With a Brazilian butt lift, fat is extracted via liposuction from a donor area such as the hips, thighs or belly and then is purified and injected into the rear end, creating a more rounded and feminine aesthetic. BBL has the added benefit of slimming and sculpting the donor areas while accomplishing its primary function of enhancing the back side. Butt augmentation with solid silicone implants can be performed in those individuals who lack sufficient donor fat for BBL. An implant procedure will carry with it greater risks, longer downtimes and of course scarring.
