What is Brazilian Butt Lift?

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

Butt fat injection is the process of purifying fat tissues taken from one's own body and transferring them to the buttocks. This aesthetic procedure, also known as BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift), is preferred by those who want to achieve natural-looking results. This method helps people increase their self-confidence by offering a permanent and safe solution.

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) Surgery

Buttock fat injection (BBL) surgery is a modern aesthetic procedure in which fat cells collected from various parts of the body are purified and transferred to the buttock area. During this procedure, the surgeon first collects fat tissues from areas such as the abdomen, waist and thighs by liposuction. After the collected fat is purified with special methods, it is injected into different layers of the buttocks.

The main stages of the procedure:

  • Body fat harvesting (liposuction)
  • Purification of collected oils
  • Injection of purified fat into the buttock area
  • Shaping and contouring process

Advantages of the procedure:

  • Natural-looking results
  • Hourglass appearance is achieved
  • Providing a permanent solution
  • Utilization of the body's own fat tissues
  • Shaping two different regions at the same time

For buttock shaping, it is recommended that patients with a weak build who do not have enough adipose tissue gain a sufficient amount of weight before the surgery. If the patient is not successful in this regard or is reluctant, he/she should be directed to butt implant surgery.

⇧ Is BBL Surgery Safe?

The answer to this question is very closely related to which layer and with which cannulas the injection was made. As a result of the autopsies performed in patients who died after BBL surgery, it was determined that the injections were made intramuscularly in all patients. In some of these cases, the physician claimed that the injections were given intramuscularly. This means that the injections were made intramuscularly without realizing it or by mistake. Intramuscular fat injections increase the risk of fat embolism (a complication that occurs when fat mixes with the blood and blocks the vessels supplying the lungs and can result in death). To return to the answer of the question, we can say that intramuscular/subcutaneous injections and the use of thick cannulas during injection are safe.

⇧ Why Choose BBL?

Butt aesthetics is a very important element in female beauty. Achieving an hourglass appearance is the dream of many women. For this purpose, they can resort to many methods such as sports, diet and device assistance. BBL is preferred by many people to improve body contours and achieve a more aesthetic appearance. This method has rapidly gained popularity in recent years and very satisfactory results have been obtained, as it includes the growth and shaping of the buttocks at the same time as thinning in the waist and hips. Satisfaction rates are quite high. Since it uses the person's own body tissues, it offers a natural and safe option. It is especially preferred by people who are not satisfied with the fullness of the hip area or who want to balance their body proportions.

Reasons for preference:

  • Achieving natural-looking results
  • No use of foreign matter
  • Shaping of three areas at the same time (waist, hips, buttocks)
  • Providing lasting results

Benefits of the method:

  • Balancing body proportions
  • Increased self-confidence
  • Better fit of clothes
  • Opportunity to get rid of unwanted fat
  • Minimal scarring

⇧ How Does BBL Surgery Work?

The BBL process requires detailed planning and meticulous execution. Before the procedure, a comprehensive health assessment is performed and the patient's expectations are evaluated. The operation is performed under general anesthesia and takes 2-3 hours on average. Necessary tests are performed before the procedure and the patient's health status is examined in detail.

Stages of the operation process:

  • Detailed health assessment
  • Anesthesia application
  • Marking the areas where fat will be taken
  • Fat harvesting with liposuction
  • Purification of collected oils
  • Injection process

Considerations during the procedure:

  • Ensuring sterile conditions
  • Appropriate amount of fat transfer
  • Symmetrical application
  • Protection of vessels and nerves
  • Smooth contouring

⇧ What is the Recovery Process After Buttock Fat Injection?

The healing process of buttock fat injection takes an average of 2-3 weeks, although it varies from person to person. It may be necessary to stay under observation in the hospital for the first 24-48 hours. It is normal to experience edema and bruising after the procedure. Patients can usually return to their daily activities within 1-2 weeks, but a period of 6-8 weeks is required for full recovery.

Stages in the recovery process:

  • Intensive rest for the first 48 hours
  • Week 1 reduction of edema and bruising
