What is a BBL?
The BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) augments and shapes the buttocks using the patient’s own fat. First, liposuction sculpts the waist, back and hips; that fat is purified and re-injected into the buttocks to add natural-looking volume and projection. Because it uses the patient’s own tissue, it usually needs no implants.
Safety first
The BBL demands rigorous technique: fat is placed in the subcutaneous plane —never inside the muscle— with cannulas and maneuvers that reduce risk. In this procedure safety outranks volume: the goal is a beautiful and, above all, safe result. Results may vary.
- Grafting in the subcutaneous plane, not intramuscular
- Contouring liposuction (waist, back, hips)
- Volume defined by safety and anatomy
Who is a good candidate?
People with enough donor fat, stable weight, good health and realistic expectations. The consultation defines whether a BBL is the best option or another technique is preferable.
Recovery · step by step
- Weeks 1–3No sitting directly on the buttocks; a special cushion is used. Compression garment.
- Week 2Light activity; sitting and sleeping precautions continue.
- Weeks 4–6Progressive return; part of the grafted fat is naturally reabsorbed.
- Months 3–6Volume stabilizes and the definitive contour appears.
Frequently asked questions
Is a BBL safe?
Performed with proper technique —grafting in the subcutaneous plane, not the muscle— risk is significantly reduced. The consultation prioritizes each patient’s safety over volume.
How long does the result last?
Part of the grafted fat is reabsorbed in the first months; the fat that remains is stable long term if weight is maintained. Results may vary.
When can I sit normally?
Avoiding direct pressure on the buttocks for about 2–3 weeks, using a special cushion, is advised to protect the grafted fat.
How much does a BBL cost in Puebla?
Cost is defined at the consultation, as it depends on the liposuction areas and the graft. A clear quote is provided.
