What is a BBL?
A Brazilian Butt Lift uses autologous fat transfer to enhance buttock volume and shape. Fat is harvested via liposuction, purified, and injected in multiple layers for a natural, proportional result.
How much fat survives?
Typically 60-80% of transferred fat becomes permanent. Results depend on technique, individual factors, and post-operative care.
