Dreaming of a Fuller, More Balanced Figure—Without Implants?
If you’ve always dreamed of fuller, more sculpted curves that look and feel naturally yours, a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) in London may be the answer. This increasingly popular fat transfer procedure enhances the shape and volume of your buttocks – using your own body fat to create a balanced, beautiful silhouette.
By gently removing fat with liposuction from areas like your stomach or thighs, and reinjecting it into the buttocks, a BBL tones your figure while enhancing your shape.
At the CREO Clinic, Dr. Omar Tillo has pioneered a safer, more advanced method, the BEST-F technique, designed to give you beautiful results with greater peace of mind.

The BEST-F Technique: A Safer, Smarter Appraoch to BBL Surgery
Unlike traditional BBLs — which carry a higher risk of fat embolism by injecting fat beneath the muscle — the BEST-F technique places purified fat only above the gluteal muscles, where it’s safest.
Guided by real-time ultrasound, this method ensures fat is distributed precisely and never enters the muscle — significantly reducing complications while delivering beautifully contoured, natural-looking results.
Furthermore, Dr. Tillo works solely in the UK, meaning he is bound by strict safety legislation and can be found on the UK General Medical Council (GMC) Specialty Register For Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
Overall, this ensures a safer procedure, as well as providing patients with a natural butt enhancement rather than the exaggerated look that the traditional BBL is known for.
Our APEX Recovery System for Faster Healing
Every procedure our surgeons perform comes with Creo Clinic’s APEX Recovery System – a unique recovery protocol built and refined on years of specialised expertise.
This three-stage system combines pre-surgical optimisation, advanced anaesthetic techniques, and a post-operative strategy designed to eliminate the need for morphine.
These treatments are thoughtfully integrated into every step of your plan, ensuring your recovery is supported, refined, and medically guided. We don’t make any compromises when it comes to care … and you shouldn’t either.
Benefits of BBL Surgery
Many patients can be unhappy with the shape of their butt, particularly after drastic changes to the body caused by pregnancy, weight loss, or ageing. For this reason, many people opt to undergo a BBL to create a perkier, more voluminous buttocks.
A BBL comes with its own unique benefits for patients:
- Improved curves and proportions of the body, with enhanced hips and voluminous buttocks.
- Removes unwanted fat from surrounding areas (e.g. thighs, abdomen), further contouring the body.
- Natural appearance with minimal scarring, compared to using implants.
- Instant and prominent results that can’t be achieved with exercise.
- Improves the appearance of hip dips by adding volume to the area.
Who is a Candidate for a BBL?
During your consultation with Dr. Tillo, a full assessment will be carried out to determine your suitability for BBL surgery. In general, any patient in good health with a BMI lower than 30 who is looking to add volume to their buttocks while toning targeted areas of their body is an ideal candidate for a BBL

Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure
A Brazilian butt lift at the CREO Clinic is typically performed under sedation or general anaesthesia and takes around 2–4 hours. The surgery follows our signature BEST-F technique to maximise safety and precision.
Your BBL will involve three key steps:
- Liposuction: Fat is harvested from areas such as the stomach, hips, or thighs using a suction cannula inserted through small incisions.
- Fat purification: The collected fat is purified using a centrifuge to separate healthy fat cells for re-injection.
- Fat transfer: The processed fat is strategically injected into the buttocks using ultrasound guidance to ensure safe, even distribution.
Using the BEST-F method, Dr. Omar Tillo carefully injects fat only above the gluteal muscles — never into them — to significantly reduce risk and create smooth, natural-looking curves.
Recovery & Results: What to Expect After Your BBL
Recovery from a BBL typically takes around 2–3 weeks for most daily activities, with full healing expected by 6 weeks. You’ll need to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks during the first 3 weeks, and we’ll provide a BBL pillow and tailored aftercare instructions to support your healing. Some swelling and bruising is normal and usually subsides within the first few weeks.
Final results take shape over the following 3–6 months as your body absorbs some of the transferred fat and your new contours settle. Around 30–50% of the injected fat typically remains, and you’ll notice your buttocks becoming softer, rounder, and more natural in appearance during the “fluffing” stage. By 6 months, your results will be fully visible and long-lasting.
Understanding the Risks of a BBL & Why You’re in Safe Hands
Like all surgeries, a Brazilian butt lift comes with some potential risks, but when performed by an expert like Dr. Omar Tillo, those risks are significantly reduced. We understand the concerns that exist, especially due to media reports of unsafe procedures performed abroad. At the CREO Clinic, every BBL is carried out using our safer, ultrasound-guided BEST-F technique, under strict UK medical regulations.
While rare, possible risks may include:
- Minor reactions to anaesthesia
- Temporary swelling or bruising
- Fat necrosis (when a small amount of transferred fat doesn’t survive)
- Mild asymmetry
- Seroma or fluid buildup
- Less-than-expected fat retention
Before your procedure, we’ll carry out a full consultation to assess your health and minimise any risk factors. With our team’s experience and safety-first approach, you can feel confident you’re in the best possible hands.

Complementary Procedures
BBL and Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck, also known as an abdominoplasty, is a surgery that removes excess skin and fat in the abdomen while tightening the muscles in the area in order to produce a flatter and toned stomach. Patients who wish to achieve an hourglass figure with a flat abdomen and a curvaceous butt can do so by undergoing a BBL and a tummy tuck in two separate stages.

BBL FAQs
What is the difference between a buttock lift and a Brazilian butt lift?
A buttock lift and a Brazilian butt lift are surgeries that contour the bottom in different ways. A buttock lift tones the bottom by removing excess skin and fat, whereas a BBL surgery transfers fat into the buttocks in order to increase its volume. Therefore, a butt lift is an ideal cosmetic procedure for patients who only want to get rid of any saggy skin in their bottom.
How long does a Brazilian butt lift last?
Once the fat cells have stabilised, they will remain in place permanently. However, you need to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine in order to maintain results, as any fluctuations in weight will cause your fat cells to expand or shrink in size after BBL. Furthermore, as you age, you will likely develop some skin laxity in the area, which alters the shape of your buttocks.
Will a BBL look natural?
When performed by an experienced and qualified surgeon, a BBL surgery using the BEST-F technique looks completely natural to the patient’s body. The aim of the procedure is to provide a natural yet noticeable butt enhancement. In contrast, a traditional BBL or implants can leave you with a more prominent and exaggerated bottom that may look disproportionate to the rest of your body.
When can you sit after BBL?
It’s best to avoid sitting after BBL or putting pressure on your butt for at least three weeks after the cosmetic surgery. It takes several weeks for the fat grafts to stabilise and integrate, which means for the best results, you’ll need to avoid sitting.
What is a BBL for men?
A BBL is not just beneficial for women, but for men too. A male BBL can add volume and definition to the buttocks to make them appear stronger, more toned, and proportionate to the rest of the body. In addition, the liposuction zones like the abdomen or chest can help to sculpt and chisel the upper body.
Is the BBL painful?
A BBL is carried out under general anaesthetic or deep sedation, meaning that you won’t be conscious or aware of any pain during the procedure. After surgery, your surgeon will also provide you with any needed prescriptions for pain relief, as well as detailed aftercare instructions to help you manage any discomfort at home.
Can you reverse a BBL?
The fat injected into the buttocks can be removed with liposuction as long as it has been placed above the gluteal muscles and not underneath or inside. However, removing the fat with liposuction alone can cause excess, lax skin to be left behind. For this reason, some women choose to undergo a buttock lift or skin tightening treatments like BodyTite following liposuction to either remove or tighten the skin, respectively.
Does a BBL leave scars?
A BBL typically involves a few small incisions (2–5 for liposuction, 4–8 for fat injection), each about 5mm long. These are placed discreetly in areas hidden by natural contours or clothing.
Most BBL scars heal within 1–2 weeks and fade significantly over time. Following your surgeon’s aftercare instructions can help minimise their appearance.
When can I resume work after a BBL?
After a BBL, most patients feel able to resume most light, daily activities, including a return to work, around 2-3 weeks after surgery. However, the recovery time can vary from patient to patient based on a range of factors, including the amount of fat injected into the buttocks. For more intensive work, including heavy lifting, you will be required to wait 6 weeks before returning.
Do I need to get massages after a BBL?
Lymphatic drainage massages can be instrumental in reducing swelling in the liposuction areas and the buttocks after a BBL. This specialist massage technique works to promote the movement of lymph fluid build-up in the surgical sites, helping the body to recover quicker and see results faster.
What is a skinny BBL?
A skinny BBL is designed for patients with a lower BMI and less fat available to transfer to the buttocks. For these patients, the fat tissue needed for transfer has to be taken from multiple areas of the body as there is usually less available in any one given place.
Overall, skinnier patients often find that less fat is needed for transfer to make a dramatic difference to the contours of the body.
Will I have to wear a garment during recovery?
During the first 6 weeks after BBL surgery, you will need to wear a compression garment over the incision sites to manage swelling, which will in turn help to ease any associated discomfort.
What if I gain or lose weight after a BBL?
Minor weight fluctuations following a BBL should not affect your results. However, significant weight gain can cause the fat cells, both in the buttocks and across the rest of the body, to swell and increase in size. However, as the fat tissue in the liposuction zones has been permanently removed, you will be unlikely to see any enlargement in these areas. Overall, this can upset the natural proportions of the body.
Losing a significant amount of weight after a BBL may cause the fat cells in the buttocks to shrink, impacting how voluminous the buttock looks. For this reason, you should aim to maintain a stable weight post-surgery. If you find this difficult to do, consider consulting with a nutritionist who can best advise you on a meal plan tailored to your body.
