Butt Implant
Buttock implants are a surgical procedure in which medical silicone implants are placed inside the buttocks to increase volume and create a rounder, lifted, and more aesthetic appearance. They enhance the natural contour, correct sagging, and provide a more defined rear silhouette. It is the most effective buttock augmentation method for individuals who do not have sufficient fat tissue for fat transfer.
Who is it suitable for?
- Individuals with a lack of volume in the buttock area
- Those whose buttocks are not sufficiently shaped despite having a fit body
- Individuals who do not have enough fat tissue for fat transfer (BBL)
- Those who want a more lifted, round, and prominent buttock shape
- Individuals with buttock asymmetry
- Those who experience volume loss due to congenital reasons or after weight loss
- People seeking long-lasting and more pronounced results
Recovery Process
Most Frequently Asked Questions
How is the surgery performed?
- The procedure is performed under general anesthesia.
- A small incision is made in the upper inner buttock area or near the tailbone.
- The implant is placed either inside the gluteal muscle (intramuscular) or into a specially created pocket above the muscle.
- The position of the implant is carefully checked to ensure symmetry.
- The incision is closed with aesthetic sutures, and a special dressing is applied.
How long does the surgery take?
A buttock implant surgery typically takes between 1.5 and 2.5 hours.
The duration may vary depending on the surgical technique and any additional procedures performed.
Is the surgery painful?
A feeling of tightness and pressure in the buttocks is normal during the first few days.
The pain is usually moderate and can be easily managed with the prescribed pain medications.
Most patients report that the discomfort significantly decreases after the first week.
How long do the results last?
Silicone buttock implants are long-lasting and permanent. Implants placed using the proper technique maintain their shape for many years and generally do not require replacement. Weight fluctuations may slightly affect the aesthetic appearance, but the implant itself does not lose volume.
Will I have visible scars?
Since the incision is usually hidden within the natural creases of the buttocks, the scar is not noticeable from the outside.
The scar may appear pink during the first few months, but over time it blends with the skin tone and becomes less visible.
What are the risks?
Infection
Bleeding or hematoma
Implant displacement or rotation
Asymmetry
Delayed wound healing
Temporary numbness or changes in sensation
Rarely, capsular contracture
With an experienced surgeon and the proper surgical technique, these risks are reduced to a minimum.

How long should I stay in Istanbul for recovery?
To properly manage the post-operative control and follow-up process, patients are advised to stay in Istanbul for at least 7–10 days.
If necessary, this period may be extended based on the doctor’s evaluation.
Is it safe to travel by plane after the procedure?
In most cases, air travel is allowed 7–10 days after the surgery, following your doctor’s examination.
This period is necessary to reduce the risk of blood clotting and to ensure that swelling is under control.
What will my post-operative care be like when I return home?
In the early post-operative period, all follow-ups are performed directly by our surgeon, and patients are allowed to return to their home country once they no longer require dressings. In the following weeks, additional check-ups are conducted via video calls. Before leaving Istanbul, patients receive detailed instructions, and all necessary care videos are shared with them.
Will language be a barrier?
