Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
Los Angeles is the home of celebrity beauty trends, and the Brazilian butt lift (BBL) certainly qualifies as a procedure that’s become extremely popular because of a few well-known patients. The surgery takes fat from an area of the body where it’s unwanted and uses it to enhance the buttocks, providing the best of both worlds. Women and men considering a Brazilian butt lift travel from Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, and throughout the South Bay to our Torrance plastic surgery practice to have our board-certified plastic surgeons perform the procedure.
What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Our doctors at South Bay Plastic Surgeons use modern fat grafting techniques to perform Brazilian butt lift surgery. Despite the name, the procedure creates a more rounded shape, but doesn’t actually lift sagging buttocks. (That’s achieved with a body contouring procedure called a butt lift.) Fat grafting—also called fat transfer—is a 3-step process that includes using liposuction to remove fat from an area of the body, such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs; purifying it; then transferring it to the buttocks.
A Reputation Built on Results
Aug 27, 2020
Getting a Breast Augmentation was something that I have always wanted to do. Being in the foster care system taught me to be an independent woman, and as a part of that, I sought out to fix something about myself I was never truly comfortable with. It didn’t take long to find the perfect match for me. Once I found my team, I didn’t think twice. To Rachel the “Bra Fitter”, thank you for always making me feel comfortable during those awkward times of the fittings, and ensuring me that I was always in good hands. If they had a sales position for your job, you would be the best, and your communication was unparalleled. To Dr. Burrell the “Mastermind”, thank you for helping me trust doctors again. I trusted you implicitly with every direction that we took. You are so skilled in what you do and the passion you have for your job shows in every conversation we had. To Krishna the “Sweetest Receptionist”, thank you for welcoming me with open arms. I have had so many horrible interactions when it came to doctors’ offices, and your awesome smile made me feel like home. I never knew offices like yours could be so welcoming. Though you are the first face everyone sees when you walk in, I am honored that you took so much time out of your day to check in on me. To Olga the “Unbelievable Recovery Nurse”, thank you for walking me through my day-of procedures and what to expect. You handled my fear of needles like a champ, and I know I am not easy to deal with when it comes to “the poke”. I was so nervous before, but your calming bedside manner made me feel as though I was talking to my very own best friend. To Dr. Patel the “Vein Champagne Supplier”, thank you for being by my side. You knew exactly what to say to keep me calm. Our pre-operation call was like speaking to someone’s mother. You walked me through everything step by step and knowing you were by my side during the surgery made it all the more easy! To Chelsea the “Nurse with the biggest smile”, thank you for keeping my emotions high. Your demeanor made me feel so comfortable! Last but not least, to Cara the “Raddest Nurse”. How could you forget a girl like her? She was amazing. From the moment she walked in the room, I knew I was in good hands. You were so gentle, and I could tell you cared. It’s often easy to forget about all the people that made this happen, and if I did, I apologize-must be the drugs! I am beyond thrilled with everything so far, and even more, I am so happy to have been surrounded by such amazing people throughout this journey. If you are looking for a place to go, this is the absolute best choice in the South Bay! -Madison Lucci

Dr Newman and Dr Liang both have great bedside manners!! Dr Newman is a perfectionist in my opinion, I have had a few surgeries for breast reconstruction (due to breast cancer) and I fully trust his judgement when making decisions during surgery, and I am 💯 % pleased with each outcome! The front office staff is amazing as well. The office is warm and welcoming!

Ni Jui Liang, MD performed surgery to remove cancer in my arm. From the first visit until the last Dr. Liang and the staff at South Bay Plastic Surgery were amazing. Not only are they incredibly nice and courteous but Dr. Liang is a miracle worker! When my surgery was done I had many stitches and expected to have a horrible scar. To make things even more difficult he had to work on an area where my wife's name was tattooed. Somehow he was able to remove the cancer sew my arm back and you can't even see a scar!!! Thank you so much for your amazing skills and your great bedside manner. I would highly recommend them to everyone. And my wife is so happy that her name is still boldly emblazoned on my arm and in my heart. Thank you again Dr. Liang and South Bay Plastic Surgery Charlie Woods

Great experience with Dr. Liang! I lost over 100 lbs naturally and after my breast looked completely deflated. The whole process was made easy by Dr. Liang and the staff at South Bay Plastic Surgeons. They were very helpful and always made me feel comfortable. I am now 2 months post op from having an augmentation and lift and I couldn’t be happier. They are full and lifted and feel completely natural. I had an overall great experience and I recommend Dr. Liang highly.

Lou at South Bay Plastic Surgeons did an amazing job on my various lines on my face....I have had so many people coming up to me asking what kind of facial regimen I use and I tell them it’s all Lou....I have 3 other friends that swear by her, she is so good at injections...it doesn’t hurt! Thank you Lou and Southbay Plastic Surgeons for your professional service!

Dr. Newman is the best! I recommend him to all of my friends and family! I have had multiple procedures with Dr. Newman and I cannot express how happy I truly am! Dr. Newman and all of the staff were very helpful throughout the entire process. Even on Christmas eve when I had a concern, Dr. Newman himself called me back to address my needs. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Dr. Newman and the staff for bringing back some needed confidence into my life!!

After my mastectomy in 2014, Dr. Spenler performed my reconstruction surgeries (insertion of expander then later replacement with implant). I cannot speak more highly of him. Dr. Spenler is an excellent surgeon and a caring person. The office runs very efficiently and all the personnel there helped me navigate my way through the whole experience. I am so happy that 4 1/2 years ago, I chose South Bay Plastic Surgeons to be a part of my journey through breast cancer/reconstruction. I have had zero complications and now happily back to my new normal.

Life can throw some zingers. At 60 I got the news of breast cancer. Modern medicine and superb medical professionals got me through two lumpectomies and radiation treatment without missing a beat with our retirement travels. Then at 68 I got the news that I had breast cancer again. This time I elected to have a bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction. I had a surgeon for the mastectomy in mind but did not have a clue as to who to go to for the reconstruction. Dr Whitney Burrell came highly recommended by my surgeon. My oncologist was happy with my selection and put me in their caring hands. Dr Burrell is down-to-earth and no-nonsense – an approach that resonates well with me. I looked forward to my weekly visits during reconstruction. Her sunny personality brightened my day. I am now finished and very happy with the results. It is important to find a team of doctors that you feel comfortable with and believe in and that work well together as doctors. I believe it made my recovery so much easier. I highly recommend Dr Whitney Burrell for breast reconstruction surgery. She is a highly skilled and caring plastic surgeon. I also commend the support team Dr Burrell works with at South Bay Plastic Surgeons. They are well trained professionals. The staff works out of a suite of rooms that are nicely appointed, simple, clean, and efficiently organized. My office visits were very pleasant and comfortable as well as timely.

Lou at South Bay Plastic Surgeons made me feel so much better about myself. I have hated, the lines around my mouth, jawls (as I call them) and the lines at the top of my head. It's bothered me for years but I finally did something about it. She used fillers, and Botox to take away the aging I was feeling. I was just around several friends at a party and they said I looked so rested and younger looking, what was my secret??? The greatest thing is no one suspected I had Botox or fillers done. That's what made me so happy. I never wanted people thinking of me ......"OMG what did that lady do to her face". This was so natural looking, nothing drastic so my friends just thought I was taking better care of my skin. I can't thank Lou and the team at South Bay Plastic Surgeons for making me feel younger!
May 17, 2018
Dr Burrel is a very talented surgeon and has such an amazing and positive vibe. I am truly grateful she was the one to do my reconstruction after my mastectomy in 2016. I highly recommend her and her team.

Dr Mewman is the best surgeon, you’re in the best hands! His beside manners are genuine and he truly cares for his patients. I don’t worry about my outcome because Dr Newman is the best of the best and really cares about his patients! He is helping me get my life back after my double mastectomy and I trust him completely! Thanks again for all you do not just for me but all your patience! 💗

I cannot thank Dr. Newman and his wonderful staff enough for the amazing results from breast reconstruction after a double mastectomy. Dr. Newman is everything one would hope for in a doctor...kind, calm, answers any and all questions, and above all, his work is second to none. If you are looking for a top notch plastic surgeon in the South Bay, look no further.

My experience with Dr. Michael Newman and the entire staff at South Bay Plastic Surgeons has been phenomenal from the first visit through my post op appointments! My journey began with a consult visit with Dr. Newman and Yvette, his Patient Care Coordinator. Dr. Newman asked several questions to understand my decision to have breast augmentation surgery and shared detailed information I needed to make the best decision for my body type and size preference. When he exited the fun began with Yvette providing me with a bra so we could determine my desired implant size, then on to 3D simulation imaging so I could somewhat envision the size I selected. Yvette was delightful, humorous, and answered all my questions without hesitation offering her opinion only if I asked. I even received a complimentary SBPS t-shirt...thanks guys! At the surgical center, Dr. Newman's bedside manner was gentle, encouraging, confident and very professional; consistent characteristics I've recognized throughout my pre and post op visits with him. And by the way, my surgery was a huge success, recovery uneventful, and my desired results achieved 100%!! Overall, I can't say enough positive comments about SBPS from the front office, medical assistants, patient coordinators, to my surgeon Dr. Newman. My surgery was in July and I continue to have the same positive experience with each post op visit. Thanks to each of you for making my very serious and personal decision to have breast augmentation surgery one of the best decisions I've ever made!
Jul 17, 2015
This was definitely as good as it gets. Before I went to SBPS I did a bunch of research on who and where I wanted to get my breast augmentation done by, I also work in a hospital and every person I came across gave me Dr. Newman's name to go and get a consultation with him and so I did. It was the best choice i could of made. He was absolutely amazing in every way, he was extremely helpful and made me feel comfortable every time I saw him. I was a B cup before going into surgery we agreed on a mutual size and put in 475cc, I went in feeling extremely comfortable with the size and came out of the surgery feeling even more confident then before. I have always been an athlete and my weight fluctuates pretty often so I had a little asymmetry going into the surgery and the implants completely fixed it for me. I would recommend Dr. Newman to anyone and everyone because he truly is the best at what he does, he looks for the best interest of the patients health and well being and will give you nothing but honest opinions and help you along your beauty makeover. I hope many of you find this as helpful in your decision.

Thank you Dr. Spenler for taking your time with me and always making me feel like all my questions are answered and explained fully. 🙂

Dr. Newman was my fifth and final consult for a breast augmentation. When I met him, I knew he was someone who was trustworthy, knowledgeable, honest, and competent. He's got extensive training with doctors who've innovated breast augmentation surgery. I've gone to four doctors in Beverly Hills and they do not hold up to Dr. Newman's professionalism. His pricing is very competitive and there's a lot of options regarding where you can get your procedure done. His staff is wonderful and registration was an easy process. There's no tricks, no gimmicks. What he says is what you really can expect. I've had some apprehension with other doctors I've seen but Dr. Newman made me feel so much at ease. I'm so excited to schedule my surgery!

I LOVE SBPS! Dr. Newman took wonderful care of me after my breast cancer diagnosis-I was TOTALLY satisfied & amazed with his numerous reconstruction surgeries for me, as well as his kind and caring concern & response to my needs. I am now blessed to be cancer free & use the other wonderful services SBPS offer! I HIGHLY recommend them, they are awesome and I am forever grateful for their care. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had opted for a double mastectomy. I was given the name of Dr. Newman for reconstructive surgery. I was frightened, and worried. I wasn't sure what to expect or what was entailed. Upon arrival at his office, I was greeted with a warm smile, his office is soothing and I found Dr. Newman to be calm and compassionate. Dr. Newman did the reconstruction, and follow up surgeries. Still unsure of the outcome, I was a bit wary. Treatment of breast cancer can be a long process. Over the course of time, and many office visits, I was always greeted with a warm smile, and always kindness from his staff. Dr. Newman never made me feel rushed or in a hurry. Every step of the process was explained in detail. I was quite surprised how natural my results were. I feel great, I thought I would feel self conscience about my appearance, and was worried about scarring. I have very minimal scars and am so grateful for my outcome. I feel so blessed to have come through this whole process without fear, and I have Dr. Newman and his staff to thank for my easy journey.

The Fat Transfer Process
In addition to Brazilian butt lift surgery, fat transfer can also be used for natural breast enhancement and as a filler for facial rejuvenation. The fat transfer technique always involves these 3 steps:
- Liposuction
- Spinning extracted fatty tissue to remove impurities
- Injecting the purified fat into the buttocks
Synthetic implants for buttocks enhancement remain an option, but the Brazilian butt lift is much more common. Because it uses a patient’s own fat, the procedure is natural and the fat that survives the transfer process provides better results.
Our surgeons use various methods to process the fat, taking care to avoid damaging the cells. They then inject the concentrated fat in small droplets, allowing blood vessels to grow into the fat and allowing the fat cells to live permanently in their new location. The body absorbs some of the injected fat, which is accounted for during the process.
Meet Our Surgeons
Our team of plastic surgeons provides an unmatched combination of training, experience and specialization for optimal care.
Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery
One thing to remember about the recovery after a Brazilian butt lift is that there are 2 treatment areas that must heal—the liposuction site and the buttocks. It takes most patients about 2 weeks for the bruising and swelling to gradually resolve. Our surgeons provide detailed post-op instructions that should be followed closely. You will need to wear a special compression garment that helps reduce swelling and enhance healing where your surgeon performed liposuction.
You also need to avoid sitting or lying directly on your buttocks for several weeks. We can recommend special pillows designed to prevent putting direct pressure on the buttocks. Visible results emerge gradually for several months as the body absorbs some of the fat and blood vessels attach to fat cells. Even though there is some inconvenience and discomfort during the initial stages of the recovery, most of our patients say the results exceed their expectations and they’re very happy with their new contours.
If you’re looking in the Torrance area for fat transfer specialists to perform Brazilian butt lift surgery, request a consultation using our online form or call South Bay Plastic Surgeons at (310) 784-0644 and one of our helpful staff members will schedule your appointment.
