Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) in Washington, DC
CONVENIENTLY LOCATED TO SERVE WASHINGTON, DCA Brazilian Butt Lift offers a powerful blend of body contouring and volume enhancement using your own fat. At the DC Cosmetic Surgery Center, Dr. Michael Olding performs this surgery with precision, combining targeted liposuction and strategic fat grafting to improve the shape of both the buttocks and the surrounding areas. Patients from Washington, DC, and beyond choose the BBL for fuller curves, a smoother silhouette, and naturally balanced proportions.
What Is Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery?
Brazilian Butt Lift surgery uses autologous fat—fat taken from your own body—to reshape and enhance the buttocks. Liposuction removes fat from areas where you don’t want it, such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. That fat is purified and injected into carefully mapped zones of the buttocks. Because the BBL procedure works with your own tissue, the results look and feel like a natural extension of your shape.
Benefits of a Brazilian Butt Lift
A BBL provides improvement beyond volume alone. Slimming the waistline and lower back highlights the new contour of the buttocks, creating a more sculpted transition from the torso to the hips. Many patients also appreciate the softness and mobility of fat-transfer results compared to implants. With stable postoperative care, the improved shape can last for years.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a BBL in Washington, DC?
A Brazilian Butt Lift is most suitable for patients seeking natural-looking enhancement using their own fat. Ideal candidates typically include:
- Individuals who want fuller, rounder, or more projected buttocks without implants.
- Patients with areas of unwanted fat—such as the abdomen, flanks, back, or thighs—that can be used for fat transfer.
- Men and women in good general health with no conditions that may impair healing.
- Those with realistic expectations about contour changes and the recovery timeline.
- Patients committed to maintaining a stable weight, which helps preserve long-term results.

How the Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure Works
A BBL begins with liposuction performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Olding removes excess fat from selected areas—for many patients, this includes the abdomen, flanks, hips, back rolls, or thighs. The fat is purified to separate healthy fat cells from fluids and oils.
Using a series of fine access points, he re-injects the fat into the buttocks, layering it to shape the upper pole, mid-curve, and lateral contours. The goal is symmetry, lasting projection, and a smooth shape that fits your body. A compression garment is placed after surgery to help control swelling and support the newly contoured areas.
Recovery Timeline and Results
Bruising, swelling, and soreness are common side effects that may occur after the procedure. Most patients are advised to take several weeks off from strenuous activity and follow particular positioning rules. Avoiding direct pressure on the buttocks is essential in the early phase, which means using a support pillow or lying on the stomach while the transferred fat settles.
Noticeable changes begin to appear as swelling decreases, but final Brazilian Butt Lift results emerge over three to six months. Consistency with all aftercare instructions helps protect the fat grafts and allows them to integrate successfully.
Cost and Financing Options
The cost of a Brazilian Butt Lift varies depending on the number of liposuction areas, the complexity of the surgical plan, and the amount of fat transferred. A personalized quote is provided after your consultation, and the price remains valid for one year from the date of your consultation.
Patients who desire flexible payment arrangements may be eligible for medical financing through approved partners. Your patient liaison will go through available options in detail.
