What is BBL?
The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) uses your own body fat to enhance the shape, volume, and projection of the buttocks. Fat is harvested via liposuction from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, and thighs, then purified and strategically injected into the buttocks for a natural, sculpted silhouette without implants.
How Does BBL Work?
- 1Video consultation to assess fat donor sites, buttock anatomy, and desired shape
- 2Liposuction is performed under general anaesthesia to harvest fat from the abdomen, flanks, back, or thighs
- 3The harvested fat is purified using a closed filtration system to maximise graft survival
- 4Fat is injected in multiple micro-layers throughout the buttock muscle and subcutaneous tissue for even, natural volume
- 5A compression garment is applied and you are transferred to a private room for post-operative monitoring
Who is a Good Candidate for BBL?
- Patients who want fuller, rounder buttocks with a natural look and feel
- Individuals with enough donor fat in the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or back
- Adults at a stable body weight who are in good general health
- Those who prefer a natural fat-based enhancement over silicone implants
- Non-smokers or patients willing to stop smoking at least 4 weeks before surgery
Why Choose BBL at MedProper?
Dual Benefit
Liposuction slims the donor areas while the fat transfer enhances the buttocks, creating an overall improved body contour.
Natural Look & Feel
Using your own fat means the result feels completely natural with no risk of implant-related complications.
Customisable Shape
The surgeon controls exactly where volume is added, allowing precise sculpting for a round, heart-shaped, or athletic look.
All-Inclusive Package
The €3,325 package covers liposuction, fat transfer, hospital care, hotel, transfers, compression garments, medications, and 12-month aftercare.
What is the Recovery Timeline?
Day 1-2
Hospital & Hotel Transfer
You wear a compression garment and use a special BBL pillow to avoid sitting directly on the buttocks. Moderate soreness and swelling are expected.
Day 3-7
Limited Sitting
Avoid sitting directly on your buttocks — use a BBL pillow when necessary. Light walking is encouraged to promote circulation.
Week 2-3
Gradual Return to Activities
Swelling in the donor and buttock areas decreases. You may sit with the pillow and resume light daily tasks.
Week 4-6
Normal Sitting Resumes
Most patients can sit normally and return to desk work. Compression garment is worn for 6-8 weeks total.
Month 3-6
Final Shape
Approximately 70-80% of transferred fat survives permanently. The final shape and volume become visible as all swelling resolves.

Frequently Asked Questions
Approximately 70-80% of the transferred fat cells survive permanently. The key to a lasting result is avoiding significant weight fluctuations in the first 6 months and maintaining a stable weight long-term.
A minimum BMI of around 23-24 is typically needed to have enough donor fat. During your consultation, the surgeon will assess your available fat and set realistic expectations for volume enhancement.
You should avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for the first 2-3 weeks to protect the newly transferred fat cells. A special BBL pillow is provided for necessary sitting. Most patients resume normal sitting by week 4.
Yes, BBL is commonly combined with abdominoplasty or additional liposuction areas for a comprehensive body contouring result. Your surgeon will advise on safe combinations.
