A well-shaped, firm buttocks is, for many people, an essential component of a harmonious body image. However, not everyone is satisfied with the shape of their buttocks, and in many cases, diet and exercise alone cannot achieve the desired results.
With a buttocks augmentation using fat transfer—also known as the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)—the buttocks can be enhanced, shaped, and emphasized. At clinic utoquai in Zurich, we utilize modern liposuction techniques and precise fat transfer to contour your buttocks according to your needs. Our focus is always on achieving a natural result.
By combining fat removal from other body areas with the targeted sculpting of the buttocks through fat transfer (Lipofilling), we create a balanced and aesthetic overall appearance. This approach helps boost confidence and satisfaction with your body.
Buttocks augmentation using fat transfer offers a natural way to shape the buttocks. At the same time, unwanted “problem areas” can be addressed effectively.

During an in-depth consultation, we assess your body proportions, fat distribution, and desired buttock shape. Sufficient fat reserves in other body areas are a prerequisite for a successful procedure. We’ll explain the entire treatment process, discuss potential risks, go over post-operative care, and answer all your questions.
We recommend avoiding blood-thinning medications approximately two weeks before the procedure. Abstaining from nicotine and alcohol is also advised.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1.5–2.5 hours. First, fat is harvested—for example, from the hip, back, or abdomen—and specially processed. Next, the purified fat cells are strategically injected into the buttock area using micro-injections.
For the first two weeks after surgery, you should wear the prescribed compression garment to optimize the natural healing process. Avoid physical activity and sports for the next four weeks. Most patients feel ready to return to work after two weeks.
Is the Brazilian Butt Lift a high-risk procedure?
When performed by an experienced specialist, buttocks augmentation with fat is considered a safe procedure. Possible side effects include swelling and bruising, which typically resolve on their own. In rare cases, temporary sensory changes or a feeling of tightness in the buttocks may occur. Thanks to modern techniques and comprehensive aftercare, these issues generally subside within a few weeks, allowing you to feel comfortable again quickly.
Is buttocks augmentation with fat permanent?
Yes, as long as you maintain a stable body weight, the results of the BBL are long-lasting.
How long does it take to see results?
The final result is visible after approximately six months, once all swelling has gone down and the fat cells have fully integrated.
Are there visible scars?
The incisions made during liposuction and fat transfer are minimal. These scars fade over time and are practically invisible.
What is the cost of buttocks augmentation with fat?
Costs vary depending on the extent of the procedure. Prices at clinic utoquai generally start at 12,000 CHF.
