Brazilian butt lift

Purpose of the procedure

The aim of fat transfer is to create naturally shaped, proportionate buttocks using the patient’s own fatty tissue. It is an alternative to implants and is suitable for people who want a natural-looking result while also reducing fat in another area, such as the abdomen or thighs. The aim is a harmonious, long-lasting result that improves body proportions and physical comfort. “A Brazilian butt lift uses the body’s own resources to restore balance and achieve a natural result without implants.” – Dr Simmo

Course of the procedure

Fat is collected by liposuction from a suitable area, such as the abdomen, thighs or flanks, and then purified and processed under sterile conditions. The processed fat is injected into the buttocks layer by layer using a fine cannula to create a smooth, naturally shaped result. The procedure takes up to three hours and is performed under general anaesthesia. As the patient’s own cells are used, the risk of an allergic reaction is minimal.

Consultation and preparation

During the consultation, we will assess the amount of fatty tissue available, skin elasticity and the anatomy of the buttocks. Together, we will discuss the shape and volume that best suit the body’s proportions and how much fat can realistically be transferred. The doctor will also explain how much of the transferred fat is expected to remain.  How to prepare for your consultation

Anaesthesia

The operation is performed under general anaesthesia. After a short observation period, the patient can go home on the same day or the following day.

Recovery and aftercare

A compression garment is worn after surgery to reduce swelling and support the integration of the transferred fat cells. During the first few days, you should avoid sitting upright and sleeping on your back to reduce pressure on the transferred fat. Swelling and bruising subside within three weeks; the final result develops within three to six months. You can return to work after approximately ten days, depending on the extent of the procedure and how you feel.

Possible side effects and risks

Temporary swelling, tenderness and mild discomfort are common. In rare cases, more fat than expected can be reabsorbed; an additional fat transfer can then be performed. To reduce the risk of complications, it is important to follow the doctor’s instructions on rest, movement and sitting restrictions.

Good to know!

  • The procedure uses the patient’s own fat, producing a natural-looking result.
  • Approximately 20–30% of the transferred fat is naturally reabsorbed, while the remainder stays in place.
  • Fat transfer can be combined with liposuction to refine and balance the body’s proportions.
