Buttock Augmentation using Fat Graft

Buttock augmentation using fat grafting is a cosmetic body contouring procedure that enhances the size, shape, and projection of the buttocks using your own natural fat. Fat is carefully harvested from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, back, or thighs, purified, and then strategically injected into the buttocks to create a fuller, smoother, and more natural appearance. At London Harley Street Clinics, our surgeons focus on safe fat transfer techniques to improve body proportions and achieve natural-looking results.

The Smooth Eye Laser treatment was fantastic! It completely rejuvenated my under-eye area, making me look well-rested and youthful. The procedure was quick, painless, and the results are simply amazing. Highly recommend it for anyone dealing with fine lines or sagging skin around the eyes.

Quick answers to questions you may have

Yes. Using your own fat results in soft, natural-looking volume that moves and feels like natural tissue.

Once the transferred fat establishes a blood supply, results can be long-lasting. Some fat loss is expected early on.

Fat grafting avoids foreign materials and is suitable for many patients. Suitability depends on fat availability and individual anatomy.

Incisions are very small and discreet, leaving minimal scarring.

Our surgeons prioritise safety, proportion, and precision, using advanced fat transfer techniques to deliver balanced, natural body enhancement.
