Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery is a technique for hip shaping using one’s own regional fat. In other words, it is a surgical procedure to shape and improve the size of the buttocks with fat. Also known as the BBL, it is a popular aesthetic surgery for both genders.
Excess fat tissues from the abdomen, waist or legs of the patient are taken by liposuction and then injected into the buttocks area. Thus, the waist area of the person will be thinned and the hip will be more noticable. In cases where the person does not have enough fat tissue, silicone implants are used.(*)

Fat is removed from the abdomen, waist, legs or back of the person.
