Orange County Brazilian Butt Lift

A fuller, rounder, and more youthful-looking backside is a top aesthetic goal for many women today. At Cara Plastic Surgery in Orange County, Dr. David Kahng offers the Brazilian Butt Lift—a natural and minimally invasive solution that enhances your curves using your own body fat.

What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a fat transfer procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and projection of the buttocks. Using gentle liposuction, fat is removed from areas like the abdomen, flanks, hips, or thighs. That fat is then purified and carefully injected into the buttocks to create a fuller, lifted, and more sculpted appearance—all without the use of implants. The result is a naturally enhanced figure with improved proportions and curves.

Benefits of a Brazilian Butt Lift

Patients across Orange County choose the Brazilian Butt Lift for its versatility, natural-looking results, and dual-body contouring benefits. Key advantages include:

Minimally invasive: Uses small incisions and your own fat, reducing the risk of rejection or complications associated with implants.
Natural appearance and feel: The transferred fat integrates with existing tissue for smooth, soft results.
Dual enhancement: Targeted liposuction slims areas like the waist or thighs while enhancing the buttocks.
Improved proportions: Helps achieve the desirable hourglass figure.
Long-lasting results: With proper care, results can last for years.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift?

Ideal candidates for a Brazilian Butt Lift in Orange County are:

In good overall health
At or near their ideal weight
Have sufficient fat in donor areas
Want a fuller, lifted buttocks without implants
Have good skin tone and elasticity in the buttock area
Have realistic expectations

A consultation with Dr. Kahng includes a full evaluation of your goals, skin quality, and available donor fat to determine if a BBL is right for you.

Skin Quality Considerations

For optimal results, the skin on and around the buttocks should be firm and elastic. If significant skin laxity is present, fat transfer alone may not achieve the desired outcome. In these cases, a skin tightening procedure or surgical lift may be recommended in combination with or instead of a BBL.

What to Expect During Recovery

Recovery after a Brazilian Butt Lift requires attention to detail to ensure fat survival and optimal results. Here’s what most patients can expect:

First 2 weeks: No sitting or lying directly on your buttocks. A specialized pillow may be used when seated.
1–2 weeks: Many return to light activities or work using precautions.
6 weeks: Compression garments are worn to minimize swelling and support new contours.
8 weeks: Most exercise can be resumed, but avoid fat-burning workouts early on to protect the transferred fat.

Swelling is normal in the early stages. Full results will develop gradually over a few months as your body adjusts and the fat cells stabilize.

Expected Results

Results are visible immediately, but final shaping and volume become clear after several months. Around 60–80% of the transferred fat typically survives, leading to long-lasting results that look and feel natural.

Once healed, your figure will have improved curves, a more defined waist-to-hip ratio, and better body proportions—all without synthetic implants.

Can I Combine a BBL With Other Procedures?

Yes, a BBL can be safely combined with other cosmetic procedures. One of the most popular combinations is the BBL with a tummy tuck, which helps to tighten the abdomen while enhancing the shape of the hips and buttocks.

Other possible combinations include:

Liposuction in additional areas for further body contouring
Breast augmentation or lift as part of a mommy makeover
Thigh lift or arm contouring for patients following weight loss

Dr. Kahng will design a comprehensive surgical plan to help you achieve balanced, harmonious results across your entire figure.
