Curves Redefined: The Brazilian Butt Lift
Sometimes a small change reshapes everything. A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) uses your own fat to bring out the curves you already have, rounder, lifted, more balanced. It’s about sculpting a shape that feels naturally yours. At Michael Horn Plastic Surgery & Med Spa in Boca Raton, patients choose this procedure to restore fullness, refine proportion, and feel more confident in their skin.
Every Brazilian Butt Lift in Boca Raton starts with precision and an artist’s eye. Dr. Michael A. Horn, a board-certified plastic surgeon, uses advanced fat transfer techniques and a deep understanding of how the body’s lines and curves work together. His approach is careful, never overdone. The goal is balance, a natural result that moves with you, not something that looks sculpted by design. Patients throughout South Florida choose Dr. Horn for his experience, artistic vision, and commitment to safety. At his state-of-the-art Boca Raton facility, all procedures are performed in a fully accredited operating room with the latest technology for optimal healing and comfort.
A Brazilian Butt Lift is a surgical procedure that enhances both the buttocks and surrounding body contours using purified body fat taken from other areas. The treatment involves liposuction to remove fat from regions such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, areas where it’s often unwanted. The extracted fat is processed, purified, and then injected into the buttocks to add volume, improve shape, and create a smoother, more lifted appearance. Because a Brazilian Butt Lift uses your own body fat, the results look and feel natural. This dual benefit, slimming one area while enhancing another, helps create the signature hourglass figure patients love.
A Brazilian Butt Lift doesn’t just add volume, it reshapes the whole silhouette. It’s especially popular among people who’ve lost fullness after weight loss or simply want smoother transitions between waist and hips. Benefits include:
Beyond cosmetic benefits, the BBL procedure can help refine your silhouette and renew your confidence, inside and out.
Good candidates for a Brazilian Butt Lift are individuals who have enough fat in donor areas for fat harvesting and are in good general health. Ideal patients are close to their goal weight and maintain realistic expectations for BBL results. Those with very little body fat may not have sufficient material for fat grafting, while significant excess skin from major weight loss might be better addressed with other body contouring procedures. During your initial consultation, Dr. Horn will review your medical history, assess your anatomy, and determine if you’re a good candidate for this surgical procedure.
Your Brazilian Butt Lift consultation at Michael Horn Plastic Surgery & Med Spa is the first step toward a confident new silhouette. Dr. Horn takes time to understand your aesthetic goals, evaluate potential fat donor sites, and discuss how to achieve your desired shape. Before surgery, patients may need to undergo basic lab work and avoid certain medications that affect bleeding or healing. You’ll receive personalized pre-operative instructions to promote optimal healing. This careful planning ensures a safe, smooth experience and the best possible outcome.
During surgery, Dr. Horn performs liposuction through tiny incisions, gently removing unwanted fat from places like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. Under ultrasound guidance, that fat is purified and carefully layered back into the buttocks to build shape and lift. Each injection is intentional, small amounts placed exactly where they’ll make the biggest visual difference. The result? Smooth curves, subtle projection, and a natural lift. No implants. No stiffness. Just a more balanced figure that still feels like you.
Most patients notice immediate improvement, though swelling and discomfort are normal in the first few weeks. The recovery process is crucial for achieving optimal results. You’ll be given detailed post-operative instructions, including how to wear your compression garment to reduce swelling and support your new contours.
To ensure the transferred fat survives, patients should avoid sitting or lying directly on the buttocks for at least two weeks. Special pillows can ease pressure during recovery. Most patients return to light activity within one to two weeks, but strenuous activity and heavy lifting should be avoided for about six weeks. Any pain or discomfort can be managed with prescription pain medication, and Dr. Horn’s team closely monitors your progress to ensure optimal healing. Once swelling subsides, you’ll see your final BBL results: a shapely, lifted, and proportionate figure that enhances your overall body balance.
How Much Does a Brazilian Butt Lift Cost?
Because every Brazilian Butt Lift is customized, surgery costs vary depending on your anatomy, fat distribution, and the number of body contouring procedures performed. The total fee generally includes the surgeon’s charge, anesthesia, facility costs, and all follow-up care. During your consultation, Dr. Horn’s staff will provide a detailed estimate and review available payment or financing options. While prices vary, most patients view this plastic surgery as a long-term investment in confidence and proportion, one that delivers lasting, natural-looking results.
