Buttock augmentation with your own fat is a hot topic in the media. Insta-girls are posting “belfies”. In Brazil, the focus has always been more on the buttocks than the breasts, and that trend has now spread to Europe as well. Internationally, there is a lot of focus on BBL. Demand is very high, and it is important that the plastic surgeon has extensive knowledge and practical experience with lipoinjection and BBL. BBL is a safe treatment when performed correctly.
“I felt safe throughout the entire process, and the result was both natural and beautiful. I could not be more satisfied – definitely a recommendation from me.”
Bodycontouring | BBL
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a fat transfer technique used to create a rounder and more defined shape of the buttocks using your own fat tissue.
I perform BBL as an independent procedure or as part of body contouring, with the aim of creating a slimmer and more defined waist, correcting buttock shape, and achieving a more harmonious and feminine body contour. Fat transfer (also called lipofilling/lipoinjection) makes it possible to achieve natural-looking and individually tailored results. I use the water-jet technique to ensure the best possible survival of the fat cells. The technique provides lasting results.
BBL may be relevant for you if you wish for:

Body contouring to achieve a harmonious body shape
Many consider BBL and body contouring with their own fat a win-win situation, as it allows them to remove fat from areas where there is too much – for example, the abdomen, lower back, and flanks – and add volume to areas where it is lacking. Body shapes are different, and you can do a lot yourself to train and tone the gluteal muscles. However, if you cannot achieve the body shape you want through exercise and a healthy diet, BBL may be relevant.
First, liposuction is performed in areas with excess fat tissue, typically the abdomen, lower back, and flanks. I often perform 360-degree liposuction to contour the body as effectively as possible and create a slimmer waist. I use water-assisted liposuction to ensure gentle fat removal and the best possible survival of the fat cells. The fat tissue is then purified and finally injected into specific areas of the buttocks to provide a lift and create a rounder and more defined shape. The fat is injected only into the subcutaneous tissue and not into the muscles.
In some cases, it is also beneficial to inject fat along the border between the gluteal muscles and the hip in order to create a soft, feminine curve and contour the body optimally. This is individually designed.
Note: The buttocks are made up of the large and smaller gluteal muscles. Between the skin and the muscles, there is a natural fat layer. Within and beneath the muscles are important blood vessels and nerves. Previously, fat was injected into both the musculature and the natural fat layer, but it is now recommended to inject fat only just beneath the skin, into the natural fat layer. Performing BBL requires experience, but it is a treatment with very high patient satisfaction.

Those best suited for BBL are women and men who carry a few extra kilos compared to their ideal weight. Especially if there is excess fat tissue on the abdomen and lower back, fat transfer can help both to accentuate the waist and to lift/correct the shape of the buttocks.
Not all women and men are suitable candidates for the procedure. To determine whether the technique may be relevant for you, it is therefore important to have an individual assessment and thorough information.
Safety is essential when undergoing BBL. When fat transfer is performed correctly, it is a safe treatment with high patient satisfaction. However, if too much liposuction is carried out, or if the fat is injected incorrectly or too deeply, it can lead to serious complications. In Denmark, we must be certified specialists in plastic surgery and approved by the Danish Health Authority to perform cosmetic procedures, including lipoinjection. Furthermore, surgical outcomes depend both on proper patient selection, the surgeon’s experience in lipoinjection and BBL, and the patient being well-informed and following the post-operative recommendations to achieve the best possible result.
When performed correctly, the surgery is no more dangerous than other operations. I have worked with lipoinjection for many years and have attended BBL masterclasses, hands-on safety courses, and study stays in many different places around the world.
My preference for body contouring and buttock lift is beautiful and harmonious round shapes that suit the body. The appearance should not be oversized. The results of body contouring with buttock lift can make a significant visual difference. It is not only about size but about shape.
