Brazilian Butt Lift in Al Shunnar Plastic Surgery Clinic
About the clinic
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) at Al Shunnar Plastic Surgery Clinic in Dubai uses your own fat to reshape and enlarge the buttocks. This procedure provides natural-looking results without the use of artificial implants. The clinic team is led by American Double Board Certified surgeons who have helped over 10,000 patients and performed 25,000+ procedures.
Expert Surgical Team
The surgical team includes Dr. Buthainah Al-Shunnar, the first female Emirati plastic surgeon. She trained at Johns Hopkins Hospital and specializes in body contouring and fat transfer. Dr. Kamal Sawan is also a Johns Hopkins-trained consultant and former Chief of Plastic Surgery. Joining them is Dr. Claudia Alves Silva Machado, a specialist with over 20 years of experience who is certified by the Brazilian Board of Plastic Surgeons. This team brings high levels of expertise in fat grafting techniques from the USA and Brazil.
The BBL Procedure
The surgery typically takes 2 to 4 hours under general anesthesia or spinal sedation. It follows a three-step process to reshape your body:
- Liposuction: The surgeon harvests fat from the abdomen, hips, thighs, or lower back.
- Purification: The collected fat is cleaned and prepared for transfer.
- Injection: Purified fat is strategically placed into the buttocks to add volume.
Surgeons typically transfer 500 to 1,000 cc of fat per buttock cheek. Because the procedure involves liposuction, it also contours the donor areas, such as the waist or thighs, at the same time.
Recovery and Results
Most patients return to daily activities after one week and go back to work within two weeks. You must avoid sitting or lying directly on your buttocks for at least the first two weeks. Full recovery usually requires avoiding fat-burning exercise for eight weeks. While the body may reabsorb 30% to 50% of the fat, final results become visible around six months. Results remain stable if you maintain a steady weight.
Care and Safety at Al Shunnar
The clinic holds the UAE Business Awards Cosmetic Surgery Clinic of the Year title. Patients receive post-operative support including compression garments and lymphatic drainage massage. The team monitors recovery for at least two months through regular follow-up visits. Candidates for this surgery must have enough excess fat for grafting and realistic expectations. You can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss your body goals with a specialist.

Surgical and Aesthetic Specialties
Plastic surgery services focus on breast, facial, and body contouring procedures. The surgical team performs several complex breast operations:
- Breast augmentation with fat transfer or implants
- Breast lift (mastopexy) with internal bra techniques
- DIEP flap reconstruction for post-cancer patients
- Breast reduction and gynecomastia surgery for men
Fat transfer procedures use gentle liposuction devices. These protect live fat cells before purification and reinjection.
Facial rejuvenation options include the video-endoscopic facelift. Surgeons use small scalp incisions and an endoscope to reposition midface tissues. This method takes two to three hours and aims for a softer look with minimal visible scarring. The clinic also offers otoplasty and rhinoplasty.
Body sculpting programs combine fat removal with skin-tightening techniques. Specialists perform tummy tucks (abdominoplasty) and lower body lifts. For patients with keloid or hypertrophic scars, the clinic provides cryotherapy, steroid injections, and laser surgery to flatten scar tissue.
Aesthetic medicine and dermatology services are led by Dr. Elmira Gesheva. This department manages skin rejuvenation through several non-surgical methods:
- Botox injections for forehead lines and crow's feet
- Dermal fillers including Juvéderm and Restylane
- RF micro-needling for skin firmness
- Chemical peels in light, medium, and deep variants
Dermatology services also include Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections and specialized acne clearing treatments.
Medical Technology and Platforms
The clinic uses specific laser and ultrasound platforms for aesthetic treatments. For hair removal, specialists use the LightSheer Duet Diode Laser by Lumenis. Skin rejuvenation therapies are performed using the Harmony XL Pro and Dye-VL platforms by Alma Lasers. Surgical rooms have endoscopic cameras and monitors for minimally invasive facial procedures.
