What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?
Are you concerned with the size and shape of your buttocks? CG Cosmetic Surgery and its board certified plastic surgeons are here to help with Brazilian butt lift (BBL) surgery in Miami. Augmenting the buttocks is a popular plastic surgery procedure that can assist someone in enhancing the size and shape of their rear end. Women in search of a more curvaceous figure or who are just unhappy with their current look can benefit from this procedure which is different from butt implant surgery. Men and women with a flat-shaped butt can enhance their look with this procedure. The results can help to increase confidence and make people feel more attractive.
Butt implants are not the same as a fat transfer. A Brazilian butt lift, or BBL, uses fat harvested with liposuction from the thighs, back, abdomen, or hips, and transfers that fat to change the shape, size, and projection of the buttocks. The buttocks are a difficult area of the body to shape through exercise, but the shape and size of the buttocks has significant influence on the aesthetics of the torso.
Shapely, round buttocks can make the waist and thighs appear smaller, bring the upper torso into more pleasing proportion, and convey a youthful appearance in general. As such, buttock enhancement surgery is often a viable option for patients who hope to reshape their physique to create a more aesthetically balanced and youthful appearance. The procedure is designed to fill the upper quadrant of your buttocks so that the butt appears lifted and perky. The resulting effect is a more attractive and sensuous appearance overall.
How a BBL Works: Fat Transfer to the Buttocks
The Brazilian butt liftis done by a process called fat grafting. The use of fat grafting has revolutionized butt implant surgery. Fat grafting uses your own tissue instead of an implant. An additional benefit is that in removing fat from the donor site(s) to be used for the grafting, such as the abdomen, the patient also benefits from a liposuction to the donor site.
How Much Does a BBL Cost in Miami?
At CG Cosmetic, our BBL special starts at $4,500 (cash price), and the price includes all fees for the procedure. It does not include the post-surgical compression garment (faja) or post-operative massages. Final pricing depends on your medical evaluation, and candidacy, including a BMI below 31, is confirmed at a consultation.

Is a BBL safe in Miami?
A Brazilian butt lift is major surgery, and it carries a risk that most other body-contouring procedures do not: fat embolism. It can happen when fat is injected too deep, into or below the gluteal muscle, and enters the large veins there. The fat can then travel to the lungs, which can be life-threatening. Deaths after BBL have been reported, which is why Florida regulates how the procedure is performed.
Under Florida Board of Medicine rule 64B8-9.009, fat for gluteal grafting may only be injected into the subcutaneous space and must never cross the gluteal fascia. Intramuscular and submuscular fat injections are prohibited.
At CG Cosmetic, Brazilian butt lifts are performed by our plastic surgeons, including Dr. Decio Carvalho and Dr. Moises Salama, under general anesthesia. Ultrasound guidance is used on every BBL at CG Cosmetic to keep the fat above the muscle.
Questions to ask any surgeon before you book a BBL:
- Will the fat be placed only in the subcutaneous layer, above the muscle, and will ultrasound guidance be used?
- Who will personally remove and inject the fat?
- Where will the surgery take place, and who will administer and monitor the anesthesia?
- How many surgeries does the surgeon perform in one day?
- What is the plan if there is an emergency, and which hospital is nearby?
Other risks, including infection, fat reabsorption, asymmetry, contour irregularities and fluid collections, are reviewed with you at your consultation.
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) Recovery
Following surgery, patients wear a special surgical garment for one to two weeks for comfort and to minimize swelling. Plan on two to three weeks of rest after a BBL, avoiding sitting directly on the buttocks. Strenuous activity is restricted for at least four weeks, and full recovery takes about two to three months as the swelling settles. Your surgeon will tell you when you can return to work and exercise.
Because the procedure involves simply moving fat from another area of the patient's body, it provides the additional body sculpting effect of reducing the fat in areas where it's unwanted. The procedure usually takes about one and a half to two hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Because the donor cells come from the patient's own body, fat injection enhancement carries no risk of the body rejecting the implanted fat cells.
BBL vs. Buttocks Implants: What’s the Difference?
Brazilian Butt Lift shapes the body by removing fat usually from those unwanted areas such as back, abdomen, thighs and hips and the fat cells are transferred to the buttocks area. Butt implants on the other hand are made of silicone or saline implants and inserted into the buttocks.
Can I have Liposuction in other areas along with this procedure?
Yes, additional areas of your body may be eligible for Liposuction along with the Brazilian Butt Lift. Ask one of our surgical care coordinators to learn more about these options.
How much does a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) cost in Miami?
At CG Cosmetic, our BBL special starts at $4,500 (cash price). The price includes all fees for the procedure. It does not include the post-surgical compression garment (faja) or post-operative massages. CG Cosmetic requires a BMI below 31, and candidacy is confirmed at a consultation.
Brazilian Butt Lift costs in the US can range between $6,000 and $9,000. Remember that price should not be the deciding factor when choosing a surgeon: make sure the surgeon has experience performing this procedure, and ask about their training and board certification.
What Results Should I Expect From Brazilian Butt Lift?
Results vary significantly from patient to patient depending on the surgeon, the patient's body and other factors. The body can absorb anywhere from 20% to 95% of the transferred fat. This means that the surgeon will transfer more fat than is actually wanted to compensate for that which will be reabsorbed. That said; fat transfers tend to last longer than other fillers, with results reportedly lasting for years instead of months.
Is there a Weight limit to Qualify for a Brazilian Butt Lift?
The patient would need to have sufficient fat in other areas of the body including abdomen, thighs, back and hips to be removed using liposuction. Overweight patients might have to lose some weight before Brazilian Butt Lift or opt for a different procedure, CG Cosmetic Surgery requires a BMI below 31.
Tips For Post Buttock Lift Surgery Patients
Recommendation for patients who underwent buttock lift surgery:
- Avoid putting weight on the buttocks.
- Lie in a lateral position or get a BBL pillow
- Wear a postoperative compressive garment.
- Strenuous activities should restricted for at least 4 weeks.
What is the difference between implants and fat transfers?
Something to keep in mind when you are deciding between a fat transfer or implants to your buttocks, is what it is you are putting inside. An implant is a foreign object that is being implanted which increases your risks of rejection and infection. A fat transfer is essentially your own fat. Butt implant surgery also take longer to heal.
Does insurance cover Brazilian Butt Lift surgery?

Elective surgeries, such as this or breast augmentation, are not required and, therefore, not paid for by an insurance plan. CG Cosmetic Surgery lists cash prices on its website.
