Butt Lift (BBL)

The Brazilian butt lift is a pioneering fat transfer technique that enables the enhancement of the buttocks without the need for implants. This procedure involves two key steps: first, excess fat is carefully removed from various areas of the body, such as the hips, abdomen, lower back, and thighs, using liposuction. Next, a portion of this harvested fat is skillfully injected into the buttocks to achieve a more defined and curvaceous shape.
By choosing a highly trained and experienced cosmetic surgeon, patients can enjoy a comprehensive transformation of their lower body. Not only will they be able to eliminate excess fat from common trouble spots, but they will also benefit from enhanced buttocks that are designed to look natural and youthful for many years to come.

Get Started

How BBL is performed in Turkey?

During a Brazilian butt lift procedure, your surgeon will typically use general anesthesia to ensure your comfort and relaxation. The first step is to remove excess fat from other areas of your body, such as the hips, stomach, and thighs, using liposuction. This technique involves making small incisions in the skin and then using a tube to extract the fat.
The extracted fat is then carefully purified and prepared for injection into the buttocks. Your surgeon will strategically inject the processed fat into specific areas to achieve a more rounded and full silhouette. This process requires multiple incisions around the buttocks, which are closed with stitches to promote healing.
To minimize the risk of bleeding and promote a smooth recovery, your surgeon will apply a compression garment to the treated areas of skin. With proper care and attention, you can expect a natural-looking and long-lasting result from your Brazilian butt lift procedure.

What are the differences of BBL and Butt Lift in Turkey?

Both traditional buttock lifts and Brazilian butt lifts share a common goal: to transform the appearance of the posterior, creating a shapelier and firmer silhouette that exudes youthfulness and beauty. While both procedures aim to improve the contours of the butt, they differ in their approach.

The traditional buttock lift is a skin-tightening procedure that removes excess skin and rejuvenates the underlying tissue, resulting in a firmer and more toned profile. This is ideal for individuals with sagging skin around the butt.

In contrast, the Brazilian butt lift employs a fat transfer technique, where fat is harvested from one area of the body, purified, and then injected into the buttocks. This method is particularly suitable for those with sagging butts and excess fat in other areas of the body, as it provides a more natural-looking augmentation.

Ultimately, the choice between a Brazilian butt lift and a traditional buttock lift depends on individual body type and aesthetic goals. Consulting with an experienced professional can help determine which procedure is best suited for achieving the desired results.

Who are suitable for BBL in Turkey?

To achieve optimal results from a Brazilian Butt Lift, you should:

  • Be in good health and free from medical conditions that could affect your results
  • Not be a smoker, as smoking can negatively impact the treatment and its outcomes
  • Have a small buttocks or lack of shape, as this treatment can help transform your backside and improve body proportions
  • Have tried diet and exercise routines to build glute muscles without success, as this treatment can fill in areas where other methods cannot
  • Have enough fat to remove from a donor site for the fat transfer process
  • Have realistic expectations about the treatment results, understanding that it will deliver natural-looking outcomes rather than exaggerated ones
  • Be willing to commit to the recovery process and follow post-treatment care instructions

Is it safe to have BBL in Turkey?

When undergoing a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), it's essential to prioritize your safety and the success of the procedure. To achieve optimal outcomes, our board-certified plastic surgeons and reputable facility adhere to the following guidelines:

1Purification and Preparation

Fat Purification:

We ensure that only purified fat cells are reintroduced into your body, increasing the chances of successful fat survival and reducing the risk of complications.
2Precise Injection Techniques

Anatomical Understanding

Our expert surgeons have a deep understanding of the anatomy and will inject fat at the proper depth, carefully avoiding large blood vessels to minimize the risk of adverse reactions.

Technique Precision

We use precise injection techniques to ensure that the fat is evenly distributed and positioned for optimal results.
3Avoiding Complications

Moderation is Key:

It's tempting to want dramatic results, but it's essential to avoid overfilling, which can lead to complications, an unnatural appearance, and potentially even harm.

Post-Operative Care:

Following postoperative instructions, such as avoiding direct pressure on the treated area and wearing compression garments, is crucial for optimal healing and reducing the risk of complications.

By following these guidelines, we can deliver exceptional results while minimizing risks.

What are the risks or side effects of BBL in Turkey?

Common Side Effects of BBL

  • Discomfort: You may feel some pain or discomfort during recovery.
  • Swelling and Bruising: Expect some swelling and bruising at the treated areas.
  • Numbness: You may feel numbness at the injection sites, which usually goes away after 2-3 weeks.
  • Bumps or Lumps: You might notice bumps or lumps on your abdomen or buttocks, but these usually resolve on their own.

Potential Risks to Avoid in a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

  • One of the most significant risks is fat being injected too far into the muscle, which can lead to serious complications such as fat embolism, a potentially fatal condition.

  • The use of dermal fillers or silicone, which are not approved for BBL procedures. This can result in unappealing results that may require revision surgery or even serious complications.

  • Improper fat injection can cause fat necrosis, where the fat dies due to inadequate blood supply, leading to subpar results. Fat reabsorption is also a common issue, where the body absorbs some of the transferred fat, requiring additional procedures to achieve desired results.

  • Other potential risks include nerve damage, where improper injection can cause compression on major nerves, affecting sensation and mobility. It's crucial to choose an experienced and skilled plastic surgeon who has performed numerous BBLs and has a track record of satisfied clients.

Before undergoing a BBL, make sure to ask your surgeon about their experience with the procedure, their techniques, and their approach to avoiding these potential risks.

How long does it take to recover from BBL in Turkey?

Recovery After a Brazilian Butt Lift: A Step-by-Step Guide

  1. During the initial post-surgical period, it's crucial to strike a balance between rest and mobility. While you'll need to avoid putting direct pressure on the treated area for 2 weeks, gentle movement and walking are essential for promoting blood circulation and preventing complications. Your surgeon will provide specific instructions on how to manage your recovery, including avoiding sitting on the treated area until cleared at 2 weeks post-op. 
  1. As you progress through the recovery stages, you can expect a gradual reduction in pain and tenderness. In the first week, your surgeon will dress you in a compression garment to minimize swelling and discomfort, and you'll schedule a follow-up appointment to assess your recovery. During this time, you'll likely experience significant swelling.
  1. In the second week, you'll notice an improvement in discomfort levels, but it's still essential to avoid sitting directly on the treated area. You can resume gentle activities like walking and household chores, but avoid strenuous exercises or heavy lifting. 
  1. As you enter the third week, you'll become more mobile and can gradually increase your activity level. This includes taking longer walks and engaging in moderate exercise. By this stage, most patients can resume driving and participate in daily activities. However, some discomfort may still persist.

 The final stage of recovery occurs between 6-8 weeks post-surgery, where discomfort should be minimal, and much of the swelling will have subsided. It's essential to remember that final results may take up to 3-6 months to appear. Throughout your recovery journey, be sure to contact your plastic surgeon if you experience any increased pain or discomfort.

What is the ideal age for BBL in Turkey?

  • Physical Maturity: The ideal candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift should have fully developed physically, typically between the late teens to early twenties. Younger individuals may not have the necessary fat deposits or body contours, while older individuals may experience skin laxity and reduced skin elasticity.
  • Emotional Readiness: Emotional maturity is crucial for a successful BBL. Individuals should be emotionally stable, have realistic expectations about the outcomes, and be prepared to cope with potential complications or dissatisfaction with the results.
  • Health Considerations: Good overall health is essential for a successful BBL. Younger individuals tend to be healthier and have a faster recovery time, while older individuals may have underlying health conditions that could complicate the surgery and affect the healing process.

What to expect after BBL in Turkey?

1Initial Phase
Immediately after surgery, you can expect some discomfort and swelling in the treated areas, which can last for around three months.
2Swelling and Inflammation:
The swelling and inflammation caused by liposuction and surgery can make your buttocks appear larger, but this will gradually subside over time.
3Fluffing Stage:
As the swelling dissipates, you'll enter the fluffing stage, where your results settle and feel natural. This stage usually begins around three months after surgery and lasts for 6-8 weeks.
4Signs of Fluffing
Keep an eye out for changes in your skin texture and buttock shape. As the fluffing stage progresses, your skin will become softer, more elastic, and less tense. Your buttocks will take on a rounder shape, feeling and looking more natural as the skin stretches to accommodate the newly introduced fat.
