What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
The Brazilian Butt Lift is rapidly becoming a popular cosmetic procedure in Manchester, known for its inventive, bespoke approach to buttock enhancement. Our Brazilian Butt Lift Manchester service uses your body’s own excess fat to lift and add volume to your buttocks, making it a preferred method for many in the city. A key benefit of the Brazilian Butt Lift in Manchester is the simultaneous use of liposuction. Fat is carefully removed from areas such the thighs, flanks, abdomen and lower back, then it is purified. after that it is strategically injected into one’s buttocks to enhance size and shape.
Dr. Frati precisely injects this fat into your targeted areas to increase volume and create a look that aligns with your personal preferences and goals. His method allows for a high degree of customisation, giving you and Dr. Frati the control needed to sculpt your desired silhouette. The successful outcome is a more shapely buttock area, whilst complemented by a slimmer abdomen and thigh area, emphasising a desired hourglass figure.
The Brazilian Butt Lift in Manchester has grown in popularity for many reasons. This procedure involves only minor incisions for liposuction and fat injection, and so equating to minimal scarring. Said small incisions also lead to a faster recovery. Many patients in Manchester are drawn to the Brazilian Butt Lift because it uses the body’s natural fat, providing a more natural and proportionate result.
The Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure
Your Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) will take place at our state-of-the-art facility in Deansgate, Manchester, which exceeds the UK’s national healthcare standards. Dr Frati’s team will ensure you receive the highest level of care in a safe and optimal environment. As an independent healthcare provider fully accredited by the Care Quality Commission, our clinic undergoes common inspections annually to maintain the top-tier standards required within critical areas such as equipment quality and infection control.
Throughout your BBL Manchester journey, Dr Frati will be readily available to address any concerns. Moreover, our consultant anaesthetist will administer your general anaesthetic, and stay with you throughout the BBL procedure, monitoring your well-being as you come back around.
Our Brazilian Butt Lift Manchester procedure, which involves gluteal sculpting and a superficial fat transfer, is performed under general anaesthetic using the TIVA (Total Intravenous Anaesthesia) technique. This approach offers a smoother recovery compared to alternative anaesthetic techniques, with fewer side effects like drowsiness or dizziness. You will be able to leave our clinic the same day once your anaesthetic has worn off.
A Brazilian Butt Lift in Manchester typically takes about 3 to 4 hours, depending on the extent of liposuction required. It involves three main stages:
1. Liposuction
Fat is removed from a donor area, such as your thighs, hips, or abdomen, using power-assisted liposuction (PAL Lipo). Unlike other methods, PAL Lipo doesn’t use heat, which reduces the risk of injury to the surrounding skin. The surgeon makes several small incisions to insert the liposuction cannulas, and the fat is then carefully removed, processed, and purified.
2. Fat Processing
The extracted fat is processed with saline to cleanse it before reinjection. The SAFElipo technique increases the number of viable fat cells, enhancing the success of the transfer. The amount of fat injected is based on your preoperative plan, tailored to your desired outcome.
3. Fat Injection
The processed fat is injected into your buttocks using the expansion vibration lipofilling (EVL) technique, with multiple injections made above the muscle using specially designed blunt-tipped cannulas. This stage allows your surgeon to sculpt your buttocks, creating a fuller, more rounded appearance.
During the fat injection stage, our surgeons take several precautions to minimise the risk of complications. These include:
- Using a specialised cannula designed specifically for BBL
- Injecting fat only when the cannula is in motion
- Maintaining the correct angulation to avoid deeper layers near the muscle
- Steering clear of gluteal veins and the sciatic nerve
- Ensuring fat is injected above the muscle, not into it
- Avoiding bendable cannulas, which could compromise control
- Using real-time ultrasound visualisation to monitor the cannula tip at all times
4. After the Procedure
After the procedure, you’ll be fitted with a specialised BBL compression garment to support your recovery. It’s important to be aware of the potential risks associated with having a BBL abroad, particularly in countries like Turkey, where safety standards may not be as stringent. Choosing to have your BBL with us ensures you are in the safest hands, with expert care and advanced techniques to achieve your desired results.

What are the Benefits of a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Our Brazilian Butt Lift Manchester surgery offers several notable benefits, it therefore a popular choice for many in the 2020’s. Here are some of the key advantages:
Enhanced Body Proportions
BBL surgery helps create a curvaceous figure by adding volume to the buttocks while reducing fat in areas like the waist, abdomen, or thighs. Think hourglass.
Use of Natural Materials
Unlike some procedures that can rely on synthetic implants, a BBL procedure uses one’s own body fat to enhance one’s buttocks, which reduces the risks of post procedure complications and provides a more natural look and feel.
Dual Benefit
Our BBL Manchester procedure includes liposuction to remove excess fat from other parts of the body, offering the dual advantage of slimming those areas while enhancing the buttocks.
Minimal Scarring
The incisions made during this type of surgery are typically very small, so you can expect a minimal, often unnoticeable, scarring.
Improved Self-Confidence
BBL procedures can significantly boost self-esteem of patients, and confidence around body image. Enhancing your physical appearance and creating a more balanced, attractive figure.
Long-Lasting Results
With stable weight maintenance, the results of our Brazilian Butt Lift Manchester Service can be long-lasting. Transferred fat integrates with existing tissues, which leads to permanent changes in your figure.
Quick Recovery
Recovery time after our Brazilian Butt Lift Manchester procedure is typically shorter than with the more unnatural synthetic buttock implants, with most patients returning to normal activities certainly within a few weeks.

Am I a good candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift in Manchester?
Am I a good candidate for a BBL?
The ideal candidates for Brazilian Butt Lift surgery in Manchester are those in good overall health, and those who have realistic expectations about the results. Here are some specific traits that make someone a strong candidate for BBL in Manchester:
Sufficient Fat Deposits
Since a BBL involves transferring fat from other areas of your body to your buttocks, you ideally need to have excess fat in other regions like the abdomen, hips, thighs, or lower back.
Good Skin Elasticity
Having good skin elasticity is also important, as it helps your skin reshape and adjust after the fat transfer procedure, leading to a smoother and more natural-looking result.
Stable Weight
It’s crucial to maintain a stable weight before and after this procedure. Significant weight fluctuations can alter the results of a BBL, as changes in weight can affect the size of the transferred fat cells in your buttocks. Dr Frati can talk through this with you.
Non-Smoker
Smoking can impair your body’s ability to heal and increase the risk of complications during and after a BBL in Manchester. If you are a smoker, you’ll be advised to stop for before and after the procedure.
Healthy Lifestyle
Maintaining a good overall healthy lifestyle is essential to minimise any risks and to ensure the best recovery. This can include regularly exercising and a balanced diet.
Realistic Expectations
A suitable candidate understands that while a BBL can enhance the shape and size of their buttocks, there are actually limits to this cosmetic technique, and results can vary based on individual body types.
Commitment to Recovery
Recovery from a BBL requires downtime and specific restrictions, such as avoiding direct pressure on the buttocks. You should be prepared to follow Dr Frati’s postoperative instructions to achieve the best results.
More Brazilian Butt Lift FAQs
How do I prepare for a BBL?
Dr Frati and his team will provide you with detailed instructions to ensure you’re well-prepared for your Brazilian Butt Lift in London. If you have any pre-existing health conditions or are on medication, we’ll offer tailored guidelines to manage these effectively before your surgery. For example, if you have diabetes, we’ll schedule your surgery early in the morning to enhance safety.
Dr. Frati may also suggest temporarily stopping certain medications and supplements before your Brazilian Butt Lift. If you smoke, it’s essential to quit at least four weeks prior to your surgery and continue abstaining during your recovery, as smoking can hinder healing and lead to serious complications.
What kind of results can I expect from a Brazilian Butt Lift?
When undergoing a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) in London with Dr. Frati, you can expect results that are tailored to your individual body shape and aesthetic goals.

- The procedure will create a more pronounced hourglass figure, particularly when combined with liposuction to contour areas like the waist, thighs, and abdomen.
2. Natural Feel and Appearance

4. Customisation

Dr. Frati’s approach combines advanced techniques with an artistic eye, aiming to achieve a balance between enhancement and natural beauty. Your consultation will provide the opportunity to discuss your goals in detail, ensuring the results align with your expectations.
How long does a BBL Last?
We often receive questions from patients about how long Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) results will last. It's important to go into this procedure with realistic expectations and an understanding that the initial post-surgical appearance is not the final result.
Immediately after surgery, you may notice significant swelling, which can make your buttocks appear larger than expected. This swelling will gradually subside. It's important to know that typically only about 60-70% of the transferred fat will survive the procedure. This is a normal part of the BBL process, and our surgical technique accounts for this expected fat loss.
As the weeks and months pass, your final results will begin to take shape. As long as you maintain a stable weight and follow our postoperative care instructions, your BBL results should be long-lasting. While natural changes in your body can occur due to aging, pregnancy, hormonal shifts, or significant weight fluctuations, the overall shape achieved through your BBL should remain.
Keep in mind that the newly transferred fat behaves like the rest of the fat in your body: it will shrink if you lose weight and grow if you gain weight. Therefore, maintaining a consistent weight is crucial to preserving your BBL results over time.
What's the difference between BBL and implants?
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) and gluteal implants are both procedures designed to enhance the size and shape of the buttocks, but they differ significantly in terms of techniques, materials used, recovery, and results. Here’s a breakdown of the key differences:
1.Technique
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL):
- A BBL involves liposuction to remove fat from other areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. The harvested fat is then purified and strategically injected into the buttocks to create a fuller, more contoured appearance.
Gluteal Implants:
- Gluteal implants involve the surgical placement of silicone implants into the buttocks. The implants are typically inserted either within or above the gluteal muscle to add volume and shape.
2.Materials Used
BBL:
- Uses your own body fat (autologous fat transfer), making it a more natural option.
Gluteal Implants:
- Uses solid silicone implants, similar to breast implants but specifically designed for the buttocks.
3.Natural Look and Feel:
BBL:
- Because the procedure uses your own fat, the results tend to look and feel more natural. The fat integrates with your existing tissue, leading to a more natural appearance and movement.
Gluteal Implants:
- Implants can provide a significant increase in size, but they may feel firmer and less natural compared to fat. Over time, they may also become more noticeable as the body ages.
4. Customisability
BBL:
- Offers more customisation because the surgeon can precisely control where the fat is injected, allowing for tailored contouring based on your desired shape.
Gluteal Implants:
- While the size and shape of the implants can be selected, the procedure is less customizable compared to a BBL since the implants are pre-formed and offer a more standardized result.
5. Scarring
BBL:
- Involves small incisions for liposuction and fat injection, leading to minimal scarring that is often not noticeable.
Gluteal Implants:
- Requires larger incisions to place the implants, which can result in more visible scarring, typically hidden in the crease of the buttocks.
6. Recovery
BBL:
- Recovery involves avoiding sitting directly on the buttocks for a few weeks and wearing compression garments. Swelling and bruising are common, and the final results appear after the swelling subsides.
Gluteal Implants:
- Recovery may be more uncomfortable due to the placement of the implants. Sitting and lying on your back are restricted, and there may be more soreness in the area. The recovery period can be longer compared to a BBL.
7. Longevity of Results
BBL:
- If the fat cells survive the transfer and you maintain a stable weight, the results can be long-lasting. However, fat cells may shrink or grow with weight fluctuations.
Gluteal Implants:
- Implants are durable and long-lasting, but they may eventually need to be replaced due to wear over time, or if complications arise.
8. Risk of Complications
BBL:
- Carries a risk of fat embolism, which can be life-threatening. Other risks include fat absorption, asymmetry, and infection.
Gluteal Implants:
- Risks include implant displacement, infection, capsular contracture (where scar tissue hardens around the implant), and the possibility of needing revision surgery.
9. Candidacy
BBL:
- Requires candidates to have enough excess fat in other areas of the body for liposuction and transfer.
Gluteal Implants:
- Suitable for individuals who want significant augmentation but don’t have enough body fat for a BBL.
10. Cost
BBL:
- Generally less expensive than implants since it uses your own fat and doesn't require the cost of implants.
Gluteal Implants:
- Often more expensive due to the cost of the implants and the more complex nature of the surgery.
Summary
Brazilian Butt Lifts are ideal for those seeking a more natural look and feel using their own body fat, with the added benefit of body contouring from liposuction.
Gluteal implants are better suited for those who want a more dramatic increase in size or who do not have sufficient fat for a BBL.
What are the risks associated with a BBL in London
It's important to be fully informed before deciding to undergo a Brazilian Butt Lift in London. Here are some of the key risks associated with a BBL:
1. Fat Embolism.
- One of the most serious risks of a BBL is a fat embolism, where fat enters the bloodstream and travels to the lungs, heart, or brain. This can be life-threatening. To minimise this risk, it’s crucial that the fat is injected above the muscle, not into it, and that the procedure is performed by an experienced and qualified surgeon, such as Dr Frati and his London team.
2. Infection
- Any surgical procedure carries a risk of infection. Proper sterile techniques during surgery and following postoperative care instructions can help reduce this risk.
3. Asymmetry
- There’s a chance that the results may not be perfectly symmetrical. While all surgeons aim for balance and symmetry, natural body differences and the way the fat is absorbed can result in unevenness.
4. Fat Absorption
- Not all of the transferred fat will survive after the procedure. Typically, around 60-70% of the fat remains, which can affect the final volume and shape of the buttocks.
5. Seroma or Hematoma
- Fluid (seroma) or blood (hematoma) may accumulate under the skin in the areas where liposuction was performed or where the fat was injected. These may require drainage.
6. Scarring
- While the incisions made during a BBL are small, scarring can still occur. Proper wound care and following your surgeon's advice can help minimise scarring.
7. Changes in Sensation
- Some patients may experience changes in sensation, such as numbness or tingling, in the areas where fat was harvested or injected. This can be temporary or, in rare cases, permanent.
8. Blood Clots
- The risk of blood clots, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), is present with any surgery. Taking preventive measures like moving around soon after surgery and following your surgeon’s instructions can help mitigate this risk.
9. Anaesthesia Risks
- General anaesthesia used during the BBL procedure carries its own set of risks, including allergic reactions, respiratory issues, or other complications.
10. Unsatisfactory Results
- There is a possibility that the final outcome may not meet your expectations. It’s important to have realistic goals and to discuss these thoroughly with your surgeon before the procedure.

Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery and Aftercare
After your Brazilian butt lift (BBL) or fat transfer, it’s normal to experience bruising and swelling, which will typically subside over the following weeks. Whilst you’ll notice changes straight away, the final results won’t be fully visible until all swelling has completely gone, which can take up to three months.
During your recovery, you might experience standard yet slight pain and discomfort, but this can be managed with the appropriate medication. You should be able to walk around the day after your surgery, but you’ll have to refrain from sitting or lying directly on your buttocks. For the first few weeks, it’s essential to sleep on your stomach or sides to protect the newly transferred fat.
When sitting is necessary, it is advised to shift your weight onto your thighs instead of your buttocks.
It is also recommended to wear a compression garment for up to 2 months following your BBL. This helps minimise the swelling and supports your buttocks in maintaining their new shape.
Throughout your recovery, Dr Frati’s medical team will stay in close contact to monitor your progress so any albeit low risk complications are mitigated. Your aftercare is included in the initial cost, so you can return for follow-up appointments whenever you have any concerns.
Aftercare
Our aftercare program, recently praised as ‘outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission, is an integral part of our commitment to your well-being.
We don’t consider aftercare an afterthought. Our dedicated post-op nursing team will call you the day after your BBL and then every other day for the first two weeks. This is important. Our proactive approach ensures you have the best chance for optimal recovery, with early detection and prompt management of any potential complications. If you express any concerns during these check-ins, we’ll arrange a same-day assessment with one of our expert nurses. Even when no major issues are present, our team’s careful explanations and reassurance can help alleviate any worries you may have.
BBL related questions you may want to ask Dr. Frati
Is the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure suitable for me?
Do I have realistic expectations based on my body shape?
Will one procedure be sufficient to achieve my desired shape?
Can I see before and after photos of similar patients?
Do you provide ongoing nursing support after the procedure?
What options are available if I’m not satisfied with the results of my Brazilian Butt Lift procedure?
Drawing upon his extensive experience, Dr. Frati will recommend the most appropriate procedure or a customised combination of procedures to achieve your desired results. He will also offer a detailed explanation of potential risks and complications. Should you desire, you can request to review a series of before-and-after rhinoplasty images. While these images can provide an initial insight into the potential outcomes of the surgical process, it’s essential to consider them as informative references, as they do not guarantee an exact replication of any particular surgical result.
