A BBL involves removing excess fat from the body with VASER liposuction and injecting the purified fat into the buttocks using a special technique. It slims the waist and enlarges the buttocks at the same time.
The main advantage of a BBL is that it creates fuller buttocks with your own fat, without silicone implants. The buttocks become larger and more lifted, and the proportions of the back, waist and hips become more aesthetic.
During your consultation, Dr. Hakki Izmirli assesses your fat distribution and buttock shape to determine the right plan for you. For patients without enough body fat, buttock implants may be considered as an alternative.
The aim of a BBL is not only to add volume to the buttocks. Areas such as the waist, abdomen, back, flanks and inner thighs are sculpted with VASER liposuction to balance body proportions – this is the most critical part of a BBL. The result is a feminine, natural hourglass silhouette in harmony with your own body.

I had rhinoplasty with Dr. Hakki about 6 months ago. Although it was an operation I had put off for years, Dr. Hakki’s approach and reassuring manner overcame all my fears. I had almost no pain after surgery and hardly any bruising. His attentiveness, the way he treats patients and how he kept following up after surgery really give you great confidence. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

Before the operation he understood my questions and concerns. After a successful operation I could reach him whenever I wanted and was always met with attention and warmth. I thank Dr. Hakki for the care, sincerity and kindness he showed both before and after surgery.

1) Body contouring – VASER liposuction: Fat is removed from areas such as the waist, abdomen, back, flanks and inner thighs. Body proportions are balanced at this stage.
2) Fat purification: The harvested fat is passed through special filters to separate the most suitable cells.
3) Fat transfer to the buttocks: Fat is injected into the upper and middle parts of the buttocks to create a more lifted, rounder and fuller appearance.
During surgery: A BBL is performed under general anaesthesia and takes 2–3 hours. Pre-operative tests are carried out at the hospital on the morning of surgery.
After surgery:
Most of the fat transferred to the buttocks is permanent; after a BBL, approximately 60–80% of the fat remains. How long the result lasts may vary with the quality of the fat cells, lifestyle and weight changes. Maintaining your weight and a healthy lifestyle helps the results last for a long time.

When performed by an experienced surgeon with the right fat-injection technique, BBL results look natural and smooth. Distributing the fat evenly across the buttocks and shaping the surrounding areas with liposuction are key to this.
Both methods are performed. For patients with enough body fat, a BBL using their own fat gives a more natural result; for patients with little fat or those wanting more pronounced volume, buttock implants may be preferred. Which is right for you is decided during your consultation.
Taking fat from several areas such as the waist, abdomen, back, flanks and inner thighs both provides enough fat for the buttocks and slims these areas. This is how the hourglass silhouette is created; shaping the surrounding areas is as important as the fat injection itself.
Significant weight gain or loss can affect the result. Staying at a stable weight close to your ideal and living a healthy lifestyle help preserve the result.
A BBL can be risky if the correct technique is not used. That is why a BBL always requires:
