Gluteal Augmentation (BBL) in Bakersfield & Stockton

Gluteal Augmentation (BBL)

For many women and men, the butt is a major area of cosmetic concern. Having an insufficient or sagging butt can prevent women from wearing many clothes they would otherwise wear. While this condition may be hereditary, it can also come following weight loss or weight gain.

At a glance

Gluteal Augmentation (sometimes referred to as “Brazilian Butt Lift”) is a 2-3 hour procedure where liposuction is done to your back, hips, and other areas to harvest fat and re-inject it into your buttocks. This liposuction is also used to shape the area around your gluteal area to give you more “roundness”.

The fat re-injected into your buttocks can shape and augment the size of your gluteal area. Depending on your body and how you heal, up to 80-90% of the fat lasts for many years.

After the surgery, the recovery is about 1-2 weeks where you should avoid sitting for extended periods of time and you must sleep on your stomach or side.

We recommend fat injection over silicone buttock implants for safety reasons.

This transformative procedure helps you achieve fuller, rounder, and more youthful-looking curves with natural-looking results. Ready to enhance your shape and confidence? Contact us today to learn how a Gluteal Augmentation can change your life.

What Is Gluteal Augmentation?

Gluteal Augmentation, often referred to as the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), is a state-of-the-art cosmetic surgery designed to enhance the size, shape, and contour of the buttocks. This procedure uses your body’s own fat to create a natural, sculpted look, combining fat transfer and liposuction for a comprehensive enhancement.

Here’s how it works:

Liposuction: Excess fat is removed from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, flanks, or back. We do this with you under anesthesia so you do not feel a thing,
Fat Purification: The harvested fat is carefully processed to ensure the highest quality for reinjection. This ensures the best "take" and results.
Fat Transfer: The purified fat is strategically injected into the buttocks to enhance volume and shape, ensuring a smooth, symmetrical, and lifted appearance.

By using your body’s natural fat, the results look and feel organic, with the added benefit of contouring other areas of your body for a slimmer, more defined look.

Why Choose a Gluteal Augmentation?

Natural Results: Unlike implants, fat transfer provides a softer, more natural look and feel. Check out our before and afters below!
