Frequently asked questions about Brazilian Butt Lift

Provided that enough transferred fat cells heal evenly, a buttock enlargement with your own fat does not generally require regular follow-up treatment, as the injected fat cells do not break down on their own.

A Brazilian Butt Lift with Variofill® lasts approx. 2 years.

Autogenous tissue such as fat cells are very sensitive. With very careful removal and injection, fat cells can die or heal with difficulty or not at all. This can lead to visible dents and require follow-up treatment. Variofill® is an alloplastic product and can be applied very precisely to the desired location.

No, Variofill® is only approved for the gluteal region, i.e. the buttocks.

A Brazilian butt lift with your own fat is usually carried out under general anesthesia - so you will not be aware of the surgical procedure. Post-operatively, you should expect pain and a feeling of pressure in the treated areas. However, these symptoms quickly subside.

During a buttock enlargement with Variofill®, the filler is inserted into the soft tissue using a very thin needle or cannula; there are therefore only small puncture points. The surrounding tissue is not damaged. The pain is therefore minimal, so that the procedure can be carried out under local anesthesia.

You will see a preliminary result immediately after the procedure. The final result is usually visible after 3 months.

We generally recommend applying cold compresses to the contoured areas. This reduces the risk of possible hematomas. You should avoid saunas, sports, swimming pools and bathtubs for 14 days. You should also wear special compression garments or so-called shapewear for two to six weeks, depending on the procedure.

A Brazilian butt lift with your own fat costs from €7.500 + anesthesia costs, depending on the extent of the treatment.
