The process of harvesting fat from other areas of the body and injecting it into the buttock is known as the “Brazilian Butt Lift” (BBL), or Butt Augmentation. It is a widely popular and requested procedure evident in some celebrities. Data from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons show that there has been a 250% increase in butt lift procedures since the year 2000.
Our practice’s main focus is on safety and realistic expectations yielding optimal outcomes. Unlike butt implants usage for butt augmentation, fat transfer is soft facilitating a natural buttock and appealing contour. A surgical buttock lift is also quite different from a Brazilian butt lift (BBL). A surgical buttock lift involves the removal of excess skin and possibly fat in the buttock area yielding skin tightening over the buttock.

Prior to your procedure, you will need to meet with Dr. Ayim for a consultation. During this consultation in our Houston office, you will need to go over your complete medical history. If you have ever experienced any anesthesia-related sickness, mention this to Dr. Ayim so that anti-nausea medication can be administered before the procedure.
The BBL procedure involves multiple steps. In the first step, the patient is first administered anesthesia. For the transfer of smaller fat volumes, local anesthesia is administered. Dr. Ayim will use liposuction to remove excess fat from the thighs, hips, and/or abdomen. This will involve small incisions and the insertion of a cannula.
In the second step, the removed fat cells are then purified. Any unnecessary materials are separated out, leaving only healthy fat cells for transfer.
Finally, Dr. Ayim injects the purified fat into the buttocks at various depths, resulting in a fuller, rounder look. For the fat transfer process, surgeons typically make around three to five incisions in the buttock region. Incisions are closed using stitches.

From start to finish, I truly enjoyed the services I received. Dr. Ayim and her staff made me feel comfortable in getting my routine check up and discussing my BC options. When I ran into issues in getting the IUD, the medical assistant Lorena, advocated and went above and beyond to make sure I got what I needed. Shout out to the entire office and the incredible work they’re doing! Highly recommend. 😁
After the procedure is completed, you may experience certain minor side effects such as swelling and bruising. These side effects are only temporary and will typically go away on their own as you recover from the procedure.
The risk of bleeding is minimized by the application of a compression garment against the skin’s affected areas. This compression garment must be worn as instructed during the healing process.
For a speedy recovery, follow these directions:
You may have to wait for at least six months before the results of your Brazilian butt lift in Houston become fully visible. Often, more fat than needed is transferred, since the body breaks down and absorbs some of the injected fat after the procedure.
The cost of a Brazilian Butt Lift will depend on several factors. The price can be affected by body type, type of technique performed, surgical complications, and even allergies. Find out more by scheduling a consultation.
