Buttock augmentation with your own fat, often referred to as a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), is a popular procedure that addresses the aesthetics of the buttocks. It not only allows for buttock augmentation and shaping, but also removes excess fat from problem areas such as the hips, abdomen or thighs

More about the procedure
The buttock augmentation procedure offers two benefits in one, namely slimming and shaping the buttocks at the same time without the use of implants. During a joint consultation, we will determine if this procedure is the ideal solution to your problem. We will not recommend the procedure to everyone - for example, it will not be suitable for you if you have lost weight radically and the skin on your buttocks is loose. If the surgeon approves the procedure, you will agree together which parts of your body will be removed during the operation - usually the outer thighs, hips or abdomen will be recommended. You will also agree on the amount of fat the doctor will remove and re-inject into your buttocks.
- The procedure takes 2.5-3 hours
- It is performed under general anesthesia
- Enlargement of the buttocks and simultaneous slimming of another area
- You will stay in the clinic for 1 day
- 2-3 weeks of rest
Who is the procedure suitable for?
Autoaugmentation of the buttocks with your own fat is ideal for clients who have ample fat reserves and want to improve the shape and volume of their buttocks. This procedure is suitable for those who are looking for a natural alternative to implants and want to minimise the risk of complications.
Who is not suitable for the procedure?
This procedure is not suitable for clients with insufficient body fat, those with serious medical conditions, or those who expect significantly greater buttock augmentation or firmness than can be achieved by transferring their own fat.
How does the procedure work?
First, gentle liposuction is performed on selected areas such as the abdomen, hips or thighs to obtain enough fat for transfer. The removed fat is cleaned and prepared for application using a special technique. With the prepared fat, the doctor then shapes the buttocks using thin cannulas to create the desired shape and volume.
The good news is that this procedure usually leaves no scars on the buttocks at all. Only 2-4 small wounds are created at the site of fat removal. The operation takes approximately 2.5-3 hours. After the procedure, however, a one-day hospitalization in the clinic is necessary.
Recovery
Recovery after buttock augmentation with your own fat usually takes a few weeks. For the first two weeks after the procedure, we recommend that you observe a resting regimen and wear compression underwear to help reduce postoperative swelling and promote healing. You can slowly begin light office work no sooner than 2 weeks after surgery. You should return to your normal routine after approximately 8 weeks. The full results of the procedure are visible after 2-3 months, when the fatty tissue has fully settled.
What can I combine the procedure with?
- Liposuction of other areas.
- Breast augmentation with your own fat.
- Combination with non-invasive procedures: such as laser therapy or radiofrequency treatments to improve skin elasticity.

The course of the procedure
Consultation
The first step is to meet with the doctor to discuss your goals and ideas about the outcome of the surgery. The doctor will explain the procedure and what you can expect.
You will agree onwhat parts of your body and how much fat the doctor will remove, usually from the outer thighs, hips or abdomen.

Preparing for the procedure
The doctor will assess whether you have any contraindications that could prevent the procedure from being successful, such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, serious illnesses or acute inflammation in the areas to be treated.
The course of the procedure
Autoaugmentation is performed under general anesthesia. The operation takes approximately 2.5-3 hours. The fatty tissue is removed using gentle liposuction from predetermined areas. The fat tissue is processed and filtered of unwanted components immediately after removal. At the site of fat removal , 2-4 small wounds are created.
The harvested and purified fat is injected into the buttocks using fine cannulas. These are usually small punctures in the buttock area.

Healing time
After the procedure, wear compression underwear and follow the doctor's instructions. Small swellings or bruises may appear on the buttocks, which will subside within a few days. You may begin light office work no sooner than 3 weeks after the procedure. You may return to your normal routine after 8 weeks.
Aftercare
Do not expose your body to hypothermia or hot baths. Pressure on the augmented area (lying, sitting), adherence to a reduction diet and shocks (running, jumping) are also contraindicated. The resulting effect of buttock augmentation will stabilize within 3 months.
Enjoyment of the result
Some of the fat injected into the buttocks is absorbed. It is not possible to estimate in advance what the amount will be. On average, around 60-70% of the fat remains. For some clients, these percentages are even higher or lower. Therefore, in order to achieve the effect you dreamed of, it is sometimes necessary to repeat the procedure after a year to replenish the fat that has been absorbed.
You often wonder
Ideally, we recommend applying fat to the upper half of the buttocks and to other smaller areas just for tightening. The fat is partially absorbed by the body and the area of the buttocks where we sit is the area that loses fat the fastest. So the effect of augmentation would not be as pronounced or long lasting in this area of the buttocks. Furthermore, it is not applied to the gluteal muscles for patient safety.
We always try to meet the client's requirements. On average, we inject around 250 ml of fat into one buttock.
During the first few months after surgery, some of the injected fat is absorbed. Therefore, the size of the buttocks just after surgery is not yet final. After a few months, the blood vessels begin to supply the transferred fat cells and the fat absorption stops. After that, the result is permanent - provided, of course, that you do not radically change your weight. We usually repeat the procedure at least once (after a year) to replenish the absorbed fat in the buttocks and achieve the effect the client desires.
