Some soreness and tightness are expected after surgery, but most patients find recovery manageable with prescribed medication and proper rest.

When Will I See Results?

Results begin to appear as early swelling resolves within a few weeks and continue to refine over several months as the fat settles and integrates.

Can I Combine a BBL with Other Procedures?

Yes. Many patients combine their BBL with liposuction of additional areas, a tummy tuck , or breast enhancement for a more comprehensive transformation.

Risks include infection, bleeding, fat absorption, or contour irregularities. Dr. Wilson follows strict safety protocols and advanced fat-injection techniques that avoid deep muscle placement, minimizing risk and optimizing long-term results.

Introduction

Natural Enhancement with Your Own Fat — Serving Huntersville, Cornelius, Davidson, Mooresville, and Greater Charlotte

For many people in the Lake Norman area, the shape of the buttocks is as defining to body balance as the waistline or abdomen. Even with consistent exercise and a healthy lifestyle, genetics often determine how much natural fullness or roundness you have.

At Lake Norman Plastic Surgery in Huntersville, North Carolina, Dr. Henry Wilson helps patients from across Cornelius, Davidson, Mooresville, Denver, and greater Charlotte enhance their contours through the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)—a safe, natural approach that uses your own fat to sculpt a smooth, proportionate, and attractive silhouette.

What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

A Brazilian Butt Lift reshapes and enhances the buttocks using your own purified fat, rather than implants. Dr. Wilson begins by performing liposuction on donor areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, then carefully processes and transfers that fat into the buttocks using precision microinjections.

The result is a more lifted, contoured, and proportionate shape—slimmer where you want to be leaner and fuller where you want to add volume. Because your own fat is used, the results look and feel completely natural.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

The best candidates for a BBL are healthy adults who want to enhance their shape without implants and who have adequate fat for transfer.

You may be an excellent candidate if you:

Desire fuller, more balanced curves
Have good skin tone and sufficient donor fat
Are near your goal weight and able to maintain it
Prefer a natural enhancement using your own tissue

During your consultation, Dr. Wilson will assess your anatomy, discuss your goals, and determine if this procedure is the right fit.

Patients throughout Lake Norman and North Charlotte choose a BBL for its ability to deliver personalized, long-lasting improvement. Benefits include:

What to Expect on the Day of Surgery

The procedure is performed under anesthesia, overseen by a board-certified physician-anesthesiologist, in a certified surgical setting. Dr. Wilson begins with liposuction to harvest fat from the chosen areas, then purifies it using specialized techniques. The prepared fat is injected in layers into the buttocks with fine cannulas, ensuring smooth, even distribution and natural contours.

Once complete, small incisions are closed, and you’ll be monitored in recovery before going home the same day.

Recovery and Results

Your Guide to Post-Brazilian Butt Lift Care

Recovery from a Brazilian Butt Lift requires careful attention to protect the newly transferred fat. For at least two weeks, patients should avoid sitting or lying directly on their buttocks, instead using a specialized cushion or lying on their stomach when resting.

Mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness are expected for the first couple of weeks but improve steadily. Most patients return to light activity or desk work within 10–14 days and resume full activity after about six weeks.

Results continue to refine as swelling subsides and the transferred fat stabilizes, typically over three to six months. The final outcome is long-lasting and beautifully natural when maintained with a stable weight.

Cost of a Brazilian Butt Lift in the Lake Norman Area

Because every BBL plan is customized, costs vary depending on the amount of liposuction needed, surgical time, and other factors. During your consultation, Dr. Wilson will provide a detailed quote and discuss available financing options.
