Depending on the size of the patient and the number of areas being treated with liposuction a fat transfer to the buttock can take from 2-4 hours. Consult with a few plastic surgeons to determine if you are a good candidate.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

The BBL can take anywhere between 2-4 hours. The duration for a Brazillian butt lift varies depending on the size of the patient, the number of areas to be addressed with liposuction, if its a standalone BBL or if complete body contouring is planned along with the BBL.

A Brazilian Butt Lift better known as BBL, procedural time can vary from 2-4 hours depending on the areas that are been sculpted with liposuction in order to gather that fat and re injected it in the buttock area. Also, it is really common that this surgery gets combined with a Tummy Tuck, Body Tite, Liposuction 360, so the more there is to it the longer the Surgery will take

Robert F. Centeno, MD, FACS · Answer

THe duration of a BBL procedure depends greatly on the amount of fat that needs to be suctioned for transfer.  Small cases take about 2.5-3 hours, larger cases 3.5-4 hours.  Hope that helps.
