A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the size and shape of the buttocks using fat grafting techniques. The procedure involves liposuction to remove fat from areas of your body like the abdomen, thighs, or lower back, which is then purified and injected into the buttocks.
During a BBL, Dr. Meegan Gruber will use liposuction to harvest fat from selected areas of the body. The fat is then purified and strategically injected into the buttocks to achieve the desired shape and size. The procedure is typically performed by Dr. Gruber as an awake outpatient procedure but can be done under general anesthesia if desired.
Yes, Dr. Meegan Gruber can perform an awake Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) using local anesthesia no sedation for liposuction and fat transfer, allowing you to remain awake but comfortable throughout the procedure.
Recovery time varies, but most patients can return to normal activities within a few days. It is essential to avoid sitting or lying directly on your buttocks for at least six weeks to ensure the best results. Wearing a compression garment and following post-operative care instructions is crucial for optimal healing.
A BBL may be ideal if you are looking to enhance your buttock size and shape using natural fat transfer. A consultation with Dr. Gruber will help determine if you are a good candidate for this procedure and the best approach for your specific needs.

During your BBL consultation, Dr. Gruber will examine your buttock and discuss the types of BBL that may be suitable for you, ensuring that you achieve your aesthetic goals.
