Overview
A Brazilian butt lift, or BBL, adds fullness and shape to the buttocks using your own fat instead of implants. At Acadia Women’s Health in Crowley, our surgeons remove fat from areas like the stomach, waist, or thighs through liposuction, then carefully process it and reinject it to lift and round the buttocks. Because it uses your own fat, the result tends to look and feel natural, and you get some slimming in the areas the fat came from as a bonus.
A BBL is really two steps working together. First, your surgeon uses liposuction to remove fat from areas where you have a little extra, often the waist, abdomen, back, or thighs. That fat is then purified and injected into specific spots in the buttocks and hips to build shape and lift.
There is a lot of noise online about BBLs. Our approach is simpler: honest answers, experienced surgeons, and a plan that actually fits your body.

The benefits
The result depends a lot on where the fat is taken from and where it is placed, which is why experience matters here. Dr. Gonzalez and Dr. Owens plan each of those decisions around your frame and the shape you are going for, so the result looks balanced and like it belongs on your body.
No implants are involved, which is a big part of why many women prefer this option. The result tends to feel more natural than an implant would. And because the fat has to come from somewhere, the areas it is taken from get slimmer as part of the same procedure.
An honest word
We want to be straight with you, because this procedure gets talked about a lot. A BBL is a real surgery, and like any surgery, it carries risks. The good news is that outcomes are strongly tied to the experience and technique of the surgeon doing it, and that is exactly where our team stands out.
We take safety seriously. We will go over your health history, what the procedure involves, and what to expect before, during, and after, so you can make an informed decision. We would rather you ask every question you have than sit at home guessing. Nothing about this should feel rushed.
One more honest note. A BBL uses your own fat, so you need a certain amount of it available to move. If you are very lean, we will talk through whether this is the right fit or whether another approach makes more sense. We would rather tell you the truth up front than promise something that will not work for your body.
What to expect
Here is the general path, start to finish. We will be with you at each step.
Even after your procedure is done, we are still available if questions come up. Recovery looks different for everyone, and a BBL has some specific aftercare around how you sit and rest early on. We will walk you through all of it clearly rather than handing you a one-size-fits-all sheet.
01
Free consultation
We talk through your goals, look at whether a BBL fits your body, and lay out a realistic plan and timeframe. No pressure to decide anything that day.
02
Deposit and pre-op
Once you are ready, you reserve your surgery date, then come in for your pre-op appointment and lab work so you are cleared and prepared.
03
The procedure
Your surgeon performs the liposuction and fat transfer.
04
Post-op follow-up
We check your healing and answer questions as they come up, including the specific aftercare around sitting.
Because the area stays numb for hours afterward, post-surgery discomfort is often reduced compared with traditional approaches.
Every woman is different, so the real answer comes from a consultation. One thing to know before you come in is that a BBL uses your own fat, so you need a certain amount available elsewhere on your body to transfer. If you are very lean, we will talk through whether this is the right fit or whether another approach makes more sense.
A lot of women think about this for years before they ever ask. You do not have to be one hundred percent ready to get information. Come in, get real answers, and decide from there.
You may be a good candidate if
You want a fuller, more lifted, or more rounded shape
Your buttocks feel flat, saggy, uneven, or small in proportion to the rest of your body
Weight loss has changed the shape of your buttocks
You have enough fat elsewhere on your body to transfer, which we will check together
You are in good general health with realistic expectations about the result
Combine & save
Because a BBL begins with liposuction, it naturally overlaps with our other body contouring procedures. Many women address the midsection at the same time.
Real results
Dr. Michelle Owens, Dr. John Gonzalez, and Dr. Donald Balder all perform BBL surgeries at Acadia Women’s Health, with more than 70 years of combined medical experience. Over the years, they have helped many women through this procedure.

“You worked a miracle on my body. I can’t thank you enough. I never liked my body, and I hated looking in the mirror. Now I love how I look. I feel like I can actually live my life now. Thank you.” - BBL patient of Dr. Gonzalez
