BBL | Brazilian Butt Lift
Transform your silhouette with a Brazilian Butt Lift at Aesthetic Plastic Surgery & Laser Center in Michigan. This innovative procedure, often referred to as a BBL, enhances the size and shape of the buttocks using your body’s own fat. By utilizing excess fat from other areas, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, the procedure not only adds volume to the buttocks but also contours the entire body, creating a balanced and harmonious figure. Under the experienced hand of Dr. Michelle Hardaway, a renowned board-certified plastic surgeon, your Brazilian Butt Lift can help you achieve your aesthetic goals and boost your confidence.
Why Choose Aesthetic Plastic Surgery & Laser Center for Brazilian Butt Lift

Aesthetic Plastic Surgery & Laser Center provides Customized Brazilian Butt Lift Options
At Aesthetic Plastic Surgery & Laser Center, we offer a range of Brazilian Butt Lift options, as well as several body contouring procedures, to cater to different aesthetic goals. Whether you seek subtle enhancement or a more dramatic transformation, Dr. Hardaway can customize your procedure to meet your needs.
The process begins with a detailed consultation to assess your goals and determine the best approach. By harvesting fat from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks through liposuction, Dr. Hardaway sculpts the perfect silhouette for you.
Information on the Procedure: Gluteal Augmentation Explained
Dr. Hardaway provides expert gluteal augmentation using advanced techniques that prioritize safety and effectiveness. The procedure involves several key steps to ensure optimal outcomes. Firstly, excess fat is harvested from predetermined donor sites on your body using liposuction. This fat is then carefully purified to separate it from any impurities or non-fat components. Once prepared, the fat is strategically injected into the buttocks to achieve the desired volume and shape. Unlike implants, this method uses your body’s own fat, reducing the risk of rejection and ensuring a more natural feel and appearance. The result is a fuller, more contoured buttock area that complements your overall body shape.
Benefits of Brazilian Butt Lift: Enhanced Body Contouring
As other cosmetic procedures, a Brazilian Butt Lift can be life-changing, offering other benefits beyond a new appearance. Patients often report increased satisfaction with their body image and a boost in self-esteem following their BBL procedure. For those struggling with body confidence, a BBL can be a game-changer.
On the other hand, the BBL has numerous advantages compared to other procedures. For one, it will help to achieve a more sculpted and aesthetically pleasing figure, as it also involves removing extra fat from other areas. This dual benefit of fat removal and addition results in a smooth and natural-looking body, ultimately improving overall self-image and confidence.
Considerations for Potential Candidates: Is This Cosmetic Procedure Right for You?
A Brazilian Butt Lift is ideal for individuals seeking to enhance their buttocks’ size and shape without implants. Candidates should have enough excess fat in other areas for successful fat transfer and be in good overall health. During your personalized consultation, Dr. Hardaway will evaluate your candidacy for the procedure, taking into account factors such as your medical history, current health status, and aesthetic goals.
She will also discuss potential risks and complications, including the possibility of a second procedure if the initial results do not achieve the desired effect due to natural fat absorption. Understanding these considerations is crucial for making an informed decision about undergoing a BBL.

Recovery Process: What to Expect After Your Brazilian Butt Lift
As any other cosmetic procedure, we encourage patients to take the necessary time to ensure an optimal recovery process. In that regard, it is important to understand every step of the healing stages.
After the procedure, patients are fitted with a compression garment that helps the skin adapt to its new contour. This garment is crucial for minimizing swelling and supporting the newly transferred fat. Patients are usually able to return to work about two weeks following surgery, although some swelling may be noticeable for several months.
It is important to follow Dr. Hardaway’s post-operative care instructions carefully to ensure optimal healing and results. This includes avoiding sitting directly on the buttocks for an extended period and sleeping on your stomach or sides to protect the newly grafted fat.
Risks and Complications: Ensuring a Safe Procedure
As with any surgical procedure, a Brazilian Butt Lift carries certain risks and potential complications. Dr. Hardaway takes every precaution to minimize these risks, ensuring a safe and successful outcome. During your consultation, she will discuss these potential risks, which can include fat embolism, infection, and asymmetry, among others. By choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Hardaway, you are ensuring that your procedure is performed with the highest standards of safety and expertise. Our facility is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and adheres to rigorous safety protocols, providing you with peace of mind throughout your surgical journey.

BBL FAQ’s
What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Factors such as sun damage, aging, significant weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and some genetic factors can contribute to loose or dimpled skin on the buttocks or thighs. If you are looking to correct loose skin on the buttocks and thighs, a lower body lift, or a buttock lift could be a better procedure for you. A butt lift can be performed on its own, or in combination with other procedures, such as a full body lift. This procedure can help lift loose skin on the butt, and can be combined with fat grafting, or fat transfer, depending on the needs of the patient. It is not intended to add volume to the butt, or removed excess fat. Liposuction can be done on other parts of the body in conjunction with this procedure, to improve the overall contour of the body. Dr. Hardaway performs all of these services at her AAAASF certified surgical suite.
What are Buttock Implants?
Buttock implants are not a BBL. Butt implants are silicone implants, inserted surgically into the buttock tissue to change or improve the appearance of the butt. However, buttock implants have their own risks. There is a higher risk of infection and capsular contraction with implants than with a BBL. Implants can have the possibility of looking less natural than a BBL or butt augmentation.
How Much Does a BBL Cost?
The cost of the surgery varies depending on the needs and wants of each specific patient. Dr. Hardaway will help you find a procedure and payment plan that suits your needs.
How long do results from a BBL last?
The results from the surgery can last for many years. Weight fluctuations after the surgery can affect the results, as the body can gain or lose fat cells during weight changes. Surgery aftercare is an important factor in this as well. Be sure to wear the surgical garments, and use a BBL pillow for the prescribed time after your surgery.
How is a BBL Performed?
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. Fat is removed from the multiple areas of the body with excess fat, most commonly the abdomen and back, using liposuction. The fat is then inserted into the buttocks. Contouring of the back with liposuction is also important to give a more aesthetic appearance.
How Long is Recovery From a BBL?
The recovery time varies depending on the patient. You can shower beginning 48 hours after surgery. You must wear the surgical garment for at least three to six weeks after surgery. Since the surgery is minimally invasive, most patients do not have major pain. After surgery, you will have to keep pressure off of the butt for three to six weeks. You will have to sleep on your stomach or side, and use a BBL pillow when seated to optimize fat take. In order for the fat to survive, it must attach to a blood supply. Any fat that does not obtain an adequate blood supply will not survive.
What are the risks of a BBL?
As with any surgery, there are some risks to a Brazilian butt lift surgery. A BBL is a minimally invasive procedure. There have been reports of fat embolism, which has similar symptoms as blood clots in the lungs. The American Society of Plastic Surgery has set up an advisory panel to further study these incidents. The ASPS has also established guidelines for fat transfer to the buttocks to help avoid these incidents. There are some aesthetic risks to the procedure, such as asymmetry or abnormalities in appearance of the butt.
Who is a good candidate for a BBL surgery?
You are a good candidate for a BBL surgery if you:
• Have good skin tone on the hips and buttocks
• Have adequate fat storage in the body, to allow movement of fat to the buttocks
• Do not have any serious medical conditions
• Do not have any conditions that will slow or impair the healing process
• Have realistic goals for surgery. Dr. Hardaway works with each patient to ensure that the procedure is tailored to their specific needs.
