Brazilian Lift (BBL) & Fat Grafting to the Buttocks
Natural Buttock Enhancement Using Your Own Fat
A Brazilian Lift, also known as a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), combines liposuction and fat grafting to enhance the shape and contour of the buttocks using your own fat.
At Aesthetic Medical Center in Myrtle Beach, Dr. Marcovici carefully harvests fat from selected areas of the body, such as the abdomen, waist, hips, or thighs, and transfers the purified fat to the buttocks to create a fuller, smoother, and more naturally balanced appearance.
Unlike buttock implants, fat grafting uses your own tissue, allowing the buttocks to look and feel more natural while also improving the contours of the areas where the fat is removed.

Why Choose Fat Grafting for Buttock Enhancement?
A Brazilian Lift using your own fat offers a natural way to enhance the shape and fullness of the buttocks without using implants.
The procedure combines liposuction and fat grafting, allowing us to improve two areas of the body during the same treatment. Unwanted fat can be removed from areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, or thighs and then carefully transferred to the buttocks to enhance their shape and proportion.

How Does a Brazilian Lift Work?
A Brazilian Lift is a customized combination of liposuction and fat grafting. The procedure is planned around your anatomy, the amount of available fat, and the shape and proportions you want to achieve.
1. Fat Harvesting
Using liposuction, fat is carefully removed from selected areas where excess fat is present, such as the abdomen, waist, hips, or thighs.
2. Fat Preparation
The harvested fat is carefully processed to separate and prepare the fat that will be used for grafting.
3. Fat Grafting to the Buttocks
The prepared fat is strategically transferred to selected areas of the buttocks to improve fullness, contour, projection, and overall proportion.
The amount and placement of fat are individualized for each patient. The goal is a natural-looking enhancement rather than an exaggerated appearance.
Brazilian Lift with Local Tumescent Anesthesia
At Aesthetic Medical Center, Dr. Marcovici performs selected body-contouring procedures using tumescent local anesthesia, rather than general anesthesia or IV sedation.
For appropriately selected patients, this approach can provide a comfortable, office-based experience while avoiding the recovery associated with general anesthesia.
Your consultation is an important part of determining whether a Brazilian Lift with local tumescent anesthesia is appropriate for you. Dr. Marcovici will evaluate your overall health, body shape, available donor fat, and aesthetic goals before recommending an individualized treatment plan.
A Personalized Approach
Every Brazilian Lift is different. The amount of fat available, the areas requiring liposuction, and the desired buttock shape all influence the treatment plan.
The goal is to enhance your natural proportions—not to create a one-size-fits-all result.
Recovery, Results & Safety
Recovery after a Brazilian Lift varies depending on the amount of liposuction and fat grafting performed. Most patients can gradually return to normal activities as healing progresses, following Dr. Marcovici's specific post-procedure instructions.
Some of the transferred fat is naturally absorbed by the body during the healing process, while the remaining fat can provide long-lasting enhancement. Final results become more apparent as swelling decreases and the tissues heal. Patient selection, careful technique, and appropriate fat placement are essential for both safety and a natural-looking result.
Dr. Marcovici's Experience with Brazilian Lift & Fat Grafting
Dr. Marcovici has extensive experience with fat grafting and the Brazilian Lift technique. His work with Brazilian Lift began well before the procedure became widely popular, including his 2011 publication, “Brazilian Lift – Not Only for Cosmetic Reasons.”
His approach focuses on individualized body contouring, careful fat harvesting and preparation, and precise fat placement to create natural-looking proportions.
Rather than following a standardized approach, each procedure is designed around the patient's anatomy, available donor fat, and aesthetic goals.
A Natural Approach to Body Contouring
The Brazilian Lift can do more than enhance the buttocks. By combining liposuction with fat grafting, the procedure can reshape the waist, abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks as part of an overall body-contouring plan.
The goal is a balanced result that looks natural and complements the patient's individual body shape.

Frequently Asked Questions About Brazilian Lift
Is a Brazilian Lift the same as a BBL?
Yes. A Brazilian Lift, commonly called a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), uses liposuction to harvest fat from selected areas of the body and transfers the processed fat to the buttocks to enhance their shape and fullness.
Do you use implants for a Brazilian Lift?
No. Dr. Marcovici uses your own fat for buttock enhancement rather than buttock implants. This can provide a more natural look and feel while also allowing unwanted fat to be removed from other areas of the body.
Where does the fat come from?
Fat is typically harvested from areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, or thighs—depending on your individual anatomy and where excess fat is available.
How long do Brazilian Lift results last?
The fat that successfully survives the healing process can provide long-lasting results. However, the body naturally absorbs some of the transferred fat, and changes in weight can affect the final appearance.
Am I a good candidate for a Brazilian Lift?
The best candidates are generally healthy adults with sufficient donor fat and realistic expectations about the procedure. During your consultation, Dr. Marcovici will evaluate your anatomy, available fat, overall health, and goals to determine whether a Brazilian Lift is appropriate for you.
Ready for a More Balanced, Natural Shape?
A Brazilian Lift can help sculpt areas where unwanted fat is present while enhancing the shape and fullness of the buttocks using your own fat.
