BBL Methods

It might take more than just study the butt to get the ideal butt image. It is best to assess each buttock, waist, waist-butt transition, hip, leg, and even abdomen separately before doing it all at once. The appropriate adjustments should be done for each one of them independently in order to attain the ideal ratio.  For achieving it there two different model of operation.

A popular aesthetic surgery is the buttock contouring approach with hip fat injection. It is preferred because it is quick, easy to perform, easy to clean up after, and produces incredibly impressive effects. The transition from the waist to the hip area can be made more aesthetically pleasing with the Vaser liposuction technique. As a result, the hip gets slimmer and more rounded. Vaser Liposuction allows for the injection of fats containing stem cells into the butt during the same procedure, giving the buttocks a more long-lasting appearance. There can be some minor pain following the procedure, which can be managed. A 1-night hospital stay is usually recommended. Those who have vaser liposuction along with butt fat injection should use a special corset for 3 weeks. Patients can return to routine life in 3-5 days.

Butt lift and volume augmentation with prostheses are possible. After surgery, there is often a 6 to 8 cm scar in the center of the hip that blends in with the folds.

There are rules that the person must comply with before coming to the surgery.

After BBL Operation

It is recommended to sleep face down for at least 15 days after BBL surgery. In order to preserve the shape after the surgery, it is necessary not to sit on the buttocks for the first 15 days. The butt pillow given by the doctor should be placed under the legs and the butt should be placed outside. Standing is not a problem. It is recommended to wash with a corset for the first 1 week after the surgery. When the corset is removed, it can be difficult to put on.

The corset should be worn for at least 6 weeks. It is important to use a corset after BBL surgery. If fat was injected into the buttock in this surgery, a corset will be attached to the patient during the surgery. It is important to use correct and high-quality corsets after the surgery. It should not lose its elasticity immediately. It is required by the doctor to wear a corset for an average of eight weeks. Postoperative lying position should be adjusted well. Lying position after BBL surgery is as important as in other surgeries. When fat is injected into the buttocks with butt pads, the patient can be prevented from lying on his/her face with pillows with an empty middle. Sleeping drugs should not be used in the postoperative period. It is not desired as it may cause the risk of uncontrolled movement during sleep. The prescribed drugs must be used regularly. Massage is recommended to the patient after the surgery.

Excess skin occurs because subcutaneous adipose tissue is reduced. The body tightens the excess skin, but your massage will help for this tightening process. Swimming in the sea or pool is recommended one month after the operation. Because it creates a hydrotherapy effect. There is a situation that needs attention after BBL surgery. Swimming is a very effective exercise for working out the muscles. For this reason, the doctor may recommend swimming in the pool or sea after a longer period of time. Therefore, it is useful to consult a doctor. Cleaning the toilet after BBL surgery is also very important.

Cleaning should be done from back to front. If the dressing is thought to be contaminated, wound cleaning should also be done. One should sit on the toilet in a position with legs slightly open, feet pulled back, body and legs coming to the same plane. Because the butt muscles become the most relaxed in this position. In other words, the butt muscles are not forced in this position. The BBL technique affects the time to start sports. If the BBL surgery was performed using the fat injection method, sports can be started soon after.

You can start walking at a fast pace after the first month. After the second month, the patient can start to do the sports he wants. If surgery was performed by placing a prosthesis on the buttock, the patient should start with slow movements in the first month and should not exceed the daily walking speed. A second month should be waited for faster walking, and at least six months should be waited for compelling exercises such as squats.

After BBL surgery, smoking and alcohol use are undesirable as they impair tissue nutrition. Smoking delays wound healing. Alcohol use reduces the effect of the medication. The interaction of medications with alcohol also creates a separate risk factor. When the use of medication is forgotten or done incorrectly, the doctor should definitely be told. In addition, if the dressing areas get wet while taking a shower, the doctor should be told if any impact is received on the operation area. Thus, problems can be prevented with early prevention and intervention. Patients feel that they should hide such situations from doctors. It should be remembered that the doctor is there to help you with the setbacks that will occur after this surgery and the problems that may arise from these setbacks. Care should be taken not to gain or lose weight after the surgery. After BBL surgery, healthy foods should be preferred. Fresh fruit and vegetables, lean protein, low-fat milk and complex carbohydrate mixtures can be consumed. The body's healing process can be reduced by taking all the necessary vitamins and minerals for the body.
