With surgeries to change the body contour in the butt and hip area to achieve an hourglass appearance, the concept of Brazilian butt has created a wide demand all over the world in recent years, and the concept called "Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)" (Brazilian butt surgery) has emerged.
In butt aesthetic surgery, patients generally request local surgery on the butt. The most common of these is the widespread enlargement of the butt. Other requests are to recover the sagging in the butt, to eliminate local depressions in the butt, or to eliminate the cellulite structure.
Brazilian But Lift Surgery
Following a detailed examination, appropriate measurements are taken, and an operation plan is made based on the patient's requests and examination findings. During this stage, the planned operation is thoroughly explained to the patient using markings, outlining which areas will undergo what types of procedures. Generally, for patients seeking buttock augmentation or addressing sagging, there are two main options available. The first involves buttock augmentation through fat injection, while the second utilizes implants (silicone) to enhance the buttocks. Traditional practices in buttock aesthetic surgeries focus on soft tissue and utilize the fat transfer method.
For patients planning buttock enlargement through fat injection, after harvesting fat from various parts of the body via liposuction, it is injected back into the desired areas of the buttocks using cannulas. This fat transfer procedure involves no incisions, thus carrying less risk compared to silicone implants. In cases where augmentation with implants is considered, appropriate-sized implants are placed into pockets prepared via an incision made near the tailbone area. Additionally, for patients with localized depressions or cellulite appearance, combining superficial liposuction with fat injection procedures can achieve the desired results.
After Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery
Silicone implants are generally not deeply placed into the tissue, reducing the risk of potential complications. However, after buttock aesthetic surgery, especially during the first 1-2 months, it is recommended to wear special protective garments and avoid strenuous exercises. The full recovery time for these procedures varies between 6-8 weeks. Contrary to common belief, buttock aesthetic surgery is not a procedure that typically involves severe pain. Additionally, post-operative pain relievers will significantly alleviate any discomfort. There are no restrictions on lying on your back or sitting after surgery. Patients staying overnight in the hospital are usually discharged the next day. You can shower from the fourth day onwards and comfortably return to social activities from the seventh day onwards.
