Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery in Mullica Hill, NJ
Many women — and men — are not satisfied with the size or shape of their buttocks. With advanced techniques and surgical and artistic skills, board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Sean Bidic and Dr. Vinay S. Gundlapalli can improve the appearance of your buttocks.
Our practice offers buttock augmentation by combining liposuction of the back, thighs, and hips with fat transfer to the buttocks (often called a Brazilian butt lift). The surgeons perform this body contouring procedure in Mullica Hill for South Jersey, the Jersey Shore, and surrounding communities. For certain cases, they will also excise tissue above the buttock to raise the tissues — like a breast lift for the buttock.
If you want to enhance your buttocks, choose an accomplished plastic surgeon who will surpass your expectations for your surgery and your results. Request your consultation online, or call 856-362-8898 to schedule your appointment with Dr. Bidic or Dr. Gundlapalli.
Brazilian Butt Lift Before And After
Are You a Good Candidate for Buttock Augmentation?
Buttock augmentation is becoming increasingly popular — both at American Surgical Arts and throughout the country — with women and men who would like to add curves and fullness to their rear ends. You may be a good candidate for this procedure if you are in good health, don't smoke, and have one or more of the following motivations:
- You have tried unsuccessfully to build and shape your buttocks through exercise.
- Your buttocks have become lax and flattened after weight loss or as you've gotten older.
- You feel that you don't fill out clothing the way you'd like to.
Your surgeon can further accentuate your curves by combining buttock enhancement with a tummy tuck or post-weight-loss procedures, such as a thigh lift or a body lift.
A Consultation That's All About You
Choosing which method is right for you can be difficult. Dr. Bidic and Dr. Gundlapalli have extensive experience with fat transfer buttock augmentation. Taking your aesthetic desires and unique anatomy into consideration, they will advise you on which techniques provide the best option for your needs.
Buttock Augmentation Methods
All methods of buttock augmentation require general anesthesia, and you will need someone to drive you to and from your surgery. Here’s what to know about each of the surgical methods we offer:
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a popular method that involves fat transfer to enhance your buttocks' shape and size. This procedure offers natural-looking results and the added benefit of body contouring.
The process begins with liposuction, where the surgeon harvests excess fat from areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or back. Once the fat is collected, we purify it to ensure we’re only using healthy fat cells. Your doctor then strategically injects the purified fat into the buttocks at various depths and locations to achieve the desired shape and volume.
Fat Grafting/Fat Transfer
Fat grafting, or fat transfer, is another technique our doctors use to shape the buttocks. While similar to the BBL, fat grafting is typically more focused on smaller, more precise enhancements rather than the overall volume increase seen with BBL. This method also involves harvesting fat from other parts of the body through liposuction. The collected fat is then processed and injected into the buttocks to enhance their size and contour.
Excisional Buttock Lift
We also offer the excisional buttock lift, a surgical procedure that primarily addresses sagging or excess skin in the buttocks area. This method involves making incisions to remove the excess skin and tighten the underlying tissues, resulting in a firmer and more lifted appearance. While this procedure does not add volume like fat grafting or a BBL, it’s a great option for patients who have experienced significant weight loss or have skin laxity due to aging.
What About Gluteal Implants?
The use of gluteal implants is permitted in the United States; however, these implants do not currently have approval from the FDA. Breast implants do not serve as a viable alternative for gluteal implants as they are not designed for the buttocks. They produce an unnatural shape and are very susceptible to rupture.
Benefits and Goals of Brazilian Butt Lift
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) offers multiple benefits, making it a popular choice for those looking to enhance their buttocks' appearance naturally. Here are some of the key benefits and goals of the procedure:
- Enhanced Shape and Size: Achieves a fuller, rounder, and more proportionate buttock appearance.
- Natural-Looking Results: Uses your own body's fat, reducing the risk of rejection.
- Dual Benefit: Combines body contouring and buttock enhancement.
- Fat Removal: Eliminates unwanted fat from areas like the abdomen, flanks, and thighs.
- Boosts Confidence: Can significantly enhance self-confidence and body image.
- Improved Clothing Fit: Helps you fill out your clothing better.

Preparing for Your Buttock Augmentation Surgery
Preparing for your buttock augmentation surgery is essential for optimal results and a smooth recovery. Here are key steps to follow:
- Follow Preoperative Instructions: Avoid medications like aspirin and blood thinners. Quit smoking several weeks before the procedure, as it can impede healing.
- Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle: Eat a balanced diet, stay hydrated, and exercise regularly to keep your body in optimal condition.
- Arrange Post-Surgery Care: Have someone drive you home and assist you for the first few days. Prepare a comfortable recovery area at home.
- Adhere to Specific Guidelines: Fast before surgery and wash with antibacterial soap the night before and the morning of your procedure to minimize infection risk.
What to Expect During Butt Augmentation Recovery
After buttock augmentation, you should not sit on the buttocks or lie on your back for two to three weeks. During this time, you will wear a compression garment to promote comfort and healing. Discomfort, bruising, and swelling – both at the liposuction sites and in the buttocks – are all to be expected following this procedure. Most patients return to work two weeks after their buttock augmentation and resume their typical daily activities within four weeks.
