Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) in Bellevue, WA
A Brazilian butt lift in Bellevue reshapes the buttocks using your own fat for a natural, lifted contour.
Quick answer
A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) uses liposuction to harvest fat from areas like the abdomen and flanks, then injects the purified fat into the buttocks to add volume, projection, and a lifted shape — enhancing your figure with your own tissue, no implants required.
The BBL is really two procedures working together: liposuction slims the waist and donor areas while fat grafting adds shape to the buttocks. The contrast between a narrowed waist and fuller buttocks is what creates the signature curved silhouette. Dr. Day prioritizes safe injection technique above the muscle.
Because some grafted fat naturally settles, Dr. Day plans volume accordingly. Results that remain after the first few months are durable with a stable weight.
