Auf dieser Seite
A buttock lift and buttock tightening without surgery
A firm, shapely bottom – who wouldn't want one? There are various treatments available on the path to beautiful buttocks. Sagging buttocks can be lifted with a surgical gluteal lift. With a
non-surgical buttock tightening treatment
, the
biostimulator Sculptra®
stimulates collagen production and adds volume, resulting in firmer buttocks. A further option is the
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
. The Brazilian lift is a
buttock surgery using
autologous fat
. In some cases, buttock implants can also be used for augmentation during a Brazilian Butt Lift. A combination of
autologous fat
and implants is also possible.
Shape & size tailored to your wishes
Firmer & fuller buttocks
No scarring
Reduction of cellulite & hip dips
To restore a beautifully rounded shape to the buttocks,
hip dips
– small indentations at the hips – can also be treated. Various approaches are available for hip dips, such as treatment with
Sculptra®
as a poly-L-lactic acid filler, or
Morpheus8™
. These treatments are gentle, as with
Sculptra
the substance is simply injected into the buttocks, and Morpheus8 tightens without surgery, meaning no major intervention is required.
Sculptra Buttocks – Buttock Firming Without Surgery
With the
biostimulator Sculptra®
, also known as
Sculptra
Butt Lift
, it is possible to firm the buttocks without surgery. The Sculptra® treatment stimulates the skin's collagen production. The
Sculptra
buttock treatment thereby creates greater volume along with effective skin tightening and smoothing. Cellulite is also visibly reduced. The dream of a pert, toned bottom becomes reality – with natural results and no scarring.
The buttock augmentation with
Sculptra
takes approximately 30 minutes. The biostimulator is injected in liquid form in a fan-like pattern beneath the skin of the buttocks. As a rule, depending on the individual starting point, several treatments spaced 4 weeks apart are required to achieve a firmer bottom. The final result is visible 6–8 weeks after the last Sculptra® buttock treatment. The cost of the Sculptra® treatment depends on the amount of material required for the buttock firming. I can give you an exact price for your Sculptra® buttock augmentation following our initial

Brazilian Butt Lift – Buttock Lifting and Augmentation with Autologous Fat

The
Brazilian Butt Lift
is also known as a Buttock Lift. The Brazilian Butt Lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that has grown increasingly popular in recent years.
In a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), a
liposuction
is used to harvest your own fat
from an area of your body – for example, the abdomen, waist, or thighs. The fat is then purified and injected into the buttocks to give them a fuller, rounder appearance. Recovery time varies; however, it is generally recommended to avoid sitting or lying directly on the buttocks for at least two weeks following the buttock-lifting procedure.
If a patient has insufficient body fat available, buttock implants may be used as an alternative for augmentation. A combination of
autologous fat
and implants is also possible. This technique is not a traditional buttock lift – in which excess skin and tissue are removed to elevate a sagging buttocks – but rather a fat transfer procedure that adds volume to the buttocks while simultaneously improving their shape.
The Brazilian Butt Lift has gained increasing popularity in recent years, driven by the rise of social media and the desire for a more curvaceous figure. Very beautiful results can be achieved with a Brazilian Butt Lift. It is, however, important to carefully weigh the risks and benefits before undergoing the procedure. As with any operation, there is a risk of complications such as infection, bleeding, or nerve damage.

Autologous Fat
Natural buttock augmentation:
With a
Brazilian Buttock Lift
, fatty tissue is harvested from other areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks
No synthetic material
– instead, your own body's fatty tissue is used, minimising the risk of complications such as rejection reactions
Minimally invasive technique
, requiring only small incisions for the fat harvesting and the injections in the buttock area
The Brazilian Buttock Lift is an
outpatient procedure
, meaning no inpatient stay is required
As your own fatty tissue is used to augment your buttocks, you benefit from a
natural healing process
Long-lasting results
with improved volume and a firmer contour of your buttocks
Individual customisation
to achieve your personal aesthetic goals and attain a harmonious improvement in the shape of your buttocks.

Brazilian Butt Lift – Buttock Augmentation Without Implants
How can I fill in my hip dips?
Hip dips are small indentations of the hips
, appearing as slight depressions between the hip and the thigh. Whether you are slim or fuller-figured, hip dips are a natural feature of the body and can occur in any woman. The hip dip treatment restores the buttocks to a beautifully round, pert shape.
Targeted workouts for hip dips and specific glute and leg exercises can strengthen and tone the muscles of the hips, buttocks, and thighs. It is important to note, however, that even with targeted training, hip dips cannot necessarily be eliminated entirely.
Some women find their hip dips attractive; others find them a source of concern. If you would like to get rid of your hip dips and firm your buttocks, there are various treatments available to fill in these small hollows:
Firming hip dips with the Sculptra® treatment (poly-L-lactic acid)
Filling hip dips with
autologous fat
The cost of filling hip dips varies depending on the treatment method. The price of a hip dip treatment with
Sculptra
is equally dependent on the amount of material required to build up the hip dips and firm the buttocks. To fill hip dips with
autologous fat
, a
liposuction
must first be performed. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at any time and we will be happy to provide a cost estimate. Only after a
consultation
can
Dr. Schuhmann
give you an exact price for your buttock firming and/or hip dip augmentation.
Buttock Lift – Buttock Firming
Buttock Firming Without Surgery
When it comes to buttock firming or a buttock lift, several options are available today in plastic and aesthetic surgery. Our methods offer you the advantages of
firming your buttocks long-term without surgery.
Sculptra
is based on
poly-L-lactic acid
, which stimulates collagen production. During the
Sculptra
injection, small amounts are injected into the desired areas of the buttocks to
increase volume
and
tighten the skin
. The stimulation of collagen production delivers long-lasting results that look entirely natural. The
primary advantage
of
Sculptra
lies in its
non-invasive nature
and
minimal downtime
, as no surgery is required. Furthermore,
Sculptra
can
improve skin quality and texture.
This treatment method is suitable not only for buttock firming, but also for
wrinkle treatment
or firming of other body areas.
In
autologous fat transfer
, the patient's own fat is harvested from another part of the body, processed, and then injected into the buttocks. The greatest advantage of this method lies in the use of the body's own tissue, which minimises the risk of rejection reactions compared with buttock implants and ensures a natural appearance.
A buttock lift with
autologous fat
does, however, require a
liposuction
for fat harvesting to ensure sufficient "filler material" is available. Furthermore, the source of the fat (whether from the hips, abdomen, etc.) is of considerable importance in autologous fat transfer, as not every fat deposit yields optimal results.

autologous fat transfer

Who is suitable for buttock firming?
When should you consider buttock firming?
1. Weight changes
People who have experienced significant weight fluctuations – particularly weight loss – may develop excess skin and lax tissue in the buttock area. Buttock firming can help to correct these changes and restore a firmer, well-contoured appearance.
2. Aesthetic goals
Buttock firming can achieve the aesthetic and functional goals associated with a firmer and more voluminous buttocks. Different outcomes are possible depending on the technique used. During a
consultation
, you will discuss your wishes and the possibilities of a buttock lift in detail with
Dr. Schuhmann
.
3. Ageing
As we age, the skin can lose elasticity and firmness. This may cause the buttocks to appear more sagging and flat. Buttock firming can help to restore the youthfully taut contour of the buttocks and additionally increase volume.
4. After pregnancy
Pregnancy and childbirth can lead to changes in the body, including stretching of the skin and musculature in the buttock area. Many women seek ways to firm and restore their bodies after pregnancy, and buttock firming can form part of this process.
5. Genetics
Some people naturally have flatter or more lax buttock tissue due to their genetic predisposition. Buttock firming can achieve an improved shape and definition of the buttocks that corresponds to individual preferences and goals.
Buttock Implants – Implants in the Buttocks | Experiences, Risks & Information

Buttock implants are a popular option when a larger and more voluminous buttocks is desired. These implants are typically made of silicone or other flexible materials designed to imitate the natural shape and texture of the buttocks. The procedure for placing buttock implants requires a surgical intervention under general anaesthesia. An incision is made in the fold between the buttocks and the implants are positioned – either above or below the gluteal muscle, depending on individual anatomy and aesthetic goals. The long-term results of buttock implants can be satisfying; however, there are also risks and complications associated with this procedure, including infection, bruising, asymmetrical results, and implant displacement.
Following the operation, patients must allow a period of time for recovery. There are also certain restrictions, particularly during the first weeks after surgery, that must be observed. Before deciding on buttock implants, a thorough consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon is required to take into account the patient's individual needs, goals, and medical circumstances.
Dr. Schuhmann
generally recommends the natural techniques, which deliver equally impressive results and offer a more natural outcome.
Sculptra
is the most popular choice among our patients for buttock firming.
Frequently asked questions
How does buttock firming work?
In the classic buttock-lifting procedure (gluteoplasty, buttock lift), the incision is placed just above the gluteal muscle at the aesthetic transition to the lumbar region. Excess skin and fatty tissue are removed at this point, so that the buttocks are firmed and lifted overall. Ideal non-surgical alternatives for buttock firming include: Sculptra, Morpheus8, autologous fat
How long does a buttock lift last?
It is also important to bear in mind that buttock firming is not a substitute for a healthy diet and regular exercise. In order to maintain the cosmetic results of buttock firming, it is important to sustain a healthy lifestyle and an appropriate level of fitness.
How can I enlarge my buttocks without surgery?
There are various options for non-surgical buttock firming: 1. Buttock firming with Sculptra 2. Hyaluronic acid treatment with Variofill® 3. Aquafilling
What is the banana fold?
The "banana fold" refers to the crease at the transition between the buttocks and the thighs. It becomes particularly noticeable when the buttocks are lax or sagging. Weak connective tissue is often the main cause of this fold.
Can the buttocks be treated with injections?
The buttocks can be injected with the biostimulator Sculptra®. This non-surgical buttock lift takes approximately 30 minutes. The Sculptra® buttock tightening treatment is virtually pain-free. As a rule, 3–4 sessions at four-week intervals are required to achieve a beautiful result. During a Sculptra® buttock tightening session, approximately 4–8 vials of Sculptra® are typically injected. Buttock augmentation with hyaluronic acid is also possible.
How long does Sculptra® last in the buttocks?
The results of Sculptra® buttock augmentation are not permanent, but last approximately 2 years. After this time, a further buttock tightening treatment with the collagen booster Sculptra® can be carried out.
