Full, round buttocks are symbols of youth and beauty in today’s society, and they attract a great deal of social and mainstream media attention. While a shapely backside is a desire of many, not every woman is gifted with one naturally. If you are unhappy with the shape, size, or appearance of your buttocks, a Brazilian Butt Lift may be the right procedure for you.

Board Certified Female Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Beverly Friedlander
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) improves the shape of your derrière by creating rounder, sexier “cheeks”. This surgical buttock lift uses your fat, rather than implants, to restore the natural-looking fullness you desire. For women in NJ who do not desire a full BBL, New Jersey plastic surgeon, Dr. Friedlander, offers variations of the procedure that result in an improved shape without a change in size.

If you have lost the roundness of your backside after age or pregnancy, or if genetics never allowed you to have it, the Brazilian Butt Lift may be appropriate for you. This surgery permits the removal of fat from areas of natural fullness, such as the abdomen, hips, waist, and thighs, and transfers it into the buttocks to add fullness and shape. You get the added bonus of improving the shape of your midsection at the same time as smoothing and rounding out your buttocks. While this procedure is often performed on younger women looking to augment their butt, it can be performed at any age.
If you do not have enough fat to augment the butt, a mini butt lift may still be appropriate, as this technique improves the shape of your buttock but does not require the transfer of fat.
Most women consider Brazilian Butt Lift surgery to:

The Brazilian Butt Lift utilizes your own fat to sculpt and restore fullness to the buttocks. This procedure results in improved aesthetics of your butt and all areas from which fat has been harvested, creating a thinner flatter abdomen, improved waistline and of course, shapelier and fuller buttocks.

The modified butt lift is ideal for women who wish to reshape the buttocks but do not want to increase the size of the butt significantly. This technique is similar to a full butt lift, but uses less fat. In this procedure, Dr. Bev still contours your midsection to create a shapelier figure, but she strategically layers the fat in areas of deficiency to smooth and round out your buttocks without making them bigger.
To perform a Modified Butt Lift:

The mini butt lift is a technique also performed by Dr. Friedlander. This option is ideal for patients who want to reshape their buttocks but cannot commit to the recovery period of a traditional BBL or do not have adequate fat to augment the butt. With this technique, Dr. Friedlander enhances your butt’s shape while defining the waist, hips, and surrounding areas.
To perform a Mini Butt Lift:
The Brazilian Butt Lift can be performed as a standalone procedure to achieve slimmer contours and a shapelier butt, or it can be combined with an additional body contouring treatment that removes excess skin or augments the breasts. Common combination procedures include:
A full, modified, or mini Brazilian Butt Lift procedure can be performed. Dr. Friedlander observes her patients overnight after a full butt lift, but the modified butt lift and mini butt lift are outpatient procedures, allowing you to return home to start your recovery as soon as the anesthesia wears off. Recovery times vary significantly based on where the fat was harvested from and any procedures performed in conjunction with your Brazilian Butt Lift and liposuction.
Most patients require one to three weeks off from work and six to eight weeks away from strenuous exercise. While every patient responds to the procedure differently, it is common to experience bruising, swelling, and numbness, which improve over time. To aid your recovery, Dr. Friedlander recommends drinking plenty of fluids and focusing on a well-balanced diet. Dr. Friedlander will provide you with a compression garment that will help mold the buttocks, promote circulation, and reduce swelling. Since the fat was transferred to your buttocks (and the transferred fat is delicate), you will not be able to sit or lay directly on your butt for the first two weeks, except to use the toilet. After that, you should limit your “sitting time” to half-hour increments, with long breaks in between. To help you manage this, Dr. Friedlander and her staff have put together a variety of ways to reduce pressure on your buttocks.

Your safety throughout your surgical procedure and recovery is Dr. Friedlander’s highest priority. She will do everything in her power to ensure your safety, including reviewing your medical history to determine any factors that may increase your risk. Unfortunately, even with the utmost care, some risk is present. These risks are heightened in those with pre-existing conditions, such as high blood pressure or a history of smoking. While complications are rare, they can include:
You can reduce your chances of experiencing these complications by following all of Dr. Friedlander’s recommendations before and after BBL surgery.
While you will notice the immediate improvement in your buttock shape and the smoothness of the areas fat was harvested, it will take time for all of the swelling to disappear and for the transferred fat to settle.
It is not expected that all of the new fat in your buttocks will survive. There can be a loss of 20 to 50 percent of the transferred fat as the buttocks heal. Your butt may initially feel firmer or lumpier than the surrounding areas, but as the healing progresses, this will improve, revealing your softer, shapelier contours. A great deal of your recovery will occur in the first few weeks after your surgery; however, as the healing continues, you can see improvements in shape of your new buttock for up to one year.
