BBL (Brazillian Butt Lift) - Prof. Dr. İsmail Küçüker

Brazillian Butt Lift

Brazillian butt lift is a special fat transfer surgery that improves the size and contour of the hips without the need for hip implants. During the procedure, some of the fat obtained through liposuction from areas such as the hips, abdomen, waist, or thighs is injected into the hips.

By removing fat from the problematic areas of the patient, the proportions of the lower body are enhanced, and the hip area becomes more prominent.

Who Is Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) Surgery For?

Genetics play a significant role in determining a person's hip size and proportions; your skeletal shape and the amount of fat stored can influence how your lower body appears. While a good diet and regular exercise can help patients maintain a healthy body weight, many patients are still dissatisfied with having flat hips.

BBL surgery can help patients overcome genetic limitations.

What Are the Benefits of BBL?

- Enhances the lower body's contours.
- Reduces fat in the hip and abdominal areas, giving the hips a fuller appearance.
- Helps clothing fit more attractively on the body.
- Adds hip projection, providing a younger, more attractive appearance to those with flat hips.
- Helps rebalance the upper and lower body.

What Are the Differences Between BBL Surgery and Silicone Hip Implants?

One significant advantage of BBL surgery is that it enlarges the hips without the use of implants. BBL surgery is a procedure that provides clear results and a very natural appearance.

However, if a person is extremely thin and there is an insufficient amount of fat that can be taken from the body, silicone hip implants may be the only option to achieve the desired size increase. For some patients, silicone buttock augmentation may be a viable alternative, but it is crucial to be aware of the additional risks associated with implants (hip implants), such as capsular contracture and a higher risk of infection.

How Is Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) Performed?

BBL surgery consists of three essential steps:
1. Liposuction: The first step of BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) surgery involves obtaining fat from the hips, thighs, abdomen, or other areas. We prefer to use Vaser liposuction for fat removal. Vaser liposuction is a technique that uses sound waves to collect fat from the body without causing damage and transfers it to the necessary areas. It operates with minimal damage and maximum respect.
2. Purification of Removed Fat: The extracted fat is purified and prepared for transfer.
3. Buttock Fat Injection: The plastic surgeon uses "buttock fat injection" to give volume and shape to the buttocks, enlarge them, and increase their size.

Some of the provided fat will naturally dissipate and not all of it will remain in the provided area. Taking this natural dissipation into account, many surgeons inject slightly more fat than required.
