Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) in Turkey — Natural Fat-Transfer Contouring

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) in Turkey with Dr. Gülsüm Barutcu is a general-anaesthesia procedure performed in a fully accredited private hospital in Istanbul, Turkey.

A proportionate, athletic profile built from your own fat.

Surgical Technique

Structural Fat Grafting (Macrofat / Microfat)

Donor fat is harvested via VASER-assisted liposuction from the waist, flanks or thighs, purified, and reinjected into precise layers of the buttocks under strict sterile conditions. Fat is placed subfascially to maximise survival and safety.

BBL safety

Fat is injected only into safe subcutaneous and subfascial layers, well away from the deep gluteal vessels, following internationally recommended safety protocols. The procedure is performed in a fully accredited private hospital.

How much fat survives?

A portion of the transferred fat is naturally reabsorbed. Around 60–70% typically survives; final volume is assessed at 6 months. Touch-up fat transfer can be performed if needed.
