Ultrasonic Sculpting & Subdermal Tightening — VASERlipo® & Renuvion®
Pairing tissue-selective ultrasonic lipoemulsification with cold helium plasma energy and anatomical Deep-Plane SMAS techniques for smooth, sculpted contours.
VASERlipo® Ultrasonic LipoSelection® & Hi-Def 360
36 kHz Acoustic Cavitation • Connective Tissue Preservation • High-Viability Fat Harvesting
- Selectively emulsifies adipocytes via ultrasound energy while preserving blood vessels, nerves, and collagen matrices.
- Enables precise 360-degree athletic etching with smoother contour transitions and less postoperative bruising.
- Preserves cellular integrity of harvested fat grafts when combined with autologous contouring protocols.
Renuvion® (J-Plasma) Helium Tightening & Deep-Plane SMAS
RF + Cold Helium Plasma • Fibroseptal Network Retraction • Deep-Plane SMAS Facial Repositioning
- Contracts subdermal fibroseptal collagen bands instantaneously without excisional scars in mild-to-moderate skin laxity.
- In facial rejuvenation, releases and repositions the Deep-Plane SMAS layer for natural, tension-free longevity.
- Rapid helium cooling maintains safe epidermal surface temperatures throughout subdermal energy delivery.

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
We perform the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) operation using the latest technologies.
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) at ONE CLINIC
At ONE CLINIC in Istanbul, we offer the popular Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), a safe and effective body contouring procedure designed to give you rounder, fuller, and more lifted hips using your own body fat. This minimally invasive procedure combines liposuction and fat transfer, harvesting fat from unwanted areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks and strategically placing it into the buttocks to create natural-looking curves. Our expert surgeons use advanced techniques such as Vaser Liposuction or J-Plazma to achieve optimal fat harvest and smooth results, giving you a beautifully contoured silhouette.
What is Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a procedure that enhances the size and shape of the buttocks using autologous fat transfer. During the procedure, fat is carefully harvested from specific areas of your body via liposuction, purified, and then injected into the buttocks to increase volume and achieve a rounder, natural-looking contour. This technique not only augments the buttocks but also slims and contours other parts of the body, creating an overall balanced and harmonious appearance.
At ONE CLINIC, we prioritize patient safety and natural results by employing advanced liposuction techniques such as Vaser Liposuction, allowing us to gently harvest fat and achieve a higher survival rate of the graft during transfer.
Pre-Procedure Instructions for Brazilian Butt Lift
To achieve the best possible results from your BBL procedure at ONE CLINIC, it is important to follow specific pre-operative instructions:
Post-Brazilian Butt Lift Instructions
The recovery process is crucial for ensuring the survival of transferred fat cells and achieving optimal results. After your BBL at ONE CLINIC, follow these essential post‑care instructions:
Avoid Sitting Directly on Your Buttocks: It is important to avoid applying pressure to your buttocks for at least two weeks after surgery. Use a BBL pillow to prevent pressure on the treated area, or lie on your side or stomach. Sitting directly on your buttocks too early can affect fat cell survival.
Recovery Time After a Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery
The recovery process after a Brazilian Butt Lift varies depending on individual factors, but here is a general timeline of what you can expect:
Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are normal during the first week after surgery. During this period, you should avoid lying or reclining on your back and wear compression garments as instructed.
● Weeks 2 to 4:
Most patients can return to light activities such as walking and going back to work within two weeks. Swelling gradually subsides and you begin to see the results.
The final results of your BBL will become more pronounced as the transferred fat settles and your body heals. Swelling will continue to decrease, and your hips will take on their final shape during this period.
Fat Transfer BBL and Implant BBL
A frequently asked question we receive is the difference between fat transfer BBL and implant BBL. Here is a guide to help you understand which option might be best for you:
● Fat-Transfer BBL:
This technique uses your own body fat to enhance the buttocks. It provides natural-looking results, improves the appearance of other areas through liposuction, and also offers a skin-tightening benefit. Because natural fat is used, the risk of complications such as infection or rejection is lower. However, you must have sufficient donor fat in other areas to be a suitable candidate for this procedure.
● Implant-Based BBL:
Implants are used for patients who do not have enough body fat for a traditional BBL. This option provides consistent results in terms of size and shape, but carries higher risks such as implant displacement or infection. The outcomes may also feel less natural compared with fat transfer.
Complex Rhinoplasty vs. Standard Rhinoplasty – What’s the Difference?
The complexity of a rhinoplasty procedure depends on the scope of changes required and the structural issues being addressed:
It is ideal for patients who need both cosmetic improvement and correction of breathing issues or significant structural changes. This is more invasive than standard rhinoplasty and may require a longer recovery period.
Which is better for BBL: Vaser Liposuction or J-Plasma?
When performing a BBL with fat transfer, the choice between Vaser Liposuction and J-Plasma depends on your goals and body type:
● Vaser Liposuction:
Vaser uses ultrasound technology to gently extract fat, making it ideal for fat harvesting during BBL. Its high precision minimizes damage to surrounding tissues, resulting in a higher fat survival rate and smoother outcomes.
J‑Plasma combines cold plasma energy and radiofrequency to tighten the skin after fat removal. While it is excellent for patients seeking skin tightening, it may not be as effective as Vaser for harvesting large volumes of fat.
For most BBL procedures, Vaser liposuction is the preferred method because it provides better fat retention and more natural‑looking results. However, J‑Plasma can be used in combination for patients who also require additional skin tightening.

In Surgery & Aesthetics: Myth or Fact?
Common taboos, misconceptions, and the scientific clinical truths verified by our board-certified surgeons.
“Having nasal packings pulled out after rhinoplasty causes unbearable, tearing pain.”
Old-fashioned fabric packings are obsolete. One Clinic uses medical-grade soft silicone splints with central airway tubes that allow breathing. Removal takes less than 3 seconds and is virtually painless.
“Every rhinoplasty looks artificial, overly upturned, and obviously operated on from across the room.”
We reject cookie-cutter noses. Using 3D golden-ratio facial profiling, we custom-engineer a nose that fits your forehead, lips, and jaw structure naturally—preserving ethnic beauty without looking 'done'.
