Buttock Augmentation and BBL in Barranquilla
I use your own fat to give your figure a more harmonious proportion: I slim the waist, round the buttocks and balance your whole silhouette. With a conservative technique, because in this procedure safety comes first. I’m Dr. Boris Henríquez, plastic surgeon, with more than 26 years of experience in Barranquilla.
What Is Buttock Augmentation?
Buttock augmentation is the surgery that improves the shape, the volume and the projection of the buttocks. When I do it with your own fat it is called a BBL: I remove fat from the areas where you have extra: abdomen, waist, back. I process it and graft it into the buttock.
That is why the result does not depend on the buttock alone: much of the change comes from slimming the waist and the back. It is a whole-silhouette surgery, not a single-area one. There is also the option with implants, and at your consultation I explain which one fits your body better.
Who Is a Candidate for Buttock Augmentation?
This is a surgery where being a good candidate matters more than in any other, because safety depends on it. I do not operate on everyone who asks. These are the points I go over with you:

Upper buttock
Mid buttock
Lower buttock

Back and flanks
Your Process: 4 Stages of Your Surgery
Consultation and Surgical Plan
It all starts with a calm conversation. I assess your whole figure, the fat available for grafting, the quality of your skin and the shape of your buttocks. I tell you frankly what volume is realistic and what isn’t.
Pre-Surgical Preparation
The internist evaluates you, orders the tests that apply, and the anesthesiologist reviews your case. I give you written instructions for the days beforehand and the care needed to prevent blood clots.
The Surgery
First I remove the fat from the donor areas and process it. Then I graft it into the buttock, always in the superficial plane and in layers, so that it gets a good blood supply and the procedure is safe.
Follow-Up Visits and Monitoring
I accompany you at scheduled check-ups, with lymphatic drainage and a review of your progress at my office, until the result stabilizes. How many sessions you need depends on your recovery.
What to Expect from Your Buttock Augmentation: Day by Day
First days – Swelling and Compression Garment
You go home with a compression garment and with instructions not to sit directly on your buttocks. It is normal to feel swelling and discomfort in the areas where I removed fat, more than in the buttocks themselves.
First weeks – Drainage Sessions and Back to Your Routine
The lymphatic drainage sessions begin at my office and the swelling starts to subside. Most patients go back to desk work in a short time; exercise waits longer.
First Months — The Fat Settles
Part of the grafted fat is reabsorbed and the rest stays permanently. That’s why the buttock looks bigger at first and then settles.
Final Result — A Defined Silhouette
Once the swelling has finished going down, the real result appears, and it involves both the buttocks and the waist. The fat that survives behaves like any other fat in your body.
Post-Op Care Specific
to Buttock Augmentation
In this surgery the aftercare isn’t a detail: it is what protects the graft and your safety. These are my instructions:

Results Gallery: Before and After
Cases of my own patients who authorized the use of their images. Every body starts from a different figure and a different amount of fat, so these cases are a general reference and not a promise of results.
It Is Your Own Fat
There is no external material and no risk of rejection. The fat that survives integrates into your body and behaves like the rest of your tissue.
Double Benefit
You gain shape in the buttocks and lose volume at the waist, back or abdomen. A good part of the change comes from there.
What Survives Is Permanent
Part of the fat is reabsorbed in the first months and the rest stays. How much varies from one person to another, and we talk about that before operating.
What Buttock Augmentation Does Not Do
It is not a method for losing weight and it does not correct significant skin sagging. And if you do not have enough fat to graft, I tell you from the very first consultation.
