The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) has long been one of the most requested body contouring procedures in Miami, shaping and boosting the behinds of countless women. But what happens if your aesthetic tastes change, or when the results of a previous BBL feel too large, disproportionate, or uncomfortable? That’s when a reverse Brazilian Butt Lift can offer a solution.
Whether you’ve experienced weight fluctuations, a shift in personal aesthetics, or simply feel your current silhouette no longer works with your lifestyle, a reverse BBL can help restore balance and symmetry to your figure. This procedure focuses on reducing excess transferred fat, reshaping your buttocks, and creating smoother, more natural-looking proportions. Think of it as re-sculpting your figure to achieve a more natural-looking silhouette.

A reverse Brazilian Butt Lift is a body contouring procedure designed to reduce or reshape the results of a previous BBL. During a traditional Brazilian Butt Lift, excess fat is harvested from areas like your abdomen or flanks and transferred to the buttocks to enhance their volume and projection. In contrast, a reverse BBL focuses on removing excess fat from the buttocks to create a smaller, more proportionate shape and, if necessary, tightening lax skin.
A reverse BBL is typically performed using liposuction for targeted fat removal, along with skin tightening techniques, such as Renuvion®, to redefine your silhouette. The goal of a reverse BBL is not simply to reduce; it’s also to reshape. By carefully sculpting your buttocks and surrounding areas, a reverse BBL balances the proportions of your waist, hips, and thighs, creating a more harmonious overall shape.
Overly large or heavy buttocks can make it difficult to find clothing that fits properly or create an imbalance between your upper and lower body. Reducing excess volume in your behind can enhance symmetry and create a sleeker silhouette.
Carrying excess weight in your buttocks can contribute to lower back pain or cause discomfort during exercise and daily activities. By reducing buttock volume, everyday movement may feel easier and more comfortable.
Some people may naturally have irregularities in the shape of their buttocks due to fat asymmetry, uneven contours, or areas where fat has shifted over time. A reverse BBL carefully and precisely sculpts your buttocks, resulting in a smoother, firmer appearance.
Good candidates for a reverse BBL are nonsmoking adults in good overall health who previously underwent a Brazilian Butt Lift and now wish to reduce the volume of their behind. Ideal candidates for a reverse Brazilian Butt Lift include those who:

Adequate preparation for reverse Brazilian Butt Lift surgery helps ensure a smooth, safe experience, including a complication-free recovery and optimal results.
Preparing for your reverse Brazilian Butt Lift begins with a comprehensive consultation and evaluation of your prior BBL results and current anatomy. Your experienced surgeon will also review your medical history, assess your skin quality, and discuss your desired changes in the size and shape of your buttocks.
Come prepared to discuss exactly what you would like to change about your previous BBL results, as well as any questions you may have. Your surgeon will go over how a reverse BBL is performed, explain the specific techniques that may be used to remove or reshape excess fat and skin, and outline your recovery timeline.
If you decide to move forward, a customized surgical plan will be developed to address your specific anatomy and aesthetic goals. You will also receive a comprehensive cost estimate based on your individualized treatment plan.
Reverse Brazilian Butt Lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia in our fully accredited surgical facility. The procedure typically involves liposuction to remove targeted fat from the buttocks and surrounding areas, followed by minimally invasive skin tightening using Renuvion®.
Your surgeon will carefully reduce the projection of your buttocks while carefully sculpting the area to ensure smooth contours and natural-looking curves. In some cases, contouring may extend to the hips or lower back to create better definition and balance between your waist and buttocks.
Small, strategically placed incisions allow for fat removal while minimizing visible scarring. Once the fat is removed, your surgeon may use the same small incisions to insert the Renuvion® device, which combines radiofrequency energy with cold plasma to tighten lax skin and improve skin quality. The exact approach for your reverse BBL depends on the degree of reduction you desire and your skin’s elasticity. The procedure generally takes several hours, after which you’ll be monitored in recovery before returning home the same day.
Recovery following a reverse BBL is similar in many ways to traditional liposuction recovery. You will experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort during the first one to two weeks, which are easily managed with prescription or over-the-counter medications. Dr. Mendieta highly recommends that his reverse BBL patients consider adding EXPAREL® injections to their procedure for maximum pain management. EXPAREL® is administered during your surgery and reduces post-procedure pain by up to 80 percent.
You will wear compression garments to help minimize swelling, support your healing tissues, and help shape your newly reduced buttocks. Most patients can return to work and light activities within one to two weeks, though strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks. Guidelines for sitting or putting pressure on your buttocks will depend on the extent of fat removed, so be sure to follow your surgeon’s instructions to the letter.
Swelling will subside over several months, gradually revealing your newly contoured behind.
A reverse Brazilian Butt Lift will give you a smaller, more proportionate buttock shape that complements your overall figure. As swelling resolves, you’ll notice improved symmetry, smoother contours, and a more balanced silhouette.
The final results of your reverse BBL are typically revealed within three to six months. Because fat cells removed during liposuction do not return, your results will be long-lasting, provided you maintain a stable weight.
A reverse BBL can significantly reduce volume and reshape the buttocks, but it may not “erase” every aspect of your prior BBL. Your results depend on how much fat was originally transferred, your skin elasticity, and how your body has changed over time. Your surgeon will let you know what you can expect from your results.
Most surgeons recommend waiting at least 6–12 months after your original Brazilian Butt Lift before undergoing a reverse BBL. This allows all swelling from your original procedure to fully resolve and the transferred fat to settle.
Yes, targeted liposuction can be used to address contour irregularities, firmness, or uneven areas resulting from prior buttock fat transfer. While complete correction cannot always be guaranteed, careful sculpting by an experienced surgeon can improve smoothness and overall symmetry.
A reverse BBL is performed using anesthesia, so the surgery itself is not painful. During recovery, you may experience moderate soreness and tenderness lasting a couple of weeks. Discomfort can be managed with medication, compression garments, and proper aftercare.
Reverse BBL surgery is considered safe when performed by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon. However, as with any surgical procedure, risks exist. Complications of a reverse BBL may include:
