WHY HAVE A BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT
The shape and proportion of your buttocks are largely influenced by genetics and other factors such as aging. While diet and exercising can help you get a well-toned shape, many people are still unhappy with a flat, square, or sagging derriere. Brazilian butt lift aims to overcome the effects of genetics, weight, loss, and aging by reshaping your buttocks and the surrounding lower body areas.
This procedure is great if you want to:
- Enhance the curviness of your lower body
- Fit your jeans and other clothing more attractively
- Reduce fat in your love handles, belly, or thighs while at the same time adding to the fullness of your buttocks
- Improve the shape of flat or deflated appearing buttocks
- Improve your proportions by enhancing the balance between your lower and upper body
Ideal Candidates for a Brazilian Butt Lift
A Brazilian butt lift is an ideal option for anyone who is looking to enhance the shape and size of their butt. However, certain individuals are better suited for this cosmetic procedure. You are probably a good candidate for Brazilian butt lift if you:
- Want a butt augmentation without using implants
- Have a good skin tone especially in the buttocks and hip areas
- Have adequate stores of fat in other areas
- Are willing to stop sitting on your buttocks for a couple of weeks.
It is also important that you have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the surgery, as well as the recovery process. Keep in mind that the Brazilian butt lift is not the same as a traditional ‘lift’ procedure. Thus, it will not address any loose skin on your buttocks. During the initial consultation, Dr. LaBarbera will examine you and let you know whether you are an ideal candidate for this procedure. This initial visit is also a great opportunity for you to ask all the questions you may have about the procedure, and let your expectations known to the surgeon.
BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT VS BUTT LIFT
One major advantage of the Brazilian butt lift procedure is that it enhances buttock size and shape without the use of implants. When performed by a highly experienced surgeon such as Dr. LaBarbera, this surgery has a very low risk of complications and can accomplish spectacular results.
Patients who are very lean may not have adequate fat stores to receive a Brazilian butt lift. For these, the traditional butt lift (using implants) might be the only option. Buttock implants may be a great approach for some people. However, there are added risks involved (e.g. increased risk for infection and capsular contracture). Buttock implants may also feel and look less natural when compared to the results of a correctly performed Brazilian butt lift surgery.

Surgical Approach
with Dr. Labarbera
The Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is one of the trendiest cosmetic surgery procedures right now. It entails removing fat from parts of the body and transplanting it in the buttocks. The goal is to achieve a flatter stomach, smaller waist, and shapelier butt all in one procedure. In many cases, fat is extracted from the lower back, hips, or the abdomen (and occasionally the upper thighs). Depending on the patient’s stature, shape, and desires, Dr. LaBarbera will determine the best place to harvest the fat. Once collected, this fat is processed and placed in special cannulas, before being injected into the buttocks through small incisions. Surgical skill is important to ensure that the patient gets excellent and longer-lasting results from this procedure. Dr. LaBarbera uses his immense experience to achieve improvements in the entire lower body with a single Brazilian butt lift in Arizona.
During/after Surgery
Brazilian butt lift is usually an outpatient procedure and it is performed under general anesthesia. Typical surgery time is 2-3 hours but this will vary depending on the number of donor sites, as well as the fat layering required. After surgery, Dr. Jude LaBarbera will provide a compression garment to help with swelling, and assist in the contouring of the buttocks. Patients are required to avoid putting weight on their butt area for at least 2-3 weeks. That means sitting or lying down should be done with the weight on the thighs. Dr. Jude will provide post-op care instructions to ensure a speedy and uninterrupted recovery. Many patients are able to see final results within 6-8 weeks.
