Enhance your curves naturally by transferring your own purified fat to lift, volumise, and reshape the buttocks.
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), clinically known as gluteal fat transfer, is a dual-action body contouring procedure that uses your body’s own autologous fat to enhance the size and shape of the buttocks. By harvesting excess fat from adjacent areas like the abdomen, flanks, or lower back, the procedure creates a deeply sculpted, hourglass silhouette without the use of synthetic implants.
Dr. Gus Hoogendyk prioritises absolute safety alongside artistic proportion. He exclusively employs ultrasound guided, superficial fat injection techniques to ensure the grafted fat is placed safely in the subcutaneous layer, directly above the muscle. This meticulous approach to fat purification and strategic grafting ensures a soft, natural, and beautifully rounded gluteal contour that harmonises with your entire physique.
Simultaneously slims the waist, abdomen, or flanks while enhancing the buttocks for a true hourglass shape.
Because it utilises your own living tissue, the enhanced buttocks look, feel, and move completely naturally.
Avoids the risks associated with foreign objects, such as implant shifting, capsular contracture, or replacement.
Customises the projection and roundness to flawlessly complement your unique body frame and aesthetic goals.
State-of-the-art imaging ensures fat is placed precisely and safely above the muscle layer.
The fat cells that successfully survive the transfer process become a permanent part of the gluteal region.
Each stage is designed around your comfort, safety, and outcome. Dr. Gus walks every patient through this process in detail during your fully private consultation.
Dr. Gus evaluates your donor fat availability and discusses your aesthetic goals to design the perfect contouring plan.
Extensive 360-degree markings are made to map the liposuction areas and the targeted grafting zones on the buttocks.
Fat is gently harvested via liposuction, meticulously purified, and then strategically injected using ultrasound guidance.
Tiny incision sites are closed. You are placed in a specialised compression garment that supports the lipo areas but leaves the buttocks free.
The transferred fat establishes a new blood supply. Final volume is assessed once the initial ‘fluffing’ and swelling resolve.
Recovery from a BBL is unique, requiring strict adherence to positional restrictions to ensure the newly transferred fat survives.
You will experience soreness in the liposuction areas. You absolutely must sleep on your stomach and avoid sitting directly on your buttocks.
Soreness subsides. You can return to light work, but must use a specialised BBL pillow that places weight on the thighs if sitting is unavoidable.
The grafted fat begins to stabilise. You must continue wearing the compression garment. Light cardio can carefully resume.
At 3-6 months, the 'fluffing' phase is complete. The retained fat is now permanent, revealing a beautifully soft, enhanced curve.
The ideal BBL candidate desires a more prominent, shapely posterior and has enough natural body fat to achieve the look safely.

To increase the perceived size, restoring structural tone and vitality to the upper torso for a fuller, more balanced feminine form.
“For years, I felt that my silhouette didn’t quite match my active lifestyle. I wanted a change, but I was terrified of looking ‘overdone’ or artificial. Dr. Gus set my mind to rest. His approach turned out to be so considered the recovery was smoother than I anticipated, but the real impact was the confidence. For the first time, I feel completely at home in my own skin. I am just about the surgery. It was about the care and the precision behind it.”

A BBL typically takes 3 to 5 hours, as it involves extensive, meticulous 360-degree liposuction followed by the grafting process.
The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia to ensure complete comfort and precise, safe contouring.
Scarring is extremely minimal. Only tiny, 3-4mm incisions are required for the liposuction and injection cannulas, which fade significantly.
Desk work (using a BBL pillow) in 2 weeks. Squats, lower body exercises, and heavy lifting must wait 6 to 8 weeks to protect the fat.
A private, no-obligation consultation with Dr. Gus is the first step. Come with questions, leave with clarity. We keep availability limited to ensure every patient receives undivided attention.
