Our methods for buttock augmentation and buttock surgery
To achieve a result that is anatomically sound, our plastic surgeons use a range of tried-and-tested techniques, depending on your tissue and skin elasticity. There are many terms, ranging from butt lift, Brazilian butt lift and Brazilian buttock lift to Brazilian butt lifts, but medically we divide the procedures into three main categories
Buttock augmentation using fat (BBL)
Body fat is gently removed from areas such as the stomach or thighs via liposuction, purified, and then injected superficially into the buttocks to add volume. This Brazilian buttock lift is by far the most common method.
Buttock augmentation with implants
For patients who have no body fat reserves of their own, a safe, anatomically shaped silicone implant (buttock implant) is placed within the gluteal muscle to create a distinct projection.
Butt lift
A procedure designed for patients with significant excess skin. The excess skin is surgically removed and the tissue is lifted upwards. A buttock lift is sometimes combined with buttock liposuction to refine the contours.
Minimally invasive techniques in coccyx surgery
Whether the procedure involves fat transfer or the use of fillers to sculpt the contours of the buttocks (such as fillers for hip dips), our plastic surgery specialists use specially adapted precision cannulas. A tissue-friendly approach is absolutely crucial for reducing bleeding, minimising risks during a Brazilian buttock lift and ensuring optimal conditions for discreet scarring.

BBL and buttock augmentation
Step by step
To ensure you feel confident and well prepared, we have a clear and reliable process in place, from your first visit right through to your final follow-up appointment. Here, we provide an overview of how our buttock augmentation procedure works, from start to finish.
Consultation
Medical assessment and choice of method
The surgeon will assess your fat deposits, skin elasticity and muscle tone to determine whether fat transfer, buttock implants or a skin lift alone is the best option.
Before your procedure
Preparing for a safe operation
Once the reflection period is over, your operation will be booked. It is an absolute medical requirement that you are completely nicotine- and alcohol-free for four weeks before and after the operation.
The day of the operation
Safe care at the clinic
You will be admitted. A BBL procedure or a buttock augmentation using implants usually takes 2–4 hours and is carried out under general anaesthesia to ensure optimal patient safety.
After the operation
Awakening and initial rest
The area will be cleaned and checked. It is quite normal for the skin to become temporarily red and for small bumps to appear at the injection sites, but these will disappear quickly. You will be monitored in the recovery room before being allowed to return to your room. Most people go home the same day after resting and having a snack in the ward.
Recovery & healing
Self-care and convalescence guidelines
Physical exertion and sitting directly on your bottom should be avoided initially. You must wear your compression garment around the clock for several weeks, as instructed by your surgeon.
Monitoring & results
Medical check-up and final assessment
A follow-up appointment to check the wound and remove any stitches will take place after 1–2 weeks. A final check-up with your plastic surgeon will take place after around six months.
Our specialists in plastic surgery
At The Faculty, we have hand-picked specialists in plastic surgery with extensive experience of the Brazilian Buttock Lift in Sweden. Sculpting the body and managing fat with the utmost safety places extreme demands on the surgeon’s technical skill and in-depth understanding of anatomy. This is the foundation of your medical safety.
Who is eligible for a BBL or buttock augmentation?
To undergo cosmetic surgery with us, you must be at least 18 years old and in good general health. During the consultation, a strict assessment of your BMI and body fat reserves will be carried out. If you have a very low body fat percentage, a fat transfer buttock augmentation may not be possible, and a buttock augmentation using implants is recommended instead. It is also an absolute medical requirement that you are a non-smoker, as nicotine restricts blood circulation, which drastically reduces the survival of fat cells and increases the risk of infection.
Our clinics
At The Faculty, medical expertise meets a welcoming atmosphere. At Hangövägen 20, you will find our custom-built clinic, designed to meet strict clinical standards for hygiene and safety. For injection treatments and skincare, we welcome you to our walk-in clinic at Humlegårdsgatan 14 in Östermalm. Our practice is guided by a scientific approach and extensive experience, creating a safe and transparent treatment journey.
Payment guarantee and insurance
Choosing to undergo an aesthetic surgical procedure or an injection treatment is a personal decision, and at The Faculty, we value complete transparency by always providing a clear and itemized price quote during your consultation. For your peace of mind, you are covered by comprehensive patient insurance as well as an extended warranty period during the healing process. For those who wish, we also offer financial guidance regarding installment options—as a flexible choice entirely separate from the medical assessment.
Frequently asked questions about BBL and buttock augmentation
Here we have compiled a list of frequently asked questions about BBL and buttock augmentation
Why is BBL always written in capital letters?
Searches for "what is BBL", "what is a BBL", "what does BBL mean" and "BBL meaning" are very common. BBL stands for Brazilian Butt Lift. Anatomically speaking, it is a buttock augmentation using the patient’s own fat (known as a Brazilian buttock lift in technical terms). Many people also spell it Brazilian butt lift, Brazilian but lift, Brazillian butt lift or, in everyday speech, simply Brazilian butt, BBLs or BBL ass. Regardless of the name, the principle is the same: transferring fat from one part of the body to the buttocks.
Why is BBL dangerous, and what are the risks?
The question "why is BBL dangerous" is entirely justified. Historically, and at certain clinics abroad (often found through searches for "BBL Turkey"), the procedure has been associated with serious risks, primarily fat embolism. This only occurs if the fat is incorrectly injected deep into or beneath the gluteus maximus muscle, where the major blood vessels run. To minimise these risks, our specialists use only scientifically proven methods where the fat is strictly placed superficially in the subcutaneous fat above the muscle, making the procedure medically safe.
What is a "skinny BBL" and a BBL body?
A common term these days is ‘skinny BBL’. This refers to a buttock augmentation using fat, performed on a patient who has a lower body fat percentage and a lower BMI to begin with. The aim here (for a balanced BBL body) is usually not a drastic increase in volume, but rather a subtle reshaping to fill out, for example, ‘hip dips’. This requires very precise liposuction across several smaller areas to collect enough fat.
Should you opt for fat transfer, buttock augmentation with implants, or buttock fillers?
If you have sufficient body fat, buttock augmentation using fat is often the most anatomically natural choice. For patients who have no fat reserves at all, buttock augmentation using implants is the medically best option for permanent volume. For minor irregularities, buttock augmentation using fillers (the body’s own biostimulation) can be used, although the results of buttock or hip dip fillers are not permanent in the same way as a surgical procedure.
What are the prices like (how much does a buttock augmentation cost / BBL price)?
A BBL (buttock augmentation using fat) costs 83,500 SEK at The Faculty. Buttock augmentation using implants costs 77,500 SEK, and a standard buttock lift costs 79,500 SEK. (In rare cases, the price of a BBL procedure may vary depending on the extent of liposuction required.) The price includes anaesthesia and all aftercare.
How long do the results of a BBL or a buttock lift last?
In a BBL (Brazilian butt lift) procedure, around 60–70% of the transplanted fat usually becomes permanently embedded in the tissue. The fat cells that survive the first few months remain permanently. In a buttock lift (gluteal lift), where loose skin is surgically removed, the anatomical lift is permanent, but the skin’s overall elasticity will, of course, continue to be affected by natural ageing and the force of gravity over time.
BBL in Sweden or BBL Turkey?
Many people compare the cost of a Brazilian butt lift in Turkey with that in Sweden. The cost of a Brazilian butt lift in Turkey may initially seem lower, but for a procedure as complex as a Brazilian butt lift, medical safety, strict safety protocols, and geographical proximity – as well as the ability to meet your surgeon in person for regular follow-up appointments – are absolutely crucial. A Brazilian buttock lift in Sweden (BBL Stockholm or similar) provides you with full cover under Swedish patient insurance and immediate access to medical assistance here at The Faculty.
