Buttock Fat Transfer (BBL)

Commonly known as a Brazilian Butt Lift, this safe, implant-free procedure enhances the shape and volume of your buttocks using your body’s own fat — tailored to your individual aesthetic goals by Dr. Sarah Nargi.

What Is a Buttock Fat Transfer?

A Two-Part Body Contouring Procedure

01

Liposuction

Fat is gently removed from donor areas such as the stomach, thighs, or love handles using advanced liposuction techniques.

02

Purification

The harvested fat is carefully purified and prepared for reinjection.

03

Fat Injection

Dr. Nargi strategically injects the fat into specific regions of the buttocks to create smooth, symmetrical, natural-looking volume.

Enhanced Shape Fuller, more sculpted buttocks
Natural Look & Feel Uses your own fat, not implants
Improved Proportions A more balanced body silhouette

Is BBL surgery safe?

When performed by a trained BBL surgeon like Dr. Nargi, the procedure is considered safe. We follow the latest safety protocols to reduce risks and improve outcomes.

Is the result customizable?

Whether you want a subtle lift or a more dramatic contour, Dr. Nargi will work with your body type and preferences to design the best shape for you.

When can I sit normally again?

Most patients can resume sitting without a BBL pillow after 6 weeks. Following positioning instructions is essential for optimal fat survival.
