Utilises your own purified fat tissue for volume enhancement without implants.
Redistributes fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks.
Fat removal from other areas may also be used to address changes in body shape.
Uses a patient’s own tissue rather than materials or devices placed in the body.
Results and recovery vary between individuals. Your surgeon will discuss realistic expectations during consultation.
This procedure may be considered if you:
• Have adequate fat reserves for transfer.
• Wish to increase buttock volume using your own tissue.
• Seek proportional improvement rather than a change in body identity or self-image.
• Are in good overall health with realistic expectations.
Your surgeon will evaluate your health, anatomy, and treatment goals to determine suitability.
Your surgeon will assess body shape and fat distribution, explain the process, and discuss achievable results.
You’ll receive clear pre-operative instructions covering medications, fasting, and post-surgery care.
Fat is carefully harvested from donor areas, purified, and injected into the buttocks using sterile technique.
Mild swelling or bruising is common. Most people resume light activities in 1–2 weeks. You’ll receive detailed post-operative guidance and scheduled follow-up reviews.
Your doctor will explain these in detail during consultation. See below for detailed risks associated with this procedure.
Typically, patients should refrain from sitting directly on their buttocks for 2 weeks and avoid strenuous activities for 6-8 weeks.
The incisions are small and strategically placed to be as inconspicuous as possible, often fading with time.
Light activities can commence in about 2 weeks, but high-impact exercises should wait for roughly 6-8 weeks.
Results can be maintained for a long period when a stable weight and healthy lifestyle are maintained, though outcomes vary between individuals.
We stand by our work and are committed to addressing any concerns.
Fat grafting to the buttocks is a surgical procedure and, as such, carries inherent risks and potential complications. These may include bleeding, bruising, swelling, infection, fluid accumulation (seroma), delayed wound healing, contour irregularities, and asymmetry. Adverse reactions to local or general anaesthesia may occur. A proportion of transferred fat may not survive, which can result in volume loss, uneven appearance, or the need for further procedures. Changes in skin sensation in treated areas, including numbness or altered sensation, may occur and are usually temporary, though in rare cases may be prolonged or permanent. Scarring can occur at both donor and injection sites. Less commonly, more serious complications such as fat embolism, blood clots, injury to underlying blood vessels or surrounding structures, or serious systemic complications may occur. Individual risk varies based on personal health factors, anatomy, surgical technique, and post-operative care. These risks will be discussed in detail during your consultation to support informed decision-making.
Fat grafting to the buttocks is a surgical procedure and, as with all surgery, carries potential risks and complications. Common and expected effects may include pain, swelling, bruising, bleeding, and temporary discomfort in both the donor and treatment areas. There is a risk of infection, delayed wound healing, fluid accumulation (seroma), and scarring at both the fat harvesting and injection sites. Changes in skin sensation, such as numbness, tingling, or altered sensitivity, may occur and are usually temporary, though in some cases may be prolonged. Not all transferred fat survives in its new location. Partial fat resorption can occur over time, which may lead to reduced volume, asymmetry, contour irregularities, or the formation of firm areas known as fat necrosis or oil cysts. These changes can sometimes be felt as lumps and, in some cases, may require further assessment or additional procedures to address aesthetic or comfort concerns. Less commonly, more serious complications may occur. These can include significant bleeding, major infection, injury to underlying blood vessels, nerves, or surrounding tissues, and complications related to local or general anaesthesia. Rare but serious risks specific to fat grafting to the buttocks include fat embolism, where fat enters the bloodstream and travels to the lungs, as well as blood clots such as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. These complications can be life-threatening and require urgent medical treatment. Longer-term outcomes may be affected by factors such as weight changes, ageing, pregnancy, and individual healing responses, which can alter the shape, volume, or symmetry of the result over time. Some patients may experience ongoing dissatisfaction with aesthetic outcomes or require revision procedures. Individual risk varies depending on personal health, anatomy, lifestyle factors such as smoking, the amount of fat transferred, surgical technique, and adherence to post-operative care instructions. These risks and their relevance to your circumstances will be discussed in detail during your consultation to support informed decision-making.
Costing can vary based on individual needs and the specifics of the procedure. We'll discuss a clear pricing structure during our consultation.
