What does buttock lipofilling involve?
Buttock lipofilling is a cosmetic surgery procedure involving fat injection to increase the volume of the buttocks . The fat injected comes from other areas of the patient's body .
This is the most natural way to increase buttock volume, since no foreign bodies are involved.
Why have lipofilling?
The shape of the buttocks is unique to each woman, and no two are alike. They naturally take on a curved, square or rather flat shape, and are more or less discreet or imposing. The shape of the buttocks changes with age (effect of skin aging) and variations in weight.
Women who wish to change the appearance of their buttocks are most often looking for harmony with the rest of their body. They may also want a larger buttock, as in the case of breast augmentation, for example.Â
What are the objectives of buttock lipofilling?
Buttock lipofilling aims to :
- Add volume to the buttocks;
- Reshape the area;
- Lifting the skin of the buttocks;
- Bring harmony to the patient's silhouette and personality.
This is the most natural method, as it does not require the addition of prostheses.
Buttock lipofilling or lipomodelling (also known as BBL surgery - Brazilian Butt Lift) is an avant-garde technique that is attracting more and more women.
This 100% natural method leaves no visible scars.
Buttock lipofilling surgery
Also performed on the face and other parts of the body, lipofilling involves transferring fat cells from one area of the body to another.
During buttock lipomodelling, the surgeon removes fat cells from one or more areas of the body where they are in excess. Typically, the patient wishes to have excess fat removed from the abdomen, knees or thighs (saddlebags).
This excess fat is then injected back into the buttocks after being purified.
In this way, lipofilling of the buttocks enables liposuction (or lipoaspiration) to be performed at the same time.

Procedure for buttock lipofilling
Buttock lipofilling lasts 1? to 2 hours.
On the day of the operation, the surgeon makes the drawings that will guide him throughout the surgery. During this time, you will be able to discuss the operation with him.
The medical (anesthetist) and paramedical team will then accompany you to the operating room.
You will be placed under general anesthesia. Your plastic surgeon will then make small incisions of a few millimeters to start the infiltration of a saline solution with adrenaline. This solution reduces bleeding and increases your comfort when you wake up.
Phase 1: liposuction
The surgeon places the ultrasound probe under the skin, in the deep and superficial fat. The probe liquefies the fat. It facilitates its removal and the process of re-tensioning the skin.
The fat is then gently and non-traumatically removed using a cannula.
The use of ultrasound significantly reduces oedema, bruising and bleeding compared to conventional liposuction.
Phase 2: fat injection
The fat is then purified and separated from the blood and other fluids.
Finally, the surgeon injects the fat taken from the buttocks to increase their volume. He finishes by shaping the buttocks to give them a harmonious shape.
The final result is visible between the third and sixth month.
Any weight gain will influence the result. It is therefore important to take care of your lifestyle to avoid significant weight variations.
Dr Delobaux performs fat injections under ultrasound guidance to maximize injection safety and optimize fat distribution.
Lipofilling buttock lift: after-effects
You will wake up in the recovery room. You will already be wearing a compression panty. These will be worn for 6 to 8 weeks. You will be discharged the same evening or the next morning.
Analgesics can help relieve the initial postoperative pain. You should ask for them as soon as painful symptoms appear. These pains may last several days, but you will have the necessary analgesics to combat them.
You can shower the next day.
A dressing around the incisions should be applied every morning for 10 days to avoid rubbing against the panty.
When you return home, you'll need to take two weeks' total, effortless rest. Similarly, it's advisable to take about 2 weeks off work.
Sports activities can be resumed after 1 month. Smoking and sun exposure should be avoided. Anticoagulants are required for at least 1 week.
You will need to attend several follow-up consultations with your surgeon.
The result of buttock lipofilling
Buttock lipofilling produces results that are immediately visible, but only definitive after three to six months. The buttocks are rounded, better defined and firmer.
Around 30% of the injected fat volume is lost in the weeks following the procedure. For this reason, a second operation at six-month intervals is common.
Once the fat graft is perfectly installed, it is permanent.
Fat cells are living tissue. When you gain or lose weight, it is normal for the buttocks to increase or decrease in volume. If you wish to preserve the results of your BBL - brazilian butt lift, it is essential to maintain a stable weight.
