Buttock Lipofilling

What is Buttock Lipofilling?

Buttock lipofilling, also known as a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the volume, shape, and contour of the buttocks using the patient’s own purified fat. Unlike implants, which rely on silicone devices, lipofilling uses natural tissue harvested from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, flanks, or back. This dual approach not only refines body proportions through liposuction but also restores balance and harmony to the silhouette by transferring fat where it is most desired.

At Guess Clinic, Dr. Guessous combines advanced liposculpture with meticulous fat grafting techniques to ensure a natural result—rounder, fuller buttocks that integrate seamlessly with the body’s proportions. Each procedure is fully customized, with fat carefully purified and reinjected in multiple micro-layers to achieve smoothness, longevity, and a soft, authentic feel.

Who is Buttock Lipofilling For?

This procedure is ideal for patients who wish to:

• Enhance buttock projection and shape naturally.
• Achieve a fuller, lifted look without implants.
• Benefit from body contouring in donor areas (abdomen, waist, thighs) as part of the same procedure.
• Correct flatness or asymmetry for a more harmonious silhouette.

The best candidates are those with sufficient fat reserves for harvesting, good skin elasticity, and realistic expectations. During consultation, Dr. Guessous carefully evaluates body proportions, donor fat quality, and overall goals to ensure both safety and aesthetic precision.

Type of Anesthesia and Procedure Duration

Buttock lipofilling is performed under general anesthesia or sedation with local anesthesia, depending on the extent of fat harvesting and the patient’s preferences. The procedure typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours, combining liposuction, fat purification, and reinjection.

Procedure & Recovery

Fat Harvesting
Liposuction is performed on selected areas—commonly the abdomen, flanks, back, or thighs—using fine cannulas. This not only provides donor fat but also slims and sculpts surrounding contours for a more balanced silhouette.

Fat Purification
The harvested fat is processed using advanced filtration and centrifugation methods to isolate the healthiest, most viable fat cells.

Fat Reinjection
Purified fat is meticulously reinjected into the buttocks in micro-droplets, layered through multiple planes of tissue to ensure smooth integration, even distribution, and lasting results.

Early Recovery Timeline

• First week: Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are expected; managed with analgesics and compression garments. Patients are advised to avoid sitting directly on the buttocks, using special pillows or lying on the stomach instead.
• Weeks 2–3: Gradual return to light daily activities. Swelling begins to subside.
• Week 4: Most patients resume sedentary work, with continued use of compression garments.
• Weeks 6–8: Progressive return to normal activities and exercise, depending on healing progress.

Hospital Stay

Most patients return home the same day following surgery, once observation is complete. For added reassurance and recovery comfort, Guess Clinic offers the option of a private overnight stay with attentive post-operative care.
