Brazilian Butt Lift in Istanbul
The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a surgery including 2 main stages
What Is BBL?
The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a surgery including 2 main stages. At the first stage, fat tissue is harvested from one or more regions of the patient’s body through liposuction. Therefore, body regions that contain too much fat can be directly addressed. At the second stage, the patient’s own fat tissue is transferred into the patient’s butt. If you want to enlarge and shape your butt naturally (without using implants) and your body has extra fat that you want to get rid of, BBL may be an ideal treatment for you.

BeforeAfterWho Is A Good Candidate For BBL?
It is not hard to be eligible for a BBL procedure. If you are reading this, you are probably a candidate! The first requirement for every cosmetic surgery procedure is to be healthy. This is especially true for the Brazilian Butt Lift surgery. Because the newly transferred fat tissue can survive only if the body succeeds to generate a healthy blood supply for the new cells. In BBL procedures, the fat that will be transplanted to the butt will be harvested from the other regions of the body (such abdomen, waist, and thighs). Therefore, you need to have enough extra fat in your body to achieve meaningful results. If some parts of your body have excessive fat that you want to get rid of, and you want to have a larger and rounder butt, BBL may be the ideal treatment for you.
What are the Expected Outcomes of BBL?
The outcomes of BBL can be analyzed in two main categories: aesthetical and psychological. The Brazilian Butt Lift is a fat transfer procedure. Via BBL, both the donor regions (the regions from where the fat is harvested) and the butt (where the fat is transferred to) are aesthetically enhanced. Simultaneously, you will get rid of your excessive fat (located in your abdomen, waist, thighs, etc.) and you will have a larger and rounder butt which has more projection. Therefore, BBL procedure addresses whole body. Your surgeon will work on your body like a sculptor and you’ll have amazing new contours. The psychological outcomes of the procedure are as important as the physical ones. If you are not happy with your butt, you can experience serious psychological distress which can negatively affect your self-confidence and social live. After the procedure, you will have a more positive self-image. Your newly resized and better-proportioned butt will boost your self-confidence. You will confidently wear your favorite fancy clothes!
“For suitable patients, the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure is my first choice. Via BBL, we are able to sculp the body during both liposuction and re-injection stages. Plus, we augment the buttocks, using the patient’s own fat tissue, naturally.”
How Is A BBL Done?
BBL is a cosmetic surgery procedure performed to change the appearance of the butt by injecting the patient's own body fat into buttocks.
Anesthesia
Like all kinds of surgery, BBL requires anesthesia. Depending on the case and the preference of the surgeon, BBL is done with either general anesthesia or local anesthesia combined with sedation.
Surgery
The Brazilian Butt Lift procedure can be examined in 3 stages. In the first stage, fat tissue is harvested from the donor regions, through liposuction. The donor regions are chosen depending on the patient’s fat distribution. The most popular donor regions are abdomen, waist, and the thighs. The second stage is the preparation of the harvested fat tissue. At this stage, the harvested fat tissue is purified and fortified for the transfer. Finally, the third stage is the re-injection of the fat. At this stage, the processed fat tissue is re-injected inside the buttocks, by distributing it carefully. The incisions made for harvesting and re-injection are very small. Our contracted surgeons are highly skilled and experienced in liposuction and BBL procedures.
Risks and Complications *1 *2 *3 *4
The safest gluteal augmentation procedure is fat grafting, which is the technique used in the BBL procedures. Overall complication rate was found to be 6.8%. With higher the volume of fat transfers, risks of infection at the grafting site and risk of seroma at the harvesting site has shown to increase, although with newer techniques the high-volume buttock fat transfer is safer than it used to be. The most common complications are seromas, pain, infection, and necrosis, in that order. The probable complications are: Contour irregularities Fat necrosis Infection Embolism Hematoma Pain Seroma Scar formation Wound dehiscence Paresthesia: burning or prickling sensation Before the BBL procedure, fat collection is made via liposuction, which although relatively uncommon and risk is lower compared with other procedures, has its own complications: Early complications: Contour deformity Skin depressions/elevations Edema Infection Seroma Hematoma Embolism Late complications: Edema Lymphedema Wound dehiscence Hypertrophic scar formation Ecchymosis Skin laxity

Frequently asked questions
How much fat is required?+
The objective of the Brazilian Butt Lift is to sculp the body as a whole. Consequently, the amount of fat that will be harvested depends on each patient’s particular case. Your surgeon will inform you during your consultation.
Why shouldn’t I directly sit after the procedure?+
Sufficient blood supply to the newly transplanted fat cells is crucial for their survival. Sitting directly on them can negatively affect the blood supply to the area.
Aren’t the compression garments harmful to the newly transplanted fat cells?+
Compression garments used for BBL procedures do not put too much pressure on the transplanted cells. They are prescribed for the regions treated with liposuction.
Is BBL painful?+
During the surgery you may experience pressure or other sensations, but you won’t feel pain. After the surgery, especially the first week, you will experience some pain but it can be controlled with pain medication.
Can I use another person’s fat?+
No. Another person’s fat would be rejected by your body. In BBL procedures, only the patient’s own fat can be used.
How long does the recovery take?+
After 1 week, you will start to feel much better. After 6-8 weeks, you will resume your regular activities. After a few months, most of the recovery will be completed.
What can I do if my body does not have enough extra fat tissue?+
You can have buttock implants for buttock augmentation or your surgeon may ask you to gain some weight before the procedure.
Am I a good candidate for BBL?+
