A Brazilian Butt Lift uses liposuction to remove fat from areas such as your waist, abdomen, or thighs. The fat is purified and then injected into your buttocks to enhance shape and volume. At Chicago Breast & Body Aesthetics, we use advanced techniques to maximize fat survival while prioritizing safety and natural results.

When performed by a board-certified surgeon in a nationally accredited facility, a BBL is considered safe. Like any surgery, there are risks, including infection or fat embolism, which your surgeon will explain. Our surgical center is AAAHC-accredited with zero surgical deaths, reflecting the highest safety standards in outpatient care.

You may qualify if you're in good health, want more volume, and have enough body fat for transfer. Our board-certified Brazilian Butt lift surgeons evaluate every patient to match them with the right surgeon for the safest results.

Yes, your body mass index (BMI) plays an important role in determining if you are a good candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift. Patients with a BMI under 24 may still qualify through a "Skinny BBL," where smaller amounts of fat are harvested and transferred for a more natural enhancement. Patients with a BMI over 32 may be at greater risk for complications. At

Chicago Breast & Body Aesthetics, we evaluate every candidate carefully to ensure our surgeons can provide safe treatment and the best results based on your goals. Not everyone will be a candidate, which is why it's important to meet with your surgeon to discuss your body type, medical history, and options.

You'll be under anesthesia during surgery so you won't feel a thing during the procedure. Afterward, most patients feel soreness and swelling that improves in a few weeks. Our team provides a detailed recovery plan to help manage discomfort.

Most BBL procedures take about 2 to 4 hours, depending on the amount of fat being removed and transferred.

A BBL uses your own fat harvested with liposuction for a more natural appearance, while implants use silicone.

At Chicago Breast & Body, our surgeons do not offer buttock implants due to the high risk of complications.
