Enhancing the shape and volume of the buttocks has become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures worldwide, with many patients seeking a fuller, more youthful silhouette. Traditional implants are one option, but for those looking for a more natural result, buttock augmentation with natural fat transfer—commonly referred to as the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)—is the ideal solution. This procedure uses your own fat, harvested from areas where it’s not wanted, to sculpt and augment the buttocks naturally.
At London BBL Surgery and Body Contouring, Dr. Daniel Del Vecchio is a world-renowned plastic surgeon who has spent decades perfecting his techniques in fat transfer and body contouring. Known for his expertise in the field, Dr. Del Vecchio offers safe, innovative approaches to buttock augmentation that ensure natural-looking, long-lasting results for his patients. His patented techniques have revolutionized the way BBLs are performed, reducing risks and providing exceptional outcomes.
What Is Buttock Augmentation with Natural Fat?
Buttock augmentation with natural fat, also known as autologous fat grafting, is a minimally invasive procedure that enhances the size, shape, and projection of the buttocks using the patient’s own fat. Fat is harvested from areas like the abdomen, waist, and love handles, then purified and strategically injected into the buttocks to create a fuller, more rounded appearance. This natural approach avoids the complications associated with synthetic implants, such as rupture or displacement, and offers a more natural look and feel.
Dr. Del Vecchio’s innovative techniques ensure a high survival rate for the transferred fat cells, leading to lasting volume in the buttocks. Additionally, his ultrasound-guided technology enhances the safety of the procedure, reducing risks to those comparable to standard liposuction. Whether you want to add subtle curves or achieve a more dramatic transformation, Dr. Del Vecchio’s approach to buttock rejuvenation with natural fat provides stunning, natural results.
Benefits of Buttock Augmentation with Natural Fat in London
There are several key benefits to choosing natural fat transfer for buttock augmentation over traditional implant surgery:
- Natural Look and Feel: Because your own fat is used, the buttocks feel soft and natural. The results blend seamlessly with your body’s existing contours.
- No Synthetic Implants: This procedure eliminates the risks associated with synthetic implants, such as infection, rupture, or the need for future replacements.
- Dual Benefit: The fat transfer process removes unwanted fat from areas like the abdomen, waist, or love handles while enhancing the buttocks, offering an overall improvement in body contour.
- Minimally Invasive: With small incisions and no need for implants, recovery is faster and scarring is minimal.
- Safe and Effective: Dr. Del Vecchio’s patented techniques ensure the safest possible outcomes with ultrasound guidance, reducing risks to those of standard liposuction.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Buttock augmentation with natural fat is a straightforward procedure that can be completed within a few hours. Here’s what you can expect:
- Consultation: During your consultation with Dr. Del Vecchio at London BBL Surgery and Body Contouring, your goals will be discussed, and Dr. Del Vecchio will assess the areas from which fat can be harvested. The amount of fat available for transfer will help determine the final volume and shape of the buttocks.
- Fat Harvesting: Fat is carefully removed from the abdomen, waist, love handles, or arms through liposuction. Dr. Del Vecchio uses advanced techniques to minimize trauma to the surrounding tissue and optimize fat survival.
- Fat Purification: Once the fat is harvested, it is purified and prepared for reinjection. Only the healthiest fat cells are used for transfer to ensure long-lasting results.
- Fat Transfer: The purified fat is then strategically injected into the buttocks to create a smooth, natural shape. Dr. Del Vecchio’s precise methods ensure even distribution of fat, providing balanced, natural-looking augmentation.
- Recovery: Recovery is quicker than traditional implant surgery, with most patients returning to light activities within a few days. While you will need to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for about a week, you can expect to see initial results within a few weeks, with full results appearing as the swelling subsides.
