Miami Plastic Surgeon Explains Why BBL-Looking Backsides Are Impossible To Attain By Just Going To The Gym
Brazilian Butt Lifts, also known as BBLs, began infiltrating mainstream plastic surgery during the 1980s.
Still, the procedure’s popularity became unmatched after celebrities such as J Lo and Kim Kardashian spurred a media frenzy over their larger-than-life backsides.
And whether you support the BBL movement or believe that the elective surgery goes too far, Dr. Alex Earle, a plastic surgeon from Miami, Florida, recently settled one of the most significant debates about the procedure.
He explained why the “BBL look” is physically unattainable from just going to the gym.
“You cannot get BBL results at the gym,” Dr. Earle said in a recent TikTok.
“We often get that comment that you know, ‘She should have just worked out.’ But, it is not possible to transform the body the way that we do surgically with a BBL by diet and exercise alone.”
He then plunged into the various appearance changes that BBLs cause, which are simply not possible without surgical intervention.
For example, “hip dips”– which refer to the indents below the hips and above the base of the thigh– have gained a lot of social media attention over the years.

But, according to Dr. Earle, removing hip dips is only possible through elective surgery.
“There is no muscle there, just tendons, and there is a lack of fat. So, there is no way to work it out because there is no muscle to grow in that area.”
“The only way to fix that is by adding fat through a BBL,” he concluded.
Another characteristic BBL feature concerns the overall round or “bubble butt” shape that the procedure produces.
This seemingly perfect and sculpted outcome is a result of taking fat from unwanted areas– such as the stomach– and strategically inserting it throughout the buttocks region.
This intentional and controlled result is very different from going to the gym since it is much more complex and unlikely to dictate exactly what areas of your backside grow– and by how much– while working out.
Nonetheless, Dr. Earle underscored that BBL results do need to be maintained through consistent diet and exercise.
He specifically recommends weight-based exercises, such as squats, and sticking to a balanced diet to ensure your BBL results last for a long time.
“In summary, the best combination is all three– BBL, nutrition, and exercise. But, don’t always believe everything you see on social media because it can be photoshopped,” Dr. Earle added.
So, if you have been stressing about why your behind does not look the same as other BBL receivers, don’t fret– it is not supposed to.
Second, the “BBL look” is not the only way to look good.
The “success” of results only depends on what you personally strive for, so don’t compare yourself to celebrities or people on social media.
