A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) uses liposuction to remove excess fat from areas like the abdomen, waist, or back, then reinjects that fat into the buttocks to add volume, projection, and a more contoured silhouette — using your own tissue rather than an implant. Because the donor areas are sculpted at the same time, most patients also see a more defined waist-to-hip contour alongside fuller, rounder curves. Dra. Sofía Rincón places the fat using a subdermal, ultrasound-guided technique that keeps the graft above the muscle fascia rather than injecting into the gluteal muscle — the technique recommended by plastic surgery safety task forces to reduce the risk of fat embolism, the rare but serious complication linked to older BBL methods. Tijuana has become a trusted destination for this procedure, pairing board-certified surgical safety with significantly lower costs than the U.S. — just 7 minutes from the San Diego border.

What our patients say
"The best experience I could have had. From the first time I met Dra. Sofía I felt confident; she looked after my health carefully until I was 100% ready for surgery. It's now been almost a month since my surgery (breast lift, lipo, BBL and tummy tuck), I love my body, recovery has gone very well, and she always answers and stays on top of everything. My results are exactly what I asked for!"
"I don't have words to express my gratitude for the exceptional care from Dra. Sofía Rincón. I came to her for a tummy tuck revision after complications and adhesions from a previous surgery elsewhere. She fixed everything perfectly and gave me my quality of life back. Her motto, 'Your body is reborn in expert hands,' couldn't be more true."
"My experience with Dra. Sofía Rincón was incredible. From my first consultation she was extremely thorough and knew exactly what I wanted. On the day of my surgery the care was exceptional, and she recommended the best recovery center. Today, 5 weeks later, I'm very happy with the results and her ongoing follow-up."
"Super professional, she explained my procedure in detail before applying the Botox, and all the aftercare. She gave me a lot of confidence and the result was very subtle and natural."
"I had chin liposuction with Facetite and buccal fat removal with Dra. Sofía Rincón. I was thrilled with the results and the care. She's always very professional and takes care of every detail of your face."
"Absolutely incredible work and spectacular results! I lost 30 kilos and Dra. Sofía helped me enormously with reconstructive surgeries that let me get my figure back. I'm thrilled! She's a kind, attentive surgeon with great attention to detail."

Frequently Asked Questions
We answer the most common questions about BBL surgery, safety, cost, candidacy, and recovery in Tijuana.
Candidacy is determined during a personalized medical consultation, either in person in Tijuana or virtually if you're visiting from abroad. Dra. Sofía Rincón evaluates whether you have enough donor fat for a safe graft, your overall health, weight stability, and your goals for shape and projection, to recommend the right fat transfer plan for your anatomy.
A BBL uses your own fat, harvested by liposuction from areas like the abdomen or back and reinjected into the buttocks, so results look and feel natural and the donor areas get sculpted at the same time. Butt implants use a silicone device instead of your own tissue, which can add volume where there isn't enough donor fat but doesn't offer the same dual-contouring benefit. Dra. Sofía will recommend the right option based on your body fat and goals.
The rare but serious risks historically associated with BBL surgery come from injecting fat into the gluteal muscle, where it can enter large blood vessels. Dra. Sofía uses a subdermal, ultrasound-guided technique that places fat only above the muscle fascia, never into the muscle itself — the approach recommended by plastic surgery safety task forces specifically to reduce this risk. Every surgery is also performed at a certified hospital with board-certified anesthesiology support.
Our office in Zona Urbana Río is only 7 minutes from the San Diego border (San Ysidro crossing). We offer a smooth, bilingual, cross-border protocol: we start with a detailed virtual evaluation, help coordinate the logistics of your visit, and recommend hotels and certified recovery centers so your experience is comfortable and stress-free.
To protect the newly transferred fat cells, most patients avoid sitting or lying directly on the buttocks for 2 to 3 weeks, using a BBL pillow to redistribute pressure to the thighs and lower back when sitting is unavoidable. A compression garment is worn over the liposuctioned areas for 4 to 6 weeks, and we design a lymphatic drainage protocol with regular check-ins with Dra. Sofía to support fat survival and a smooth recovery.
