Brazilian Butt Lift Overview
Brazilian Butt Lift
A round, firm, attractive butt is a desirable body feature – unfortunately not everyone is born with a perfect derrière. The Brazilian butt lift has become a frequently-requested procedure at Princeton Plastic Surgeons, where we use the most advanced techniques to create an attractive shape and size with your own fat cells, with the result of arguably the best Brazilian Butt Lift New Jersey has to offer.
What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
A Brazilian butt lift in New Jersey is an incredible way to reshape the buttocks and resolve any of the following issues:
- Small buttocks
- Flat buttocks
- Saggy buttocks
The procedure involves harvesting healthy fat cells from another area of your body with an excess, such as the abdomen, thighs, or love handles. To keep the fat cells from being damaged, a very gentle form of liposuction is used.
After harvesting, the fat cells are purified and then injected into the upper part of your buttocks to bring volume and lift. The steps in the procedure are as follows:
- You arrive for your Brazilian butt lift, wearing loose, comfortable clothing.
- The area to be treated is prepped.
- Fat cells are gently extracted from a body area with an excess, such as thighs, waist, or upper back.
- The fat is purified.
- Healthy fat cells are carefully injected in multiple layers in the upper portion of the buttocks to provide roundness and a lifting effect.
- You are free to return home to rest and recover.
Surgical Skills Matter in the Final Results of a Brazilian Butt Lift.
The skill with which the entire procedure is performed is a critical point in its success, and we are proud to be the premier provider of this treatment in New Jersey. We inject your natural fat cells in multiple layers to create the round, lovely derriere that will leave you with a more appealing figure – with the added benefit of sculpting the area from which the fat is extracted.
The surgeons at Princeton Plastic Surgeons are highly-skilled plastic surgeons who have reputations for excellence in this procedure – this is important, as the care with which the fat is extracted and injected have everything to do with the success of the procedure.
What Is It Like Getting a Brazilian Butt Lift in New Jersey?
The procedure is not painful to experience, as the area from which the fat is harvested will be numbed, and many patients have intravenous sedation for even greater comfort. This part of the procedure is performed with great delicacy and care, as the goal is to preserve as many of the healthy cells as possible, so they will flourish in the new location.
Relax in Comfort While Your Butt is Enhanced
You will simply lie on a treatment bed while the fat cells are carefully and slowly extracted from your thighs, waist, or upper back – an area of your body that will benefit by being slimmed and trimmed. The next phase involves purifying the fat to remove anything other than the fat cells. Once this is completed, the fat is injected into the upper area of your buttocks, with a specialized technique in layering so that the ultimate enhancement can be achieved.
What is the Recovery from a Brazilian Butt Lift?
You will return home after the procedure but make arrangements for a friend or family member to drive you, as you must not put pressure on the treated area. You should take frequent gentle walks to keep your blood circulating and speed up recovery. You will not suffer great discomfort but will have pain medication to manage it in the first few days. Some swelling and numbness are normal, which resolve quickly.
Am I a Candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift in New Jersey?
To be a good candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift in New Jersey, you need to have sufficient quantities of fat on another body area. For very slim patients who do not have adequate fatty deposits, your butt can be augmented with the use of silicone implants. We perform both procedures and can answer any of your questions about what to expect and show you images of other patients who have undergone the procedure, so you can see the real-world results.
How Do I Care for My Newly Reshaped Buttocks?
As the goal is for as many of the transferred fat cells to become viable in your buttocks, you must avoid pressure on the area, and must sit in a specific way so that they can settle into the new area. We will go over all of your aftercare instructions with you prior to undergoing the treatment so you are fully prepared.
The results are well worth the short time it requires to recover – you will finally have the rounded, lifted butt you wanted – created from cells from your own body, with no risk of rejection. The small incisions where the fat was extracted will heal quickly, and we will provide you with directions on how to care for these areas.
How Long Do the Results of a Brazilian Butt Lift Last?
The fat cells that flourish typically about 60 percent are there for the duration. As long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle and watch your weight, your newly-enhanced buttocks will remain in the rounded, lifted look for the long term.

FAQs
How should I prepare for my BBL?
Preparation includes maintaining a stable weight, stopping smoking, avoiding blood-thinning medications, and arranging for help during recovery. During your consultation at Princeton Plastic Surgeons, we will provide personalized pre-op instructions.
How long does it take to perform a Brazilian Butt Lift?
The procedure typically takes 2 to 4 hours, depending on how much fat is being harvested and transferred. Your surgical plan may vary based on your goals and anatomy.
When will I see the final results?
Initial results are visible within weeks, but it can take 3 to 6 months for swelling to subside and the fat to fully settle. Final contours appear once healing is complete.
Are there any risks associated with Brazilian Butt Lifts?
As with any surgery, risks include infection, bleeding, fat embolism, and asymmetry. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon like those at Princeton Plastic Surgeons greatly reduces these risks through precise technique and safety-focused care.
Can a BBL be performed with any other procedures?
Yes, a BBL is often combined with liposuction, tummy tuck, or breast enhancement procedures to achieve more comprehensive body contouring.
Are BBLs painful?
Most patients experience moderate soreness and swelling in the liposuction and injection areas. Pain is manageable with medication, and discomfort improves significantly after the first week.
Can I sit after getting a Brazilian Butt Lift?
You’ll need to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for at least 2 weeks to allow the transferred fat to stabilize. Special pillows can help reduce pressure during this time.
Will I have noticeable scars?
Scarring is minimal. Tiny incisions are made for fat removal and injection, and they are typically well-hidden and fade over time with proper care.
