If you reside in Houston or its surrounding areas and are considering BBL, you are fortunate to have access to a highly skilled and experienced plastic surgeon, Dr Paul Fortes.

Unleash Your Inner Goddess
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a surgical procedure that involves removing fat from one area of the body and grafting it to the buttocks to create a more shapely and contoured appearance. This procedure is also known as "butt augmentation" or "fat grafting."
Fat micrografting is an operative technique that involves adding mature fat cells and undifferentiated “stem” cells to a region of the body that needs volume to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. The fat and stem cells typically are harvested from a separate region of the body that is excessively full of fat. The harvested fat is processed for immediate injection (micro grafting) into the area where the additional fullness is desired. Any region of the body and face can be fat micro-grafted, but the most commonly grafted areas are the buttocks, the face, and any region of contour depression or irregularity.
Fat micrografting is the “addition” part of the “addition-subtraction” body contouring equation that pairs micrografting with liposuction and liposculpture. The final results of fat micro grafting and liposculpture can be dramatic and transforming. The technique is safe and reliable, and the results can last a lifetime! The allure of BBL lies in its ability to address a common concern among individuals seeking body contouring procedures – the desire for a natural-looking enhancement. Unlike butt implants, which rely on foreign objects to achieve volume, BBL utilizes the patient's own fat, ensuring seamless integration with their natural body contour.
Embrace Your Curves
BBL offers a range of benefits that contribute to enhanced body contour and overall confidence:
Enhanced Buttock Shape and Volume
The procedure effectively increases the size and improves the shape of the buttocks, creating a more shapely and balanced silhouette.
Improved Overall Body Contour
BBL enhances the buttocks and contributes to a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing overall body contour.
Creation of a Youthful Appearance
A well-sculpted and fuller buttocks can contribute to a more youthful appearance, boosting self-esteem and overall confidence.
Enhanced Self-Confidence
Achieving a desired body shape and contour can significantly improve self-image and confidence, promoting a positive self-perception.
Tailoring Your Buttocks
The Brazilian Butt Lift process begins with a comprehensive consultation with board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Paul Fortes. During this consultation, Dr. Fortes will discuss your goals for the procedure, carefully evaluate your medical history, and address any concerns you may have. Dr. Fortes will thoroughly assess your anatomy, including the shape and volume of your buttocks and the availability of fat for grafting from donor areas. Dr. Fortes will also discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure in detail, ensuring that you are fully informed and prepared before making a decision.
Experience Natural Enhancement
Most patients experience immediate results after BBL, with noticeable enhancement in the shape and volume of the buttocks. However, it may take several weeks for the full results to become apparent as swelling subsides and the fat grafts settle into place. With proper post-operative care and maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle, the results of BBL can be long-lasting. Patients can enjoy the enhanced appearance of their buttocks and the overall improved body contour for years to come.
For Size and Shape
Following the Houston BBL procedure, patients can expect some mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising in the treatment areas. The surgeon will provide detailed instructions on post-operative care, including minimizing these side effects and promoting optimal healing. Patients will typically be advised to rest for several days following the procedure and avoid strenuous activity. They may also be prescribed pain medication to manage discomfort. In some cases, a compression garment may be recommended to provide support and reduce swelling.
To prepare for your procedure, you will need to stop smoking, avoid taking certain medications, and maintain a healthy weight. Your surgeon will provide you with specific instructions.
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) and buttock implants are both procedures that can enhance the shape and volume of the buttocks. However, they differ in the technique used. BBL involves removing fat from one area of the body and grafting it to the buttocks. This creates a natural-looking enhancement that blends seamlessly with the patient's own tissue. Buttock implants involve inserting implants into the buttocks to increase their size. Implants are available in a variety of shapes and sizes to achieve the desired look.
BBL is a safe procedure when performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon. However, there are some risks associated with the procedure, including:
The risk of fat embolism is a rare but serious complication that can occur when fat enters the bloodstream and travels to the lungs. This can be a life-threatening condition.
The best way to minimize the risks of BBL is to choose a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon. You should also follow your surgeon's instructions carefully after the procedure.
