Ester’s case
Ester is 25 years old and wanted to improve the shape and volume of her buttocks to achieve a more harmonious, projected figure. Despite her youth, she felt that her gluteal area was not in proportion with the rest of her body, and that her overall silhouette lacked the balance she was looking for.
Her desire was a rounder, more voluminous and lifted result that would harmonise with her overall figure.
What motivated Ester
Ester’s primary objective was to gain volume in the buttocks and “lift” the area, improving projection and shape without implants, using her own body fat for a more natural result.
At the same time, she wished to slim the abdomen and flanks simultaneously to achieve an overall result: a more defined waist and fuller buttocks. Buttock augmentation via gluteal fat transfer delivers the characteristic hourglass silhouette effect: removing fat from the abdomen creates a flatter stomach, while transferring it to the gluteal area produces fuller, more defined buttocks.
Many patients wish to project fat particularly into the Hip Dips — the natural indentations on the lateral hip — to achieve a continuous, harmonious curve.
Medical assessment
At the consultation it was confirmed that Ester had sufficient fat deposits in the abdomen and flanks to carry out the liposuction and use that fat for buttock augmentation.
Her anatomy allowed planning of a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), a technique that combines trunk remodelling through liposuction with fat transfer to the gluteal region, achieving simultaneous improvement in both areas.
The procedure
The procedure was carried out in the following phases:
- Liposuction of abdomen and flanks to harvest donor fat
- In-situ purification of the harvested fat
- Fat fill of both buttocks with the purified fat
This combination — gluteal fat transfer — simultaneously improved waist contour and the volume and projection of the gluteal region, achieving the hourglass effect Ester was seeking.
Post-operative care
The post-operative period following a BBL has some important specificities:
- Avoid direct pressure on the buttocks during the first month to encourage survival of the transferred fat
- Wear compression garments over the liposuctioned areas (abdomen and flanks)
- Respect the recovery timelines set by the medical team
These precautions are essential for the transferred fat to integrate correctly into the tissue and for the result to be maintained.
Result and maintenance with training
The result showed a visible increase in gluteal volume, with the area more lifted and rounded. The overall body contour was much more proportionate thanks to the simultaneous reduction of the abdomen and flanks.
NATURAL FIT® Body Contouring includes free access to specialist toning training centres as part of its body surgery packages. In fat transfer cases, training is particularly important: a specific programme helps optimise the treated area and improve projection and firmness.
For long-lasting results, it is important to build on the fat transfer with dedicated muscle work. The combination of surgery and guided exercise transforms physical change into a sustainable habit — results that last a lifetime.
If you are based in Barcelona and want to increase your buttock volume using your own fat, at NATURAL FIT® Body Contouring we assess whether you are a candidate for a BBL and design the most appropriate surgical plan for your anatomy.
