What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Many people are unhappy with the appearance of their buttocks and feel that enhancing the size and shape would bring a more attractive balance to their figure. If you want to improve your contours, a Brazilian butt lift in Baltimore, Maryland with Dr. Rottman may be the perfect procedure for you.
This procedure involves the harvest of autologous (your own) fat from another area of your body which is then purified and injected into the buttocks to add roundness, lift, and volume. A Brazilian butt lift has the added benefit of slimming areas of the body with excess fat, creating a more alluring body contour.

Before and After Brazilian Butt Lift with Dr. Rottman
What to Expect from a Brazilian Butt Lift
The Brazilian butt lift procedure entails three distinct steps. You’ll be smoothly guided throughout the procedure, informed of what’s to occur next, and be able to ask any final questions at every turn. The steps involved are
- Healthy fat is safely harvested from some area of the body using liposuction. The areas from which we harvest fat most often include: the hips, thighs, abs, and lower back.
- Next, that extracted fat is purified and prepared for its new home: your derriere.
- Finally, Dr. Rottman will inject that now-purified fat into certain parts of your butt to increase its size and improve its shape.
Step 3 is the hard part, where years of Dr. Rottman’s surgical experience goes into the perfect placement of fat, and safely so.
Recovery from a Brazilian Butt Lift
One of the most difficult aspects of recovery from a Brazilian butt lift is not pain, which is readily managed with medication, but the fact that you cannot sit or lie on your buttocks for three to four weeks following the procedure. You will be required to sleep on your side or stomach, and stand for other activities. While this may be a little difficult initially, it is well worth the result.
After your butt lift, we carefully monitor the progress of every patient, and once your healing has advanced, we will teach you how to sit without placing undue pressure on the buttocks. Regular, normal sitting is possible after about eight weeks. Plan on two to three weeks off work so you have sufficient time to heal, and your body is ready to sit without harming the new fat cells as they establish themselves in your buttocks.
Results
Of the new fat transfered into your buttocks, 65 to 75 percent of it will survive and thrive, effectively accentuating the curves and contours of your butt. Thus, to begin, for a short period after your surgery, your butt will actually look bigger than it will end up. When that 25 - 35 percent of fat has been metabolized and your butt arrives at its final shape and size, those new attractive looks and feels are going to last for several years to come, if not for decades.
Cost of a Brazilian Butt Lift
The approximate average cost of a BBL in Baltimore with Dr. Rottman is around $14,500. This fee is inclusive of all steps of the procedure, including the liposuction required, usually, on multiple areas of the body, as well as then injecting it into the buttocks, and contains the cost of anesthesia, hospital/surgical facilities, and your surgeon’s fee. As patients and their goals vary greatly, we can provide an exact cost following a personal consultation.

A Q&A with Dr. Rottman
Brazilian Butt Lift - Should I choose a fat transfer or implants for my butt enhancement, and why?
Enhancing the appearance of your buttocks can significantly improve your body’s contour and proportion. However, selecting the best method for buttock enhancement—whether through fat transfer or buttock implants—demands careful consideration. Each option offers unique advantages and disadvantages, suited to different needs and expectations. In this guide, we’ll explore the pros and cons of both procedures to help you make an informed decision that aligns with your aesthetic goals.
Fat transfer, also known as a Brazilian Butt Lift, involves using your own body fat to augment and reshape your buttocks. The procedure begins with liposuction, during which a skilled surgeon like Dr. Steven Rottman harvests fat from other areas of your body, such as the abdomen or thighs. This fat is then purified and injected into the buttocks to achieve a fuller and more elevated appearance.
PROS
- Natural feel and look – Since the procedure uses your own body fat, the results tend to look and feel more natural compared to implants.
- Dual benefit – Fat transfer offers the added advantage of contouring areas where fat is harvested, providing an overall more sculpted appearance.
- Lower risk of rejection – The risk of your body rejecting the material is minimal since the fat used is your own.
CONS
- Variable absorption – Your body may resorb a significant portion of the transferred fat, leading to less predictable outcomes and possibly requiring additional treatments.
- Limited volume increase – There’s a limit to how much fat can be safely harvested and transferred, which might not suffice for patients desiring a significant increase in buttock size.
BUTTOCK IMPLANTS:
Buttock implants involve the surgical insertion of artificial devices into the buttocks to create volume and shape. This option is often considered by patients who lack enough body fat for a transfer or want a more noticeable butt augmentation but the cons outweigh the benefits.
CONS
- High Risk of complications – As with any surgery involving implants, there’s a risk of infection, shifting, and the need for implant removal or replacement.
- Longer recovery time – The healing process for buttock implants is generally longer and might be more uncomfortable compared to fat transfer.
