A curvier backside could be just what you need to enhance your body shape, and a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is the key to achieving that. This cosmetic procedure uses your fat to plump and sculpt your buttocks for beautiful, natural results. If you’re considering a BBL, here’s what you can expect before, during, and after surgery and when you can enjoy the benefits of your new curves.

Voted one of Utah’s top plastic surgeons, Dr. Trenton C. Jones brings over 25 years of experience and precision to every Brazilian Butt Lift procedure, helping patients achieve natural, confidence-boosting curves with minimal discomfort. Born and raised in Utah, Dr. Jones combines his deep surgical expertise with a passion for perfection, ensuring each BBL is handled with care, safety, and attention to detail.

Before BBL Surgery

You’ll begin with a personalized consultation with Dr. Jones, who will assess your body, review your health history, and discuss your goals. You should be in good general health, avoid smoking, and maintain a stable weight before surgery. You may need to avoid certain medications and supplements to reduce bleeding risks.

Pre-operative instructions typically include arranging transportation, filling prescriptions, fasting on the day of surgery, and setting up a comfortable recovery area at home.

During BBL Surgery

The BBL procedure usually takes two to four hours and is performed under general anesthesia. First, using liposuction, Dr. Jones harvests fat from areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or back. The fat is then purified and precisely injected into various points of the buttocks to create a fuller, more contoured shape.

The goal isn’t just size; it’s balance, proportion, and natural-looking results. Once the fat transfer is complete, Dr. Jones closes incisions and has you wear compression garments to support healing.

After BBL Surgery

Recovery from a BBL requires patience and care. Most patients experience swelling, bruising, and soreness for a few weeks. You’ll avoid sitting or lying directly on your buttocks for about two weeks to protect the newly transferred fat.

Wearing compression garments, attending follow-up appointments, and following post-op instructions are crucial for optimal results. Light activity can usually resume after a few days, though you should still refrain from strenuous exercise for at least four to six weeks.
