Butt Augmentation in Turkey: BBL (Fat Transfer) vs. Implants
A well-proportioned, curvaceous lower body is a cornerstone of a balanced and aesthetic physique. For those seeking to enhance the size, shape, and projection of their buttocks, Buttock Augmentation in Turkey offers two primary and highly effective surgical paths. The key to a successful journey is understanding which path is right for you.
This is a critical decision, as the procedure can be performed using your body’s own fat—a technique famously known as the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)—or with advanced silicone Butt Implants. Both are excellent options, but they are designed for different body types and aesthetic goals.
As an expert in advanced body contouring, Dr. Emre Özenalp will guide you through this choice. This procedure is also a popular addition for patients seeking a comprehensive transformation with a Mommy Makeover .
The best doctor in Istanbul, very sweet and caring. He listens carefully to your wishes and plans everything step by step. I'm very happy with this doctor and his team. They are truly very sweet and caring people. I think Dr. Emre Özenalp is the best and number one in Istanbul. I can't describe him in words.
advise you to deal with him. The result of the operation was more than wonderful. He and his wonderful medical staff.
Thank you dr.Emre🤍
The surgery involved not just the hernia repair but also a tummy tuck, 360 liposuction, and a BBL reduction, all of which were necessary for the best outcome. Despite not having much skin to work with, the results were incredible. The scarring has healed so well that it’s almost unnoticeable. I am incredibly happy with the outcome and the care I received.
My mum traveled with me to Istanbul to be by my side and to have a little holiday. Dr. Emre and his team treated her with the same care and respect as he did with me, which meant a lot.
I am thrilled with the results and am grateful to have found not just a fantastic surgeon, but a good friend as well. I highly recommend Dr. Emre to anyone seeking quality care.
Who is an Ideal Candidate? BBL vs. Implants
While all candidates should be in good health, at a stable weight, and have realistic expectations, the ideal technique depends heavily on your body composition.
You are an Ideal Candidate for a BBL (Fat Transfer) if:
You have sufficient excess fat in other areas of your body (such as the abdomen, waist, back, or thighs) that can be harvested.
You desire a natural look and feel, as the enhancement is created with your own tissue.
You also wish to slim and contour the areas where the fat is harvested from, achieving a “two-in-one” body sculpting result.
You are an Ideal Candidate for Butt Implants if:
You are naturally lean and do not have enough excess fat for a successful fat transfer.
You desire a significant and predictable increase in the projection (forward fullness) of your buttocks.
You are looking for a uniform shape and roundness that implants provide.

The Procedures Explained: The Art of Augmentation
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL): The Art of Liposculpture
The BBL is a sophisticated, three-step procedure:
Fat Harvesting: Dr. Özenalp performs Liposuction on pre-determined donor areas (like the abdomen or thighs) to carefully remove excess fat.
Fat Purification: The harvested fat is processed and purified to isolate the highest quality, healthy fat cells.
Fat Injection: The purified fat is then skillfully injected in multiple layers into specific areas of the buttocks to enhance volume and create a rounder, more lifted shape.
Butt Implant Surgery
This procedure focuses on placing a solid silicone implant to create volume:
Incision: Dr. Özenalp makes a discreet incision, typically hidden within the natural crease between the buttock cheeks.
Pocket Creation: A pocket is carefully created, usually within the large gluteal muscle, which provides a natural tissue cover for the implant.
Implant Placement: The soft, solid silicone implant is placed securely within the pocket.
Closing: The incision is meticulously closed in layers

Your Recovery: The "No-Sit" Rule and Beyond
Recovery from butt augmentation is unique and requires strict adherence to post-operative instructions.
The Golden Rule (Especially for BBL): You must avoid sitting or sleeping directly on your buttocks for at least 2-4 weeks. This is critical to ensure the newly transferred fat cells survive and integrate.
Special Equipment: You will use a special “BBL pillow” that allows you to sit by placing pressure on your thighs rather than your buttocks.
Week 1-2: Expect bruising, swelling, and soreness in both the buttocks and the liposuctioned areas. You will wear a compression garment. Most patients can return to a desk job (using the BBL pillow) after about 10-14 days.
Weeks 4-8: You can typically resume light exercise and most normal activities. The “no-sitting” rule is usually relaxed.
Months 3-6: The majority of swelling subsides, revealing the near-final shape and volume of your new contours.
Safety and Risks: A Transparent Overview
Your safety is our absolute priority. While rare, it’s important to be aware of the specific risks for each procedure. For BBL, Dr. Özenalp adheres to the strictest safety protocols, injecting fat only into the subcutaneous space (above the muscle) to eliminate serious risks. For implants, risks include displacement and capsular contracture. Choosing a board-certified, expert surgeon in a JCI-accredited hospital is the single most important factor in ensuring a safe procedure.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How much fat is needed for a BBL? This depends on your desired outcome, but a successful BBL requires having sufficient “donor” fat in other areas of your body for harvesting. Dr. Özenalp will assess this during your consultation.
Do butt implants feel natural? When placed correctly within the muscle by an expert surgeon, modern silicone butt implants can feel very natural. However, your own fat from a BBL will always feel the most natural.
What happens if I gain or lose weight after my procedure? The results will change with significant weight fluctuations. The fat cells transferred during a BBL will grow or shrink just like fat cells elsewhere. With implants, the surrounding area can change, affecting the overall look. A stable weight is key to maintaining results.
