The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) combines precision liposuction with expert fat grafting to create beautiful, natural curves. Dr. Tim Neavin's 15+ years of fat transfer experience ensures optimal fat survival rates and results that look and feel completely natural—no implants, no foreign materials, just your own tissue sculpted to perfection.
Schedule Consultation Call (310) 858-8811A Brazilian Butt Lift uses your own fat—harvested from areas where you don't want it—to enhance the size, shape, and projection of your buttocks. Unlike silicone implants, the results look natural, feel natural, and move naturally because they're made of your own tissue.
The procedure begins with liposuction to harvest fat from donor areas such as the abdomen, flanks, lower back, or thighs. This fat is then purified and carefully injected into the buttocks in multiple layers to create fuller, rounder contours while simultaneously slimming the areas where fat was removed.
"The BBL is really two procedures in one—you get a slimmer waist and midsection while gaining the curves you've always wanted. When done properly, the results can be transformative."
A Brazilian Butt Lift delivers dramatic improvements in two areas simultaneously—slimming where you want less volume and enhancing where you want more.
Liposuction removes stubborn fat from donor areas, creating a more sculpted silhouette.
Strategic fat grafting creates fuller, rounder buttocks with natural projection.
Dr. Neavin follows the latest safety protocols established by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) Task Force on BBL Safety to minimize risks and ensure optimal outcomes.
Fat is carefully injected into the subcutaneous layer above the muscle—never into or below the gluteal muscle—eliminating the primary risk factor associated with BBL complications.
Using blunt-tip cannulas rather than sharp needles significantly reduces the risk of vascular trauma and fat embolism during the injection process.
Dr. Neavin prioritizes safety over extreme volume. Reasonable transfer amounts (typically 250-500cc per side) ensure beautiful results without compromising safety.
All BBL procedures are performed at an accredited surgical facility with full monitoring and safety equipment, never in an office setting.
"I researched BBL surgeons for over a year before choosing Dr. Neavin. His expertise with fat transfer and his honest approach about what results are realistic made me feel completely confident. Six months later, I couldn't be happier—my results look so natural that people think I just started working out more!"— Verified Patient, Brazilian Butt Lift
Using tumescent liposuction, Dr. Neavin carefully removes fat from your chosen donor areas—typically the abdomen, flanks, lower back, or thighs. This step also sculpts these areas for a slimmer contour.
The harvested fat is purified to separate healthy fat cells from blood, oil, and fluid. Only the highest-quality fat cells are selected for transfer to maximize survival rates.
Purified fat is meticulously injected into the buttocks in small amounts across multiple layers. Dr. Neavin focuses on the subcutaneous space, sculpting for natural-looking fullness and projection.
The Brazilian Butt Lift is one of the most technique-dependent procedures in plastic surgery. The skill of your surgeon directly impacts both safety and results. With over 15 years specializing in fat grafting procedures, Dr. Neavin has refined his technique to maximize fat survival while maintaining the highest safety standards.
Not all fat that's transferred will survive—the realistic survival rate is approximately 40-60%. This is why technique matters enormously. How the fat is harvested, processed, and injected all affect how many cells establish blood supply in their new location. Dr. Neavin's experience allows him to optimize each step for the best possible outcome.
"I believe in honest conversations about what's achievable. I'd rather under-promise and over-deliver than create unrealistic expectations. The goal is beautiful, natural-looking results that you'll love for years to come."
Dr. Neavin also understands that not everyone is a candidate for BBL. Very thin patients without sufficient fat for transfer (minimum approximately 400cc total needed) may be better served by alternative options like Sculptra injections or, in some cases, buttock implants. During your consultation, he'll honestly assess whether BBL is right for your body and goals.
Recovery from a Brazilian Butt Lift requires specific care to protect your results. Following post-operative instructions carefully is essential for optimal fat survival.
Rest at home, wear compression garment 24/7, manage drains if placed. No sitting or lying on buttocks.
Most patients return to desk work using BBL pillow. Light walking encouraged. Continue compression garment.
Can sit with BBL pillow for longer periods. Light exercise may resume. Swelling continues to improve.
Fat cells stabilize. "Fluffing" phase where skin softens around grafts. Full results visible.
Avoiding direct pressure on your buttocks for the first 2-6 weeks is essential for fat cell survival. When you must sit, use a BBL pillow that shifts your weight to your thighs. Sleep on your stomach or side. These precautions protect the transferred fat as it establishes blood supply in its new location. Ignoring sitting restrictions can significantly reduce your results.
The ideal BBL candidate has sufficient donor fat, good skin elasticity, and realistic expectations. During your consultation, Dr. Neavin will evaluate your specific anatomy and goals.
