Buttocks

  • Buttock shape is influenced by genetics, ageing, and lifestyle factors.

  • Exercise and diet support overall health, but some people may find these measures do not significantly change buttock size or shape.

  • Gluteal fat transfer (also called gluteal augmentation, autologous fat transfer, or Brazilian Butt Lift) is a cosmetic surgery option that involves transferring a person’s own fat to the buttocks or hips.

  • A consultation with a registered medical practitioner is required to assess suitability, discuss potential risks, and explain alternatives.

How to Change Your Buttock Shape

Targeted exercises focusing on the glute muscles can help support strength and shape, while a balanced diet assists with muscle building. Some people, however, may not notice significant changes through lifestyle measures alone. In these cases, fat transfer to the buttocks (also called gluteal augmentation, gluteal fat transfer, autologous fat transfer, or Brazilian Butt Lift) may be discussed in consultation with a registered medical practitioner.

About Fat Transfer to Buttocks

Fat transfer to the buttocks (BBL cosmetic surgery) is a cosmetic surgery option performed by registered medical practitioners in accredited facilities. It involves removing fat from one area of the body and transferring it to the buttocks or hips.

A consultation is required to determine suitability, review medical history, and discuss potential risks, alternatives, and recovery. Outcomes vary between individuals, and all surgical procedures carry risks, which will be explained before you decide whether to proceed.
