What is the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?
The Brazilian Butt Lift or BBL is an invasive fat transfer procedure that augments the butt without the implants.
The fat is removed from the upper and lower abdomen, belly, back, inner and outer thighs, arms, love handles and other parts of the body by the liposuction, and after collecting fat it can be processed and injected into the buttocks.
Brazilian butt lift (buttock lipo filling) increases the volume of the buttocks to improve the result of the upper buttock lift. Our doctors will inject fat from liposuction into the buttocks to add volume and shape to the buttocks.
In combination with complex liposuction, lipo filling of the buttocks allows the formation of harmonious curves of the body; by the BBL procedure, patients can get an hourglass body shape.
Lipofilling can also be performed without a buttock lift if you want to improve your figure and avoid scarring.
The Brazilian Butt Lifting procedure is generally performed under general anesthesia and lasts 1 to 2 hours, depending on the desired volume increase. The operation mostly is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.
Depending on your specific circumstances, you may be discharged from the hospital on the day of your surgery or 24 hours after your surgery.
Who is Suitable for BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift)?
Buttocks size is improved with Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) . This process is not suitable for some people. The Brazilian Butt Lift is different from a classical lifting operation. There are different aesthetic options for people who want a lifting-like operation to the buttocks area.

- The patients who have serious diseases.
- The patients who have infections.
- The patients who smoke also should avoid smoking a minimum of two weeks prior to the surgery.
Why is Brazilian Butt Lift Done?
The body structure and body size of people are generally determined by genetics. People who eat healthy and do sports regularly have healthy body weights, which also creates the size of their muscle mass.
For all these reasons, even if the person is healthy and fit, the buttocks area can have a flat appearance and not a beautiful appearance, and the person feels uncomfortable.
With the Brazilian Butt Lift, the buttocks area of the person is reshaped. After the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure, the following positive changes are seen in the person;
- Improvement of the folds in the lower half of the person’s body,
- Decrease in the amount of fat in the buttocks, thigh and waist region,
- A younger and more aesthetic appearance on the buttocks,
- The proportion of the person’s upper body and lower body size gains a smoother appearance.
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) Preparation Process
The stages before Brazilian Butt Lift surgery are planned to cover all the details, the wishes of the person are included in the operation process. In order to have the desired appearance, the patient first chooses the doctor.
Aesthetic surgical techniques are very developed in Turkey and after you decide to have surgery, you can have Brazilian Butt Lift surgery with confidence and carefree.
The first stage is the process of performing an examination for the operation. The doctor evaluates the wishes of the person and other factors during the examination.
After the examination process, blood values are measured, imaging techniques are used, and possible complications are investigated. The more efficient the inspection process, the more successful the operation and the result of the operation process.
Preoperative blood tests are requested to help determine the factors that may cause problems during the operation. With the blood and urine tests performed before the surgery, it is evaluated whether there are signs of conditions such as diabetes and blood coagulation.
If the person is suitable for surgery, there should be no evidence of the disease as a result of the tests. Imaging techniques are very important. Imaging techniques are used for the aesthetic evaluation of the patient and for a detailed examination of the anatomy of the buttocks region. As a result, the planning of the operation to be carried out is made in detail.
Before Brazilian Butt Lift surgery, it is very important whether the person has received any treatment before and whether he has a chronic disease.
It is investigated whether the patient has diseases such as blood coagulation, blood pressure disease and diabetes, and findings regarding this are sought. All these will positively affect the outcome of the surgery.
How is Brazilian Butt Lift Done?
The BBL procedure is ideal for reshaping and enhancing the buttocks size and volume with a liposuction procedure.
The Brazilian Butt Lifting procedure can be combined with the traditional liposuction, laser or Vaser liposuction procedures. The fat that can be transferred to the buttocks areas to perform the BBL procedure is the product of the liposuction techniques.
Our doctors prefer to use vaser liposuction to perform the BBL procedure depending on the patient’s expectation.
While meeting the doctor, the patient and doctor decide together about the liposuction techniques and the areas for liposuction.
We Can Divide the BBL Into Four Steps;
- In the first step, our doctors remove the fat deposits from the areas that they determined before the surgery
- The fat which has been removed from the body will be purified and prepared for the transfer.
- As a third step, the doctor injects the prepared fat into the buttocks to enlarge the butt volume and improve the round shape for the buttocks.
- After the procedure is completed, the doctor is closing up the liposuction and BBL incisions with the stitches. Then our doctors apply the compression garment to prevent the bleeding risks.
The skin incision is made in the transitional fold from the buttocks to the lumbar region. It is in this part of the body that the scar will be barely noticeable in the future.
Excess skin is excised and the entire wound is sutured with intradermal cosmetic sutures. In the future, such a scar is practically not noticeable, especially if in the early postoperative period you properly care for the scar and use special anti-scar agents.
When performing this procedure, the muscles of the buttocks are not affected and the function of the gluteal muscles is not affected in any way.
The operation is performed under general anesthesia and requires preliminary preoperative preparation. It is necessary to pass all the tests according to the list that we give you and later you will be examined by the anesthesiologist of our clinic.
Before the Brazilian Butt Lift

The patients who will have Brazilian Butt Lift procedure should be healthy and should have enough fat for the procedure. Patients are not allowed to consume cigarettes and alcohol.
Nicotine can decrease the blood flow and slow the healing process, as a result of this patient may have a bad scar. It is very important to inform your doctor and be honest about your smoking status.
Recovery After the Brazilian Butt Lift

Sleep on your stomach for at least a month after surgery, find creative ways to avoid sleeping on your buttocks.
- After your surgery, your surgeon will provide you with pressure garments that you will use to support your waist and buttocks during your recovery. This compression garment helps to keep the transplanted fat in place. The main purpose of this compression garment is to strategically reduce swelling while helping to adapt to post-liposuction modeling. Wearing a compression garment is one of the musts, the patient should wear the compression garments for 24 hours after the surgery for four to six weeks depending on the doctor’s requirements, they can remove the compression garment only while they need to have a shower.
- Also, it is very important to get good sleep and to stay hydrated for enhancing the healing process. Drink plenty of fluids that contain electrolytes, salts and minerals to help your body recover faster.
- There is a chance that blood-stained fluid can flow out from incisions where fat was removed during the procedure, this should not be a problem as it will stop almost 24 hours after surgery.
- There is usually some form of swelling or asymmetry in the buttocks after the procedure, this should not be a cause for concern because after the procedure some of the injected fats are eventually digested as normal fat calories and the remaining fat is digested.
- Walking lightly twice a day can help improve circulation throughout the body, including the buttocks, reduce swelling, and help heal it. Over time, you will be able to gradually increase your distance and pace and reap the health benefits of walking.
