Brazilian Butt Lift in GREENWICH, CT &Westchester, NY – Dr. Sandra Margoles
Hourglass curves remain the most desirable body shape, but achieving this ideal can be challenging. Many women lack fullness in the buttocks area.

A Brazilian butt lift is the secret to building volume and creating an ideal shape in the buttocks.

What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
A Brazilian butt lift is a type of fat grafting procedure, which moves fat from a “donor” area into a spot that needs additional volume. Dr. Margoles will extract fat from an area of the body with excess – often the waist or thighs – and transplants it into the buttocks, where the cells will establish a blood supply on their own.
Since a butt lift takes fat from one area and moves it into another, this procedure shapes and contours two areas of the body with a single treatment. If you’re trying to achieve an hourglass shape, this procedure can improve the waist and the buttocks simultaneously. Many women also opt for breast augmentation to balance their results and achieve their desired body shape.

What Happens During a Brazilian Butt Lift?
A Brazilian butt lift takes place in two distinct phases: fat extraction and fat transfer. Learn more about each stage of the process below.
The first step of a BBL is fat extraction. Dr. Margoles will select an area of the body with extra fat and will remove fat using liposuction. To enhance the results of your butt augmentation, Dr. Margoles will often choose to remove the “donor” fat from a surrounding area like the waist, hips, or thighs.
Then, Dr. Margoles will make small incisions near the extraction site. She gently inserts a cannula into the incision and uses suction to remove fat and shape the area. Dr. Margoles performs this step carefully to create smooth contours.
Liposuction continues until Dr. Margoles has obtained enough fat and achieved the ideal contours. Then, she prepares the extracted fat and places it into syringes for stage two of the procedure.
The second stage of a Brazilian butt lift involves transferring fat into the buttocks. Dr. Margoles injects the previously extracted fat into the buttocks through a series of injections. She takes care to distribute the purified fat cells throughout the buttocks area to create a full, lifted, and rounded shape.
Since some fat cells will not survive the recovery process, Dr. Margoles may transfer a little more than needed to compensate for this loss. By transferring additional fat, Dr. Margoles ensures that you achieve the desired results from the procedure.
A Brazilian butt lift takes two to three hours to complete. After your procedure, you’ll spend some time in our recovery area, where our team of skilled nurses will carefully monitor you until you are ready to return home.

Brazilian Butt Lift in Greenwich & Westchester: FAQs
What should I expect from recovery after a BBL in Greenwich, CT?
Most of your recovery will happen at home. Patients return to our office regularly so Dr. Margoles can monitor their healing.
To ensure that transferred fat has the best chances for implantation, Dr. Margoles asks BBL patients to avoid sitting or lying on the buttocks for at least two weeks after surgery. A typical recovery after a BBL takes four to six weeks.
Will I have scars after a Brazilian butt lift?
Scarring is minimal after a butt lift procedure. Small incisions are necessary for the fat extraction, but Dr. Margoles places these carefully to minimize visibility and ensure discreet healing. Most patients will not notice much, if any, permanent scarring.
How much does a BBL cost in Greenwich, CT?
Patients achieve the best results from their plastic surgery procedures when their surgeon customizes the procedure to their needs. With personalized procedures, many variables can impact cost, making it impossible to provide an accurate quote without meeting a patient and discussing their goals.
We’ll provide a detailed estimate for your procedure costs during your consultation with Dr. Margoles.
How long do BBL results last?
Dr. Margoles recommends waiting about three months for women who are not nursing. This allows time for the uterus to regain its normal size and shape. Moms who are breastfeeding should avoid general anesthesia.
Is a BBL better than buttocks augmentation with implants?
A Brazilian butt lift uses a patient’s body fat to enhance and contour the buttocks. In contrast, traditional butt augmentation uses a silicone implant. Many patients prefer the natural look and feel of a BBL over implants. Butt implants must withstand significant force from sitting and lying down, potentially increasing the chances of complications. Since a BBL uses a patient’s tissues, there is no risk of rejection or implant rupture.
Can I sit down at all after a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Patients are usually advised to avoid sitting directly on their buttocks for the first couple of weeks. They may use special cushions or pillows to minimize pressure on the area.
What areas can fat be harvested from for a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Common donor areas for fat harvest include the abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs, and back. The choice of donor areas depends on the patient’s unique body and goals.
Is the fat transfer permanent?
While not all injected fat may survive, the fat that successfully establishes a blood supply in the buttocks typically remains there permanently.
Are there risks associated with Brazilian Butt Lift surgery?
Like any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, including infection, bleeding, fat embolism, asymmetry, and skin irregularities. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon can minimize these risks.
How long before I can see the final results?
It can take several weeks for the swelling to subside and for the final results of the Brazilian Butt Lift to become apparent, usually around six to eight weeks.
What is the importance of choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon?
Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon ensures that your surgeon has the necessary training, experience, and expertise to perform the procedure safely and effectively. They are also held to the highest ethical standards in medicine.
Can I combine a Brazilian Butt Lift with other procedures?
Many patients combine a BBL with procedures like liposuction, tummy tuck, or breast augmentation for a more comprehensive transformation.
How long does the surgery typically take?
The duration of a Brazilian Butt Lift surgery varies, but it generally takes around two to four hours, depending on the case’s complexity.
How soon can I return to work after a BBL?
Most patients can return to work within one to two weeks, although this can vary depending on the nature of your job and the extent of the procedure.
Can I exercise after a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Light activities can be resumed after a few weeks, but strenuous exercises should be avoided for several weeks for proper healing.
Are there any age restrictions for a Brazilian Butt Lift?
There isn’t a strict age limit, but candidates should be healthy and have realistic expectations. Consultation with a surgeon will determine suitability.
How soon can I resume normal activities?
While you can resume light activities within a few weeks, increasing your activity level gradually is important to avoid complications.
Can significant weight loss after a BBL affect the results?
Significant weight fluctuations can impact the results of a Brazilian Butt Lift. Maintaining a stable weight is advisable to ensure your results’ longevity.
