A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a fat-transfer procedure that reshapes and lifts the buttocks using your body’s own fat rather than implants. At Southeastern Aesthetic Surgery in Augusta, Georgia, Dr. Troy Austin removes fat from areas like the abdomen, flanks, and lower back through gentle liposuction, purifies it, and transfers it to the buttocks to add volume, projection, and a lifted contour.
Because the procedure both removes fat from one area and adds it to another, a BBL delivers two changes in a single surgery: a slimmer, more defined waistline where fat is harvested, and fuller, rounder curves where it is placed. The goal is proportion — a silhouette that suits your frame rather than an exaggerated one.
A traditional BBL does require enough fat to harvest from your own body. If you don’t, we also offer Alloclae — an option that’s perfect for individuals without sufficient donor fat, and one that’s commonly performed while you’re awake.
How a Brazilian Butt Lift differs from a butt implant
Buttock implants use silicone devices placed within or beneath the gluteal muscle. A BBL uses only autologous tissue — your own fat — so there is nothing artificial to shift, rupture, or require future replacement. Fat transfer also allows far more precise sculpting, because Dr. Austin can add volume in specific layers and regions rather than working around a fixed implant shape.
Who performs the procedure
Every Brazilian Butt Lift at Southeastern Aesthetic Surgery is performed personally by Dr. Austin in the practice’s QUAD A–accredited surgery center off River Watch Parkway in Augusta. BBL outcomes and safety are closely tied to surgical technique and facility standards, which is why the procedure is never delegated.
