BBL / Buttock Augmentation (Brazilian Butt Lift)

BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) is both an aesthetic and functional body contouring operation based on the principle of re-injecting fat, taken from areas of the body with excess fat, into the buttocks using special techniques. Since it is performed without using silicone implants, the result is natural, soft, and harmonious with the body.

An Artistic Contouring that Redefines the Body’s Natural Proportions

This procedure aims not only to enlarge the buttocks but also to balance all body proportions by removing excess fat from the waist, abdomen, back, and thigh areas. The result is an elegant “S-silhouette” appearance with a slim waistline and full buttocks.

BBL operations performed at ClinicHaus are applied using Vaser Hi-Def Liposuction technology. Thanks to this method, fat tissue is removed without damaging surrounding tissues; the obtained cells maintain their vitality and are transformed into healthy fat grafts that ensure a high retention rate.

Who is it Suitable For?

BBL is an ideal option for patients who want to shape their buttock form without losing its naturalness. People with the following characteristics are suitable candidates for this operation: · Those with a lack of volume, a flat, or a drooping appearance in the buttock area · Those with excess fat accumulation around the waist and back · Those who want to improve their lower body proportions (waist–hip balance) · Those looking for a natural, implant-free, long-lasting result · People whose skin elasticity and general health condition are suitable for surgery

How is BBL Performed?

The BBL operation is a two-stage procedure:

1. Fat Harvesting (Vaser Liposuction)

2. Fat Injection (Buttock Shaping)

1. Fat Harvesting Stage Fat is taken from areas of the body with excess fat: · Abdomen · Waist and back · Thighs (inner or outer) · Arms, if necessary

At ClinicHaus, this procedure is performed using Vaser Liposuction technology. Using ultrasonic energy, fat cells are selectively liquefied and suctioned out without damaging the surrounding muscle, vessel, and nerve tissues.

This way, the obtained fat cells remain viable and have a high retention rate when transferred to the buttocks.

The removed fats are purified by passing them through a special filtration and centrifugation system. At this stage, dead cells, blood, and fluid residues are completely separated. Only living and healthy fat cells are used for injection.

2. Fat Injection and Shaping The purified fat is injected in layers into the buttocks with micro-cannulas, in accordance with the anatomical structure of the buttocks. Surgeons perform a proportional analysis for each patient and plan the fat distribution individually: · A lifting effect is created by adding volume to the upper buttock area. · A round form is achieved by giving fullness to the central buttock part. · Natural transitions are provided by softening the lower borders.

In this way, both volume and contour are arranged; the waist indentation becomes prominent, and the buttock projection increases.

Anesthesia: General Duration: Average 2–3 hours Discharge: Same day or the next day

Recovery Process After BBL

The post-BBL process is comfortable; patients can generally return to their daily lives within 3–7 days.

The recovery protocol proceeds as follows: · First 48 hours: Mild edema and tightness are normal. Lying on the back is recommended; direct pressure on the buttocks is not applied. · 1st week: Medical corset wear is continued 24/7; light walking can be done. · 2nd–3rd week: Edema starts to decrease; sitting time should be kept short. · 4th–6th week: Tissues adapt to the new form; corset use is reduced. · 2nd–3rd month: The volume in the buttocks becomes stable, fat cells are fully integrated.

At ClinicHaus, a personal care protocol is prepared for each patient. This protocol includes lymphatic massage recommendations that speed up recovery, sitting pillows, and nutrition plans.

Permanence After BBL

Approximately 60–80% of the injected fat cells permanently integrate into the tissues. The remaining part is naturally absorbed by the body. To preserve the result for a long time, it is recommended to: · Maintain an ideal weight, · Do light exercises that increase tissue circulation, · Consume enough water, · Avoid excessive weight loss or gain.

Advantages of BBL / Buttock Augmentation

· Natural look and feel: Since the patient’s own fat tissue is used, the result is completely natural. · Dual effect: While the areas where fat was removed are slimmed, the buttocks become fuller; body proportionality is restored. · Silicone-free: Biocompatibility is high, there is no risk of allergy. · Permanent results: The retained fat cells maintain their volume for many years. · Smooth skin: The skin surface becomes smooth thanks to Vaser technology. · Short recovery: Most patients return to their active lives within a few days. · Minimal scarring: Liposuction entry points are microscopic, the scar is not noticeable.

Combined Procedures

At ClinicHaus, BBL is frequently combined with other body contouring operations: · Waist and abdomen Vaser Liposuction: Emphasizing the “Hourglass” form · Breast aesthetics or tummy tuck (Mommy Makeover) · Thigh lift: Completing the lower body balance · Body tightening applications: Laser, Radiofrequency, or Morpheus 8

Each combination is planned according to the patient’s tissue quality and health condition; the goal is a safe and proportional result.

Possible Risks and Clinical Precautions

BBL is a safe procedure when applied with the correct technique. At ClinicHaus, advanced surgical standards are applied at every stage for patient safety: · Ultrasonic fat separation (Vaser) with low trauma · Controlled injection using micro-cannulas · Application of fat only to the subcutaneous and supra-muscular plane · Vital monitoring accompanied by an anesthesiologist throughout the operation · Sterile, positive-pressure operating room environment

Possible complications (swelling, bruising, asymmetry, temporary numbness) are generally mild and temporary. The recovery process is supported by comprehensive control and regular follow-ups.

Short Questions and Answers About BBL

Is the BBL surgery painful? Mild tightness may be felt in the first few days, but it is comfortably controlled with prescription painkillers. How much fat becomes permanent? Generally, 60–80% of the fat cells are permanently retained. When is the result seen? There is a noticeable difference in the first week; the permanent shape settles in 2–3 months. Will there be scars? No. The liposuction entries are millimetric and disappear within a few weeks. When is sitting allowed? It is recommended not to sit directly for the first 2–3 weeks. Special BBL pillows can be used. Will the result be lost if I lose weight? Excessive weight loss can reduce fat volume. However, the result is permanent at a stable weight.
