Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

At Gruber Plastic Surgery in Tampa, FL, we offer Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery tailored to each patient's unique needs and aesthetic goals. This cosmetic surgery involves removing fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or lower back using liposuction, purifying it, and then injecting it into the buttocks to achieve a natural-looking enhancement. Dr. Meegan Gruber, a board-certified plastic surgeon, performs this procedure as an outpatient surgery under general or local anesthesia, depending on your preference. During the BBL surgery, Dr. Gruber makes a small incision and uses a suction technique to remove fat cells from the donor area. The fat is then purified and injected into the gluteal area to enhance the size and shape of the buttocks. To ensure optimal results, it's important to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for at least six weeks post-surgery. Patients are advised to sleep on their stomach or side and wear a compression garment to support the healing process, minimizing pressure on the buttocks and helping the transferred fat cells integrate properly. Recovery time varies, but most patients can return to work within a few weeks. It's crucial to maintain realistic expectations and follow post-operative care instructions to achieve the best results. Whether you're seeking to enhance your lower body, improve your body shape, or deal with the results of significant weight loss, Dr. Gruber and our experienced team are dedicated to helping you achieve a firmer, more toned appearance.
