Is a Buttock Augmentation Right for You?

Buttock augmentation is ideal for individuals who desire a fuller, more contoured, and proportionate shape. This procedure enhances volume and definition in the buttocks using fat transfer (Brazilian Butt Lift) or implants, depending on the patient’s anatomy and goals. Ideal candidates:

  • Are in good overall health and have sufficient fat deposits for transfer (if opting for fat grafting).
  • Desire a more voluminous, sculpted, or lifted appearance.
  • Have realistic expectations regarding the procedure and results.
  • Maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
  • Do not have medical conditions that could impair healing.

Buttock augmentation is designed to enhance your natural curves, improving overall body proportions while maintaining a natural look and feel.

How the Buttock Procedure Procedure Works

Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation with Dr. Mistry, where he will:

  • Assess your body proportions and discuss your aesthetic goals.
  • Review your medical history and conduct a physical examination.
  • Determine whether fat transfer or implants are the best option for you.
  • Explain the expected outcomes, potential risks, and recovery process.

Pre-Operative Planning

Once you decide to proceed, Dr. Mistry will create a personalised surgical plan, which includes:

  • A step-by-step explanation of the procedure.
  • Pre-surgery preparation, including any necessary tests and guidelines.
  • Post-operative expectations and care instructions.

The Procedure

Buttock augmentation is typically performed under general anaesthesia for maximum comfort and safety.

Surgical Techniques

1. Fat Transfer (Brazilian Butt Lift – BBL)

  • Liposuction is performed to harvest fat from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs.
  • The purified fat is strategically injected into the buttocks to enhance volume and contour.
  • This technique provides natural-looking results with the added benefit of body sculpting.

2. Buttock Implants

  • A small incision is made in the buttock crease.
  • Silicone implants are inserted within or beneath the gluteal muscles to provide projection and shape.
  • This method is ideal for those with limited fat reserves.

Incisions & Closure

    • Fat transfer requires only small liposuction and injection sites.
    • Implant-based augmentation involves a discreet incision, carefully closed to minimise scarring.

Post-Operative Care

Following surgery, you will receive detailed recovery instructions, including:

  • Wearing a compression garment to support healing and reduce swelling.
  • Avoiding direct pressure on the buttocks (such as sitting for extended periods) for at least two weeks.
  • Taking prescribed medications to manage pain and prevent infection.
  • Attending follow-up appointments to monitor progress.

Recovery & Results

Recovery varies depending on the technique used:

  • BBL: Swelling subsides over several weeks, with final results visible within 3–6 months.
  • Implants: Initial swelling and discomfort resolve within a few weeks, with the final shape settling in 3–6 months.

Dr. Mistry and his team will provide ongoing support throughout your recovery to ensure optimal healing and results.

Possible Risks and Complications of Buttock Augmentation

As with any surgery, buttock augmentation carries some risks.

Common Risks:

  • Bruising and swelling, which typically resolve in a few weeks.
  • Temporary pain and discomfort, managed with medication.
  • Scarring (minimal with fat transfer; strategically placed with implants).
  • Asymmetry, which may require minor corrections.

Less Common Risks:

  • Fat absorption (in BBL), which may necessitate a second procedure.
  • Seroma formation (fluid accumulation) requiring drainage.
  • Infection, mitigated by proper post-operative care.
  • Changes in skin sensation, which may be temporary or permanent.
  • Implant-related complications (such as displacement or rupture).

To minimise risks, it is essential to follow all pre- and post-operative instructions provided by Dr. Mistry.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do the results of buttock augmentation last?

The longevity of results depends on the technique used:

Fat Transfer (BBL): A portion of the transferred fat will be naturally absorbed by the body within the first few months, but the remaining fat cells become permanent. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve results long-term.

Implants: Silicone buttock implants provide long-lasting results, but they may need to be replaced or adjusted after several years due to natural aging or implant-related concerns.

What is the recovery process like after buttock augmentation?

Recovery varies based on the method used:

For BBL: Patients must avoid sitting or lying directly on the buttocks for at least two weeks to allow the transferred fat to establish blood supply. Swelling and bruising subside over a few weeks, with final results visible in 3–6 months.

For Implants: Patients should avoid strenuous activities for at least four weeks, and full healing may take a few months. Compression garments are recommended to support recovery.

Is buttock augmentation safe?

When performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon like Dr. Mistry, buttock augmentation is generally safe. However, as with any surgery, there are risks, including infection, fat embolism (for BBL), implant complications, and asymmetry. Choosing a reputable surgeon and following post-operative care instructions help minimise risks and ensure optimal results.

A Newcastle Surgeon That Cares

“I care because it’s my job as a surgeon, as a plastic surgeon, to do the appropriate thing and to give you a good outcome. I want to leave knowing that I can tell a patient, hand on heart, that I did the very best I could and that I looked after them, so when I see them post op later that day or the next morning, that they feel they were in good hands.”
