Buttock Augmentation (BBL): Transfer of your own fat for natural volume

How it works

Safety comes first: the fat is placed in the subcutaneous plane using guided technique, following the most recent international recommendations for this procedure. Trained in Rio de Janeiro, where this surgery was born, Dr. Yolotzin performs it with a focus on proportion, not excess.

Part of the transferred fat is naturally reabsorbed in the first weeks; the surgical plan accounts for this so the final result is the one expected.

Is it for me?

  • Anyone who wants more projection or shape in the buttocks with a natural result.
  • People with available fat in the abdomen, waist or back.
  • Anyone who prefers to avoid buttock implants.

What you should know

How it's done, how to care for it and what to expect.

General information so you arrive at your consultation with the right questions. Your plan is defined at your consultation.

Technique

  • Liposculpture of the waist, lower back and abdomen to harvest the fat and, at the same time, shape the silhouette.
  • Processing of the fat and transfer in thin layers within the subcutaneous tissue, never into the muscle, following current safety guidelines.
  • Ultrasound guidance to control the depth of the cannula.

Aftercare

  • No sitting directly on the buttocks for the first 2 to 3 weeks; special cushion under the thighs.
  • Sleep face down or on your side.
  • Compression garment and lymphatic drainage for the liposuction areas.
  • Stable weight: transferred fat behaves like the fat in the rest of your body.

Results and how long they last

Between 60 and 80% of the transferred fat integrates. The final volume shows around the third month, once the swelling has gone down.

Risks and how we reduce them

Fat transfer to the buttocks demands strict technique: subcutaneous injection only and ultrasound guidance. Risks: partial reabsorption, asymmetry, seromas and, with incorrect technique, fat embolism. That is why safety comes before volume.
