Patient Details
This 29-year-old patient (BMI 25.7) wanted to restore balanced, feminine body proportions with a naturally enhanced silhouette. While she was also interested in breast reshaping, one of her primary goals was to achieve a more defined hourglass figure with improved buttock projection, fuller lateral hips, and a slimmer waist.
Rather than simply making the buttocks larger, Dr. Mihail Climov designed a customized Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) focused on creating natural curves that complemented her body.
The procedure began with 360° power-assisted liposuction of the abdomen, waist, flanks, back, anterior axillary folds (bra rolls), and neck. This comprehensive body contouring not only sculpted her waist but also provided high-quality fat for transfer.
Instead of discarding the harvested fat, it was carefully purified and transferred using ultrasound-guided gluteal fat grafting. Fat was strategically placed to improve upper buttock projection, lateral hip fullness, and overall buttock shape, creating smooth transitions and a beautifully balanced hourglass silhouette.
Unlike buttock implants, a Brazilian Butt Lift uses the patient's own living fat to create soft, natural-looking enhancement while simultaneously improving the donor areas through liposuction.
At her postoperative follow-up, she is already demonstrating beautiful early results with a slimmer waist, enhanced buttock projection, fuller hips, and improved overall body proportions. Her final results will continue to improve as swelling resolves and the transferred fat stabilizes.
Procedures Performed
What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a body contouring procedure that enhances the buttocks using your own fat instead of implants.
Fat is gently removed through liposuction, purified, and strategically transferred to the buttocks to improve:
The true beauty of a butt fat transfer is that it enhances two areas at once—removing unwanted fat from the waist while naturally augmenting the buttocks.
Why Combine 360 Liposuction with a BBL?
The most dramatic BBL results come from creating contrast.
By sculpting the waist, flanks, and back with 360 liposuction, the buttocks appear fuller and more projected without requiring excessive fat transfer. This improves the waist-to-hip ratio, creating elegant curves that look natural from every angle.
Dr. Climov carefully customizes every fat transfer based on the patient's anatomy, focusing on shape and proportion rather than simply maximizing volume.

Dr. Mihail Climov is a fellowship-trained aesthetic plastic surgeon specializing in Brazilian Butt Lift surgery, butt fat transfer, and advanced body contouring.
His philosophy is that a successful BBL isn't measured by how much fat is injected—it's measured by how natural the final silhouette looks. Every procedure is customized to enhance the patient's unique anatomy, creating beautiful curves through a combination of 360 liposuction and ultrasound-guided gluteal fat grafting.
By focusing on waist definition, hip contour, upper buttock projection, and balanced proportions, Dr. Climov creates results that are elegant, feminine, and long-lasting.
Individual results may vary. Final outcomes continue to improve over several months as swelling resolves and the transferred fat establishes a permanent blood supply.
