Buttock Implants

Buttock surgery refers to procedures designed to lift, shape, or enhance the appearance of the buttocks. This may involve buttock implants, fat transfer (BBL), or a combination of both techniques, depending on your unique anatomy and goals.

Buttock Implants

For patients who don’t have enough body fat for fat transfer, buttock implants can be the ideal solution. Implants are made of soft silicone and placed either within or underneath the gluteal muscles. Dr Cotrufo specialises in intramuscular placement for the most natural-looking and long-lasting results.

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

BBL surgery involves transferring fat from another part of your body, such as your waist, flanks or thighs, into your buttocks for added volume and shape. Dr Cotrufo’s BBL technique is refined, safe and tailored to highlight the curves that suit your frame.

Your buttock surgery will be performed under general anaesthesia in a leading private hospital.

• A single incision is made discreetly in the buttock crease
• Implants are placed securely within or below the gluteal muscle
• If fat transfer is combined, liposuction is performed before fat is reinjected
• The incision is closed using dissolvable stitches

The procedure typically takes 1.5–2 hours, with an overnight stay for observation and comfort.

Recovery is smooth and carefully supported by Dr Cotrufo and his aftercare team:

• You’ll follow a custom “no-sit” protocol for the first two weeks
• Return to work is usually possible within 2–4 weeks
• Bruising and swelling subside in 7–14 days
• Full results settle in 2–3 months
• Aftercare includes regular follow-up visits and advice available directly from Dr Cotrufo

Buttock surgery is ideal for individuals who:

• Have naturally flat or square-shaped buttocks
• Lack of sufficient fat for a BBL
• Want more projection or definition than filler can offer
• Are in good overall health and non-smokers

Dr Cotrufo will assess your anatomy and recommend the most appropriate approach based on your goals, skin elasticity and proportions.

Implants are long-lasting and durable, often remaining in place for 10+ years. Dr Cotrufo only uses high-grade medical implants from trusted suppliers such as Polytech (Germany).

Yes, when placed intramuscularly, implants look and feel like natural muscle tissue. Dr Cotrufo is highly skilled in achieving seamless results.

Not right away. You’ll be asked to avoid sitting or sleeping directly on your buttocks for about 2 weeks post-op. Dr Cotrufo will guide you through his sitting protocol.

BBL uses your fat and is ideal if you have enough to harvest. Implants provide more volume and shape for patients who are slim or want greater enhancement. Some patients choose to combine both.
