The Procedure

What Is Buttock Reduction?

Buttock reduction is a reduction liposculpture procedure designed for patients who present excessive or disproportionate gluteal volume relative to the rest of their body. Through advanced liposuction techniques, localised excess fat in the buttocks is removed in a controlled manner to achieve a more slender, balanced, and harmonious contour.

The procedure is performed through small incisions strategically placed in natural folds, through which a fine cannula is introduced to aspirate fat precisely and evenly. The surgeon models the buttock while respecting its natural anatomy to avoid irregularities, ensuring a uniform reduction that preserves the rounded, aesthetic shape of the area.

This procedure is particularly appreciated by those who feel that the size of their buttocks causes physical discomfort, difficulty finding clothing that fits correctly, or a visible disproportion with the rest of their silhouette. Buttock reduction restores bodily balance and significantly improves the patient's confidence and well-being.

Benefits

Benefits of Buttock Reduction

Body Proportion

Achieves a harmonious balance between the buttocks and the rest of the body, improving the overall silhouette proportion naturally.

Greater Comfort

Reduces the physical discomfort associated with excess volume and makes it easier to wear clothing with a more comfortable and flattering fit.

Minimal Incisions

Small incisions are placed in natural folds, leaving scars that are virtually imperceptible once recovery is complete.

Swift Recovery

Thanks to minimally invasive techniques, most patients resume their daily activities within a short period of time.

Ideal Candidate

Who Is This Procedure For?

  • Individuals with excessive or disproportionate gluteal volume that does not respond to diet or exercise.
  • Patients who experience physical discomfort or difficulty finding clothing that fits their figure appropriately.
  • Those seeking to restore balance and proportion between the gluteal area and the rest of their body silhouette.
  • Individuals with good skin elasticity, allowing adequate skin retraction after volume reduction.
  • Adults over 18 with stable weight, good general health, and realistic expectations regarding the results.
Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions Answered

Liposculpture performed by an accredited plastic surgeon in a hospital operating theatre has a very high safety profile, according to the Spanish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (SECPRE). Serious complications are infrequent when pre-operative protocols and safe extraction volumes are respected.
Traditional liposuction removes volume globally. Gluteal liposculpture is selective and artistic: it extracts fat with millimetre precision to sculpt the contour while respecting the anatomy. At NATURAL FIT® we add ultrasonic Vaser and Renuvion for skin retraction, which is not performed in conventional liposuction.
Incisions are 2–3 mm and are placed in naturally concealed areas (natural folds, the navel, the groin, or anatomical grooves depending on the zone). With the recommended post-operative care, the scar is virtually imperceptible in most patients within 6–12 months.
The procedure is not suitable for individuals with significant obesity (BMI above 30, where weight loss is recommended first), severe clotting disorders, uncontrolled cardiovascular disease, pregnancy or breastfeeding, or patients with unrealistic expectations. Medical assessment determines candidacy.
The procedure takes between 1.5 and 3 hours depending on the extent of the area treated. It is performed as outpatient major surgery: you go home the same day after a few hours of observation. Hospitalisation is not required except in specific cases assessed by the surgeon.
Honest Information

Risks and Safety of Buttock Reduction

Every surgical procedure, however minimally invasive, carries risks. We explain them transparently so you can make a fully informed decision. At NATURAL FIT® Body Contouring we apply the strictest protocols to minimise them as much as possible.

Haematomas and Seromas

Accumulation of blood or fluid in the treated area. The compression garment and lymphatic drainage minimise their occurrence; when they develop, they resolve with medical management.

Contour Irregularities

Minor asymmetries or skin undulations may appear in some cases. The Vaser and PAL Microaire technique greatly reduces this risk, though it does not eliminate it entirely.

Sensitivity Changes

It is common to notice numbness, tingling, or hypersensitivity in the treated area for weeks or months. Normal sensation returns progressively.

Infection

Low risk thanks to the strict aseptic protocol and antibiotic prophylaxis. Warning signs (fever, redness, increasing pain) are monitored at follow-up appointments.

Venous Thrombosis

An infrequent but serious risk. We prevent it with compression stockings, heparin prophylaxis when indicated, and early mobilisation from the first 24 hours.

Scarring

The 2–3 mm incisions heal very well in most skin types. In skin prone to keloids or hypertrophy, this is assessed beforehand and the post-operative plan is adjusted accordingly.

According to the Spanish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (SECPRE), liposculpture is one of the most frequently performed aesthetic procedures in Spain and has a very high safety profile when carried out by an accredited plastic surgeon in a hospital setting, respecting safe extraction volumes.
