Having a perky, Jennifer Lopez-caliber booty is nice and all, but when you come to think of it, it’s not just the rounded buttocks that make J. Lo uber attractive. Her small waist and firm, toned thighs give her an hourglass shape. Her lower back has a smooth, concave sweep that’s devoid of any excess fat. She even has a V-shaped depression that distinctly separates the lower back from her upper buttocks. There are no saddlebags, love handles, and cellulite in sight.
While many women think that having a nice pair of buttocks is all they need, the truth is the attractiveness of these buttocks depends on the bigger picture. It has to be complemented with the right curves at the right places to have an aesthetically pleasing front and back appearance. And you can achieve rounder buttocks and beautiful womanly curves in one surgery with a high-definition Brazilian butt lift — the signature surgery of internationally-renowned top Newport Beach plastic surgeon, Dr. Siamak Agha.

Internationally renowned and top Newport Beach plastic surgeon Dr. Siamak Agha MD, PhD, FACS, is an expert in body contouring surgery and creating curvaceous buttocks that many celebrities have recently been flaunting.
For over 20 years, Dr. Agha has pioneered multiple Plastic Surgery procedures that focus on creating definition and tridimensional results that are natural and youthful. His pioneered procedures include the High-Definition Brazilian Butt Lift, High-Definition Tummy Tuck™, High-Definition Mommy Makeover, and various buttocks reshaping and enhancement procedures. As an expert in buttock reshaping with one of the largest butt galleries, Dr. Agha offers many buttock enhancement procedures, such as traditional butt lift, buttock implants, and buttock fat transfer — aka Brazilian Butt Lift.
A number of factors, such as genetics, race, gender, aging, and weight influences the shape of your buttocks.

Furthermore, certain features define an aesthetically beautiful pair of buttocks. Dr. Agha believes that the focus of buttocks enhancement should not just be the ideal buttocks but the ideal back view— meaning beautiful buttocks framed on a smooth back, hourglass waist, and just the right amount of hip fullness.
A Brazilian butt lift or buttocks fat transfer is truly an ingenious procedure that accomplishes two goals. It removes fat from unwanted places such as love handles and back and transfers the fat into the buttocks. Although the procedure sounds simple, the outcome of a Brazilian butt lift is more dependent on the skills and knowledge of your chosen plastic surgeon than any other plastic surgery procedure.
A High-Definition Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is our specialized signature BBL procedure that dramatically enhances the shape and appearance of your buttocks while improving your whole “back view.” This innovative procedure, expertly performed by our board-certified plastic surgeons, goes beyond traditional butt augmentation techniques.
In the hands of Dr. Agha, liposuction is not only used to remove unwanted fat from various areas but also to sculpt curvature and definitions to enhance your particular body shape. Liposuction of the love handles and waist can create a three-dimensional hourglass look, while liposculpture of the lower back enhances the lower back concavity.
Dr. Agha liposuctions the fat using gold-standard tumescent liposuction under low pressure. This liposuction modality is the least damaging to the fat. The fat cells are then washed and cleaned. Pure, processed fat cells are then carefully injected into the buttocks as minute droplets while shaping the buttock cheeks, ensuring a harmonious and natural look. This is very important to the survival of the newly transplanted fat cells that require oxygen and nutrition from adjacent fat cells. A perkier, fuller, lifted buttocks with the concavity of the lower back and waist is the hallmark of the final high-definition Brazilian butt lift technique of Dr. Agha.
Not everyone is a good candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift BBL. Ideal candidates should be in good general health, have enough fat in donor sites for grafting, and have realistic expectations about the outcome. The surgeon will assess your suitability for the procedure during the initial consultation.
By choosing a High-Definition Brazilian Butt Lift, you’re not just opting for a cosmetic procedure; you’re selecting a transformative journey. It’s a comprehensive approach to enhancing your natural contours and achieving your desired aesthetically pleasing figure.
During the consultation, Dr. Agha will ask you about your health status, concerns, priorities, and motivations for getting a BBL. He will also walk you through the entire procedure, from preparation to recovery, so you know exactly what to expect. Dr. Agha will assess your lower body contour to ensure that you get the BBL results you want.

Dr. Agha performs BBL surgeries in a fully accredited outpatient surgery center.
The procedure's length depends on the surgery's specifics and the amount of liposuction, although, in general, each BBL procedure takes about three to four hours.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how Dr. Agha performs each BBL procedure.
Before your BBL, Dr. Agha will ask you to quit smoking for at least three weeks before the procedure. You will also be asked to temporarily stop taking certain drugs and supplements, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and aspirin, as these cause bleeding after surgery.
Make sure you arrange for a friend or family member to drive you to and from the clinic, as you won’t be able to do so after your surgery. You also need to have someone to stay with and take care of you for at least a few days after your BBL. Prepare any materials needed for your recovery, such as compression garments, antibiotics, painkillers, and gauze. Do not eat or drink anything starting from midnight before your surgery.
All Brazilian butt lift procedures are usually performed under general anesthesia since comprehensive liposuction is necessary.
First, Dr. Agha will inject a solution of local anesthesia into the intended incision site and areas marked for liposuction. Known as tumescent solution, the fluid contains a very low concentration of lidocaine and epinephrine. The fluid plumps up the fat, while lidocaine numbs the surgical site.
Epinephrine constricts the blood vessels, reducing your potential for bleeding and bruising.
Once numbing has kicked in, Dr. Agha removes fat from marked areas of your body, like your flanks, back, and saddlebags. He does this using very gentle, low-vacuum liposuction to protect the living fat cells.
The harvested fat is then washed with an antibiotic solution. After processing it, the fat is injected into the buttocks as minute droplets or micrografts. Dr. Agha uses specialized instruments and microinjection techniques to ensure optimal blood supply to the newly transplanted cells. This maximizes fat cell survival in their new location within the buttock tissues.
The fat micrografting process allows your buttocks to be contoured to your desired size and shape. Dr. Agha can greatly increase the fullness and projection of your backside by layering many fine layers of fat micrografts throughout your buttocks’ fatty tissues. Dr. Agha’s unique BBL technique ensures that as much as 80% of the transferred fat will survive in its new location. But because around 20% of the injected fat will be reabsorbed, Dr. Agha usually exaggerates grafting to ensure optimal augmentation. It also takes 6-8 weeks before the micrografted fat is fully re-vascularized. After that period, further loss of volume is minimal.
Dr. Agha carefully closes your incisions using sutures. He then applies sterile dressing on the incisions and instructs you to wear compression garments 24 hours a day for 3-4 weeks following surgery. The compression garment reduces postoperative swelling and bruising, supports your lower body during healing, and helps create the final form and shape of your backside. You will be asked to stay in the recovery room for about an hour or two before being released to your friend or family member. You may also enlist the help of a private duty nurse at home.
Please read the General Instruction Sheet as well.
If you are having a Buttocks fat transfer, then you will only have tiny liposuction incisions. Please read Liposuction Recovery Sheet as well.
Following liposuction and buttocks fat injection, you are placed in a support garment. You should plan to wear the compression garment 24 hours a day for 4-6 weeks following surgery. This will help to reduce bruising and swelling as well as skin retraction and help to shape the buttocks.
For the first two weeks after surgery, you should try to sleep on your stomach and/or side. This ensures pressure on the fat micrografts is reduced. During this time, you should avoid putting direct pressure on your buttocks for more than a few minutes at a time. If you have to sit, use a very soft donut cushion. From week three until six, you should also sit on cushions when sitting for prolonged periods.
Mild discomfort and tightness in the buttocks are common for the first 72 to 96 hours with most buttock enhancement procedures. The tightness will begin to subside after the fourth or fifth day, and the pain improves significantly.
After a few days, Vaseline or heavy lotion should be applied all over the liposuctioned areas and the buttock skin to alleviate the itchiness caused by liposuction's skin-drying effects. This is a good time for you to start massaging the fat injection areas. You should gently massage these areas three times daily for about six weeks.
After back liposuction, you will have a drain. The drain is your friend and expedites healing from inside. Drains will be removed once fluid leakage becomes minimal in 24 hours.
You may NOT shower until cleared by Dr. Agha and until your drain is removed. The first time you remove your garment, you will feel faint, which is normal. Have someone with you at that time, especially if you plan to take a warm shower.
You should be able to resume your normal daily activities within 10-14 days after a Brazilian Butt Lift. During this time, you can start gentle walking. You can do upper body exercises after two weeks. Most patients return to work within two weeks after fat grafting. Avoid exercises that directly stress the area of your surgery for six weeks. After this period, cardiovascular activities, such as riding a stationary bicycle or brisk walking, can be initiated. Avoid heavy lifting, contact sports, and jogging for up to 8 weeks.
Fat injection does not hinder your ability to have sexual relations. However, you should resume sexual activity only when you feel comfortable doing so.
I had a buttock enhancement and was nervous about it not looking natural, but Dr. Agha has a great eye and assured me that I would look fuller without looking fake. He walked me through the procedure, and all the staff the day of were amazing and calmed my nerves. I’m so happy I chose him for my surgery, and I couldn’t be happier with the results!

But remember that BBL shouldn’t be viewed as a magical cure. While it can help you achieve the backside you want, you have to make lifestyle changes to maintain your new shape. That said, you should incorporate a healthy diet and exercise regimen into your routine to make your results last longer.

Rest assured that all of these will be discussed by Dr. Agha during the consultation and before you sign your surgery consent form.
There are plenty of factors that will affect the final price of your Brazilian butt lift surgery.
The actual price depends on the extent of the procedures involved, facility fees, practice location, anesthesia costs, and your chosen plastic surgeon’s fees. Surgeons with higher expertise may charge more, but the investment is worth it for the right plastic surgeon.
The main factor is the amount of liposuction involved, as well as the number of areas you want to be liposuctioned. Some may need liposuction of their back only, while others may want to have the procedure performed on their back, abdomen, thighs, and arms. Furthermore, adding liposculpting to the procedure will take additional time and will cost more.
It’s Not Just About the Price: While the cost of a Brazilian butt lift is an important consideration, it’s equally crucial to focus on the quality of the procedure and the results. After all, you’re looking for a transformation that will enhance your confidence and happiness. So, when considering where to get your procedure, think about the final results and not just the price tag.
You should also consider other costs, such as anesthesia fees, laboratory tests, medications, post-op care, and surgical facility fees. Your location and choice of plastic surgeon will also affect your total cost.
As for insurance, BBL procedures are rarely covered. However, you can ask Dr. Agha for financing options to help you curb the cost of surgery.
