BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT (BBL) IN DUBAI
Enhance Your Curves. Redefine Your Silhouette.
The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is one of the most sought-after procedures for achieving a natural, sculpted, and proportionate figure by using your own body fat to enhance the shape and projection of the buttocks. Rather than using implants, Dr. Hardik Ganatra’s BBL technique focuses on safe fat transfer, balancing artistry and safety to achieve smooth, natural-looking results that harmonize with your body’s proportions.
Brazilian Butt Lift
WHAT IS A BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT (BBL)?
The Brazilian Butt Lift is a two-step procedure that removes excess fat from specific areas of the body — typically the abdomen, waist, back, or thighs — and then injects the purified fat into the buttocks to enhance shape, projection, and contour. The result is not just a fuller look — but a snatched waistline and a sculpted lower body, achieved entirely through natural fat redistribution.
WHY CHOOSE DR. GANATRA FOR BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT (BBL)
Balanced curves, safety-first technique, and results that look like you—only better. As a board-certified plastic surgeon and body-contouring specialist, Dr. Ganatra combines precision liposuction with careful, ultrasound-guided fat transfer to sculpt a natural, harmonious silhouette.
- Ultrasound-guided fat transfer: Real-time visualization of the cannula tip to confirm subcutaneous-only placement (above the muscle), with controlled angulation and plane checks for safety.
- 360° contour planning: Strategic VASER-assisted liposuction of the waist, flanks, lower back, and thighs to narrow the torso and enhance buttock projection and shape.
- Natural ratios—not overfilled: Waist-to-hip balance, hip-dip correction when indicated, and tailored volume so results look proportional in and out of clothes.
- Fat-handling that respects viability: Gentle aspiration, closed/sterile processing, and micro-droplet layering to support even take and smooth contours.
- Meticulous access and closure: Discreet entry points and fine suturing with a scar-care plan that preserves skin quality.
- Safety protocols you can trust: Hospital-level standards, pre-op anesthetist clearance, guided tumescent/temperature control, and comprehensive VTE-risk reduction.
- Staged approach when wiser: If skin quality, BMI, or goals suggest it, volume is built over planned stages rather than overfilling in one session.
- Comfort-oriented recovery: Clear garment schedule, off-loading/sleep positioning guidance, lymphatic drainage when appropriate, and a phased return-to-gym plan.
- Honest counseling & alternatives: Transparent discussion of benefits, risks, and limits—including when candidacy is better served by skin tightening or weight stabilization first.
- Refinement & revision expertise: Correction of prior irregularities, asymmetries, or fibrosis for a smoother, more confident shape.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A BBL?
You may be a good candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift if you:
- Have stubborn fat in areas like abdomen, flanks, or thighs suitable for transfer
- Want to enhance buttock shape, fullness, or projection
- Prefer a natural alternative to implants
- Are in good overall health with stable weight
- Have realistic expectations about achievable volume and contour
PRE-OPERATIVE EVALUATION & SAFETY PROTOCOLS
Before your procedure, Dr. Hardik Ganatra conducts a comprehensive pre-operative consultation to ensure your safety and achieve results tailored to your goals.
During this evaluation:
- Detailed Consultation: Dr. Ganatra takes time to understand your aesthetic goals, expectations, and areas of concern to recommend the most suitable treatment plan.
- Treatment Planning: You are provided with the ideal surgical option as well as possible alternative approaches, ensuring you make an informed decision.
- Medical Evaluation: Routine blood investigations are performed to confirm your fitness for anesthesia and surgery.
- Photography & Measurements: Standardized photographs are taken (without revealing your identity) and precise body measurements are recorded to aid surgical planning and postoperative comparison.
- Consent & Documentation: The procedure, recovery, and potential risks are clearly explained, followed by signed patient consent.
- Anesthesiology Assessment: Every patient meets the anesthesiologist at the hospital for a pre-operative safety evaluation and anesthesia clearance.
This structured process ensures that every Brazilian Butt Lift is performed under the highest standards of medical safety, transparency, and personalized care.
HOW THE PROCEDURE IS PERFORMED
Step 1: Liposuction and Fat Harvesting
VASER-assisted liposuction is performed to remove excess fat from donor areas like abdomen, back, and thighs. This not only refines those regions but also enhances the curve transition to the buttocks.
Step 2: Fat Purification
The harvested fat is filtered and purified using a closed sterile system to remove any impurities, oil, or fluids, leaving behind healthy fat cells.
Step 3: Fat Injection (Sculpting)
Using microcannulas and ultrasound guidance, the fat is injected strategically into the subcutaneous layer of the buttocks.
Step 4: Final Contouring
Dr. Hardik carefully shapes the waist, hips, and buttocks for balance and symmetry — ensuring results that complement your natural frame.
RECOVERY AND POST-OPERATIVE CARE
Recovery after a BBL focuses on protecting the grafted fat and ensuring proper skin and tissue healing.
Typical Recovery Guidelines:
- Avoid sitting or lying directly on your buttocks for 2–3 weeks
- Use a BBL pillow when sitting to offload pressure
- Wear compression garments on donor areas for 4–6 weeks
- Lymphatic massages begin after the first week
- IV and peptide therapy aid in faster tissue regeneration
- Light walking is encouraged from day two; gym workouts can resume after 4–6 weeks
Results Timeline:
- Initial shape visible within 2–3 weeks
- Final results develop over 3–6 months as fat settles and swelling subsides
COMBINATION OPTIONS
Tummy Tuck and Mommy Makeover procedures can be safely combined with:
- VASER Liposuction for enhanced contouring
- J-Plasma (Renuvion) for skin tightening
- Breast Lift / Augmentation for upper body rejuvenation
- Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) for proportional balance
BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT
Before & After
Each transformation under Dr. Hardik’s care is designed to enhance your natural proportions not exaggerate them.
What OUR Patients are saying ?
“It looks so natural — no one believes I had surgery.”
“I wanted to enhance my curves but was terrified of looking ‘overdone.’ Dr. Ganatra really listened to what I wanted — subtle lift, smooth proportions, and balance with the rest of my body. The BBL results are exactly that. My clothes fit beautifully, and it still looks completely natural. Truly an art.”

“He didn’t just shape my body — he reshaped my confidence.”
“I had always felt self-conscious about having a flat figure. When I met Dr. Ganatra in Dubai, his approach felt different — focused on harmony, not exaggeration. The recovery was smooth, and the results are sculpted yet soft. It’s not about size; it’s about proportion — and he got that perfectly right.”

BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a buttock lift?
A buttock lift removes excess, sagging skin from the upper and/or lower buttocks and re-suspends the tissue to create a firmer, lifted contour. It is a skin-tightening operation—not a volume-adding one.
2. Is a buttock lift the same as a BBL (Brazilian Buttock Lift)?
No. A BBL adds volume using fat transfer. A buttock lift tightens and lifts loose skin. After weight loss, many patients benefit from a lift, sometimes combined with strategic fat grafting for shape (done as a staged plan when safer).
3. Who is a good candidate?
Men and women with deflated, ptotic buttocks and redundant skin after major weight loss, at a stable weight for 6–12 months, nonsmoking (or willing to stop), and with realistic goals.
4. What types of buttock lifts are there?
* Upper buttock lift / posterior component of a lower-body lift: scar placed across the upper buttock/low back to lift and smooth the buttocks.
* Belt lipectomy (360° lower-body lift): circumferential scar that lifts buttocks, outer thighs, and abdomen—common after massive weight loss.
* Lateral thigh/buttock extension: tailored when rolls extend toward the flanks/hips.
5. Where are the scars and how visible are they?
Scars usually lie along the upper buttock/low back line (hidden under underwear or swimwear waistbands) and may extend around the waist in 360° lifts. Scars fade over 6–12 months with silicone therapy, taping, and sun protection.
6. Will a lift add projection or volume?
A lift improves position and firmness. It doesn’t add volume; projection can be enhanced with staged fat graftingonce tissues have healed and blood supply is favorable.
7. Can liposuction be combined with a buttock lift?
Yes—selective liposuction can refine flanks/outer thighs and reduce closure tension, improving contour and scar quality. (When fat transfer to the buttocks is planned in another stage, Dr. Ganatra performs ultrasound-guided, subcutaneous-only grafting per modern safety guidance.)
8. What is recovery like?
* Walking: same day (short, frequent walks).
* Desk work: ~10–14 days (extent-dependent).
* Light cardio: ~2–3 weeks.
* Lower-body/strength & stretching: ~6–8 weeks (avoid heavy hip flexion/abduction early).
* Compression garment: typically 6 weeks.
* Sleep mostly on your side or front initially to protect the repair (we’ll guide positioning).
9. Is it painful?
Expect tightness and soreness for several days; pain is usually manageable with prescribed medication, compression, and positioning.
10. How long until final results?
Contour steadily improves over 4–8 weeks; scars mature and soften over 6–12 months.
11. What are the risks?
Bleeding/hematoma, infection, wound-healing delay or separation (tension areas), seroma, contour irregularity/dog-ears, numbness/tingling, and thick or widened scars. We also prevent blood clots (DVT/PE) with screening and VTE protocols.
12. Will it treat cellulite or stretch marks?
Tightening can improve the look of dimpling but it’s not a cellulite treatment. Stretch marks within the skin that’s removed are gone; others shift position.
13. Will I need drains?
Sometimes—depending on dissection area and whether lipo is combined. Many cases are drainless with quilting sutures and compression.
14. Can a buttock lift be combined with tummy tuck or thigh procedures?
Yes often part of a lower-body lift. We individualize combinations for safety, operative time, and recovery; staging is common after massive weight loss.
15. What about sensation or sitting?
Temporary reduced sensation over the upper buttock is common. Sitting is allowed with cushioning and short intervals early on; we’ll give a step-wise plan to increase tolerance safely.
16. How do I prepare?
Stop smoking, optimize protein/nutrition, pause certain meds/supplements if advised, arrange help for 1–2 weeks, and bring your compression garments to surgery.
17. How long do results last?
Long-lasting with stable weight and healthy habits. Significant weight changes can loosen tissues again.
18. Can I still have a BBL later if I do a lift now?
Yes—commonly staged. After healing, ultrasound-guided, subcutaneous-only fat transfer can be considered to enhance projection safely (no intramuscular injections).
19. When can I shower, drive, or fly?
* Shower: usually after 24–48 hours if incisions are sealed (per instructions).
* Drive: ~1–2 weeks once off sedating pain meds and you can sit/move comfortably.
* Fly: short flights after ~2 weeks (walk/hydrate/compression socks); long-haul after clearance.
20. How much does a buttock lift cost (e.g., in Dubai)?
Fees vary by extent (upper lift vs 360°), whether lipo is added, hospital/anesthesia time, and aftercare. You’ll receive a personalized quotation after consultation.
