Body Contouring
Brazilian Butt Lift in St. Louis
A Brazilian Butt Lift at our Creve Coeur office moves your own fat, taken from the belly or thighs with laser liposuction, to the buttocks for a rounder, fuller shape. No implants, and no general anesthesia.
How does a Brazilian Butt Lift with fat transfer work?
We take fat from your belly or thighs with laser liposuction and move it to your buttocks for a rounder, fuller shape, with no implants needed. The fat transfer is done under local anesthesia and guided by ultrasound to help prevent complications, at our Creve Coeur office with Dr. Ameha Hagos.
What makes this approach different?
Your safety is our first priority. We use BeautiFill, a laser-guided body contouring technology that removes fat from unwanted areas with minimally invasive techniques and transfers it to the area you want to enhance. A tumescent solution provides localized anesthesia and helps minimize bleeding and bruising.
- Local anesthesia and laughing gas, with no general anesthesia
- Ultrasound guidance during the fat transfer
- Your own fat, so no implants are needed
- Fat is taken from an area you want reduced, such as the belly or thighs
What kind of result is it designed for?
Buttock enhancement here is crafted to elevate your silhouette while honoring the shape you already have. The focus is on subtle, natural improvements, not an overdone look.
Every body is different. Your age, lifestyle and skin type all play a role, which is why each plan is personalized at your consultation.
What is recovery like?
A BBL starts with laser liposuction, so you receive the same aftercare as our liposuction patients: a post-care kit and clear instructions, a personal call within 24 hours, and compression garments for at least four weeks. Some bruising, swelling and mild discomfort are a normal part of healing and usually fade within a couple of weeks.
Depending on the area treated, we may also recommend specific massage techniques. Read more about recovery on our laser liposuction page.
Is there an option without fat transfer?
Yes. Liquid BBL uses injectable biostimulants that encourage your body to produce more collagen, for a gradual enhancement of the glutes and hips with no incisions and no fat transfer. It suits people looking for subtle, natural-looking results without downtime.

BeautiFill is a laser-guided body contouring technology that uses minimally invasive techniques to remove fat from unwanted areas and transfer it to the areas you want to enhance, such as the buttocks, breasts or face.
BeautiFirm is an advanced skin tightening device that works together with BeautiFill.
It depends on the areas being treated, but a BeautiFill procedure generally takes 2 to 3 hours.
It is less invasive than traditional liposuction, with a shorter recovery time, minimal scarring and less risk of complications and asymmetry. Because it tightens the skin as well as removing fat, it leaves less loose or sagging skin.
