BBL meaning on TikTok

BBL is an acronym that stands for ‘Brazilian Butt Lift,’ which according to the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery is: “A specialized fat transfer procedure that augments the size and shape of the buttocks without implants.”

They explain that as part of this procedure, excess fat is removed from an individual’s hips, lower back, thighs, or abdomen with liposuction, after which a portion of this fat is injected into the buttocks.

The procedure is increasing in popularity, and many people choose to document their BBL journeys on social media platforms like TikTok, showing before and afters, as well as videos about their recovery. Others discuss celebrities and whether or not they’ve had a BBL procedure.
