What is a BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift)?

A BBL in London is a surgical procedure that uses fat grafting to enhance the shape and volume of the buttocks. Dr Stefano Cotrufo, a renowned BBL surgeon, removes fat from areas like the stomach, flanks, or thighs using liposuction, purifies it, and injects it strategically into the buttocks. This not only improves curves but also slims donor areas, delivering a more sculpted figure overall.

Why choose BBL in London with Dr Stefano Cotrufo?

Dr Cotrufo carries out a number of procedures designed to enhance the shape and size of the bottom, including buttock augmentation using buttock implants. Many patients also choose to combine a buttock lift surgery with other surgeries such as liposuction. Dr Cotrufo will be able to advise on the best procedure or combination of procedures to help you achieve your particular goals.

Who is a good candidate for BBL in London?

You may be a suitable candidate if:

  • You are in good overall health
  • You have realistic expectations
  • You have sufficient fat in areas like the abdomen or thighs

Dr Cotrufo will assess your body during a one-on-one consultation and recommend a personalised treatment plan based on your goals.

What can a BBL in London achieve?

  • Rounder, fuller buttocks
  • Improved waist-to-hip ratio
  • Slimmer appearance in donor areas
  • Restored definition and contour
  • Correction of volume loss or sagging

Dr Cotrufo’s technique delivers subtle elegance and balanced proportions, tailored to your natural frame.

What happens during a consultation with a BBL surgeon?

During your consultation with Dr Cotrufo:

  • Discuss costs, timelines, and combination options (e.g. liposuction, implants)

Dr Cotrufo’s patients describe him as calm, attentive, and deeply understanding, someone who listens and puts them at ease throughout the journey.

How long does BBL surgery take?

A standard BBL in London takes about 3–4 hours. It may take longer if combined with other procedures. Fat is removed, purified, and injected in layers for even, long-lasting results. All procedures are performed by Dr Cotrufo or under his direct supervision.

What is recovery like after BBL in London?

  • An overnight stay is recommended
  • Return to work within 1–2 weeks (job dependent)
  • Wear compression garments for at least 2 weeks
  • Avoid sitting or lying directly on the buttocks for 2–3 weeks
  • Avoid strenuous activities for 6 weeks

Dr Cotrufo provides detailed aftercare, with regular follow-ups and phone access for any post-op concerns. His support doesn’t end at the clinic, patients are guided every step of the way.

When will I see results from BBL in London?

Swelling begins to reduce after 2 weeks, and final results are typically seen within 2–3 months. Around 60–80% of the transferred fat remains permanently, giving you a long-lasting improvement in shape and proportion.

What are the alternatives to BBL surgery?

Dr Cotrufo also offers:

  • Buttock augmentation using implants
