Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

What is Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?

Brazilian Butt Lift is a fat transfer procedure that harvests fat via liposuction from areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, then purifies and injects it into the buttocks to enhance shape and volume—providing natural, permanent results using your own tissue rather than implants.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: The no-sitting rule is crucial for fat survival. Invest in a quality BBL pillow and sleep on your stomach or side for 6-8 weeks. This single commitment dramatically affects your final results.

⚠️ Insider Note: Beware of prices that seem too low. Quality BBL requires experienced surgeons, proper equipment, and adequate operating time. Budget options may compromise safety protocols that have made modern BBL dramatically safer.

Cost of BBL in Turkey

Savings: Turkey offers 55-65% savings on BBL surgery compared to UK/USA prices.

Benefits

The Procedure

Step 1 – Liposuction: Fat harvested from abdomen, flanks, back, or thighs under general anesthesia.

Step 2 – Fat Processing: Harvested fat is purified and prepared—only healthy fat cells selected for transfer.

Step 3 – Strategic Injection: Fat placed in multiple layers using subcutaneous technique (above muscle) for optimal safety and survival.

Step 4 – Contouring: Final sculpting creates natural, proportional results tailored to your body frame.

Procedure time: 2-4 hours depending on volume.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a BBL last?

Once transferred fat establishes blood supply (about 3 months), results are permanent. Approximately 60-80% of transferred fat survives long-term. Weight fluctuations affect results like any body fat.

How much fat is needed for BBL?

Typically 800-1500cc of fat is injected per buttock. This requires harvesting approximately 3-4 liters of fat during liposuction from multiple donor areas.

When can I sit normally after BBL?

Most surgeons recommend avoiding direct sitting for 2-3 weeks, then using a BBL pillow for 4-6 weeks. By week 8, most patients resume normal sitting.

Will I need a touch-up procedure?

About 10-20% of patients opt for a second BBL to add more volume. This is usually done 6-12 months after the first procedure once final results are visible.

How do I maintain my BBL results?

Maintain a stable weight, follow a healthy diet, and exercise regularly. Significant weight loss will reduce buttock size, while weight gain may alter proportions.

Is BBL safe in Turkey?

Yes—Turkish clinics follow international safety protocols including subcutaneous-only fat placement and ultrasound guidance. The key is choosing accredited hospitals and board-certified surgeons.

What's the difference between BBL and buttock implants?

BBL uses your own fat (natural feel, dual benefit of liposuction). Implants are silicone (consistent volume, no fat required). BBL is generally preferred when adequate donor fat is available.

Can I fly home after BBL?

Most surgeons recommend staying 7-10 days before flying. Use a BBL pillow during the flight and take breaks to stand when possible.
