How to Change Your Buttock Shape

For many, targeted exercises focusing on the glutes can help in improving the shape and strength of the buttocks. A balanced diet also supports muscle building. However, if you’ve been consistent with exercise and diet and still aren’t satisfied with the results, a Brazilian Butt Lift (also known as autologous fat transfer to buttocks, gluteal fat transfer or gluteal augmentation) could be a solution. This procedure involves transferring fat from other areas of your body to your buttocks, changing the shape and increasing the size.

About Fat Transfer to Buttocks (also known as autologous fat transfer to buttocks/gluteal fat transfer/gluteal augmentation/BBL)

A Brazilian Butt Lift (Autologous Fat Transfer to Buttocks/gluteal fat transfer/gluteal augmentation) is a surgical procedure that grows the size and shape of the buttocks for suitable candidates. The treatment involves removing fat cells from specific areas of the body using Vaser liposuction, after which transferring fat from other body parts to the buttocks and/or hips. The procedure typically has a shorter recovery period than traditional buttock augmentation or buttock implants. However, be mindful it is still a surgical procedure.

Brazilian Butt Lift FAQs

Is a Brazilian Butt Lift (autologous fat transfer to buttocks/gluteal fat transfer/gluteal augmentation) safe?
Like any surgical procedure, a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) carries certain risks. Our clinic follows comprehensive protocols to promote patient safety and wellbeing. Potential complications include infection, swelling, bruising, scarring, and changes in skin sensation, such as numbness or tingling. There is also a risk of asymmetry or uneven results, fluid accumulation, and, in rare cases, blood clots or adverse reactions to anaesthesia. It’s essential to have this procedure performed by a qualified and experienced professional who can assess your overall health and medical history and discuss all potential risks with you to ensure a well-informed decision.
How does a Brazilian Butt Lift (autologous fat transfer to buttocks/gluteal fat transfer/gluteal augmentation) work?
A Brazilian Butt Lift involves two main steps: liposuction and fat transfer. First, the doctor removes fat from other areas of your body, like the abdomen, hips, or thighs, through liposuction. This fat is then purified and prepared for injection. Finally, the fat is strategically injected into the buttocks to change the size and shape.
Am I a suitable candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift (autologous fat transfer to buttocks/gluteal fat transfer/gluteal augmentation)?
Suitability for a BBL depends on several factors, including your overall health, the amount of excess fat available for transfer, and realistic expectations about the outcome. Ideal candidates are in good health, and have enough fat for transfer. A consultation with a doctor is essential to assess your suitability.
What if I don’t have enough fat for the procedure?
If you don't have sufficient fat for a BBL, your doctor can discuss alternatives with you and help determine the best approach based on your body.
How long does a Brazilian Butt Lift (autologous fat transfer to buttocks/gluteal fat transfer/gluteal augmentation) last?
The results of a BBL can be long-lasting. The transferred fat that successfully integrates with the existing tissue can be permanent. However, it's important to maintain a stable weight, as significant weight fluctuations can affect the results. Proper aftercare and a healthy lifestyle can help prolong the outcomes.
Why is it called a Brazilian Butt Lift (autologous fat transfer to buttocks/gluteal fat transfer/gluteal augmentation)?
The term "Brazilian Butt Lift" is believed to have originated due to the procedure's popularity in Brazil and its association with Brazilian culture's emphasis on prominent, larger buttocks. The procedure gained significant attention and popularity in Brazil before becoming widespread in other parts of the world.
