The definition of an ideal and beautiful buttock is different according to societies, cultures and time. Today, buttock aesthetics has become one of the most current issues with the effect of communication tools. Although the definition of the ideal buttock varies between cultures, the buttock shape that protrudes towards the back, has rounded lines, does not protrude to the sides, and has a short upper and lower distance is the generally accepted ideal buttock type.
The buttock is an area with dense muscle tissue. Therefore, if a person is not happy about the way of her/his buttocks look, first she/he should try to shape them by losing weight and regular exercise. If the desired appearance cannot be achieved despite this, buttock aesthetics can be an option.
In addition to some structural problems such as congenital hips being small and asymmetrical, buttock aesthetic may be needed due to reasons such as excessive weight gain and loss, age-related tissue weakness. Tissue loss and sagging problems that develop over time in the buttocks can be defined in two ways. In the first group, there is enough tissue, but the buttocks sag downwards. In the second group, there is a lack of buttock tissue.
There are many different methods used for buttock aesthetics. An operation suitable for your physical characteristics and expectations is selected. While planning for the surgery, both the volume of your buttock tissues and the compatibility of the buttoks with the hip area is taken into consideration. With all these applications, it is aimed to have an aesthetic appearance that is proportional to your body and that you will have tight hips that attract attention.
If the buttokcs are aimed to be large and upright, liposuction, fat injection, implant insertion, suspension or stretching techniques are used to remove the excess skin. For those with small hips, implants are inserted for a fuller appearance. For hips that requires less volume, injection of fat from the area with high fat content into the buttocks or the use of tissue fillers is a solution. For large buttocks, excess fat is removed by liposuction, and if there is excess skin, stretching techniques can be applied.

The fat to be injected in buttock aesthetics is most commonly taken from the lower abdomen, both sides of the abdomen and inner thigh.
The risks associated with buttock aesthetics are not different from the risks associated with other surgical procedures. If only the implant is placed, problems such as the implant being visible from the buttock edges due to severe trauma and some displacement may be seen.
There may be non-severe pain in the first few days after buttock aesthetics. This condition is easily treated with painkillers.
In buttock aesthetics, there may rarely be loss of sensation or change in sensation on the skin. The sensation usually returns to normal within a few months.
When the fat is prepared and injected directly, 60% of it is permanent, and when it is prepared and injected as stem cells, 75% of it is permanent. Therefore, the procedure can be repeated in a few years if desired.
Fat injection can be repeated in those who want the hips to have a fuller or larger appearance again.
There is no need for a long waiting period for fat re-injection. However, since the final appearance of the buttocks will be 3-6 months later, it is recommended to wait for 3-6 months when making this decision.
Procedures applied with various energy modulators to give fullness and shape to the buttocks without anaesthesia or incision are called ‘non-surgical buttock lift’. Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is one of these nonsurgical buttock lift procedures
Pain after BBL is minimal and can be easily controlled with painkillers
BBL (Brazilian butt lift) is a special fat injection procedure that increases the size and improves the shape of the buttocks without a buttock implant. With liposuction, excess fat is removed from the abdomen, hips, waist and thighs. Some of this fat is injected into the buttocks.
If an implant-free buttock augmentation procedure is desired,
If there is no excessive sagging of the buttocks,
If there is enough fat in the abdomen, waist and thighs to inject into the buttocks
You can have a BBL (Brazilian butt lift).
From the age of 18, BBL can be performed. However, since deformation usually occurs at older ages, patients apply at older ages.
If the desired amount of fat for fat injection cannot be obtained by liposuction from a part of the body, Skinny BBL is applied. Fat is collected from everywhere with liposuction and injected into the buttocks.
The first 3 days after BBL, you can not lay on your back and you can not take a shower. During the first month after BBL, only walking is allowed as exercise.
BBL is a fat injection method. Therefore, it leaves absolutely no scars.
Depending on the preparation method, 60-75% of the injected fat is permanent. Therefore, BBL can be repeated if the patient wishes to replace the reduced fat.
Compared to the implant procedure, the risks are very low. Rarely,
Infection,
Lumps under the skin in the fat injected area,
Fat embolism may occur
A second operation can be a possibility.
In the early postoperative period, it is important to use a corset to reduce swelling and shape the hip. It is recommended to use a corset continuously for the first 3 weeks, then for 12 hours a day for a total of 8 weeks. In the long term, you can maintain your appearance for a very long time by keeping your weight stable and exercising regularly.
Constipation after BBL should be prevented. The most important cause of constipation after BBL is stress, limitation of movements, travelling, weather and food changes depending on the country you are visiting. In order to minimise the risk of constipation, it is recommended to eat foods that will leave pulp, fibre foods, legumes, vegetables such as carrots, cauliflower, broccoli and soups; increase fruit consumption; consume apples between meals; consume plenty of water; avoid smoking and alcohol, and take regular walks as early as possible.
BBL takes approximately 3 – 4 hours.
Only walking is recommended for the first month. Heavy sports should be avoided during this period. Sports can be started gradually after the 4th week.
The most ideal buttock filler is autologous fat.
Compared to the implant procedure, the risks of buttock lift surgery are very low and rarely develop.
Since buttock implants are placed under the muscle, they are not visible from the outside. However, if you are very thin, it may rarely be visible because you do not have enough fat tissue.
A small portion of the transferred fat can be absorbed by the body. Therefore, some volume loss may occur. In such cases, repetition of fat injection solves the problem. Implants do not lose volume. If you do not gain or lose excessive weight, the results of the buttock implants are permanent.
Fat injection is widely used to enlarge and shape the buttocks as it is a natural method and does not require surgical incision. However, when larger buttocks are desired, it would be more accurate and safer to use implants.
Fat tissues increase blood circulation and accelerate metabolism in the areas where they are transferred. In addition, they also provide anti-ageing effect with stem cell effect. Therefore, fat injection is effective against sagging and cellulite in the buttocks.
All procedures applied to women in buttock aesthetics can also be applied to men. Especially men with narrow hips may prefer buttock augmentation.
