to create a natural, full, and lifted look.
✅ Step 4: Recovery & Compression – Patients wear a compression garment (faja) to optimize healing and contouring.

Everything You Need to Know Before Your Transformation
“Got questions about a Brazilian Butt Lift? From recovery to results, we’re answering the most searched questions so you can feel confident and informed before sculpting your dream body!”
BBL Procedure & Suitability
The amount of fat required varies, but typically, 300-1000cc per buttock is transferred for optimal results.
Yes! Many patients combine BBL with breast augmentation or a lift for a full-body transformation. I do NOT recommend to combine it with a tummy tuck.
A traditional BBL focuses on significant enhancement, while a skinny BBL uses smaller fat transfers to achieve a subtle lift.
Patients with low BMI may need to gain weight or consider alternative procedures to achieve their desired results.
As with any surgery, risks exist, including infection, fat embolism, and asymmetry. Choosing a skilled surgeon minimizes risks.
BBL Recovery & Maintenance
Losing weight may reduce some of the fat volume in the buttocks, so maintaining a stable weight is recommended.
While some fat may reabsorb, the remaining fat cells will establish blood supply and provide long-lasting results.
Patients should avoid sitting or lying directly on their buttocks for at least 3 months and use a BBL pillow when sitting after 4-6 weeks of surgery.
Most patients can return to light activities in about 2 weeks, with full exercise resuming around 6-8 weeks.
Follow your surgeon’s instructions, avoid sitting for long periods, wear compression garments, and maintain a healthy diet.
