Brazilian Butt Lift Miami – BBL

At Elite Plastic Surgery, we want you to feel confident and prepared for your Brazilian Butt Lift journey. Here’s what you can expect throughout your surgical experience.

Preparation for Your BBL:

• Avoid smoking and alcohol at least two weeks prior to your procedure.
• Maintain a healthy diet and stay hydrated.
• Arrange for a trusted friend, family member or care-giver to assist you post-surgery.
• Follow any pre-surgery instructions provided during your consultation.

What to Expect During the Procedure:

• The procedure involves 360 liposuction to harvest fat from your abdomen, flanks, and back.
• The extracted fat is purified and strategically injected into your buttocks to create the desired shape.
• Dr. Salama prioritizes your safety, using advanced techniques to ensure optimal results.

Post-Operative Recovery:

• Most patients can return to light activities within 7–10 days.
• You will need to wear a compression garment to minimize swelling and support healing.
• Avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for at least six weeks—use a special pillow if sitting is necessary.
• Full results become visible after 3–6 months, as swelling subsides and the fat stabilizes

A Brazilian Butt Lift is a great option if you:

• Want a fuller, more lifted appearance for your buttocks
• Have areas of excess fat that can be used for transfer
• Are in good overall health with realistic expectations
• Prefer natural enhancement without implants

That said, not everyone is an ideal candidate for fat transfer. To achieve safe and lasting results, patients must have enough extra fat available for liposuction. Individuals who are very thin may not have sufficient fat to perform the procedure.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the best candidates for a BBL are:

• Patients with loose or soft tissue in the buttocks that can be reshaped
• Healthy individuals without medical conditions that could interfere with healing
• Patients with realistic goals and a clear understanding of what the surgery can achieve
• Those who maintain a healthy lifestyle with proper diet and exercise
• Nonsmokers or individuals willing to quit smoking before and after surgery

During your consultation, Dr. Moises Salama will carefully evaluate your goals, health, and body type to determine if a Brazilian Butt Lift is right for you.

Choosing a BBL can do much more than add volume to your buttocks. The procedure delivers a complete body contouring transformation:

• Natural-looking results with your own fat. Because the enhancement comes from your own tissue, the outcome feels soft and authentic — not artificial.
• Slimmer waistline and sculpted curves. By removing fat from the abdomen, back, flanks, or thighs, you’ll see a dramatic difference in body balance.
• Long-lasting outcome. The fat cells that establish blood supply in their new location are permanent, giving you results that can last for years with a stable weight.
• Minimal scarring. Only small incisions are required for liposuction and injection, leaving little to no visible scars.
• No implants, no foreign materials. Unlike gluteal implants, there’s no risk of shifting, rippling, or rejection.
• Improved confidence and self-image. A rounder, more youthful shape can help you feel more comfortable in clothing, swimsuits, and in your own skin.

While a Brazilian Butt Lift is safe when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon, it does carry risks, like all surgeries. Potential complications include fat reabsorption, contour irregularities, infection, bleeding, or asymmetry.

At Elite Plastic Surgery, Dr. Salama follows the highest safety protocols to minimize risks:

• Ultrasound-guided fat grafting to ensure precise placement of fat.
• Fat injection only above the muscle, never into or below, reducing the risk of serious complications.
• Accredited, state-certified surgical facility with advanced monitoring equipment.
• Board-certified plastic surgeon with years of experience in body contouring.

Your health and safety always come first, and every step is taken to protect you while delivering beautiful results.

The cost of a Brazilian Butt Lift in Miami typically ranges from $5,000 to $8,000. On average, a BBL performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon in Florida costs about $7,000, based on thousands of reviews on RealSelf.

Because liposuction and fat transfer techniques continue to advance, BBL pricing may increase over time. It’s also important to remember that your budget can directly impact your results. Factors such as your surgeon’s training and experience, the location of the practice, anesthesia and operating room fees, and the overall complexity of your procedure all play a role in the final cost.

At Elite Plastic Surgery, we provide each patient with a personalized quote during their consultation. This ensures you know exactly what’s included—such as surgeon’s fees, anesthesia costs, operating room expenses, and post-operative care—before moving forward.

We also offer special promotions and flexible financing options to make achieving your goals more accessible. Speak with our team to explore payment plans and find the option that’s right for you.

More often, patients choose a Brazilian Butt Lift instead of butt implants because of the natural look and feel fat transfer provides. With a BBL, there is no risk of complications from suture ruptures, implant exposure and infection as with butt implants. Scarring and discomfort is also minimal in comparison. Plus, you get the added bonus of improved body contour in the areas where the fat was harvested with liposuction. Not to mention, the intangible benefits like increased self-confidence.

After surgery, patients are instructed to avoid sitting directly on their buttocks, or laying on their side or back, for at least six weeks. This is so that the transferred fat cells (from the fat injected into the buttocks) do not die from pressure placed on the surgical area, thereby making you lose volume. This task is not as difficult as it sounds. There are many products on the market that patients can use to comfortably recover. Most patients purchase a BBL pillow or boppy pillow to help them sit and sleep. These products help to cushion the areas around your buttocks, such as the thighs, in order to keep your buttocks elevated or “floating” and not touching any surface. Think of a rolled-up towel placed underneath your thighs as you sit. Your buttocks is hanging in the air without touching the seat. The weight is kept off it. This is the same effect you’ll get.

For any plastic surgery, there is a Body Mass Index (BMI) requirement to determine eligibility for surgery. The BMI is a measurement of your weight divided by your height to determine if your weight is healthy enough to undergo surgery. At Elite Plastic Surgery, the max BMI limit for the Brazilian Butt Lift is 35. Meaning, in order to be considered a candidate by Dr. Salama, you’ll need to be under a BMI of 35.
