Buttock augmentation surgery is an aesthetic surgical procedure aimed at achieving fuller, rounder, and more aesthetically pleasing buttocks. This procedure, which has become one of the most preferred body contouring operations in recent years, is particularly applied to enhance the feminine appearance in the female silhouette and balance the waist-to-hip ratio.
With the most popular technique, the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), fat tissue taken from the patient’s own body is processed and injected into the buttocks. This procedure both slims down areas with excess fat and gives the buttocks a natural and voluminous form.
Buttock aesthetics covers the processes of enlarging, shaping, and lifting the buttocks. Various techniques can be used depending on the person’s body structure:
Fat Injection (BBL): Performed by injecting fat taken from unwanted areas of the body into the buttocks.
Silicone Implants: Silicone buttock implants are used in patients who don’t have sufficient fat tissue.
Combined Method: Special cases where fat injection and implants are used together.
The most natural and common method is BBL, as it uses the body’s own tissue and leaves no scars.
Those who think their buttocks are small, flat, or sagging
Those with an unbalanced waist-to-hip ratio
Those who want to increase buttock volume but demand a natural look
Those who have sufficient fat tissue in their body (for BBL)
Patients in good general health and with realistic expectations
Dr. Alper Eskalen evaluates the patient in detail before the operation:
Body analysis and fat distribution are measured.
The current shape, symmetry, and volume of the buttocks are evaluated.
Areas for fat removal are determined (such as abdomen, waist, back, and thighs).
Injection planning is done: details of how much volume will be given to which part of the buttocks.
Personalized planning is essential for successful and natural results.
It is performed under general anesthesia.
The surgery lasts an average of 2-3 hours.
Fat is removed from areas like the waist, abdomen, and back through liposuction.
The extracted fat is purified through special processes.
The prepared fat cells are injected into the deep tissue of the buttocks using a special technique.
Both buttocks are shaped to provide a symmetrical and natural appearance.
At the end of the procedure, a corset is applied, and the patient is mobilized shortly after.
Mild pain, swelling, and bruising may occur in the first few days.
It is recommended not to sit directly on the buttocks for the first 2-3 weeks.
Daily life is adapted with special sitting cushions and position changes.
Corset use is recommended for 4-6 weeks.
Return to daily life is possible within 5-7 days.
Exercise and heavy physical activities should be avoided for 1 month.
Approximately 60-80% of the injected fat becomes permanent; the remaining part is absorbed by the body.
Is the BBL procedure permanent?
Yes. A large portion of the fat cells are permanent. However, volume reduction may occur in cases like weight loss.
Why is sitting on the buttocks prohibited?
Pressure can damage the injected fat cells during the process of adhering to the tissue. Therefore, careful sitting is necessary in the first weeks.
Can BBL be done again?
Yes. A second session can be done if necessary. Additional volume may be needed depending on body shape.
Are silicone implants or BBL better?
BBL is preferred for natural results. However, if there isn’t enough fat tissue, silicone implants can be applied as an alternative.
BBL prices vary depending on the amount of fat to be removed, the number of areas for liposuction, the technique to be used, and hospital conditions. Dr. Alper Eskalen aims for natural and proportional results by planning based on a personalized body analysis for each patient.
