Feeling good also means looking the way you have always wanted.
At COLSURGERIES, we provide support with experience and care to achieve more defined, harmonious, and natural glutes with a safe procedure that enhances your figure using your own body fat.
What is a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?
The Brazilian Butt Lift, known as BBL, is a surgical procedure that uses your own body fat to increase the volume, projection, and shape of the glutes.
It consists of extracting fat from areas such as the abdomen, back, or thighs through liposuction, then purifying it and strategically injecting it into the glutes, achieving a firmer, more natural, and harmonious result.
This procedure not only enhances the gluteal area but also improves the entire body contour, as it shapes other areas of the body by aesthetically redistributing the fat.
How is it performed?
It is performed in an authorized operating room under general anesthesia and lasts between 2 and 4 hours. The procedure has three main phases:
Fat Extraction
Liposuction is performed on areas such as the abdomen, waist, lower back, or thighs, carefully and safely extracting the fat.
Fat Purification
The viable fat is separated from impurities (blood, anesthetic fluid, oil). This can be done by:
Centrifugation (Coleman method) or Filters or decanting syringes
Strategic Re-injection
It is strategically injected into the glutes to achieve natural volume, projection, and shape.
The technique aims to enhance the silhouette without the use of implants, shaping not only the glutes but also the entire body contour.
At COLSURGERIES, this procedure is performed by certified plastic surgeons, with advanced technology and protocols that guarantee safety, harmony, and lasting results.
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) – Recovery
BBL recovery is progressive and requires specific care. It is normal to experience swelling, sensitivity, and mild discomfort in the treated areas during the first few days. Most patients can resume light daily activities between 10 and 14 days, avoiding sitting directly on the glutes during the first few weeks.
The results are noticeable from the beginning, but they become consolidated between 8 and 12 weeks, when the swelling subsides and the grafted fat naturally integrates into the body.
At COLSURGERIES, we support you at every stage, with medical follow-up during your stay in Colombia and virtual assistance after your return, ensuring a safe recovery and harmonious, lasting results.
