What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

A Brazilian Butt Lift is a fat transfer procedure that enhances the shape, volume, and projection of the buttocks. During the procedure, unwanted fat is gently removed from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs through liposuction. That fat is then purified and meticulously re-injected into the buttocks to create a fuller, lifted appearance.

The result? A more defined waist-to-hip ratio and a curvier, natural-looking figure—customized to your body’s unique proportions.

Why Las Vegas Patients Choose the Brazilian Butt Lift

The BBL is popular for its dual benefits: body slimming in the donor areas and augmentation in the buttocks. Key advantages include:

  • Natural look and feel using your own fat
  • No implants—lower risk of complications or rejection
  • Minimally invasive with small, discreet incisions
  • Enhanced body balance by slimming the waist and enhancing curves
  • Long-lasting results with proper care and weight maintenance

It’s an ideal solution for women looking to create a more hourglass silhouette with soft, realistic results.

Are You a Good Candidate for a BBL in Las Vegas?

You may be an ideal candidate if you:

  • Are in good general health
  • Are at or near your target weight
  • Have adequate fat in areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks
  • Prefer a natural alternative to butt implants
  • Have firm, elastic skin around the buttocks
  • Have realistic expectations about the outcome

During your consultation at our clinic, Dr. David Kahng will evaluate your body type, skin quality, and goals to determine if a Brazilian Butt Lift in Las Vegas is right for you.

Skin Quality and BBL Success

While fat transfer can reshape and add volume, skin elasticity plays a key role in your final result. Patients with significant sagging or poor skin tone may benefit from combining the BBL with skin tightening or a surgical buttock lift.

What to Expect During Recovery

Recovery after a BBL requires diligence to protect the newly transferred fat cells. Most Las Vegas patients can expect:

  • Weeks 1–2: Avoid direct pressure on the buttocks—use a special BBL pillow for sitting
  • Weeks 1–2: Return to light activities or desk work with precautions
  • Up to 6 weeks: Wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and support new contours
  • Week 8+: Gradual return to exercise, avoiding fat-burning cardio early on

Mild swelling and bruising are normal, and final results appear gradually as the fat settles and integrates.

Long-Term Results

You’ll see initial changes right away, but it takes about 3–6 months for the final results to fully develop. On average, 60–80% of the transferred fat survives, leaving lasting enhancement that looks and feels natural.

Your new shape will include:

  • A fuller, rounder buttocks
  • A more sculpted waist
  • Enhanced overall body proportions

Can I Combine a BBL With Other Procedures?

Yes. Many patients choose to combine their Brazilian Butt Lift in Las Vegas with additional procedures for full-body transformation. Popular combinations include:

  • Tummy tuck: Tighten the midsection while enhancing lower body curves
  • Liposuction: Remove fat from additional areas such as the arms or back
  • Breast augmentation or lift: As part of a comprehensive mommy makeover
  • Thigh or arm lift: Especially beneficial after major weight loss

Dr. Kahng will design a safe, tailored surgical plan that aligns with your aesthetic goals and recovery needs.
