Brazilian Butt Lift

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a body contouring procedure that enhances the shape and volume of the buttocks using your own natural fat. Fat is carefully removed from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, back, or thighs, purified, and then injected into the buttocks to create a fuller, lifted, and more contoured appearance. At London Harley Street Clinics, our surgeons focus on safe fat transfer techniques to achieve natural-looking results while improving overall body proportions.

Treatment Process

A Brazilian Butt Lift is typically performed under general anaesthesia and takes approximately 2–4 hours. It includes:

Your body proportions, fat availability, and desired outcomes are assessed. Donor areas and fat transfer plans are discussed.

General anaesthesia ensures a safe and comfortable procedure.

Quick answers to questions you may have

Yes. Because your own fat is used, results are soft, natural, and tailored to your body shape.

Once the transferred fat establishes a blood supply, results can be long-lasting. Some fat loss is expected in the first few months.

When performed using modern safety protocols by experienced surgeons, BBL can be a safe and effective option. Suitability is assessed during consultation.

Incisions are very small and discreet, resulting in minimal scarring.

Our surgeons prioritise safety, proportion, and natural aesthetics, using advanced fat transfer techniques to deliver balanced, long-lasting results.
