What Is Included In Body Masculinisation Surgery at the CREO Gender?
Body masculinisation covers a wide range of procedures, but the most common treatments include liposuction, fat transfer, and the male BBL:
Liposuction
Liposuction removes targeted fat to sculpt and define areas of the body—helping create a more traditionally ma sculine shape. Common treatment areas include the chest and abdomen, where fat removal can enhance definition and contribute to a firmer, more chiseled appearance.
At CREO Gender, we offer a range of advanced techniques tailored to your needs, including:
- Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL)
- Radiofrequency-Assisted Liposuction (BodyTite)
- Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (VASER)
- Helium Plasma and RF-Assisted Liposuction (Renuvion)
For those seeking a more masculine silhouette, liposuction offers a gender-affirming path to a flatter chest or V-shaped torso. It can also be combined with fat transfer or other procedures for natural-looking, proportional results—always customized to your goals.
Fat Transfer
Fat transfer uses your own body fat to enhance and define key areas of the physique. Fat is first removed through liposuction – typically from the abdomen, flanks, or thighs – creating a leaner shape in those regions. The purified fat is then injected into areas like the buttocks or shoulders to add volume, firmness, and structure.
This technique not only enhances traditionally masculine contours but also balances the results of liposuction for a cohesive, sculpted look.
For trans men, non-binary, and gender non-conforming individuals, fat transfer can play a key role in gender-affirming care, helping you achieve a body that better reflects your identity and goals.
Masculinising Brazilian Butt Lift
Fat transfer to the buttocks is one of the most common procedures in body masculinization. Unlike the traditional BBL, which enhances roundness and curves, the male BBL is designed to create a firmer, more squared appearance with added volume in the right places.
To achieve this, fat is injected into the top, middle, and lower portions of the buttocks – while deliberately avoiding the sides. This sculpting approach adds projection and firmness without creating a feminine, curvy silhouette.
Dr. Omar Tillo is a leading expert in male BBL procedures. He has developed a refined technique that involves injecting fat only over the gluteal muscle – not into it – to avoid complications. Fat placement is guided in real time using ultrasound imaging, ensuring even distribution and improved safety.

Other Gender Affirming Surgeries in London For A More Masculine Aesthetic
Abdominal Etching
Abdominal etching is a form of high-definition (HD) liposuction that enhances muscle definition by targeting fat around the abdominal muscles. It’s ideal for sculpting a more toned, athletic appearance—especially for those seeking the look of a defined six-pack.
By precisely removing fat close to the muscle, this technique sharpens natural contours and creates a firmer, more traditionally masculine midsection.
Calf Augmentation
Calf augmentation enhances the shape and size of the lower legs to create a more muscular, masculine appearance. This can be achieved through fat transfer, silicone implants, or a combination of both—depending on your goals and anatomy.
At CREO Gender, Dr. Omar Tillo is one of the few UK surgeons who specialises in custom calf implants, offering tailored solutions that match your body and desired outcome. Each procedure is designed to deliver balanced, natural-looking results that strengthen the proportions of your lower body.
