About this procedure
Injecting live fat cells harvested by liposuction into the buttocks, to give fullness and form.
Surgical approach and technique
The harvested fat is passed through a special filtration process and transferred with cannulas into the fascial layers of the buttock. Narrowing the waist brings the projection of the buttock forward.
Who is it for?
Applicable in people with flat buttocks who want to improve their waist-to-hip ratio.
Recovery
A special BBL support cushion is advised for the first two to three weeks. Fullness is obtained in the buttock.
Back to desk work: approx. 14 days. Social recovery: approx. 28 days. Depending on the scope of surgery you should plan for between 6 and 12 nights. The exact figure is confirmed in writing with your treatment plan.
The information on this page is general and does not replace medical advice. Timings and recovery vary between individuals; a definitive plan can only be made after examination.
Frequently asked questions
Is the injected fat permanent?
On average 50-60% of the transferred fat cells become vascularised and remain in the area.
