What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a body contouring procedure that enhances the shape, lift, and projection of the buttocks using your own body fat.
Unlike implants, a BBL uses fat harvested via liposuction from areas such as:
- Abdomen
- Flanks
- Thighs
- Hips
- Back
This fat is then purified and strategically reinjected into the buttocks to create a natural-feeling, well-proportioned, and sculpted contour.
At Ocean Clinic Marbella, this procedure is tailored to your anatomy and cosmetic goals to produce a harmonious silhouette with smooth transitions and balanced proportions.
How the Procedure Works
Brazilian Butt Lift involves several key steps:
-
Fat Harvesting
- Fat is gently removed via liposuction from selected donor areas
- Small incisions are used to minimise visible scarring
-
Processing & Purification
- Harvested fat is cleaned and prepared to maximise fat-cell survival
-
Strategic Injection
- Fat is injected into the buttock in multiple layers
- This layering encourages survival of the transferred fat and helps create smooth, natural curves
-
Contouring
- The surgeon sculpts both the donor area (where fat was removed) and the buttock
- This enhances overall body proportions and contour
The result is a natural-looking, lifted, and fuller buttock shape — without foreign implants.
Benefits of BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift)
- Uses your own tissue — no synthetic implants
- Natural feel and appearance
- Improved overall body proportions
- Dual benefit: liposuction in donor areas + augmentation in buttocks
- Customised shaping tailored to your body and goals
Your Safety Comes First
Patient safety is central to every treatment performed at Ocean Clinic Marbella.

Because every patient is different, recommendations are always tailored to your anatomy, health and personal goals.
Recovery & Aftercare
Typical Recovery Timeline
- First 48–72 hours: Swelling is most noticeable
- Week 1: Light activities as tolerated
- Weeks 2–4: Gradual return to normal activity
- 6–8 weeks: Most swelling subsides and results become clear
Care Recommendations
- » Avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for about 2–3 weeks
- » Special pillows or wedges may be recommended
- » Wear compression garments to support contour and minimise swelling
- » Avoid strenuous exercise for ~4–6 weeks
Following postoperative instructions closely helps maximise fat survival and final contour.
Risks & Important Considerations
Like all surgical procedures, BBL has potential risks:
- ✓ Swelling and bruising
- ✓ Temporary numbness
- ✓ Asymmetry or uneven contour (rare)
- ✓ Fat reabsorption variability
- ✓ Minor contour irregularities
- ✓ Seroma / fluid collection (rare)
Thorough consultation, careful surgical technique and proper aftercare reduce risk and optimise outcomes.
