BBL Designed with Precision, Technology, and Control

The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) has become one of the most sought-after body-contouring procedures worldwide, offering the ability to enhance the buttocks using your own fat while reshaping the waist, hips, and overall silhouette.

What defines exceptional BBL results today is not just volume – it is shape, balance, and safety.

At Puyana

Plastic Surgery

Dr. Salomon Puyana performs BBL using a multi-technology, safety-driven approach, offering both Skinny BBL and Traditional BBL, depending on each patient’s anatomy, goals, and desired outcome. Fat can be carefully transferred not only to the buttocks, but also to the hip dips, creating smoother transitions and a more harmonious contour.

What Is BBL (Fat Grafting to Buttocks)?

BBL, or fat grafting to the buttocks, is a surgical procedure that:

Removes fat from areas such as the abdomen, waist, flanks, or back
Processes and purifies the fat
Transfers fat to the buttocks and/or hips, depending on the patient’s desires and goals, to enhance shape, projection, and proportion.

Because the procedure uses your own tissue, BBL allows for natural integration while simultaneously improving multiple areas of the body.

Dr. Salomon Puyana customizes every BBL based on:

Fat availability
Body proportions
Desired size and shape
Safety considerations

Why Choose BBL?

Patients choose BBL to:

Enhance buttock shape and projection
Improve hip dips and lateral contour
Create a more balanced waist-to-hip ratio
Use their own fat instead of implants
Achieve a sculpted, feminine silhouette

When performed with advanced technology and proper technique, BBL can deliver powerful yet controlled aesthetic enhancement.

Skinny BBL vs. Traditional BBL

Skinny BBL
A Skinny BBL focuses on refinement rather than volume.
- Ideal for patients with limited fat
- Emphasizes shaping, contour, and silhouette
- Enhances natural curves without dramatic size increase
- Often focuses on hip dips and smooth transitions 
Traditional BBL
A Traditional BBL is designed for patients seeking more volume and projection.
- Uses larger fat volumes
- Creates a fuller, more prominent buttock
- Still prioritizes proportion and balance
- Often combined with aggressive waist and back contouring
