Reshaping buttock volume with fat transfer or implants, chosen after an anatomy and safety review — not from a trend photo.
Buttock augmentation increases or reshapes the buttocks using your own fat (fat transfer, often called a Brazilian butt lift) or silicone implants. Fat transfer combines liposuction from other areas with injection into the buttocks.
Fat transfer to the buttocks carries a specific, serious risk if fat enters the large veins beneath the muscle. Professional safety guidance recommends placing fat only in the layer above the muscle, and an experienced surgeon plans the procedure around that.
These are general points only. Whether an operation is suitable for you is decided by the treating surgeon after an in-person examination, your medical history and any tests they request.
You share photos and your medical history. The surgeon gives a first opinion on whether the operation is suitable and what it could realistically achieve.
The surgeon examines you in person, confirms the plan, explains the risks and arranges pre-operative tests before you give consent.
Under general anaesthesia, fat is harvested by liposuction and placed above the muscle, or implants are positioned through a small incision.
The surgeon reviews healing before you travel home, and you receive written aftercare instructions and remote follow-up.
You avoid sitting or lying directly on the buttocks, using a special cushion if advised. Compression garments are worn over liposuction areas.
Sitting is reintroduced gradually. Swelling and bruising settle, and you return to light activity.
Some of the transferred fat is reabsorbed by the body. The remaining volume is usually stable by this stage.
Timelines vary between people. Always follow the aftercare instructions from your treating clinic.
It carries a higher risk than many cosmetic procedures. Following current safety guidance, including placing fat only above the muscle, reduces that risk but does not remove it.
It depends on your available fat, skin and anatomy. The surgeon advises on a safe and realistic amount.
It depends on the operation. Many are planned around one to two weeks so the surgeon can check you and remove stitches or drains before you fly. Flying soon after surgery raises the risk of blood clots, so your surgeon confirms when it is safe to travel.
The price depends on the operation the surgeon recommends after examining you, the hospital stay and any combined procedures. You receive a written, itemised quote before anything is booked, with no obligation to proceed.
