What is Buttock Enlargement surgery?
The size and shape of the buttocks are important for an attractive body. In the past decade, there is more attention on a pleasing and shapely butt. Many women and men have a buttock that is small, unshapely or out of proportion with the rest of their body.
Buttock Enlargement is a cosmetic surgery done to improve the appearance of your backside. Here, the size, shape and contour of your buttock is enhanced and made more attractive.
Buttock enlargement can be done with the use of silicone implants or by transfer of your own body fat. Buttock augmentation by autologous fat transfer is the more popular technique due to certain advantages. This fat transfer procedure is also known as Brazilian Butt Lift or BBL surgery.
Who is the right candidate for Buttock Augmentation with fat transfer?
You are a good candidate for Buttock Enlargement with Fat transfer if:
You are concerned about the small size or unattractive shape of your buttocks
Your butt is not in proportion with your upper body and appears small
With age or pregnancy your buttocks have lost volume and appear flat
The shape of your butt is not appealing
You feel that your buttock is somewhat loose and sagging
There are extra fat deposits in other parts of your body
You do not wish to have artificial implants
Your weight is within a healthy range
You have realistic expectations regarding the results.
You are otherwise healthy with no major medical or surgical illnesses
What are the benefits of a BBL surgery?
BBL surgery will improve the appearance of your buttocks and make it more appealing. It will make you look younger and more attractive.
A Buttock Enlargement can do the following:
Increase the size of your buttocks in a natural way
Improve the shape of your butt
Reduce the sagging and loose skin of your buttocks
Remove extra fat from other parts of your body like your tummy, back or thighs
Correct any asymmetry of the two sides
What Buttock Enlargement can’t do?
Sometimes the buttocks are very loose and sagging, especially following a significant weight loss or advanced age. BBL surgery will not help in lifting or tightening very loose skin. The sagging can only be improved mildly. Severe drooping requires other procedures like a lower body lift.

What are the steps involved in Buttock Enlargement surgery in Mumbai?
Buttock Augmentation surgery in Mumbai is basically a Fat Transfer procedure. It involves two parts. Extra fat from other body parts is removed by Liposuction. This fat is then prepared and injected into the buttocks in a certain specialized manner to enhance the shape and size.
The procedure is usually done under general anesthesia for your own comfort. We mark the areas of excess fat while you are still standing. The parts of the buttock that need special attention are also marked. Then we plan and take the keyhole cuts so that they are hidden in the skin creases.
Three basic steps are involved in this procedure:
1. Taking out or Harvesting the Fat by Liposuction
We choose a single area or multiple body areas with extra fat. This is usually the front or side of the tummy, thighs, arms or lower back. Many a time, the area immediately around the butt is also chosen to enhance the final shape.
The chosen area is made numb with injection of tumescent fluid. Then, the required quantity of fat is taken out by liposuction. It is done through ‘keyhole’ cuts that are barely seen. There are no large cuts or stitches taken.
The liposuction is usually continued till the donor area is also in a better shape than before. Thus, BBL gives you the benefit of a comprehensive body contouring.
2. Preparing the Fat
We purify and carefully prepare the extracted fat after harvest. This ensures that the fat is not damaged and most of it survives after injection. The whole process is done under strict sterility to avoid any risk of infection.
3. Injecting the Fat
The prepared fat is carefully injected into the planned areas of the buttock through tiny ‘keyholes’. The injection is slow so that the fat is evenly spread over the entire area. The technique of fat grafting is a specialized process. The experience and skill of the plastic surgeon also determines that most of the grafted fat survives. The procedure also needs an aesthetic eye to give you the best shape and contour.
What to expect immediately after Buttock Enlargement surgery?
The operated areas are covered in absorbent dressing. The donor areas are usually given tight compression with the use of custom made pressure garments. You will be comfortable enough to walk around immediately after the procedure. Prefer to lie on your stomach or side and avoid sitting. You can go home the same day after a short procedure. But I advise my patients to stay overnight for their safety and comfort. You can resume normal daily activities the next day but within certain limitations. Basic antibiotics and analgesics will continue for 3 to 5 days.
How soon will I return to normal daily activity after BBL surgery?
Normal daily activities resume the next day. You may experience some discomfort and soreness in the operated areas and may wish to take it easy for a few days. Mild painkillers are able to relieve this pain and keep you comfortable. In a week’s time most of the medications will be stopped.
What restrictions will be needed after BBL surgery?
After a buttock enlargement with fat transfer, you need to be particular about taking some precautions. You will need to avoid sitting and sleeping on your butt for two weeks. Prefer to lie on your tummy or sides. You can stand and do other activities. You can return to work soon while following these restrictions.
After two weeks, you may sit on a special cushion or lie on your butt with a cushion under your back. Prolonged pressure on the butt needs to be avoided for a few weeks because it may damage the fat. This is important to ensure maximum uptake of the grafted fat. During this period you will also be avoiding vigorous physical activity and heavy dieting. It will be essential that you don’t lose weight by rigorous dieting over the next few months. You will need to wear the compression garment diligently for a month. This ensures that the swelling subsides quicker and the skin tightening occurs well.
Gentle massage of the operated areas is beneficial. You can resume vigorous activity and heavy exercises only after adequate healing has taken place. I will advise you regarding this during your follow visits.
When will I see the results after my BBL surgery in Mumbai?
You will appreciate the results of your BBL surgery immediately. You will notice that your butt is larger and more projected. The shape of your buttock will be more round and appealing.
The donor areas of the tummy and thighs will be more sculpted and shapely. These results are visible immediately and continue to improve over time.
Immediately after the operation, your buttocks will appear swollen. The size of the butt also appears exaggerated due to the swelling and overfilling. Most of this swelling slowly disappears in a few weeks and the buttocks start looking more natural.
Over the coming months, the shape of your enlarged buttock will continue to become more natural. The reduced tummy will also appear more toned and tight with time.
How long will the results last after Buttock Enlargement surgery in Mumbai?
The results that we get from a Buttock Augmentation Surgery in Mumbai are long term. You do not need to take any precautions after proper healing is complete. Fat that is removed with liposuction will not return to the donor area. The fat that is grafted to the buttocks will remain for years to come. However, significant weight changes can affect your results. So maintain a stable weight to retain your new look.
BBL surgery in Mumbai will give you a natural enhancement of your buttocks. The grafted fat is living tissue. This fat behaves like any other fat in your body. If you put on weight, the fat in your butt may increase. If you lose weight, you may lose some of the volume in the butt as the fat shrinks a little. But the enhanced shape and size from BBL are long lasting.
Which other surgeries can be combined with Buttock Enlargement surgery in Mumbai?
Buttock Enlargement may be combined with other surgeries of the face and body:
Body contouring is a part of the BBL process. Liposuction of other areas can be easily combined. Some of the additions are Liposuction of the lower and upper back, high definition liposuction of the abdomen and correction of saddlebags by liposuction of the thighs.
Breast enlargement with implants is also rewarding.
Face shaping with fat grafting is also a commonly done procedure. It corrects under eye hollows permanently and makes you look years younger.
Patients often choose non-surgical face treatments like Botox, Dermal fillers, Peels and Laser skin resurfacing simultaneously. These will enhance the appearance of the whole face.
Buccal fat pad removal, Double chin correction, Implant surgery like Cheek implants, Chin Implant and Nose Implant may be done.
Hair transplant and reconstructive surgery are sometimes done together.
What are the risks associated with BBL surgery in Mumbai?
BBL surgery in Mumbai is safe and free of major concerns or risks to heath.
Some of the possible adverse events are bleeding, bruising, hematoma, skin discoloration or swelling, poor wound healing and scarring. These are uncommon in most cases. There could be lumps, bumps, contour deformities or asymmetry. These can be easily corrected.
Some of the grafted fat is always lost in the process of transfer. This loss differs from person to person. The amount of fat that remains determines the amount of augmentation that is achieved.
What about scars after Buttock Enlargement surgery?
There are no large scars after a Buttock Augmentation surgery. A BBL surgery is performed through tiny ‘keyhole’ cuts which are hidden in the skin folds. These marks are as small as pimple marks and gradually fade with time. They are not an issue with most of the patients.
A Scar less Buttock Enlargement does not leave any visible scars.
What if I don’t have enough fat for a Buttock Enlargement surgery?
You don’t need to be very fat or even overweight for a BBL surgery. Liposuction techniques will be able to remove enough fat from areas with extra fat deposits.
If you are very lean with a low body fat percentage, we may not have enough fat for a BBL. In such cases, we can do a Buttock Implant surgery. In this procedure, silicone implants are placed in your buttocks to permanently increase their size and shape. Butt Implants are popular and cause a dramatic improvement in your butt shape.
How to choose the best Plastic Surgeon for Buttock Enlargement in Mumbai?
Buttock Enlargement surgery in Mumbai is a specialized process and your plastic surgeon also needs to be an expert at it. BBL surgery may be simple but requires technical skills that take years to master. Fat transfer results vary a lot depending upon the plastic surgeon’s skill and experience. The expertise of the plastic surgeon will make the procedure smooth and safe for you.
It is important that you choose the best plastic surgeon for BBL surgery in Mumbai. Be sure that your plastic surgeon is fully qualified and board certified.
Your plastic surgeon should have additional fellowship training, specifically in cosmetic surgery. He should be well experienced with different types of Buttock Enlargement. He should be confident to manage minor problems if they arise.
It is also important that your plastic surgeon is easy to talk to, answers your questions diligently and treats you with care and concern. Having a good rapport with your plastic surgeon is essential. He should be available for follow up care and support.
How much does Buttock Enlargement cost in Mumbai?
Buttock augmentation with fat transfer gives you the double benefit of butt enlargement and fat loss from the tummy. The cost of BBL surgery in Mumbai is quite affordable. The surgery cost includes the hospital and anesthetist charges, besides the surgical fee. Different doctors will charge you differently according to their own qualification and experience.
Remember that the plastic surgeon’s expertise and experience, along with your comfort with him, is more important than the total cost of the procedure. I will discuss all these options and formulate a plan suitable for you during your consultation.
Which is the best hospital for Buttock Enlargement surgery in Mumbai?
BBL surgery needs to be done under general anesthesia in most cases. This is for your safety and comfort. We need to take the utmost precautions regarding safety and sterility.
I always choose a reputable hospital for complex surgeries involving multiple body areas. This way, you can be assured of the highest standards of hygiene, safety and medical care. A well-equipped hospital will have a skilled team of anesthetists and nurses to look after you during and after surgery.
I prefer to operate at Lilavati Hospital and research center in Bandra west, Mumbai for these reasons. Lilavati hospital is ranked among the top hospitals in the country. It gives you the quality and comfort of a corporate hospital at very affordable pricing.
Words of Wisdom!
Buttock Enlargement surgery is relatively simple. But that is only because I have mastered it with years of training and loads of experience.
Unfortunately, there are many unqualified people doing these procedures thinking that it is very simple. If wrongly done, BBL surgery can leave permanent problems. These may be chronic infections, contour deformities and asymmetry, to name a few. I have corrected such problems and believe me that they are best avoided.
So be sure to choose the best cosmetic surgeon in Mumbai for Brazilian Butt Lift surgery. This will ensure that you get the best possible results safely.
