Brazilian Butt Lift
A Brazilian Butt Lift uses your own fat, harvested through liposuction, to build shape and volume in the buttocks. The result is meant to look like you, only more so.
What Patients Say
Is Brazilian Butt Lift Right for You?
Answer a few quick questions to see if brazilian butt lift could be a good fit for you — or take the full Renewal Assessment for a comprehensive treatment plan.
What to Expect
A Brazilian Butt Lift builds natural curves from what your body already has. Dr. McGovern harvests fat from areas where you have too much of it and transfers it, carefully and by hand, into your buttocks for a fuller, rounder shape.
Ideal Candidates
This suits you if you want fuller, rounder buttocks, have enough donor fat available, and are at a stable weight.
The Consultation
Dr. McGovern will evaluate your donor sites, talk with you about the shape and projection you want, and explain how the fat transfer works.
The Procedure
Fat is harvested through liposuction, purified, then placed carefully into the buttocks. The procedure takes 3 to 4 hours.
Recovery
Avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for 2-3 weeks. Sleep on your stomach. 60-80% of the transferred fat survives permanently.
Artistry Meets Precision
Dr. McGovern builds her BBL technique around safety as much as shape. She harvests and purifies fat with care, using precise methods that help the transferred fat cells survive.
Her artistic eye creates natural, proportionate curves — sculpting both the donor sites and buttocks for a harmonious overall silhouette.
Plan Your Downtime
Fat transfer has two recovery stories running at once — the donor site where fat was harvested, and the recipient site where it was injected.
Both sites settle in
The area of fat injection will be swollen and tender, and you may have some bruising. A small donor area requires no specific treatment. If the donor site is larger, tape may have been placed over the suctioned area.

Remove taped gauze over a larger donor site to shower after 24–48 hours; reapply gauze if needed.
If a compression garment was placed, you may remove it temporarily for comfort or laundering.
