Enhance Your Natural Curves with Buttock Fat Transfer
At Whitefish Plastic Surgery, we believe in helping you achieve natural, balanced, and confident results.

Whether you’re seeking subtle contouring or a more noticeable change, this safe, implant-free procedure is tailored to your individual aesthetic goals.
In this guide, you’ll learn how BBL works, what to expect, and why patients throughout Montana choose Whitefish Plastic Surgery and Dr. Sarah Nargi for expert buttock fat transfer services.
What Is a Buttock Fat Transfer?
A buttock fat transfer is a two-part body contouring procedure that enhances the shape of your buttocks by transferring fat from areas with excess volume.
Step 1: Liposuction
Fat is gently removed from donor areas such as the stomach, thighs, or love handles using advanced liposuction techniques.
Step 3: Fat Injection
Dr. Nargi strategically injects the fat into specific regions of the buttocks to create smooth, symmetrical, and natural-looking volume.
Benefits of Buttock Fat Transfer (BBL)
BBL offers both cosmetic and confidence-boosting benefits. Here’s what you can expect:
- Enhanced shape and fullness of the buttocks
- Natural look and feel, using your own fat, not implants
- Improved body proportions and silhouette
- Fat reduction in other areas (abdomen, thighs, or flanks) through liposuction
- Long-lasting results when paired with a healthy lifestyle
Whether you’re seeking a fatty butt appearance for better volume or subtle enhancement, your results will be designed to fit your body harmoniously.
Who Is a Good Candidate for BBL?
A buttock fat transfer may be right for you if:
- You are in good overall health
- You have enough excess fat for harvesting
- You prefer natural augmentation over implants
- You want to improve your body's proportions
- You have realistic expectations about the outcome
Your consultation with Dr. Nargi will include a full evaluation to determine if you’re a good candidate for this procedure.
Recovery Timeline: What to Expect
Healing after BBL surgery is essential to ensure proper fat retention and beautiful results. Here’s a general overview:
Days 1–3
Swelling, bruising, and soreness are common. Avoid sitting or lying directly on your buttocks.
Week 1
Gentle walking is encouraged to promote circulation. Continue avoiding pressure on the area.
Weeks 2–3
Most patients return to work with a special cushion. Swelling begins to subside.
Weeks 4–6
Resume light activity. Swelling and discomfort should continue to improve.
Months 2–3
Final shape begins to stabilize as transferred fat settles. Results continue to refine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is BBL surgery safe?
When performed by the trained BBL surgeon Dr. Nargi, the procedure is considered safe. We follow the latest safety protocols to reduce risks and improve outcomes.
How long do BBL results last?
With proper aftercare and weight maintenance, results can last many years. Some fat is naturally reabsorbed, but most patients retain 60–80% of the transferred fat long term.
Can I combine BBL with other procedures?
Many patients opt to combine BBL with procedures like tummy tucks or breast augmentation for a complete body makeover.
Is the "fatty butt" look customizable?
Whether you want a subtle lift or a more dramatic contour, Dr. Nargi will work with your body type and preferences to design the best shape for you.
When can I sit normally again?
Most patients can resume sitting without a BBL pillow after 6 weeks. Following positioning instructions is essential for optimal fat survival.
