Quote of Dr. Tolga Temel
Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery (BBL)
A Brazilian Butt Lift is among the most popular cosmetic operations, aimed at improving the look and shape of the buttocks. In this procedure, both liposuction and fat transfer techniques are combined. Originating in Brazil, it has gained popularity worldwide because this kind of procedure creates a more rounded, well-contoured look and fuller buttocks.
A Brazilian Butt Lift works to develop a natural, visually pleasing shape by transferring fat from other parts of the body, like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, to the buttocks. The result is an increase in curvature and prominence of the buttock profile, proportionally relating to the remainder of the body.
What is BBL Surgery?
Brazillian Butt Lift Surgery is a minimally invasive procedure for enlargement and shaping of the contours of the buttocks. The procedure will entail liposuction of fat from certain parts of the body, generally from the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. After processing, this fat is injected into the buttocks to add fullness and give it a sculpted look.
BBL surgery is tailored to each patient's anatomy and preferences. The surgery should provide a well-rounded enhancement of the buttocks that has a natural appearance, relative to the general body habitus of the person. Among people searching for refinement of contour with no implants, it constitutes one of the most sought-after operations.
How Long Does BBL Surgery Take?
Generally, a BBL surgical procedure takes up to 2 to 4 hours. Sometimes, it could be longer than that, depending on how complex the procedure is that is to be carried out, areas where fat is to be harvested, and also the expertise of the surgeon.
After surgery, patients are likely to spend a few days recovering either in a medical facility or at home. Most are able to return to their regular activities within one or two weeks, while full recovery can take months. It is in this period that post-operative care should be observed to prevent complications and for the best results.
What Are the Risks of BBL Surgery?
Similar to any other surgical intervention, BBL is not completely free of risks. Possible complications coming along include infection, fat embolism, bleeding, and delayed healing. The most dangerous one is fat embolism, as its particles reach the bloodstream and further on may lead to severe health concerns.
What is the Recovery Process After BBL Surgery?
Recovery after BBL usually occurs in phases. It is expected that the first few days following the surgery will involve swelling, bruising, and general discomfort to the treated areas and buttocks. Pain management is generally controlled with medication and cold compresses.
It is generally not advisable to sit or lie on the buttocks exactly, in the post-operative period, for a few weeks. Employment of special cushions and position adjustment assists in neutralizing the pressure that comes on to the sited region. Generally, after a few weeks light activities and exercises could be resumed.
Lifestyles after BBL Surgery
In terms of post-surgical changes to lifestyle, the following will be of great significance in maintaining a BBL and promoting the recovery process. Patients should avoid activities that involve pressure on the buttocks and maintain a proper diet for general wellness.
It is also worth adhering to recommendations given by the surgeon about physical activity and follow-up care. Regular follow-up visits and communication with the doctor will help make sure that recovery proceeds as expected and that the desired results are long-lasting.

Individuals dissatisfied with their buttock appearance, aspiring for a more rounded, lifted, and contoured look, often turn to a Brazilian Butt Lift. It proves beneficial for those with naturally flat or sagging buttocks, asymmetry, significant weight loss resulting in a flattened appearance, and individuals desiring a more youthful or enhanced overall body shape.
Typically, the procedure spans a duration of 2-4 hours.
Administered under general anesthesia, or in cases of smaller targeted areas, local anesthesia with sedation, the surgeon marks the areas for fat extraction and injection before commencing liposuction. Extracted fat undergoes a purification process, and the surgeon meticulously injects it into the buttock tissue to achieve optimal contours.
Post-procedure, patients may experience swelling, pain, discomfort, and bruising. Advised to refrain from sitting directly on the buttocks to facilitate healing, prescribed pain medication and compression garments aid in managing discomfort and reducing swelling. Final results become evident over several months.
Typically lasting five years or more with proper maintenance and adherence to postoperative care guidelines, stability in weight plays a pivotal role in prolonging results.
You will have very small scars, on your lower back in the Venus dimples and under the creases of your butt cheeks. The scars are barely visible and easily hidden.
Immediate Post-Operative Period (First Week): During the first week after the BBL, patients are advised to avoid sitting directly on their buttocks to protect the newly transferred fat cells. Instead, they may use a special pillow or cushion when sitting. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common during this period. 2-3 Weeks: Patients are often advised to continue avoiding prolonged sitting and to sleep on their stomach or sides. Compression garments may be recommended to help minimize swelling and support the healing process. 4-6 Weeks: Most individuals can gradually resume light activities but should still avoid putting direct pressure on the buttocks. Exercise or strenuous physical activity may need to be limited during this period. 6 Weeks and Beyond: By six weeks post-surgery, many patients can gradually return to their normal activities, including sitting more comfortably. However, it's essential to follow the specific post-operative instructions provided by the surgeon. It's important to know that your body is unique, so recovery times may vary.
