What is BBL?

BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) is an aesthetic procedure in which fat is first harvested from specific areas of the body, processed using a special technique, and then injected into the buttock area. The aim is to refine the contour of the donor area while creating a fuller, balanced appearance in the buttocks.

Op. Dr. Emre Yılmazer's approach to BBL is understated, harmonious with your body proportions, and focused on natural results. The volume to be transferred is planned individually based on your existing fat reserves and target anatomy.

Patient Profile

Who is it Suitable For?

BBL is a personalized procedure. A consultation may be planned in the following situations.

  • Those who wish to achieve a more balanced hip-to-waist ratio
  • Patients with usable fat reserves in areas such as the waist, back, or abdomen
  • People who experience a lack of fullness or asymmetry in the buttock area
  • Individuals with adequate skin elasticity who have quit smoking or have it under control
  • Adults with realistic expectations who can adapt to the recovery period
  • Patients whose general health status is suitable for surgery

Important note: Every patient comes with a different anatomy, skin structure, and set of expectations. The procedure to be performed, the technique to be applied, and the results can only be clarified after an in-person medical evaluation.

Recovery Process

The timeline below is a general guide. Recovery time may vary depending on the individual, tissue structure, and the technique applied. Regular follow-up checks are carried out throughout the entire process.

First 24 Hours
Hospital Observation
A compression garment is applied. To protect the transferred fat, lying directly on the buttocks is not recommended.
Weeks 1 – 2
No-Sitting Period
During the first weeks, sitting on the buttocks for prolonged periods is not recommended; a special BBL pillow may be used.
Weeks 3 – 4
Return to Social Life
The compression garment continues to be worn. A return to daily routine at a moderate pace begins; prolonged sitting is gradually reintroduced.
Months 1 – 3
Contour Becomes Defined
Some of the transferred fat is naturally absorbed during the healing process; the remaining fat becomes permanent.
Month 6
Final Result Becomes Clear
Tissue swelling subsides and the result becomes clear; the remaining fat cells settle in permanently.
