What is Buttock Augmentation?
Buttock augmentation is the surgery responsible for improving the volume of the buttocks, and results can be achieved through different methods. At our clinic, buttock augmentation is performed by gluteal fat transfer, also known as BBL or Brazilian Butt Lift: fat is harvested from areas where it is in excess and reinjected into the buttock to add volume and redefine its shape.
Many patients come to us because the volume or shape of their buttocks does not match the rest of their silhouette, or because they have lost firmness after a pregnancy or a significant change in weight. It is a common and entirely legitimate reason to seek surgery.
At Clínica Doctora Yagües each case is assessed individually: the fat available elsewhere on the body, the quality of the skin and what each patient wants to achieve determine whether gluteal fat transfer is the right technique and what result can realistically be expected from it.

Am I a candidate for buttock augmentation
In the case of buttock augmentation, there are no major medical requirements. To undergo this surgery without risks, it is necessary to be in good health and not have any pathologies that could affect the proper execution of the operation.
All these elements will be evaluated by our team of plastic surgeons in Malaga, who will carry out the necessary tests and thoroughly review each patient’s medical history. In this way, they will ensure that each surgery is carried out with the slightest risk to the patient’s health.
Therefore, the only thing you need to come to our cosmetic surgery clinic and request buttock augmentation is to consider that you do not have adequate volume. With us, you will receive all the information you need, and you will be given details of the entire pre- and post-operative process for buttock augmentation.
How much does buttock augmentation cost in Malaga?
Before setting a price for buttock augmentation, it will be necessary to individually assess each patient’s needs. This is because, depending on their characteristics, needs, and expectations, certain procedures will need to be established to achieve the desired results
The estimate will include items such as operating theatre and hospitalisation costs, anaesthesia, the material required for the fat transfer, and post-operative check-ups. It is clear, then, that to accurately determine the cost of this surgery, you will need to meet with our surgeons at least once.
It is important to note that these prices are not the same in all clinics and will be influenced by the quality of care they provide. With us, you can be sure of receiving a fair price that includes all the safety and satisfaction guarantees you deserve in a process like this.
How long does recovery from buttock augmentation take?
It’s important to know that in the days following buttock surgery, you will feel some pain and swelling in the treated area. This will last for approximately 4 to 5 days, which may vary depending on the individual patient.
Once this recovery period has passed, our patients will be able to resume some of their normal daily activities. Of course, these will be subject to the discomfort typical of surgery of this nature.
In short, we can give our patients their final discharge starting from the third month, at which point all the symptoms that appeared during this period will have permanently disappeared.
When will I see the final results of my buttock surgery?
The final results of the buttock augmentation will appear around the third month, when the internal tissues of the buttocks have adapted to the new circumstances. That timeframe also depends on how much fat was transferred and on the characteristics of each patient.
In the case of fat transfer, it’s important to know that the results obtained will vary over time. During the first few months, the body absorbs the adipose tissue, so the appearance of the buttocks during the first few weeks will not be final.
From the third month onwards, once the swelling has settled and the fat that has taken has stabilised with its own blood supply, the result can be considered final. This is why the final assessment is made at the three to six month check-up.
What are the risks of buttock augmentation?
In general, buttock augmentation surgery has low risk rates. However, it’s important to keep in mind that in certain cases, problems or unwanted side effects may occur.
In gluteal fat transfer the most common side effects are uneven fat resorption, the appearance of small nodules or fat cysts, and contour irregularities. These are minor, treatable problems, and they become less frequent when the fat is injected in small amounts and evenly distributed.
The serious complication associated with this surgery is fat embolism, and it is prevented by the single most important rule of the technique: the fat is always injected into the subcutaneous plane, above the muscle, never inside it.
Other side effects are related to the wounds involved in this surgery. Difficulty in healing and the presence of infections are always present risks, but they can be addressed promptly by a well-prepared medical team.


What is the postoperative period like after buttock augmentation?
The postoperative period following buttock augmentation is characterized by being quick and relatively painless. In most cases, our patients report that the discomfort is much less than they imagined, making recovery considerably easier.
Initially, you may experience some pain and swelling in the treated area. It is recommended that you sleep on your stomach for the first few days to avoid interrupting the adaptation process your body needs to go through.
To reduce the symptoms described above, our plastic surgeons in Malaga will prescribe analgesics and anti-inflammatories to make your recovery more bearable. These should disappear completely after about 5 days.
It is important that you attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with your surgeon on time and that you follow their recommendations precisely. This way, your progress will be monitored closely, and any problems will be avoided
After the first two months of recovery, you will be able to definitively notice the changes. We are confident that the results of your buttock augmentation will be fully satisfactory and will give you the look you have always wanted.
How long does buttock augmentation last?
The duration of buttock augmentation is permanent and can last a lifetime. However, it is important to consider some factors and know that the results obtained vary depending on the method used.
With gluteal fat transfer, part of the grafted fat is reabsorbed during the first few months; this is a normal and predictable process. The fat that survives develops its own blood supply and integrates as one more tissue of the body.
That is why, under normal conditions, the results of buttock augmentation with your own fat do not disappear over time.
However, the adipose tissue used follows the same rules as the rest of our body. This means that with sudden weight changes, the characteristics of the buttocks may vary, just as happens with breast augmentation using your own fat.
Does the grafted fat last over time?
At Clínica Doctora Yagües the fat is processed and injected with a careful technique, in small amounts and evenly distributed, so that as much of the graft as possible takes and the result lasts.
Once the first few months have passed, the fat that has integrated behaves like any other fatty tissue in the body. This means that significant changes in weight can alter the volume of the buttocks, just as they would anywhere else.
