Buttock implants – medically known as gluteal implants – are a surgical procedure that gives the buttocks a fuller, more lifted and more attractive appearance. Silicone implants are placed inside the gluteal muscle, giving the buttocks permanent and noticeable volume.
Buttock implants are an ideal option for slim patients who do not have enough body fat for a BBL. Unlike fat transfer, the volume achieved does not depend on the amount of body fat and does not dissolve over time.
Dr. Hakki Izmirli performs this operation – which few plastic surgeons perform regularly – with personalised planning. During your consultation, your buttock shape, muscle tissue and expectations are assessed, and the shape and size of the implant are chosen together. For patients with enough fat tissue, a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) may be considered as an alternative.
The aim of buttock implants is not only to add volume, but to create a proportionate silhouette in harmony with the waist and hips. Because the implant is placed inside the muscle, it is covered by a thick layer of muscle, so its edges cannot be felt and it moves naturally when sitting and walking.
When needed, buttock implants can be combined in the same session with liposuction of the waist and back or fat transfer to the buttocks (hybrid / composite buttock augmentation), providing both volume and natural transitions.

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) Planning and implant selection: The width, height and muscle structure of the buttocks are measured, and the implant of the most suitable shape and size is chosen.
2) A single incision: A single incision is made at the level of the tailbone, in the middle of the buttock crease. The scar remains hidden within this natural fold.
3) Intramuscular placement: A pocket is prepared inside the muscle on each side and the implants are placed within the muscle. This ensures good coverage and a natural look.
4) Closure: Drains are placed, the incision is closed in layers and a compression garment is applied.
During surgery: Buttock implant surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and takes about 1.5 hours. Pre-operative tests are carried out at the hospital on the morning of surgery.
After surgery:
Buttock implants are made of high-quality silicone and keep their shape for many years. With correctly placed implants and when aftercare instructions are followed, the risk of shape deformation is extremely low. Patients usually achieve results lasting 10 years or more.
The buttocks take their final shape in about 3–6 months. The condition of the implants is monitored at routine check-ups.
Buttock implants – medically known as gluteal implants – are a surgical procedure that gives the buttocks a fuller, more lifted and more attractive appearance. Special silicone implants are placed inside the gluteal muscle. The aim is to make body contours proportionate and create a more attractive silhouette.
This procedure is often chosen by people seeking a “Brazilian butt” look.
Before surgery, your body type, skin elasticity and general health are assessed. Dr. Hakki Izmirli plans each operation individually to achieve natural-looking, symmetrical results.
Attending check-ups regularly and following the recommendations keeps the risk of complications to a minimum.
Many patients are unsure which buttock enhancement method to choose. A BBL injects fat taken from other areas of the body into the buttocks. For people without enough fat tissue, however, buttock implants are a more permanent solution with more volume.
In some cases the two methods can be combined as a hybrid (composite) buttock augmentation, giving both volume and natural transitions.
In recent years, Turkey has become one of the world’s leading centres for cosmetic surgery. Buttock implant surgery in Istanbul offers advantages compared with much of Europe in terms of both surgical experience and cost.
For international patients, services such as airport transfers, hotel accommodation and interpreter support are available.
The cost depends on the implant brand, the scope of the operation and any additional procedures. At our clinic, pricing is determined after a personal assessment during the consultation, and covers the operation, hospital, anaesthesia, medication, implants and early check-ups. All-inclusive package options are available for patients travelling from abroad.

Yes. Modern silicone implants placed inside the muscle move naturally and are not noticeable from the outside.
When performed by an experienced plastic surgeon, the risk is very low. Our clinic uses FDA-approved implants under sterile conditions.
You can return to office work after 10–14 days, and to physically demanding work after 4 weeks.
Because the incision is hidden in the natural fold at the level of the tailbone, the scar is minimal and fades over time.
The buttocks take their final shape in about 3–6 months.
