Shaped & Curvy Hips with BBL - Safe Procedures at Hosfinder Clinic:

The appearance of the buttocks is a factor that significantly determines the overall aesthetic balance of the body in front, back and side profile. A small or sagging buttock can negatively affect body proportion. Some individuals, especially due to changes that occur with aging and decreased youthful skin, may turn to butt lift or augmentation procedures to achieve a fuller and lifted butt appearance. In recent years, interest in these aesthetic interventions has increased significantly.

The most popular procedure within buttock aesthetics (BBL Surgery) is the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), also known as butt lift surgery, which aims to create a fuller and more contoured appearance. In recent years, BBL has become one of the most commonly performed procedures in the field of buttock aesthetics, which includes several different techniques. During a BBL surgery, fat tissue is harvested from various parts of the body, primarily the waist and hip area, and then injected into the buttocks. This enhances the volume and shape of the buttocks, providing a more sculpted and lifted look.

Who Can Undergo Buttock Aesthetic Surgery (BBL)?

Buttock aesthetics (BBL surgery) helps correct sagging, asymmetry, and other shape irregularities that may occur with aging. Individuals who feel self-conscious about their buttock appearance, experience a lack of confidence, or struggle to wear desired clothing can enhance their quality of life with this procedure. Among various buttock enhancement techniques, BBL stands out as a safer option with a lower risk of infection compared to other lifting procedures.

Thanks to these advantages, BBL is a preferred choice for those considering buttock augmentation. Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a widely performed procedure that can be applied to most individuals. However, for the surgery to be successful and complication-free, candidates should meet certain criteria, including:

1. Having sufficient fat deposits in the buttocks and other body areas
2. Maintaining an ideal weight
3. Not smoking
4. Adopting a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise
5. Having no recent history of infections
6. No previous complications from surgical procedures

Since BBL is performed under anesthesia, a detailed medical evaluation by a doctor is necessary before the procedure. If no health issues or contraindications are present, the patient can proceed with the surgery at an appropriate time.

How Are Buttock Lifting and Augmentation Procedures (BBL Surgery) Performed?

Among various buttock enhancement procedures, the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is one of the most commonly performed surgeries. Most buttock aesthetic procedures, including BBL, are carried out under general anesthesia, ensuring that the patient remains unconscious and experiences no pain or discomfort during the operation. Once the procedure is completed, anesthesia is gradually reversed to wake the patient. However, for individuals requiring only a minor fat injection for enhancement, local anesthesia may be sufficient. With local anesthesia, the patient remains awake but does not feel any pain, similar to general anesthesia.  

The BBL procedure begins with harvesting fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks using liposuction. A small incision is made in the skin of the donor area, through which a thin tube-like instrument is inserted to extract fat cells. The collected fat is then purified and prepared for injection into the buttocks. To distribute the fat evenly, small incisions (typically three to five) are strategically made in the buttock area. Through these openings, the processed fat is injected into the designated regions to enhance volume and contour. Finally, the incisions in both the donor and recipient areas are sutured for proper healing.  

As a result of the procedure, the buttocks achieve a fuller, more contoured, and lifted appearance, enhancing overall body proportions.

How Is Buttock Reduction Surgery Performed?

If the buttocks are disproportionately large and cause discomfort both aesthetically and physically, liposuction is often the preferred method for reduction. Buttock reduction surgery is a relatively simple procedure and is commonly chosen by both men and women. Compared to other surgical procedures, the recovery period is shorter, making it a convenient option.  

In addition to reducing excess volume, fat removal can also help reshape and contour the buttocks for a more balanced appearance. During the procedure, any depressions or irregularities in the area can be corrected by processing and reinjecting the removed fat, ensuring a smoother and more symmetrical result. 

Is There an Age Limit for Buttock Aesthetics (BBL Surgery)?

As with any cosmetic procedure, buttock aesthetics are ideally performed once the body has fully developed. If there is a congenital shape or appearance irregularity, the procedure can be considered from the ages of 18-20. However, most patients seek buttock enhancement at a later age due to sagging, volume loss, or excess skin resulting from significant weight loss.

Can Men Also Undergo Buttock Aesthetics (BBL Surgery)?

Men can also opt for buttock aesthetic procedures. In recent years, more men have sought this surgery to enhance the shape of a flat or undefined buttock or to reduce its size. Although buttock aesthetics are more commonly preferred by women, the duration of the procedure varies depending on the chosen technique. Your doctor will provide a treatment timeline based on the specific procedure, but it is important to remember that recovery times vary from person to person and should be considered as an estimate.

When Does Buttock Aesthetic Surgery (BBL) Show Its Effects?

BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift), the most common type of buttock aesthetic surgery, provides an immediate increase in volume. However, due to post-surgical swelling and other temporary side effects, the final results become fully visible within a few months. During the first few weeks, patients should avoid sitting directly on their buttocks and should sleep on their sides or stomach. Sitting before the surgical areas heal may lead to complications and affect the success of the procedure.  

A portion of the fat injected during a BBL surgery may be naturally absorbed by the body, typically around 20-30%. In cases where excessive fat absorption occurs, additional BBL procedures may be needed for optimal results. As one of the least painful and most preferred methods for buttock enhancement and lifting, interest in BBL continues to grow.

What Makes Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) Different from Other Butt Augmentation Procedures?

• Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is one of the most popular buttock enhancement surgeries, but it is not the only option for achieving a fuller and more lifted appearance. Other butt augmentation procedures include:  
• Sculptra Butt Lift: Sculptra is a dermal filler used to restore lost volume in aging skin. When injected into the buttocks, it enhances volume and improves contour. In some cases, Sculptra Butt Lift can be combined with BBL for more effective results.  
• Silicone Butt Implants:Silicone implants are surgically placed in the buttocks to increase volume and enhance body contours. Compared to BBL, silicone implants are a more invasive procedure, requiring a larger surgical intervention. Over time, implants may shift, potentially requiring corrective surgery. In some cases, both BBL and silicone implants may be used together for optimal results.  
• Liposuction: When excess fat surrounds the buttocks, liposuction can be used to remove fat deposits, creating a rounder and more lifted appearance. Unlike BBL, liposuction does not involve reinjecting the removed fat into another area of the body.  

It is important to note that silicone or hydrogel injections should never be used for butt augmentation. These substances pose serious health risks and have been banned by international medical organizations.
