Buttock Augmentation and Remodeling (Brazilian Butt Lift - BBL)

Enhancing feminine curves of the buttock

The buttocks are central to the female silhouette. Their shape defines the balance between waist, hips, and thighs. Augmentation can be performed with fat transfer (BBL) or gluteal implants, depending on body type and desired results.

Two main approaches:

Fat Transfer (BBL – Brazilian Butt Lift)

Fat harvested through liposuction (abdomen, waist, thighs, hips).

Purified and reinjected into the buttocks.

Creates a soft, natural, harmonious result aligned with feminine curves.

Corrects contour irregularities such as “hip dips.”

Moderate volume, influenced by weight changes.

Female Gluteal Implants

Cohesive silicone implants placed within or under the gluteal muscle.

Provide a firm, stable projection, unaffected by weight changes.

Best for lean patients without enough fat reserves.

Long-lasting, consistent results.

Fat Transfer (BBL – Brazilian Butt Lift):

Women seeking natural volume increase in the buttocks.

Need to correct contour irregularities or asymmetries (e.g., hip dips).

Post-weight-loss changes (including after Ozempic® / Wegovy®) leading to loss of buttock shape.

Desire for global body harmonization (slimmer waist, fuller hips, rounder buttocks).

Patients with sufficient fat reserves for harvesting.

Gluteal Implants:

Very lean patients with insufficient fat reserves for BBL.

Desire for a more pronounced, firm, and stable volume over time.

Goal of achieving significant projection not possible with fat transfer alone.

Preference for a predictable, long-lasting solution, independent of weight fluctuations.

BBL (fat transfer):

Gentle liposuction of donor sites (abdomen, waist, hips, thighs).

Purification of harvested fat (filtration or centrifugation).

Reinjection of fat in micro-layers into the buttocks, ensuring smooth and natural results.

Gluteal implants:

Discreet incision in the gluteal crease.

Placement of cohesive silicone implants within or beneath the gluteal muscle.

Closure with fine sutures to conceal the scar.

General anesthesia.

2-3 hours.

Day surgery, without hospitalization.

Special cushion to avoid direct sitting pressure (for fat transfer).

Compression garment for liposuction sites.

Return to work in 10–14 days.

Sports after 6–8 weeks.

With fat: natural, soft contour, proportionate to body shape.

With implants: firm, stable projection, long-lasting.

Improved “hourglass” effect (narrow waist, full hips and buttocks).

FAQ

Fat transfer gives a soft, natural appearance. Implants provide a firmer projection.

Yes, it depends on your fat reserves and the volume you wish to achieve.

With fat, results are long-lasting but follow weight fluctuations. With implants, volume stays constant.
