Buttock augmentation
Table of contents:
Butt augmentation can give you a fuller and rounder behind that is more in line with your gender identity. Butt augmentation is often carried out for trans women who are unsatisfied with the shape of their butt, or with the proportion between their butt and the rest of their body. For many trans women, this form of body feminization surgery can lead to more self-confidence and pride.
The surgery can be carried out in two different ways. Either using butt implants or via liposculpture or fat grafting. Our plastic surgeon Dr Doornaert is specialized in body feminization surgery for transwomen. During a consultation with Dr Doornaert, it will become clear what the best solution is for you.
Liposculpture
A butt augmentation via fat grafting or a Brazilian butt lift is the most common, most natural and most successful option. With this method, fat is removed from another part of the body, mostly the abdominal area, under a local or a general anesthetic. The fat is then injected into your butt. The result? A flat belly, narrow waist and fuller, rounder butt. Complications from this procedure are minimal, including over the long term.
For butt augmentation via fat grafting, one thing is very important: you must naturally have sufficient body fat. When the body fat is injected into your butt, 40% will be absorbed by your body. The remaining 60% will remain in your butt permanently. So it is possible that the procedure may have to be repeated after around six months in order to obtain the desired result.
Recovery
- Avoid pressure on your butt so that the ‘new’ injected fat can be optimally absorbed by your body.
- Don’t engage in sports for three weeks.
- In addition, be sure to follow all the instructions on this list carefully.
Butt Implants
Butt implants may be an option when you do not have enough body fat for a Brazilian butt lift. This is no problem. We can also carry out a butt augmentation by means of implants. Dr Doornaert uses silicone implants for this procedure.
Recovery
- The healing period takes between four and six weeks.
- You may experience a feeling of heavy pressure in your butt, but this is normal.
- Don’t engage in any sports for three weeks – if you move too much, the implant may become displaced.
- We recommend that you wear elastic compression clothing 24/7 for three weeks to prevent seromas.
- In addition, be sure to follow all the instructions on this list carefully.

The cost
How much your surgery will ultimately cost depends on a number of factors. We advise you to schedule a consultation with Dr Doornaert first. In an initial face-to-face conversation, Dr Doornaert and you will discuss what the best solution for you is. For reference, this is our price list with indicative prices.
Combination with another procedure
For trans women who come to 2pass Clinic in Antwerp from abroad, it is often handy to combine several procedures. That way you have only one trip to make, need to take time off work only once and go through only one recovery. You can combine your butt augmentation with other procedures. But note that this will have a greater impact on your body, both physically and mentally.
Combination with facial feminization surgery
You can have your butt augmentation the day before your facial feminization surgery. Your butt augmentation will take place on Wednesday and your facial feminization surgery on Thursday.
Combination with hip augmentation
It is possible to combine your hip augmentation with a butt augmentation. But we would like to warn you: you might be very uncomfortable after the procedure because you will be able to sleep only on your stomach.
