Brazilian Butt Lift

 

If you’re looking for a way to enhance your natural curves, a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) in Chicago is a perfect choice. The Brazilian butt lift procedure adds volume and shape to your buttocks while contouring other areas of your body. At The Plastic Surgery Clinic of Chicago, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Parit Patel specializes in BBL surgery, delivering natural-looking results tailored to your aesthetic goals.

What Is A Brazilian Butt Lift?

A Brazilian butt lift is a form of buttock augmentation that involves using fat grafting. Fat grafting takes excess fat from other parts of the body. The fat will then be purified and injected into the buttocks to increase the size, fullness, and projection of the buttocks. At The Plastic Surgery Clinic of Chicago, a Brazilian butt lift is becoming an increasingly popular plastic surgery procedure.

Though the name might sound amusing, a Brazilian butt lift is a proper technique to restore proportion and balance between the buttock and other parts of the body. It is a trendy procedure that often results in a robust increase in self-image, confidence, and appearance.

The results are natural-looking and youthful, and the procedure is minimally invasive. Dr. Patel is widely considered by his patients as one of the top surgeons to perform a Brazilian butt lift Chicago residents can rely on.

Are You a Good Candidate for BBL?

To be a good candidate for a Brazilian butt lift, you must have donor sites for excess fat. These sites can be the thighs or abdomen.

A benefit of a Brazilian butt lift, as opposed to buttock implants, is that this procedure does not involve inserting any foreign substances. It uses fat from your own body. If you have any known allergies to implant materials and desire a fuller, rounder buttock, you may be an ideal candidate for a Brazilian butt lift.

What to Expect During Your BBL Consultation

Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience and knowledge is always essential in any plastic surgery procedure. When you schedule a consultation with the Plastic Surgery Clinic of Chicago, you will meet with Dr. Parit Patel.

He is a board-certified plastic surgeon who has performed hundreds of fat-grafting augmentation procedures successfully and safely. His expertise enables him to offer one of the best Chicago Brazilian butt lift surgeries that local residents can depend on.

Your consultation will involve reviewing every step of the process, all the way through recovery. Dr. Patel will review your medical history to determine your eligibility for the procedure.

Be sure to use this opportunity to ask questions, including cost and potential risks associated with buttock augmentation and fat transfer.

HOW IS A BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT PERFORMED?

First, you and Dr. Patel will determine the donor site from which excess fat will be removed. After administering a general anesthetic, Dr. Patel will make a small incision in the donor area and carefully extract fat cells using a cannula and syringe.

If necessary, the extracted fat will be processed using a centrifuge or other filtration technique to isolate the fat cells. The fat cells are then transferred to smaller cannulas and prepared to be injected into the buttocks.

We will repeat the injection process until you achieve your desired results. The newly grafted fat is sometimes massaged into the designated area to create full, natural contours. Finally, a bandage is placed over the grafted area.

It may be necessary to undergo multiple fat grafting sessions to achieve the desired results since the body will absorb some of the injected fat. On average, patients retain between sixty and eighty percent of transferred fat.

BBL Recovery: Timeline and Aftercare Tips

The only incisions resulting from a Brazilian butt lift are located at the donor sites and injection sites. These incisions are typically very small and produce minimal scarring. If possible, Dr. Patel will attempt to conceal the incisions in the natural creases and contours of the body.

Swelling and bruising should go down significantly between the first and second week after the procedure. Be prepared to wait at least seven to ten days before returning to your normal activity level.

The swelling should subside in the third week, and more results should be seen. The results will continue to improve for up to a year, and as long as there are no major fluctuations in weight, they are long-lasting.

BENEFITS OF A BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT

The Brazilian butt lift procedure offers benefits such as natural results, body contouring, minimal scarring, and long-lasting results.

Unlike implants, BBL surgery uses your body’s fat, creating a more natural appearance and texture. The procedure includes liposuction to harvest fat from areas like your abdomen, thighs, or hips, resulting in a slimmer, more sculpted figure.

Since the procedure relies on small incisions for fat transfer, scarring is minimal compared to other surgical methods. With proper care and stable weight, the results of your Brazilian butt lift surgery can last for years.

Many patients also appreciate the dual benefit of removing unwanted fat from one area and enhancing another, creating a harmonious balance.

Risks and Safety Considerations of BBL

Complications from a Brazilian butt lift are very infrequent, but there are associated risks with any surgical procedure, even those that are minimally invasive. Potential risks associated with a Brazilian butt lift may include:

 • Adverse reaction to anesthesia

 • Changes in skin sensation

 • Infection

 • Hematoma (blood clot)

 • Scarring

 • Asymmetry

At the Plastic Surgery Clinic of Chicago, we take every precaution possible to minimize risk by using only the safest and most innovative techniques. You can also mitigate risk by adhering strictly to any instructions Dr. Patel may give you before and after your procedure.

HOW MUCH DOES A BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT COST IN CHICAGO?

The average cost of buttock augmentation in the United States is around $4,500, but this figure varies widely depending on the type of augmentation you choose, the extent of the procedure, and your geographic location.

We will discuss the associated cost of your specific procedure during your consultation. A Brazilian butt lift is considered a cosmetic procedure and therefore is usually not covered by medical insurance.

Why Choose Dr. Patel for Your BBL?

Brazilian Butt Lift FAQs Answered


What happens if I gain weight after a Brazilian Butt Lift?

Weight gain can affect the results of a BBL, as the transferred fat cells may increase in size. Maintaining a stable weight to preserve your desired contours is recommended.

Can I combine a Brazilian Butt Lift with other procedures?

Yes, many patients choose to combine a BBL with other procedures, such as tummy tucks or breast augmentations. During your consultation, Dr. Patel will discuss the feasibility of combining procedures based on your goals and health.

How do I prepare for BBL surgery?

Preparation typically includes maintaining a stable weight, avoiding smoking, and stopping certain medications that could increase surgical risks. Our team will provide instructions matching your medical history and the specifics of your BBL procedure.

What type of anesthesia is used during a Brazilian Butt Lift??

BBL surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia for comfort and safety. Your anesthesiologist and surgical team will monitor you closely throughout the procedure.

What are the restrictions on exercise after a Brazilian Butt Lift?

You should avoid strenuous exercise, especially activities that place pressure on the buttocks, for at least six weeks after surgery. Depending on your recovery progress, you can return to light activities gradually after two weeks.

Schedule Your Brazilian Butt Lift Consultation

If you are unhappy with the size, shape, or fullness of your buttocks, call us at the Plastic Surgery Clinic of Chicago to schedule a consultation. Dr. Parit Patel will recommend the best techniques if your buttocks are asymmetrical or disproportionate to other parts of your body.

During your consultation, Dr. Patel will be able to show you the specific goal of your butt lift surgery. He is a board-certified plastic surgeon who will discuss your aesthetic goals and evaluate if a butt lift is the best course of treatment for you.

All surgical procedures performed by the Plastic Surgery Clinic of Chicago are performed at top Chicago hospitals and CMS or AAAASF-certified surgical centers for safety.

If you’re struggling with back pain, discomfort, bad posture, or many other issues caused by big breasts. I can confidently recommend you to Dr. Dino. He cares so much about what he does and his patients. Not only did he change my life, no LITERALLY, he changed my life. He made my journey so comforting. If I had a concern he was one text away and responded in timely fashion keeping my anxiety levels low. His girls are so sweet, amazing, welcoming, and comforting. I walk into my post op appointments and feel like I’m coming to see some friends. Courtney, Kari, and Heather are just as amazing as Dr. Dino. They are so supportive, I did not feel fearful or alone AT ALL. And his surgical team is just as awesome. They were laughing with me, making conversation, and answering all my questions. I did not feel like I was walking into a major surgery. Finally, my healing journey was great. I was left with all the tools needed to take care of myself. The proper non-narcotic medication, proper wound care, two compressive bras, and a paper with instructions, telling me exactly what to do. I went from bad posture, incapable of working out efficiently, sweating under my breasts as soon as I stepped outside on summer days or went on summer walks sometimes even on days that weren’t too hot and went on walks, and bras that never fit. To a posture I’m working on correcting based off bad habits, bras that fit, feeling so much lighter and free and most importantly the ability to move around and be healthy. I have never been more confident and happy thanks to Dr. Dino and his amazing team.

I cannot stress enough how good of an experience I’ve had with Dr. Patel. This was my first experience having cosmetic surgery and Dr. Patel made me feel comfortable, confident, and informed throughout the entire process. I got a lower blepharoplasty with fat transfer and it has absolutely changed my confidence and my life. His treatment plan was tailored to my anatomy, my age, and exactly what I needed to receive the best results. 10/10 experience, I will be going to Dr. Patel moving forward for any future cosmetic procedures.

Dr. Patel and the staff at PSC were great! I had a septorhinoplasty done about four months ago - the process and recovery was very smooth and I love the results. It looks very natural and I have gotten many compliments. It still feels like me but makes me feel so much more confident in my profile. I really appreciated that Dr. Patel was honest about what was possible and the recovery timeline, rather than promising something that wasn't realistic. And the reception staff are also super nice!

Dr. Patel cared for my son after a hockey puck caused him to break his jaw, and I truly can’t say enough good things about our experience. From the very beginning, he guided us through every step of the surgery and healing process with genuine kindness, patience, and compassion. He took the time to answer our questions and made a stressful situation feel manageable. His staff was equally wonderful—professional, caring, and supportive throughout it all. We are so grateful we chose Dr. Patel as our surgeon and could not be more pleased with the care my son received.

I had a great experience with Dr. Patel. Not only is he highly skilled in his field, but he also has an outstanding personality that makes every visit enjoyable. He’s professional, yet genuinely down to earth and easy to talk to, which makes a big difference as a patient. What really stands out is his character, he’s not just a great doctor, but an honorable and cool person who truly cares. His team is equally impressive: punctual, attentive, and always on top of everything. From start to finish, the entire experience was smooth and reassuring. I highly recommend Dr. Patel and his team to anyone looking for top quality care with a personal touch everyone looks for in a Doc! Thank you for everything! 🤝🏼

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Patel and his entire team. From the initial consultation, the front desk staff was consistently friendly and helpful with any questions I had. The office had great energy & was so clean. My experience with Dr. Patel is that he was very professional, transparent, and confident throughout the entire process. He actually anticipated most of my questions before I could even ask them, which made me feel assured and confident in his care. My surgery and recovery process went as described…. I actually felt better and more energetic than expected afterward. Choosing this procedure & office was the best decision I have ever made for my posture & confidence. I am already feeling more energetic, and I find myself more in love with the results every single day. While this was likely just another routine day at work for Dr. Patel, it has completely changed my life. I’m very grateful to him + his staff for such a positive outcome for something I’ve wanted as long as I could remember. Such a smooth experience from start to finish.

The staff is all phenomenal, and I appreciate how patient and professional Dr. Martin has been. I was looking for a board certified plastic surgeon I could trust and who did amazing work and she fit the bill! If you are in the suburbs of Chicago and looking for any type of plastic surgery… I highly recommend Concierge! I also did my first hydro facial with Bridget last week and was amazed at the results! Next up is Botox with Patrick!

Thank you for changing my life, Dr. Patel. After weight loss, I saw Dr. Patel for skin removal surgery. His clinic was so clean. His staff was so compassionate and professional. My surgery date was only a day ago (10/30) so I’m still swollen but have happy tears every time I look in my mirror. I would choose Dr. Patel again and will be in the future. Can not recommend this practice enough.

I recently underwent a rhinoplasty procedure, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. From my initial consultation to post-operative care, the entire process was handled with professionalism, compassion, and expertise. Dr. Patel took the time to truly understand my goals and carefully explained the realistic outcomes I could expect. His attention to detail and artistic approach gave me complete confidence in his skill. The staff were warm, attentive, and made me feel supported at every step, easing any anxieties I had. Recovery was smoother than I expected, and any discomfort was well-managed. Within weeks, I began to see the transformation—and now, just a short time later, I feel like the best version of myself. My nose looks incredibly natural, harmonizing perfectly with the rest of my features, and the boost in self-confidence is beyond what I imagined. If you’re considering rhinoplasty, I wholeheartedly recommend taking the step. This experience has not only improved my appearance but also positively impacted how I carry myself in daily life. I am so grateful to Dr. Patel and the entire team for helping me achieve this remarkable change.

Dr. Patel is a miracle worker! To quickly summarize, I suffered multiple fractures to the front and side of my left cheek, which also shifted it back. Leaving a dent in the side of my face, and a bump the size of a green pea under my left eye. I naively went to the first recommended surgeon given to me by a local primary doctor. This surgeon had many degrees and had written books. After the surgery, there were no visible difference and it was a failure. I confronted the surgeon who then made a miserable attempt to explain the failure. I left and went directly to the primary who referred me to the surgeon who "botched" the surgery, showing him there was no progress with the surgery and asking him, who else can I go to? He replied, "thats the only surgeon I know." I called everywhere that would appear on Google, made multiple visits to primary doctors for referrals to other plastic surgeons. Ask those offices who would they know, to get, we don't know, as an answer. Or only for them to get back to me at the last moment, after waiting up to 2 weeks, in some cases, to say the surgeon can't do it or they're unsure still about insurance. I would call and their receptionist were oblivious to my issue, and condescending. I knew I had to keep looking, after 3 months, and dealing with constant migraines, a large amount of weight loss and light sensitivity, I saw Dr Patel's website on my Google search results. I thought, how did I miss this? From the moment I started talking to Lauren, the office manager, I was feeling more and more relief. She listened to everything, didn't cut me off or have a condescending attitude like the 30+ doctor offices i had spoken to before. I even caught myself frantically explaining and speaking over her, due to those previous interactions with the office managers and doctors, that I mentioned. She was very calm and knowledgeable. She knew everything right away, and said to get brand new, post botched surgery, CT scans for Dr Patel and then set up an appointment to see him. Within the first 5 seconds of looking at me, Dr. Patel told me and explained using model anatomical parts, what the issue was. (I'd like to add that the first surgeon was looking at my scans from two hospitals and he was bewildered, and gave up after 10 minutes.) I knew right there, Dr Patel was a pro. He said what he believed was most likely wrong, but wanted to look at the scans first. He was exactly correct. We scheduled the surgery, and every single step was thoroughly explained. Surgery day came, and I was taken care of, again, every step of the way. Surgery was a complete success! My issue was complicated, it was several fractures and misaligned bones causing deformation. Dr Patel should be recognized for this surgery. I'm sure it was a new method, and extremely hard to perform. My face was saved because of Dr. Patel. Where all other surgeons in the chicagoland area showed cowardice and incompetence, Dr Patel has set himself above all of them. King of plastic surgery in Chicago. I am happy looking in the mirror, or walking the street and not having to hide my face due to deformity. It's as if i went to sleep and my face reappeared, simply incredible, even possibly better than before. I'm in debt to Dr Patel. Family and friends of mine all want to go to Dr Patel now after seeing the miracle of how he reshaped my face. I've healed in 6 weeks completey and have continued my life. I don't even shake Dr Patel's hand, its too important. Dr Patel, Lauren, Maddie and Diem and all the staff at Plastic Surgery Chicago are truly respectful and caring, if they don't have something or don't know, they'll get it or figure it out fast. Please learn from this, don't waste your time, just come here, get the results, and get on with your life. Don't gamble on your face.
