What is Brazilian Butt Lift surgery in Turkey?
Brazilian Butt Lift surgery, also called BBL is a form of aesthetic surgery to make the butt larger and rounder by transferring some of the patient's body fat. BBL is performed by a qualified plastic surgeon. Most individuals opt for BBL surgery with the hope of a more enhanced, perky appearance that helps them gain so much confidence. The satisfaction rate of BBL is quite high; it is approximately 90 percent, and most people are satisfied with the shape they have gained. But, like any surgery, it does pose certain risks which are, such as; infection or alteration of sensation. Turkey is one of the most successful and preferred countries for BBL because of advanced health services, skilled surgeons, and lower costs.
Who is a good candidate for Brazilian Butt Lift in Turkey?
Having done the BBL procedure for many years, I would like to say that the best candidates are people who want to increase the volume and roundness of their buttocks. These candidates have some extra flab on their abdomen or thighs. This excess is then used to give the butt a more rounded look making it fuller. What makes the use of your fat preferable is that it does not have the look and feel of implants. In addition, you are provided with the added advantage of reducing the size of the donor areas through liposuction. This means it is less likely to be rejected or cause an allergic reaction since it is the patient's fat. One of the lovely benefits of fat transfer is that skin quality could be enhanced, again thanks to the stem cells in the fat. And the outcomes last for a long time because the fat cells that you transfer to the area blend with your body, and give naturally enhanced and lasting results.
What should I do before the Brazilian butt lift in Turkey?

- Stop smoking for at least 4 weeks before and after the operation.
- Fast for at least 8 hours before surgery to minimize anesthesia-related risks.
- Wear comfortable clothes on the day of surgery.

Is Brazilian butt lift painful?
No, generally, BBL surgery is not painful during the BBL process since the patient is normally under anesthesia and all operations that require cutting and sewing are done while the patient is unconscious. However, after the anesthesia wears off, the patient may experience a certain level of discomfort and slight pain, often linked to inflammation and incisions in the procedure areas. Pain management techniques include ice packs, cold compresses, and prescribed medications. Patients should follow their doctor's recommendations for activity limitations and care to minimize discomfort during recovery.
Does Brazilian Butt Lift leave a scar?
Yes, BBL Turkey does result in scarring but they are minimal and usually are sutures done in areas that are less conspicuous or in natural folds of the body such as the buttock crease. These incisions are normally done for liposuction and in the buttock area where the fat is transferred. Scar creams can help fade these scars. Patients should avoid direct sunlight exposure on the operated area and ensure proper care to prevent infections. BBL scars typically start as red and slightly elevated, but these features gradually fade over 6 months to a year and a half.
How much does a Brazilian Butt Lift cost?
Usually, the BBL costs $2500-$5000 in Turkey depending on clinic and surgeon experience. In the United States, the BBL price is significantly higher and varies from $8000 to $15000. The lower costs in Turkey are due to lower operational and labor costs, favorable exchange rates for international patients, and strong competition in the country's healthcare market.
