Understanding Flat Buttocks
is primarily determined by genetics, which dictates both the size of the gluteal muscles and the distribution of fat in the area. Factors like ageing can lead to muscle atrophy and fat loss, while significant weight fluctuations can also result in a flatter, less defined buttock contour. For many individuals, no amount of exercise can achieve their desired shape, as building muscle mass may not be sufficient to create significant projection.
This is where surgical intervention becomes the most effective option. The goal of treatment is not just to add volume but to strategically sculpt and reshape the buttocks for a natural, aesthetically pleasing, and proportionate silhouette.

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
The Brazilian Butt Lift is a highly specialised fat transfer procedure that enhances the size and shape of the buttocks without implants. The surgery involves two key steps: first, fat is harvested from other areas of the body (such as the abdomen, waist, or thighs) using liposuction. Second, this fat is purified and then strategically injected into different depths of the buttocks to increase volume, improve projection, and create a lifted, more curvaceous shape.
Ideal for
Individuals who desire a significant increase in buttock volume and have enough excess fat in other body areas to harvest for the transfer
Results
A fuller, rounder, and more lifted buttock profile. As a dual-benefit procedure, it also slims down the areas where fat was harvested, further enhancing body contours
Management
This is a surgical procedure requiring significant downtime. Recovery involves avoiding direct pressure on the buttocks for several weeks. Results are long-lasting, as the transferred fat cells that survive integrate into the new area permanently

Frequent Asked Questions
A good candidate is a healthy individual with realistic expectations who has sufficient fat reserves in other areas (like the stomach, back, or thighs) for harvesting. A consultation with our surgeon is necessary to determine your suitability.
When performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon in an accredited facility, the BBL is a safe procedure. Our surgeons adhere to the latest safety protocols, including injection techniques that avoid deep muscle layers to minimise risks.
The cost of a BBL varies depending on the extent of liposuction required and the complexity of the procedure. A full, personalised quote is provided after your surgical consultation. 0% finance options are available (subject to status).
Recovery is a critical phase. You will need to avoid sitting or lying directly on your buttocks for at least 2-4 weeks and will be required to wear a special compression garment. Most patients can return to office-based work within 2 weeks, with full recovery taking several months.
The results are considered permanent. A certain percentage of the transferred fat cells will not survive, but those that do will remain in place for life. Maintaining a stable weight is key to preserving your long-term results.
