Butt Liftin Scottsdale, Arizona
Imagine that you could take your stubborn, excess, and unwanted fat from places like your stomach, arms, and thighs and put it in your buttock area to achieve an hourglass, curvaceously round figure. A butt lift in Scottsdale could help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
What is a Butt Lift?
The butt lift uses advanced liposuction and fat transfer techniques to permanently enhance and amplify your butt, giving you a curvy silhouette. Liposuction targets and removes stubborn fat from areas you feel are problematic. Many of our patients choose to remove fat from their thighs, hips, stomach, lower back, and underarms. Dr. Stutman transfers the unwanted fat into your butt to amplify your figure.

View the galleryAm I a Good Candidate for a Butt Lift?
There are strict criteria for patients to have a butt lift in Scottsdale safely. You will have to be personally assessed by Dr. Stutman to determine your eligibility, but you should be in good overall health, close to or at your ideal body weight, and a nonsmoker.
During your consultation with Dr. Stutman, you will be required to share:
- Your medical and surgical history
- Family health history
- Lifestyle choices
- Medication use
- Supplement use
- Recreational drug use
Before approving you for surgery, Dr. Stutman may want you to make lifestyle changes to ensure that you are an ideal candidate, such as quitting smoking.
Rest and Recovery from Your Butt Lift
Most patients can return to a non-physical job within two weeks of the procedure. However, for approximately the first two weeks, you will have to refrain from sitting. You will be provided with a special pillow to sit on that will help relieve pressure on your bottom.
Around the sixth week following your procedure, the transferred fat should be fully grafted and stabilized. At this point in your recovery, or as directed by Dr. Stutman, you can resume a normal activity level.
You can expect that your final results will be visible about six months after the procedure, and they will be permanent.
During your recovery period, it is essential to walk and move as much as possible, drink plenty of fluids, and wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and speed healing.
These are general recovery guidelines. During your consultation, you will receive more comprehensive and personalized directions from Dr. Stutman to aid your recovery.
What If I Don’t Have Enough Fat for a Butt Lift?
The beauty of the butt lift in Scottsdale is that it requires transferring fat from areas you feel are problematic to your butt. However, some of our patients do not have sufficient excess fat. If this is your situation, we may recommend that you obtain a buttocks augmentation with silicone implants.
In the butt implant procedure, your implants will be surgically placed in the middle of the gluteus maximus muscle. This ensures that the edges of the implants are less visible and, therefore, difficult to see or feel. It also helps the implants to move with the buttocks as one unit, making it difficult for others to tell that you have implants.

FAQs
Is a Brazilian butt lift safe?
A Brazilian butt lift carries more serious risk than most cosmetic surgeries, so safety depends heavily on who performs it and how. The most dangerous complication, fat embolism, happens when fat enters large veins in or beneath the buttock muscle. Current safety guidance from plastic surgery societies calls for placing fat only in the layer above the muscle.
Can I sit after a BBL?
Not right away. Sitting puts pressure on the newly transferred fat while it is establishing a blood supply, which can reduce how much survives. Dr. Stutman asks patients to avoid sitting during the early part of recovery and provides a special pillow that relieves pressure on the buttocks when sitting cannot be avoided.
Will all of the fat stay after a BBL?
No. Some of the transferred fat is naturally reabsorbed by the body in the months after surgery, which is expected with any fat transfer. Fat cells that establish a blood supply generally stay and behave like the rest of your fat. That is why the final result takes time to judge and why protecting the area during recovery matters.
Am I too thin for a BBL?
You might be. A BBL needs enough spare fat in donor areas to contour those areas and add meaningful volume to the buttocks. Very lean patients often do not have enough. If that is your situation, Dr. Stutman may suggest buttock implants instead, or explain whether a smaller fat transfer could still help.
Is a BBL the same as a butt lift?
Not exactly. A Brazilian butt lift adds volume and shape using your own fat and does not remove skin. A traditional buttock lift removes loose, sagging skin, often after major weight loss, and leaves a longer scar. Dr. Stutman's butt lift uses liposuction and fat transfer, so it is the fat transfer type.
Is Dr. Stutman board certified to perform a BBL?
Yes. Dr. Stutman is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Because a BBL carries more serious risk than many cosmetic procedures, confirming your surgeon's board certification in plastic surgery is one of the most important steps you can take before booking.
How does Dr. Stutman decide if I'm a safe candidate for a butt lift?
Dr. Stutman uses strict criteria and evaluates every butt lift patient personally. He reviews your medical, surgical, and family history, your lifestyle, and any medications, supplements, or recreational drugs you use. Candidates should be in good health, close to their ideal weight, and nonsmokers, and he may ask you to make changes before approving surgery.
