What it is
A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) reshapes and adds volume to the buttocks using fat transferred from other areas of the body. Fat is harvested by liposuction, purified, and grafted to improve shape and projection, which also refines the donor areas such as the waist and flanks.
Safety is the central consideration. Fat is placed only in the subcutaneous layer, above the muscle, and never deep into or beneath the gluteal muscle, because deep injection carries a risk of fat entering the blood vessels (fat embolism), which can be fatal. Dr. Amoroso uses careful, controlled technique that respects this principle. Some grafted fat is reabsorbed, so the final result settles over a few months.
What it can improve
- Buttock shape, projection, and proportion using your own fat
- The waist-to-hip contour through liposuction of the donor areas
- Overall lower-body balance
It does not lift significantly sagging skin, does not provide unlimited volume, and cannot guarantee a precise final size because fat survival varies between patients.
Before the procedure
You will receive individualized preparation guidance. Donor areas, realistic volume, the importance of safe technique, and the sitting restrictions during recovery are all discussed at consultation.
During the procedure
Fat is harvested with liposuction, prepared, and grafted only into the subcutaneous layer above the muscle for shape and projection. Placement stays in the safe plane throughout, with attention to symmetry and a natural contour.
After the procedure
Direct pressure on the buttocks is limited for the first weeks, often using a special cushion when sitting, to protect the grafted fat. Swelling and bruising affect the donor and treated areas and settle over weeks, and the grafted volume reduces slightly as some fat is reabsorbed.
Results: what it can and cannot achieve
An improved, natural-looking buttock shape with a refined waist is achievable. It cannot lift loose skin, cannot guarantee a precise size because fat survival varies, and a stable weight protects the result. Safe technique prioritizes your wellbeing over maximum volume.
Possible risks and complications
All surgery carries risks, and safe technique is essential for this procedure. Possible risks include:
- Partial reabsorption of transferred fat and volume loss
- Asymmetry or contour irregularity
- Fat necrosis, lumps, or oil cysts
- Infection
- Bruising, swelling, and temporary numbness
- Rare but serious risks including blood clots and fat embolism, which safe subcutaneous-only technique is designed to minimize
Smoking and impaired circulation raise the risk of healing problems and wound complications, so honest assessment and smoking cessation are essential. For this procedure, fat is never injected into or beneath the muscle, because deep injection is what carries the serious risk of fat embolism.
Who it suits
A Brazilian butt lift may suit patients who want to reshape the buttocks with their own fat. It is especially suitable for patients who:
- Want improved buttock shape and proportion rather than maximum size
- Have enough donor fat for grafting
- Accept the recovery, including limited sitting in the first weeks
- Are at a stable weight with realistic expectations
- Do not smoke or can stop before and after surgery
It may not suit very lean patients with little donor fat, those with significant skin laxity who may need a lift, or those seeking extreme volume that cannot be achieved safely. Your surgeon prioritizes safety in every plan.
Why Skulpturkliniken
Body surgery by Dr. Matteo Amoroso
Body contouring at Skulpturkliniken is performed by Dr. Matteo Amoroso, a specialist plastic and reconstructive surgeon. His reconstructive background gives him a detailed command of anatomy, blood supply, and tissue handling, which is the foundation for safe contouring and natural proportions.
Natural, balanced results
Dr. Amoroso plans every procedure around your proportions rather than maximum change. The aim is a balanced, natural shape that suits your frame and moves naturally, planned with restraint so the result looks like you at your best.
Reconstructive precision meets aesthetic judgment
Choosing a surgeon for this procedure is especially important, because safety depends on technique. From the first consultation, Dr. Amoroso explains how fat is placed only in the safe subcutaneous plane, what is realistic for your anatomy, and whether the procedure is right for you at all.
Individualized assessment
Every procedure begins with a detailed assessment. We evaluate:
Areas of concern, fat distribution, and skin quality
Skin laxity and ability to retract
Overall proportions and frame
General health, weight stability, and lifestyle
Your goals and realistic expectations
What Does Surgery Cost?
The costs of treatments are listed in the price section and often don't change. However, the price depends on the extent of the procedure, the technique used, anesthesia, surgical time, and whether additional procedures are combined.
Every operation is individually planned, and the final price is discussed clearly during consultation after Dr. Matteo Amoroso has assessed your anatomy, goals, and surgical needs.
All surgical prices include one of the most extensive, transparent, and safe warranty programs. The price is designed to be comprehensive and includes everything related to the operation, from consultation and surgical planning to the procedure itself, compression garment when applicable, direct access to Dr. Matteo Amoroso and the medical team, and unlimited follow-up controls during the first year.
