BBL aesthetics, also known as Brazilian Butt Lift, is an extremely common procedure. Although the concept of beauty varies from person to person, the fact that the hip area is prominent, tight and full can be considered among the basic elements that make women look attractive. The reason for this is that the general appearance of women is more aesthetic when the hip, chest, and waist grooves are compatible. Many people are of the opinion that femininity and feminine features come to the fore when the hip area is fuller and raised.
Within this understanding, women who are uncomfortable with gaining weight from the butt area and whether the butt is small, large or wide apply to aesthetic procedures in order to have an upright, lively, round and cellulite-free buttock. BBL aesthetics, which has come to the fore recently, is one of the most frequently preferred procedures by women in this regard.

How is Brazilian Hip Aesthetics Performed?
BBL aesthetics is the procedure of removing the fat that occurs in various parts of women’s bodies by liposuction and shaping the buttock by using the taken fat in fat injection. It is considered an advantageous procedure since the patient’s body fat is used while shaping the buttock. Thanks to the fat taken from the right points on the body, the person gets a more shaped body, and a more rounded and fuller hip contour can be created with fat injection.
The way the BBL aesthetic is applied allows the lower part of the person’s body to achieve the desired fuller appearance. Also, it is possible to get rid of excess fat in the abdomen or in different regions. Thus, a more proportional and aesthetic appearance can be achieved between the lower and upper body of the person.
Who is Suitable for Brazilian Butt Aesthetics?
Brazilian butt lift is generally applied in order to give a more aesthetic appearance to people whose butt is not as flat and raised as desired, whose waist and butt transition is uncertain due to fat in the waist area, and who have flattening, ejaculation or falling on their buttocks after bariatric surgery. In some people, the angle of the butt to the waist may be very wide due to the genetic structure. In this case, when viewed from the side, the butt does not appear prominent and protruding. BBL aesthetics is an effective solution for people who are uncomfortable with such situations.
Extremely effective results can be obtained with BBL aesthetics in people with small and flat hips. BBL aesthetics can be performed for both men and women. Buttock augmentation is a procedure that is frequently applied because it is provided with the person’s own fat and no implants are used. However, the important point is whether there is enough fat in the body of the patient who will undergo BBL aesthetics to enable this procedure to be performed. In addition, skin elasticity should be sufficient. It is not preferred to apply BBL aesthetics to patients with intense butt sagging.
How is Brazilian Hip Performed?
Brazilian butt lift is performed in three basic steps. The first step of the procedure is that the required amount of fat is taken from the waist, back, abdomen, legs, or another determined area of the person’s body. Fats are purified by processing and made ready for oil injection. After this procedure, the injection points are determined according to the anatomical structure of the person. Fat injection is done to get the most aesthetic result.
Some of the injected fats can be absorbed by the body. If necessary, it may be possible to re-inject the fat into the designated areas within a few weeks after the fat injection. Thus, it is aimed to make the fat transfer process permanent and to achieve the desired body shape.

Healing Process After BBL
Since it is a procedure performed under anesthesia, the patient does not feel any pain during BBL aesthetics. During the first 2 weeks after the surgery, the patient should avoid sitting directly on their hip and should be careful not to lie on their back. During this period, in order to increase the permanence and effect of the operation result, it should be preferred to lie on your side, stand up and not put pressure on the hip.
Care must be taken at certain points in order to experience a fast and healthy recovery process after Brazilian butt lift surgery. At this stage, the patient should regularly take the drugs prescribed to them. Although edema and bruising may occur in the application area, it will recover spontaneously in a short time. In order for the healing to take place and to preserve the obtained result, pressure should be avoided on the areas where fat injection is made. This point is also very important in terms of increasing the adhesion rate of the injected fats to the body.
A corset should be used for about 8 weeks in order to reduce the aesthetics in the application area and to gain the new shape of the butt. Thus, both edema is reduced and the skin is recovered more easily. After the surgery, a certain period of time should be waited for the body to gain the desired form. During this period, the patient should rest enough and avoid activities that may cause strain. In addition, movements such as stretching and squatting should be avoided.
Although it may vary by person depending on the characteristics and recovery speed, patients can return to their normal activities within an average of 6 to 8 weeks after the operation. Before starting heavy sports activities, it should not be neglected to obtain the approval of the doctor for the patient.
