Every body is individual – and that naturally applies to the shape of the buttocks too. Some people naturally have a pleasing curve. Others tend to have a heart-shaped or V-shaped silhouette, where the upper area appears wider than the lower. There are also straight, rectangular shapes, or an A-shape, where the buttocks appear fuller towards the bottom. Many people feel their buttocks are too flat overall and wish for more volume. If you want to achieve rounder buttocks, there are various ways to reach your goal. Special exercises can effectively build up the muscles and provide more shape. In cases where training alone does not achieve the desired effect, the so-called Brazilian Butt Lift at the Acuraklinik in Weert offers an aesthetic medical solution. Here, we can lift and enlarge your buttocks using implants or fat transfer. Below, we will inform you about your options.
When the curve is missing: causes of a flat bottom
A flat bottom is primarily characterised by a lack of volume and less pronounced contour. Instead of a round, harmonious shape, the buttocks appear rather straight and undefined. The reasons for the lack of curvature can vary greatly:
- Genetic predisposition
The natural shape of your buttocks is determined to a certain extent. If flatter shapes are more common in your family, this can also be apparent in you. In such cases, achieving a significantly rounder silhouette through training alone often requires more effort. - Poor muscle development
The musculature has a decisive influence on the shape of the buttocks. If it is only weakly developed, there is a lack of volume and structure. This makes the bottom appear flatter and less defined overall. - Lack of exercise in everyday life
A predominantly sedentary lifestyle means that the gluteal muscles are hardly activated. Without regular stress, very little muscle is built up. However, this is important for achieving a rounded bottom.
Depending on the cause, there are different approaches to achieving more fullness – from targeted training to aesthetic medical treatments.
Get a round bum: Tips for muscle building
The shape of your bottom is largely determined by the underlying musculature – particularly by the gluteus maximus muscle (Gluteus maximusIf you want a rounder bum, there's hardly a way around structured strength training. Only through repeated stress stimuli does the gluteus maximus muscle grow and ensure more volume and a defined contour in the long term.
What's crucial isn't just which exercises you do, but also how you train. Classics like squats, lunges, hip thrusts, or kickbacks directly target the gluteal muscles and promote their development. Exercises where you work against resistance, such as with weights or fitness bands, are particularly effective. This intensifies the growth stimulus.
Regularity also plays an important role. Individual training sessions usually only show minimal and short-term effects. Continuous training over several weeks and months can bring about visible changes. Additionally, it can be useful to gradually increase the intensity to continually challenge the muscles.
When performed correctly, gluteal muscle training not only adds volume but also results in a firmer, more lifted posterior. However, the results will vary individually depending on genetic predisposition and starting point. Furthermore, the desired curvature cannot always be achieved by training alone.
Nutrition as an important building block for visible results
Besides training, your diet also plays a crucial role if you want to get a rounded bottom. This is because muscles don't grow from exertion alone. They need the right nutrients to build up and become visible.
Above all, a protein-rich diet supports muscle building, as proteins serve as „building blocks“ for the musculature. Foods such as fish, meat, eggs, legumes, or dairy products can help promote recovery after training and support the building of new muscle mass.
Furthermore, a balanced diet ensures that your body is optimally supplied. Complex carbohydrates provide energy for training, while healthy fats perform important metabolic functions. At the same time, a conscious diet can help regulate body fat percentage. This is another crucial factor in ensuring that the muscles you build are also visibly apparent.
Optical support through shapewear
If you want a plump-looking posterior immediately, special shapewear can offer a quick solution. This shaping underwear works with integrated padding, reinforced zones, or clever cut designs that lift and sculpt your buttocks.
The effect is purely visual: the silhouette appears fuller, firmer, and more harmonious, without any change to the actual musculature or tissue structure.
Shapewear is primarily suitable as a short-term way to visibly support the desired silhouette, for example for special occasions. However, lasting changes cannot be achieved this way. As soon as you take off the bum lift, the effect is lost.
From flat to round: A perky posterior with a Brazilian Butt Lift
Anyone who wishes for a permanently rounder and fuller bottom shape often reaches their limits with training or optical aids. At this point, the so-called Brazilian Butt Lift in our Acura clinic in Weert into play – an aesthetic-medical approach that specifically alters volume and contour.
In principle, the procedure can be well compared to breast augmentation: here too, the aim is no longer just to build up volume alone, but above all to create a shape that looks natural and fits the body. Depending on the starting situation and the patient's wishes, different methods can be used for breast augmentation: with Implants or Autologous fat.
The Brazilian butt lift works in a similar way: rather than a standardised enlargement, the focus is on individual sculpting, where volume is used strategically to achieve the desired curve and contour.
Cows' rumps get lipofilling: Brazilian butt lift with own fat.
At the Fat transfer BBL we use your body's own fat cells to give your buttocks more volume and a fuller shape.
The process follows a clear principle: first, we remove from you with a kind of Mini-liposuction Fat from areas where it is in surplus – typically the abdomen, hips, or thighs. We then process this fat and transfer it to your buttocks.
The particular advantage of this method is that not only does the bottom gain volume, but other areas of the body appear slimmer at the same time. This creates an overall more balanced silhouette, with which we can specifically optimise the proportions.
What is possible with your own fat, however, always depends on your individual circumstances. The crucial factor is primarily whether sufficient fatty tissue is available that is suitable for the treatment. In addition, only a portion of the transferred fat cells will be permanently accepted by the body. A certain percentage will be broken down again by the body in the first few weeks. The final result therefore develops gradually.
Regarding achievable volume, there are natural limits. Extreme changes cannot be achieved with fat grafting alone. Instead, the focus is on a natural-looking result that harmoniously integrates with your body shape.
Cows' bottoms get a BBL: Brazilian Butt Lift with implants
As well as treatment with autologous fat, the Brazilian Butt Lift also offers the option of shaping the buttocks using implants. This procedure is particularly suitable when there is little body fat available or a greater increase in volume is desired.
For this, we use specially developed buttock implants, which we individually select in shape and size to suit your body.
Compared to the autologous fat transfer method, with implants for a BBL, the volume can be planned more precisely and also increased more significantly. The result is usually immediately visible and remains stable in the long term, as there is no breakdown as with the body's own fat.
