Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is a procedure in which fat obtained through liposuction from a person's own body is injected into the buttock area to give it a fuller, lifted, and rounder appearance. It is a popular body contouring surgery that balances the waist-to-hip ratio.

✓Buttock augmentation with fat injection
The procedure called "BBL surgery with fat injection" refers to transferring fat taken from the abdomen, waist and leg areas of the body to the buttock area. In addition to buttock shaping for the patient, it also provides shaping in the areas where fat is taken. The procedure has 2 benefits for the patient in one procedure.
Since no foreign material enters the body, it is accepted as "the most natural buttock augmentation method". Fat tissues in the body are taken using Vaser Liposuction or classic liposuction. It undergoes certain procedures and is injected into the buttocks. Therefore, it is a very natural procedure.
To increase the quality of fat and increase the permanence of BBL surgery, live and quality fat stem cells are selected. Therefore, the fat taken undergoes a brief technical procedure. The fat tissue undergoing the procedure is transferred to the buttocks with fine cannulas. This allows us to perform scarless buttock augmentation surgery.
Fats move like natural body tissue. Therefore, it is not noticeable from the outside. Also, it is not as prominent or palpable as silicone. Since it is the patient's own fat, there is no situation where the body rejects the fat. Additionally, it eliminates allergy problems. Besides, if there is cellulite, some of it may also disappear after this procedure.
✓How permanent is buttock augmentation with fat injection?
40% of the transferred fats dissolve after 6-7 months. Since the surgeon knows this, he transfers more fat than necessary. This is so that when melting occurs, the desired buttock shape remains permanently. The fat tissue that does not melt will now stay with you and will not melt in the future.
If the patient is thin; in such a case, this procedure cannot be performed. Since there is no fat to be taken from patients without fat tissue, silicone implant is recommended. Or both procedures are performed at the same time. Additionally, since the remaining fat cells are alive, if the patient gains or loses weight in the future, fat may increase or decrease.
✓BBL Revision
The name given to the 2nd BBL surgery performed on patients who had BBL surgery before but somehow remained unsatisfied. It is performed to eliminate volume loss and shape deformities. It is usually done because there is a difference between 2 buttocks. Additionally, it is frequently performed on patients whose buttock size is insufficient.
The most common reasons our patients apply to us with unsuccessful BBL revision requests are as follows:
As a result of fat being injected into the wrong area, the buttock sags downward, so it is operated again. Additionally, a 2nd surgery may be performed to eliminate waviness and depressions in the area where liposuction was performed. The most commonly seen problem is performed to eliminate problems arising from the buttock looking square instead of round.
The 2nd BBL surgery should be performed at least six months, ideally 12 months after the first surgery. Because edema and swelling must completely subside. Additionally, the shape of the remaining fat should be clearly visible.
✓BBL Surgery for Men
Unlike women, the purpose of BBL surgery in men is to achieve a more "Athletic", "Muscular" and "Square" appearance. While volume is usually given to the lower and middle parts in women; in men, volume is given more to the upper and middle parts to mimic the Gluteus Maximus muscle. This creates the appearance of a muscular buttock achieved through sports. We call this "Male buttock contouring".
While a thin waist (hourglass) is desired in women; in men, the waist becoming thinner but the transition to the hips being flatter, thus the body taking on a "V-Taper" (V Shape) is targeted. The purpose of doing this is to allow men to wear pants more comfortably. In some men, pants fall down because of inadequate buttock.
In men who gain excessive weight, the buttock can also empty and sag. This problem can also be eliminated with surgery. Additionally, it is genetic that one buttock is larger and smaller than the other.
Muscular buttock aesthetics; technically the fat removal is the same. But when transferred, instead of creating an hourglass appearance, without sharpening the buttocks, it attempts to obtain a stronger buttock.
After surgery, one should not sit on the buttocks for 2 weeks. On average, the patient should wear a corset for 4 weeks. Walking and sports can be done immediately. Sports should be started with women's weights.
✓Buttock augmentation with silicone vs fat transfer
In buttock augmentation surgeries performed with silicone, the rate of appearance of scarring and fluid accumulation in the incision area is high. In fat transfer, only fluid accumulation is observed at a low rate. I think this is related to the surgeon's work being far from meticulous. Placing silicone in the buttocks must be done meticulously, all possibilities must be considered.
✓What should be paid attention to before the procedure?
Brazilian buttock aesthetics is performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately 2-3 hours.
Since it may negatively affect the patient's recovery process, it is recommended to stop smoking and alcohol use approximately 2-3 weeks before surgery.
The patient should not consume blood thinning medications and supplements such as aspirin and vitamin E, herbal teas starting from 1-2 weeks before surgery.
It is recommended that the patient avoid or limit consuming foods and beverages containing caffeine 24 hours before surgery.
The patient should inform the doctor of their health history and medications used during the examination. The plastic surgeon considers the patient's current health status when planning the surgery.
It is recommended that the patient stay in the hospital for 1 day after Brazilian butt lift surgery.
The recovery time from the surgery varies between 1-2 weeks depending on the patient's condition, and the patient must rest at home for at least 2-3 days after the surgery.
If the patient experiences pain after surgery, they can use pain relievers prescribed by the doctor.
The patient can shower 3 days after surgery.
For approximately 2 weeks after surgery, the patient should avoid sitting or lying directly on the buttocks and should lie face down. During the recovery process, to prevent pressure on the buttocks, it is recommended that the patient sit with donut-shaped pillows or by placing a pillow under their thighs.
The patient can start sitting normally 8 weeks after surgery.
The patient can return to work within 1-2 weeks.
To reduce bruising and swelling, it is recommended that the patient wear a compression garment for approximately 3-4 weeks after surgery. During this period, the patient can only remove the garment when showering.
The patient can start walking 1 week after surgery but should avoid heavy exercise for approximately 2 months.
If Brazilian butt lift surgery is performed using the fat injection method, the marks on the skin surface are barely visible to the eye; scars can only be found in the areas where cannulas were used.

What is Brazilian Buttocks, Brazilian Butt Lift, Brazilian Butt Lifting?
Brazilian buttocks surgery is defined as an operation that increases the volume of the buttocks and lifts them. This procedure, also known as Brazilian butt lift and Brazilian Butt Lifting (BBL), uses liposuction and fat injections to give the buttocks volume, making them appear firm and round. In Brazilian buttocks surgery, excess fat from areas where fat accumulates such as the back, abdomen, waist, and thighs are removed through liposuction and injected into the buttock area. However, very thin patients may not have enough fat tissue in their body for this procedure. In such cases, BBL procedure can be performed with silicone buttock implants to achieve the desired volume. For the surgery to produce the expected results, the patient must also be physically suitable for this procedure.
