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.
✓Who demands Brazilian buttock aesthetics
Patients who want a larger buttock and have sufficient fat accumulation in their body can request buttock silicone. Patients who want a larger buttock but do not want to carry silicone prosthesis.
✓Benefits of Brazilian buttock aesthetics
High success rate, satisfactory satisfaction level. Easily correcting flat and sagging buttocks. Being a safe procedure and having a more reasonable price compared to silicone prosthesis. Reducing cellulite, stretch marks and fat deposits. The surgery being painless and potentially permanent for a lifetime. Being the best method for cellulite problems.
✓Buttock enlargement with fat injection
The procedure called "BBL surgery with fat injection" refers to taking fat from the abdomen, waist and leg areas of the body and transferring it 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 operation.
✓Since no foreign substance enters the body, it is accepted as "the most natural buttock enlargement method". Fat tissues in the body are taken with Vaser Liposuction or classic lipo. It undergoes certain procedures and is injected into the buttocks. Therefore it is a very natural procedure.
✓To increase the quality of the fat and increase the permanence of BBL surgery, live and quality fat stem cells are selected. For this reason, the taken fats undergo a short technical procedure. The fat tissues undergoing the procedure are transferred to the buttock with fine cannulas. This allows us to perform buttock enlargement surgery without scars.
✓The fats move like natural body tissue. For this reason, it is not noticeable from the outside. Also, it is not prominent like silicone or palpable. Since it is the patient's own fat, there is no situation where the body rejects the fat. It also eliminates allergy problems. In addition, if there is cellulite, some of it may disappear after this procedure in the patient.
✓How permanent is buttock enlargement with fat injection?
40% of the transferred fats melt 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 permanent. The non-melting fat tissues 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 done at the same time. Also, since the remaining fat cells are alive, if the patient gains or loses weight in the future, fat may increase or decrease.
✓BBL Revision
It is the name given to the 2nd BBL surgery performed on patients who had BBL surgery before but were somehow dissatisfied. It is done to eliminate volume loss and shape deformities. It is usually done because there is a difference between 2 buttocks. It is also frequently done for patients whose buttock size is insufficient.
✓The most common reasons our patients come to us requesting failed BBL revision are as follows:
✓As a result of fat being injected into the wrong area, the buttock sags downward and is operated on again. Also, a 2nd surgery can be performed to eliminate waviness and depressions in the area where lipo was performed. The most frequently seen problem is done to eliminate problems arising from the buttock appearing square rather than round.
✓2nd BBL surgery should be performed at least six months, ideally 12 months after the first surgery. This is because edema and swelling should completely subside. Also, the shape taken by the remaining fat should be clearly visible.
✓BBL Surgery for Men
Unlike women, the purpose of BBL surgery in men is to obtain a more "Athletic", "Muscular" and "Square" appearance. While volume is generally given to the lower and middle parts in women; in men, volume is given to the upper parts and center to mimic the Gluteus Maximus muscle. This creates a muscular buttock appearance created through sports. We call this "Male hip shaping".
✓While a thin waist (hourglass) is desired in women; in men, the narrowing of the waist is only done so that the transition to the buttocks is 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 because the buttock is lacking.
✓In men who gain excessive weight, the buttock can also be emptied and sag. This problem can also be eliminated with surgery. Also, it is genetically the case that one buttock is larger and smaller than the other.
✓Muscular buttock aesthetics; technically the fat removal is the same. But when transferred, it tries to obtain a stronger buttock without creating an hourglass appearance, without sharpening the buttock.
✓For 2 weeks after surgery, sitting on the buttock should not be done. On average, the patient should wear a corset for 4 weeks. Walking and sports can be done immediately. Sports are started with female weights.
✓Buttock enlargement with silicone vs. fat transfer
In buttock enlargement surgeries performed with silicone, the rate of wound and fluid accumulation at the incision site is high. In fat transfer, on the other hand, fluid accumulation is observed only in a small percentage. I think this is related to the surgeon's work being far from meticulous. Placing silicone in the buttock should be done with care, every possibility should 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.
✓It is recommended that the patient stop smoking and alcohol consumption approximately 2-3 weeks before surgery as it may negatively affect the recovery process.

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.
