HOW TO GET THE BEST RESULTS AFTER an asIAN BUTT LIFT (ABL)
After your Brazilian Butt Lifting procedure, we know how excited you are to show off your new curvy waist and bigger bums. But before you return to work, hit the beach or gym, there are several important instructions that you need to follow to ensure a smooth and successful recovery, and the best possible outcome.
1. You should stay in bed the first 24 hours except when eating or going to the toilet. A responsible adult must accompany you during this time.
2. Do not remove the elastic bandage applied on your tummies (and waist) to prevent bleeding and accumulation of fluids in the areas.
3. It is normal to have some blood-tinge fluids soaking your dressing or dripping from your incision sites on the first day.
4. Follow-up with Dr. Al on the 2nd or 3rd day (as per instruction) after surgery for wound cleaning and placement of waterproof plasters. Re-application of the elastic bandage is also done. If your new compression garment (body shaper) is available, our staff would gladly assist you wear this.
5. Expect some soreness over the parts of the buttocks where fats were grafted and where liposuction was made.
6. Sit only on seats with soft cushion. Avoid pressure over the injected parts of your butt.
7. Take the medications provided, antibiotics (to prevent infection) and pain medication.
8. Come back on the 7th day (after surgery) for stitch removal.
9. Maintain use of the body shaping garment for 6-8 weeks.
10. Nourish your fats by eating well (not excessive). No diets for 2 months.
11. No cardio exercises, squatting or stretching of the buttocks

BBL SAFETY PROTOCOL BY DR. AL JAAFAR
A. The procedure will be done under General Anesthesia to ensure your airway is secured.
B. Harvesting and processing techniques include:
1. Use of Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL) for efficient harvesting and removal of fats.
2. Closed-system handling (special use of Lipo-Filter Kit) to minimize exposure to contaminants.
3. No centrifugation method to lessen trauma to fats. Gravity or decantation is done instead, to separate fats from blood and fluids.
4. Avoiding gauze-filtration process to keep away impurities (like fibers) getting into the fats that may cause reaction or bring in infections.
C. Adherence to safe grafting techniques for BBL like:
1. Immediate grafting of harvested fats (within 2 hours of processing) to ensure viability and high survival rate.
2. Prevent intra-vascular injection with:
a. Use of blunt and big-diameter cannulas.
b. Grafting fats into fat layers only. No intra-muscular injection (where big blood vessels are located).
c. Refraining from the pointing of cannula to the direction of blood vessels.
3. Injection of fats in small graft sizes for good blood supply access and increased viability.
4. Even distribution of fats, avoiding big lumps injection that are prone to fat necrosis (fat death) or development of abscess.
5. Injection into multi-layers of the subcutaneous tissue for more volume grafting.
asIAN BUTT LIFTING OPERATIVE TECHNIQUE
Operative techniques are usually for surgeons. We made this in the simplest of words for you to have a glimpse and have a clear understanding of what we do during an ABL procedure.
1. INDUCTION OF GENERAL ANESTHESIA
Medication that will put you to sleep will initially be given via IV (thru the vein), and then an airway tube will be inserted through your throat where gas anesthesia will takeover throughout the entire procedure.
2. PREPPING OF TUMMY W/ ANTISEPTIC SOLUTION
Povidone-Iodine cleanser and solution are applied over the tummy (including areas above and below) to make the area sterile.
3. PLACEMENT OF STERILE SURGICAL DRAPES
Drapes cover the unsterile areas around the tummy to avoid the surgeon from being contaminated during surgery.
4. REPEAT MARKINGS
Markings are typically made during photo taking. Prepping lightens the drawing, thus the surgeon repeats them.
5. SKIN INCISIONS
For the tummy, 2 small incisions (1/4 inch) are made just below the fold of the breasts, and another 2 over the folds of the lower tummy. Additional incision may be made over the navel depending on the needs of the surgeon.
6. INFILTRATION OF TUMESCENT FLUID OVER THE TUMMY AND FLANKS
Tumescent fluid is a mix of numbing and blood vessel constricting medicines. This helps in softening the fats, provide additional anesthesia, and minimizing bleeding. 1000-2000ml of fluids is infiltrated.
7. WAITING TIME
This will give time for the tumescent fluid to take its effect (around 20-30 minutes).
8. FAT HARVESTING AND CONTOURING
Using manual syringe or power-assisted liposuction (PAL) machine, fats are suctioned/harvested, and directed into several big syringes (50cc) or directly into the Lipo-Filter System.
9. FAT PROCESSING
Harvested fats are left to stand in syringes on a rack (decantation) by gravity, for 30-60 minutes, to allow separation of fats from fluids and blood, which are eventually discarded.
10. INCISIONS CLOSURE
11. REPOSITIONING
Patient is turned into prone position after lipo-harvesting and lipo-contouring are completed on the tummy and the front part of the flanks (waist). The process takes 30-45 minutes from repositioning to having the incisions for the back liposuction.
12. PREPPING OF THE BACK AND BUTTOCKS
13. PLACEMENT OF STERILE SURGICAL DRAPES
14. REPEAT MARKINGS
15. SKIN INCISION
For the back, 2 small incisions (1/4 inch) are made just above the upper border of the buttocks or 1 single midline incision a few inches above the tailbone.
16. INFILTRATION OF TUMESCENT FLUID OVER THE LOWER BACK AND FLANKS.
1000-2000ml of fluids is infiltrated.
17. WAITING TIME
18. FAT GRAFTING OR FAT TRANSFER TO THE BUTT
Processed fats are grafted into the buttocks via the same incisions earlier mentioned, using smaller syringes (10cc) connected to a blunt cannula (3.5mm or bigger). Between 150cc to 400cc of fats are transferred per butt.
19. FAT HARVESTING AND CONTOURING OF THE FLANKS AND LOWER BACK
Additional fats from these areas may be processed and added to the initial volume of fats already grafted (if needed).
20. LIPOSUCTION OF OTHER AREAS (USUALLY BRA LINE AND UPPER BACK)
*NOT INCLUDED IN ABL PACKAGE BUT OFTEN REQUESTED BY PATIENTS AS ADDITIONAL PROCEDURE.
21. INCISIONS CLOSURE
22. APPLICATION OF ANTISEPTIC
23. ELASTIC COMPRESSION
24. END OF ANESTHESIA
THE MODERN, safer, and more natural approach to buttocks augmentation or enhancement
The shape of the buttocks plays a major role in body proportions, feminine aesthetics, and overall body harmony. A well-defined waist, smooth hips, and naturally projected buttocks can dramatically improve a person's silhouette, creating a more youthful, attractive, and confident appearance. However, a beautiful body is not defined by a single body part. The most desirable figure is achieved when the waist, hips, thighs, and buttocks blend together seamlessly in balanced proportion.
For many years, buttocks augmentation procedures primarily focused on increasing the size of the buttocks. Today, aesthetic surgery has evolved beyond simple enlargement. Modern body contouring emphasizes the enhancement of overall body proportions, recognizing that an attractive result comes not only from fuller buttocks but also from strategic contouring of the waist, flanks, hips, and lower back. The goal is to create a harmonious hourglass silhouette that complements the patient's natural anatomy.
At NEU Advanced Aesthetics Center in Makati, Philippines, Dr. Al Farabi Jaafar combines advanced liposuction, fat transfer, and body contouring principles to achieve elegant and natural-looking curves tailored specifically for Asian patients. Through years of experience performing body contouring and buttocks enhancement procedures, Dr. Jaafar recognized that many Asian patients possess unique anatomical characteristics and aesthetic preferences that differ from those commonly seen in traditional Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) candidates.
This realization led to the development of the Asian Butt Lift (ABL), a pioneering approach to buttock enhancement that focuses on proportion, balance, and natural beauty rather than simply maximizing buttocks volume. The procedure emphasizes waist narrowing, hip dip correction, strategic fat grafting, and moderate buttock projection to create results that appear naturally attractive and proportionate to the patient's frame.
Whether you are seeking a fuller buttocks appearance, correction of hip dips, an improved waist-to-hip ratio, enhanced body contours after weight loss, or a safer alternative to conventional Brazilian Butt Lift procedures, every treatment plan is carefully customized to your individual anatomy and goals. The focus is always on achieving natural-looking results while maintaining the highest standards of patient safety.
Patients travel to NEU Advanced Aesthetics Center from throughout the Philippines as well as from the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, the Middle East, and other parts of the world seeking personalized buttock enhancement procedures performed by Dr. Jaafar. His expertise in liposuction, fat transfer, body sculpting, and the Asian Butt Lift philosophy has helped patients achieve smoother curves, improved proportions, and greater confidence in their appearance.
Whether you are considering a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), Asian Butt Lift (ABL), Hip Dip Correction, Skinny BBL, Fat Transfer to the Buttocks, or comprehensive Body Contouring in the Philippines, our goal is to help you achieve a naturally beautiful figure that enhances your unique anatomy rather than changing who you are.
What Is a Butt Lift?
A butt lift refers to procedures designed to improve:
Buttock shape
Buttock projection
Hip contour
Waist-to-hip ratio
Overall body silhouette
Many patients mistakenly believe a butt lift simply enlarges the buttocks. In reality, successful buttock enhancement involves:
1. Waist Sculpting
Reducing excess fat around the abdomen (upper and lower tummies), lower ribs area, flanks, and lower back.
2. Hip Enhancement
Creating smoother transitions between the waist and thighs. This involves grafting harvested fats into the "hip dip" region and contouring/reducing bulges above and below these dips.
3. buttocks Projection
Strategically increasing volume where needed.
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) in the Philippines
The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is one of the most popular body contouring procedures worldwide. BBL combines:
1. Liposuction
2. Fat purification
3. Fat grafting into the buttocks
The patient's own fat is harvested from donor areas such as:
- Abdomen
- Flanks/waist
- Lower back
- Thighs
The purified fat is then strategically injected into the buttocks to improve volume and shape. BBL became globally popular because it uses natural tissue rather than implants. Advantages include:
- Natural appearance
- Natural feel
- Simultaneous waist reduction
- Long-lasting results
- No foreign implants
Introducing the Asian Butt Lift (ABL)
A Procedure Designed Specifically for East Asian Anatomy by Dr. Jaafar
After years of experience performing body contouring procedures on East Asian patients, Dr. Al Farabi Jaafar developed the concept of the Asian Butt Lift (ABL).
While traditional BBL techniques were largely developed based on Latin American and Western beauty ideals, many East Asian patients possess different:
- Skeletal proportions
- Fat distribution patterns
- Hip anatomy
- Aesthetic preferences
As a result, high-volume BBL techniques may not always produce the most natural outcomes for Asian patients. ABL was developed to address these differences, including the safety issue on BBL.
Why Traditional BBL Is Not Always Ideal for East Asians
Asian women often present with:
1. Smaller Natural Buttocks
Less natural projection compared to Latin populations.
2. Prominent Hip Dips
Indentations between the hip and upper thigh.
3. Wider Waist-to-Hip Ratios
Less definition between waist and hips.
4. Limited Fat Availability
Many patients are relatively slim.
5. Preference for Elegant Curves
Most Asian patients desire:
Feminine and natural rather than exaggerated enhancement.
The Philosophy Behind Asian Butt Lift (ABL)
Unlike conventional BBL where the primary focus may be big volume into the buttocks, ABL focuses on proportion.
The formula is simple:
Smaller Waist + Smoother Hips + Moderate Projection = Better Overall Figure
Patients often discover that waist reduction creates a greater visual impact than adding large volumes of fat
alone.
Key Components of Asian Butt Lift
1. 360-Degree Liposuction
Areas commonly treated include:
Upper abdomen
Lower abdomen
Ribs
Flanks or Love handles
Lower back
Bra rolls (option)
2. Waist Narrowing
Waist sculpting creates a stronger hourglass effect.
3. Hip Dip Correction
One of the most important features of ABL. Fat is strategically placed to smooth lateral depressions.
4. Buttock Shaping
The focus is:
Projection
Roundness
Symmetry
rather than maximum size.
5. Natural-Looking Results
Patients should appear naturally gifted rather than surgically enhanced.
Skinny BBL and Asian Butt Lift
Many patients ask: "I am slim. Can I still undergo a butt lift?" The answer is often yes. ABL is particularly suitable for slimmer patients because:
- Lower fat volumes may be sufficient
- Hip dip correction can dramatically improve shape
- Waist sculpting produces substantial visual enhancement
Many successful ABL patients receive modest fat volumes while achieving remarkable contour changes.
The Importance of Hip Dip Correction
Hip dips are among the most common concerns in Asian women. Hip dips occur due to:
- Pelvic anatomy
- Fat distribution
- Soft tissue structure
Many patients incorrectly believe they need a larger butt. In reality, correcting hip dips often provides a more dramatic improvement than increasing buttock size alone.
Candidate Evaluation
Good candidates include:
- Healthy adults
- Stable body weight
- BMI under 30
- Adequate donor fat
- Realistic expectations
Patients with BMI above 30 may benefit from nonsurgical weight reduction before surgery.
Safety Comes First
Safety remains the most important aspect of any buttock augmentation procedure. At NEU Advanced Aesthetics Center, safety begins long before surgery.
Our evaluation includes:
- Medical history
- Physical examination
- Laboratory testing
- Cardio clearance
- Anesthesia clearance
- Body contour analysis
- Pre-operative preparation
Every surgical plan is customized to the individual patient.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is ABL the same as BBL?
No. ABL is a modified body contouring philosophy developed specifically for East Asian or slim Caucasian anatomy.
Is fat transfer permanent?
A percentage of transferred fat survives permanently.
Can I sit after surgery?
If most of the fats are grafted on the sides of the buttocks (hip dip), then sitting after the procedure is not restricted.
Will I have scars?
Only small liposuction access scars.
Can men undergo ABL?
Yes. Selected male patients may benefit from body contouring and buttock reshaping.
What is better, implants or fat transfer?
Most patients prefer fat transfer because it uses their own tissue. No foreign body, no displacement.
Can ABL correct hip dips?
Yes. Hip dip correction is one of its major strengths.
How much fat volume is usually grafted to the buttocks in Asian Butt Lift (ABL)?
Usually between 150cc to 400cc (average 200-250cc) per buttock depending on the depth of the hip dip, volume of fat harvested, and size of the patient.
How long do results last?
Results can be long-lasting when body weight remains stable.
