Buttock Augmentation Using Fat Transfer or Implants

Buttock augmentation is a surgical procedure that involves addressing the shape or volume of the buttocks using techniques such as fat transfer (also known as Brazilian Butt Lift or BBL) or silicone implants. The approach used is based on individual anatomy and surgical assessment, with the goal of improving balance and proportion.

Is a Buttock Augmentation Right for You?

Buttock augmentation may be considered by individuals seeking to modify the shape, volume, or proportions of the buttocks. This procedure can involve fat transfer (commonly known as a Brazilian Butt Lift) or implants, with the choice depending on individual anatomy and treatment goals.

Ideal candidates may:

Are in good overall health and have sufficient fat deposits for transfer if fat grafting is chosen.
Are seeking changes in volume, shape, or lift of the buttocks.
Have realistic expectations about the procedure and potential outcomes.
Maintain a stable weight and follow a healthy lifestyle.
Do not have medical conditions that may affect healing.

Buttock augmentation involves surgical techniques aimed at modifying body contours. The procedure is tailored to individual anatomy and goals, with consideration given to maintaining proportion and appearance.

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 usually performed under general anaesthesia to support patient comfort during the procedure.

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 & Results

Recovery time can vary depending on the technique used:

Fat Transfer (BBL): Swelling may reduce over several weeks, with changes continuing to develop up to 3 to 6 months post-procedure.
Implants: Initial swelling and discomfort typically decrease within a few weeks, with the final contour becoming more apparent over 3 to 6 months.

Dr Mistry and the care team provide ongoing support throughout the recovery period to assist with healing and monitor progress.

Possible Risks and Complications of Buttock Augmentation

As with any surgical procedure, buttock augmentation involves certain risks and potential complications.

Common Risks:

Bruising and swelling, which typically resolve in a few weeks.
Temporary pain and discomfort, managed with medication.
Scarring
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).

Following all pre- and post-operative instructions provided by Dr Mistry is important to support the healing process and reduce the risk of complications.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do the results of buttock augmentation last?

The duration of results may vary depending on the technique used:

Fat Transfer (BBL): Some of the transferred fat may be absorbed by the body within the initial months, while the remaining fat cells are typically retained. Maintaining a stable weight can contribute to longer-lasting outcomes.

Implants: Silicone buttock implants are designed to provide durable results; however, over time, replacement or adjustment may be necessary due to factors such as ageing or implant-related considerations.

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.

How do I know if I’m a suitable candidate for buttock augmentation?

Suitability depends on factors such as overall health, body anatomy, and personal goals. A consultation with Dr Mistry will include a thorough assessment to discuss available options and determine the most appropriate approach for you.

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.”
