Fat Transfer to Buttocks

Natural buttock enhancement using your own fat

Fat transfer to the buttocks — commonly known as a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) — uses liposuction to harvest fat from the abdomen, flanks or thighs and reinjects it into the buttocks to enhance projection, roundness and shape. Because only your own tissue is used, results feel completely natural and the liposuction simultaneously contours the donor areas.

BBL surgery requires precise injection into the subcutaneous fat layer of the buttock, avoiding the deep gluteal muscle — a safety protocol followed rigorously at Enfield Royal Clinic. Not all transferred fat survives permanently, so volume planning accounts for expected reabsorption over the first 3 months.

Key Benefits

Enhanced buttock projection and roundness using natural tissue
Simultaneous contouring of abdomen, flanks or thighs
No synthetic implant required
Natural look and feel that evolves with the body

Is This Treatment Right For You?

Patients with adequate donor fat for harvesting
Those wanting enhanced buttock shape without implants
Individuals who want to address donor areas alongside buttock enhancement
Patients at a stable weight committed to maintaining results

What to Expect

Consultation

Buttock goals, donor fat availability and safe volume discussed.

Liposuction

Fat harvested from donor sites under general or local anaesthesia.

Processing & Transfer

Fat purified by centrifuge and injected into subcutaneous buttock tissue in multiple planes.

Recovery

Special BBL pillow used for 6 weeks to avoid pressure on the transferred fat.

Recovery & Aftercare

Patients avoid sitting directly on the buttocks for 6 weeks using a BBL pillow. Donor area bruising resolves in 2 weeks. Final volume and shape are apparent at 3 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much fat survives a BBL?

On average, 60–80% of transferred fat survives permanently. Some patients return for a minor top-up at 6 months if additional volume is desired.

Is BBL surgery safe?

When performed correctly — with subcutaneous injection away from the deep gluteal vasculature — by an experienced surgeon, BBL has an excellent safety profile. Patient selection and surgical technique are the key safety factors.
