Good candidates for a Brazilian Butt Lift at Dr. Forest S. Roth's Upper Kirby, Houston practice are adults with adequate donor fat in the abdomen, flanks, or thighs who want enhanced buttock volume and shape. Candidates must be in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations. A consultation with Dr. Roth will determine whether you have sufficient donor fat for the procedure.

A Brazilian Butt Lift with Dr. Forest S. Roth, MD, FACS involves two steps: liposuction to harvest fat from donor areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, followed by careful purification and injection of that fat into the buttocks. Dr. Roth strategically places the fat to achieve a natural-looking lift and improved proportion. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately two to four hours.

BBL patients at Dr. Roth's Upper Kirby, Houston office typically experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort for two to four weeks. Sitting directly on the buttocks is restricted during initial recovery — patients use a BBL pillow when seated. Most patients return to desk work within two weeks and resume normal activity after four to six weeks.

Liposuction incisions used during a Brazilian Butt Lift are very small — typically less than a centimeter — and placed in discreet locations. Under Dr. Forest Roth's care in Upper Kirby, Houston, these incisions heal well and are rarely noticeable once fully healed.

Initial results are visible immediately after surgery, though swelling can temporarily obscure the final shape. As swelling resolves over two to three months, the transferred fat settles and the final contour becomes clear. Results achieved by Dr. Forest S. Roth, MD, FACS are long-lasting when maintained with a stable weight.

Patient safety is a primary concern in every BBL performed at Dr. Roth's Upper Kirby, Houston practice.

Roth, MD, FACS is board-certified and follows evidence-based safety guidelines, including careful fat injection technique designed to minimize serious complications. All procedures are performed in an accredited surgical facility with a thorough pre-operative evaluation.
