Brazilian Butt Lift

What is Brazilian Butt Lift surgery?

A Brazilian Butt Lift, often abbreviated to BBL, is a Body Aesthetic Surgery that is a variety of Butt Lift that aims to augment the butt using using fat grafting. Brazilian Butt Lift isn’t a traditional “lift” procedure like a Face Lift or Breast Lift despite its name. Fat Grafting involves taking the excess fat from other parts of the body, purifying it, and then injecting it into another part of the body, in this case the butt, therefore increasing the volume and fullness of the injected area. Therefore, Brazilian Butt Lift adds volume to and improves the shape of the butt.

Why is Brazilian Butt Lift performed?

Brazilian Butt Lift is mainly performed to increase the volume of the butt and to give a symmetrical, even, shape to the butt.

What are the conditions for Brazilian Butt Lift surgery?

Brazilian Butt Lift is one of the most accessible Plastic surgeries; it simply has a few conditions that needs to be fulfilled:

  • The patient should be eligible to undergo general anesthesia.
  • Patient’s BMI should be around 30 and there should be enough fat tissue to remove from the body.
  • Patients should be older than 18 as their body should be developed.

What Are The Things To Be Considered Before Brazilian Butt Lift?

Patients should:

  • Be at the hospital a day before their surgery for the pre operative tests to be performed.
  • Stop smoking and consuming alcohol at least 2 weeks before the surgery to alleviate the risk of a blood clot.
  • Avoid medication containing aspirin or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) for two weeks before and after surgery. These medications may increase the risk of internal bleeding. Patients should confirm each medication or supplement they wish to take with their Patient Coordinator.
  • Stop taking Multivitamin supplements 7 days prior to the surgery, and if it contains vitamin K should not be used for 30 days following the surgery.
  • Stop taking oral contraceptives 30 days before the surgery.

How is the Brazilian Butt Lift performed?

General Anesthesia is administered and then the surgeon makes small incisions in the area where the fat will be taken from. The fat cells are extracted from the donor area using a cannula and a syringe.

If needed, the extracted fat will be processed using a centrifuge or another filtration technique to isolate the fat cells. The fat cells are then transferred to smaller cannulas and prepared to be injected into the buttocks.

The Plastic Surgeon will inject the transferred fat multiple times until the desired results are achieved. Sometimes the newly grafted fat may be massaged into the designated area to create full, natural contours. Finally, a bandage is placed over the grafted area.

It may be necessary to undergo multiple fat grafting sessions to achieve the desired results since the body will absorb some of the injected fat. On average, patients retain between 60% - 80% of the transferred fat.

What are The Things To Be Considered After Brazilian Butt Lift?

The results of the surgery can be observed immediately after surgery and after the surgery, patients should take care to:

  • Sleep face down for at least a month.
  • Use the special garment that was provided after surgery and a pillow while sitting.
  • Patients should avoid strenuous physical activities and intense exercises such as aerobics and jogging up to 6 weeks following surgery.

Patients might experience swelling and bruising and it might take several weeks to months for swelling and bruising to disappear.

Potential risks associated with a Brazilian Butt Lift surgery may include:

Georgia Harley reviewed What an amazing experience

What an amazing experience. Like most, the idea of travelling to another country for a medical procedure was nerve wracking at first however, my amazing care co ordinator Sean was there every step of the way! I arrived on the 31st December and everything from my booking experience, hospital stay, pre op tests, gastric sleeve surgery , transport home and post op assistance has exceeded alp expectations. I am from the UK and all of the care far surpassed anything that I have recieved in the UK. Sean has also been there post me returning to the UK to check in and respond quickly to any post op questions that I have had. Would 100% reccomend

Had a bit of a mix up but this was easily fixed and my feedback taken onboard for future patients 😊 The hospital is immaculate with very friendly and caring staff. I was very well looked after before and after surgery. After surgery nurses would check on me every 1.5/2 hours and if I rang the bell they would come instantly. Translators were brilliant and the staff who didn’t speak much English was very good with google translate 😊 The care and the cleanliness at the hospital I went to Medistanbul was out of the world. Puts the UK hospitals to shame honestly! Had so many family & friends telling me don’t go abroad for surgery but it’s the best thing I ever done! My coordinator Rick Miller was so quick at responding, always kept me up to date and was very helpful throughout the whole process. My surgeon was Prof Dr Kagan Katar who was very professional, he came to see me before and after operation Also the transfer driver Orhan was amazing he was so helpful with our bags in the huge airport and sorted us out with wheelchairs Had a brilliant experience

customer reviewed Dr Ahmet - arm lift and Sr Emre - face, neck, eyes. First class

I had arm lift surgery with Dr Ahmet on 8 October 2024. David Turker was my co ordinator. From the collection at the airport to dropping be off ;I also had dental implant and my partner has a hair transplant) everything went smoothly. They’re organised and efficient. There are several interpreters and staff who work for Booking Surgery who are resident at different times in the ward of the hospitals. On 30/1/24 I returned to finish off my tooth implant and to have a deep plane facelift, a neck lift and upper eyelid blepharoplasty. Again everyone was fantastic. My only critique is the hospitals’ food, which, similar to UK is not great but I knew that prior to going and found out where the nearest shops were. I also ordered in pizza via the helpers and they got me stuff from the shop. They also got me a soft pillow as the pillow on my hospital bed the second time was like a boulder with wee pebbles in it LOL. But this is a minor thing and plenty of cheap pillows for sale nearby. I felt that my treatment in Istanbul was better than any I’d ever received in the UK and I’ve had over 5 operations in Scotland. The nurses in Turkey are so kind and compassionate. Any medication you need for any ancillary issues that arise is readily prescribed to you. The surgeons are lovely too and experienced and professional. I had Dr Emre Koçman for my face etc., ab older guy in his 60s with great experience. I’m not 10 days post op and pleased Ruth progress. I’m 65 and once healed I'm going to look 45. That wasn’t my aim but I’ll take it LOL ! Thank you booking surgery. You’re the best. Maxine
