Buttock augmentation can create a fuller, rounder buttocks that are more in line with your gender identity. Buttock augmentation is often performed on trans women who are unhappy with the shape of their buttocks or the relationship between their buttocks and the rest of their body. For many trans women, this procedure can lead to an increased sense of pride and self-confidence.
The surgery can be performed in two different ways. Either with the help of implants, or via liposculpture, or fat transplantation. Our plastic surgeon Dr Doornaert is specialized in body feminization surgery for trans women. During a consultation with Dr Doornaert you can discuss what the best option might be for you.
A buttock augmentation by means of a transplant of the body’s own fat or a Brazilian butt lift is the most common, most natural and most successful method. During this method, fat is removed from another part of the body, usually the abdominal area, under local or general anesthesia. The fat is then injected into the buttocks. The result? A flat stomach, narrow waist, and a fuller, rounder butt. The complications of this procedure are minimal, also in the long term.
For a buttock augmentation via liposculpture, there is one important requirement: you must naturally have sufficient body fat. When the body fat is injected into the buttocks, 40% is reabsorbed by the body. The remaining 60% is permanent. It is therefore possible that the procedure will have to be repeated after about six months to achieve the desired result.
Buttock implants may be an option if you do not have enough body fat for a Brazilian butt lift. However, this is not a problem. We can also perform a buttock augmentation using implants. Dr. Doornaert uses silicone implants for this procedure.
The final cost of your surgery depends on a number of factors. We advise you to first make an appointment with Dr. Doornaert. During an initial personal consultation, Dr. Doornaert and you will discuss what the best option is for you. For reference, here are our price list with indicative prices.
For trans women who travel from abroad to the 2pass Clinic in Antwerp, it is often convenient to combine different procedures. That way, you only have to make one trip, take only one leave and recover only once. You can combine a buttock augmentation with other procedures. But be aware that this will have a greater impact on your body, both physically and mentally.
You can have your buttocks augmented the day before your facial feminization surgery. The procedure will then take place on Wednesday and your Facial Feminization Surgery on Thursday.
It is also possible to combine your hip augmentation with a buttock augmentation. But we want to warn you: it can be very uncomfortable because after these procedures you will only be able to sleep on your stomach.
