For fat injection to the buttocks, liposuction must first be performed. By performing liposuction on the entire body, both sufficient fat grafts are obtained and body shaping is performed. The fat grafts obtained also add volume to the buttocks and a more aesthetic appearance is achieved.

The buttock implant is placed between the buttock muscle like a sandwich, increasing the buttock volume and giving the buttocks a more aesthetic appearance.

Buttock implant and buttock fat injection methods can be applied separately or combined. Fat injection cannot be done at every point in the buttock. In particular, fat injection to the inner and lower parts where the veins are rich is risky in terms of fat embolism, which is a fatal complication. In such cases, volume increase is provided in the inner-lower part with buttock implant. The implant cannot be intervened on the sides of the buttock. Buttock shaping can be done in a combined way by fat injection to these areas.

Buttock implant and buttock fat injection surgeries are performed under general anesthesia. For the implant, a 5cm long incision is required inside the buttock groove. Since the incision remains inside the groove, the scar is not visible. Since fat injection is performed with the help of cannulas, small incisions are sufficient. Since these incisions are very small, they do not cause any aesthetic problems.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is a BBL surgery painful?

If fat injection has been made to the buttocks, it is not recommended to lie  down on your back for 6 weeks to increase the viability of the fat grafts. During this period, special sitting pillows should be used to sit. There is no problem in sitting or lying on your back after the buttock implant.

2. Are the results of a BBL surgery permanent?

It is recommended to wear a corset for 4 weeks after butt aesthetics. The corset speeds up recovery by limiting edema.

3. How soon can I return to daily activities after a BBL surgery?

Since the buttock implant is placed in the muscle, leg and hip movements are not recommended for 6 weeks. Heavy exercises should be avoided afterwards. After fat injection, sports are not recommended for 6 weeks in order to increase the viability of the fat grafts. There are no restrictions afterwards.
