What is Brazilian Butt Lift surgery in Turkey? (BBL)

A Brazilian Butt Lift, known as BBL, is cosmetic surgery to increase buttocks' size with fat transfer from another body part. This surgery is performed by a plastic surgeon. It is a surgery chosen by patients as a means for achieving larger, round, and proportioned buttocks. The prime BBL candidates are men and women who are food and water-secure, healthy and non-obese, and realistic about the prospect of a change in shape. BBL procedure entails the extraction of fat through liposuction, purification of the extracted fat, and then the fat is injected into the buttocks. As for the countries where such surgeries are performed, it is possible to note that Brazilian Butt Lift Turkey attracts clients with qualified s and privileges of a relatively low price.

Who is a good candidate for Brazilian Butt Lift in Turkey (BBL)?

Being a surgeon focusing on BBL surgeries, I meet different patients with certain features. The following is the conclusion of what constitutes the best BBL candidate, their characteristics, and expectations. Here are the general features of the best candidates

Adequate fat reserves

Characteristic: Candidates should have enough fat in other parts of the body especially the abdomen, thighs, or flanks to allow the surgeon to perform liposuction to get the required fat. Liposuction is performed to harvest fat to be used in grafting so patients who have low body fat might not qualify.

Good overall health

Any other medical condition that can increase the risk of developing postoperative complications in the patient must be optimized to boost the operation's success. These risks involve the general health of the patient, any sickness such as diabetes, cardiovascular illnesses, or bleeding tendencies that may slow methods of recovery from the surgery.

Non-Smokers

Patients who do not smoke are always selected for the operation since smoking limits the blood supply and can raise the risk of adverse outcomes such as infection and fat death considerably.

Stable weight

Stable weight should be maintained, this means that the applicant should not be planning to either gain or lose weight shortly.

Realistic expectations

It is necessary to explain the purpose and consequences of such an operation step by step and have reasonable expectations.

How do I prepare for a Brazilian Butt Lift in Turkey (BBL)?

Before the BBL surgery, I recommend several vital measures to those of my patients who are planning to undergo this surgery. First, one has to stop any medication that affects blood clotting such as aspirin and warfarin as they need to avoid taking such medications at least two weeks before the surgery to avoid bleeding complications. You should also avoid using any food for at least 8 hours before the surgery because of the risks associated with anesthesia. You will have a blood test X-ray just to see that your body is fit for surgery. Pre-surgical smokers are especially advised to quit at least 4 weeks before the procedure to allow a healthier body recovery period. Consumption of alcohol should be refrained at least 48 hours before the procedure is carried out since smoking and alcohol cause a decreased immune system. If you are to be operated on, please come in casual clothes preferably tracksuits, and be ready to follow any instructions that I give you on the day of the surgery. Adequate intake of fluids and good nutrition before the operation will improve your situation after it.

How is performed BBL surgery?

I perform Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery using the steps below to improve the contour and size of the buttock. Fat transfer and implants are choices for this surgery. Here’s a detailed overview of the procedure:

Pre-surgical marking

In the preoperative phase, I draw on the skin the areas in which liposuction will be done, and the areas where the fat will be grafted. These markings help me during the procedure as a way of ensuring that the fat is removed correctly and sited well.

Anesthesia

The method starts with the use of anesthetic agents to ensure the client is not in pain during the process. This varies with the individual’s situation and the nature of surgery; it could be general surgery or local surgery under the effect of some sedatives.

Liposuction

Once the patient is anesthetized, I first perform liposuction. In those marked areas for instance the abdomen, thighs, or flanks small cuts are made to enable the insertion of a slender tube known as a cannula. The cannula is applied for emulsifying and then siphoning off the remaining adipose tissue. This step also gives the required fat for the augmentation of the buttocks as well as assists in the shaping of the donor sites.

Fat purification

The harvested fat is also purified. This entails the act of filtering out the fat to isolate the healthy fat cells from other contents such as fluids or other substances. The fat is then processed to be used for injection into the buttocks.

Fat transfer

I then take purified fat and using small injections, I inject the fat into various layers of the buttocks. It provides the natural curve and enables equal distribution of fat in the recipient’s body. The purpose is to have more voluminous, round buttocks that will contribute to the proper body proportions in the patient.

Incisions and closure

In the case of liposuction and fat injections, the incisions are small and once the fat transfer is done the incisions are sutured. These are small incisions that are made which assist in less scarring.

Post-surgical care

After the surgery is over, compression garments are placed on the treated areas. These garments assist in decreasing swelling and provide a new shape to the body while it heals. The patient is instructed on various aspects of post-operative care, concerning sitting, sleeping positions and activities to be avoided to obtain the maximum benefit.

Use of implants

Thus, regarding BBL, the most widespread procedure is fat transfer, but patients can be also interested in buttock implants. This can be regarded as a process in which several implants that are commonly made of silicone are inserted into the buttocks to improve the size and shape of the buttocks. This is comparatively more dangerous than fat transfer and gives a fake touch to the breast. I generally agree and advise fat transfer as it is natural and safer as compared to other methods.

Scientific and technical considerations

During the process, the main focus should be on keeping the fat graft healthy and a colorful graft should be prepared. Preparation of the fat involves adopting specific measures to enhance the survival of the fat cells that will be injected into the body. Further, the process of injecting fat in different layers and areas contributes to providing the end

What to do after Brazilian Butt Lift surgery?

It is crucial to follow several recommendations that I provide my patients with after the BBL surgery to guarantee a proper recovery and the desired outcome. First of all, it is necessary to take prescribed painkillers to decrease pain and swelling. YOu should consume soft foods to chew without applying excessive stress to the system. During sleeping positions do not lay on your back since it will subject the newly relocated fat in your buttocks to too much pressure head-on; instead, you should lay on your stomach or sides. No vigorous activity for at least six weeks because the fat should be allowed time to settle and the incisions fully heal; however light walking can be done within a few days to avoid blood clots. Avoid smoking as well as alcohol as they slow down the healing process and can also cause other complications.  It is advisable to wear compression garments as advised for the surgical area to reduce swelling and for the maintenance of the new shape.

How much does a Brazilian Butt Lift cost?

The average Brazilian butt lift price in Turkey varies between $3,000 to $6,000. In the Uk, the Brazilian butt lift cost ranges between ranges from £5,000 to £8,000.

Eyelid surgery in Turkey depends on the experience of the surgeon, the location of the clinic, and the specifics of the operation. Other considerations are the standards of the health facilities and whether they give discounts where they combine charges for the hospital with accommodation and transport. Currently, BBL is among the operations that patients in many European nations, including the UK, have to wait for a long time before being performed on them. The high demand also results in problems of getting a doctor, blood test, or X-ray when they are most needed. Also, the price for the Brazilian butt lift is significantly higher in these countries than in Turkey. As a result, patients prefer to have their operation in Turkey as they do not have to wait long and costs are affordable as compared to other countries. Also, Turkey has detailed solutions with airport pick-up and drop-off services for VIP patients, accommodation arrangements, and round-the-clock caregiver services.

Does a Brazilian Butt Lift hurt?

No, patients do not experience pain during a BBL because the surgery is done under anesthetic.

Generally, there is some amount of pain felt after the surgery owing to liposuction as well as fat transfer. This post-operative pain is normally mild and ranges from 2-5 days. Your surgeon will advise you to use pain medicines that should be bought only on prescription, and the patient may be given strong types of painkillers that are opioids for the first several days at most. Cold packs are advised to help reduce the swelling and to help numb the area and lessen the pain. Elevating the head above the heart level reduces the chances of formation of swelling and pain and also helps in proper blood circulation hence a shorter hospital stay.

Why do people go to Turkey for Brazilian Butt Lift?

Reasons to Choose Turkey for BBL
Affordable prices
Experienced surgeons
Modern healthcare infrastructure
Advanced technology
Comprehensive packages
Good tourism destination

Brazilian butt lift surgery cost in Turkey is generally lower than in many countries of the West, while the quality of services is high. Furthermore, the country has a pool of professional and accredited surgeons in the field of BBL surgery with several operations on their belt, which makes the treatment more credible. The material conditions of the clinics are good, most of them are equipped with state-of-the-art technology and are regularly checked by the Ministry of Health. For instance, my clinic is subjected to such inspections at least twice a year hence improving its standard of health care provision.

Besides, it is also an attractive country both for medical tourism and recreational purposes. Patients mostly add their operations to their vacation since Turkey is famous for its cultural and historical sites. BBL packages in clinics and hospitals are affordable and inclusive of almost all services that are required for the procedure. Common components of such packages are, for instance, VIP transfers from/to the airport, staying in luxury hotels, round-the-clock communication, and assistance. Prominent Bbl surgery before and after photos and success stories of the Turkish clinics also lure the patients and the assurance of what they are likely to enjoy makes them flock to the Turkish clinics.

Does Brazilian Butt Lift leave a scar?

Yes, Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery does leave scars but they are often fine and can be easily concealed.

Given my experience in performing numerous BBL surgeries, I make sure that incisions for liposuction and fat injection are done in invisible places like skin creases or areas that are covered by underwear. Initially, they might be red and slightly swollen but they are not very pronounced and they resolve with time. When treated with topical medications, protection from the sun, and prevention of infections, most of the marks fade away within 6 to 12 months after the surgery. Furthermore, taking proper care of the wound and adhering to post-surgical guidelines goes a long way in wound healing and reduces the scar size.

What age is best for Brazilian Butt Lift?

I recommended that a Brazilian butt lift in Turkey is done between the age of 25 and 45 years, although no fixed age prevents one from undergoing surgery. The majority of my patients lie in this range, which is desirable for many reasons. It is at these ages that one is usually lean enough to harvest fat for the procedure and also the skin has tense enough to allow it to conform to the new shape and attain a good and natural look. Patients below 25 years of age may still be immature as far as body fat distributions are concerned, and this is likely to influence the outcome. Patients older than 45 may experience problems associated with skin elasticity and the rate of tissue repair; however, patients older than 45 can be good candidates if certain conditions are met.

These recommendations are based on my clinical experiences and the research focusing on skin elasticity and the adequate amount of fat deposits that are necessary to achieve the best Brazilian butt lift results. https://academic.oup.com/asj/article/43/3/NP225/6880372

How long does a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) take to heal?

Brazilian Butt Lift surgery normally takes about 6 to 8 weeks to recover.

The outcome and the last stage appear from about 8-10 months after the operation. Some of the Bbl surgery recovery parameters include a patient’s general state of health, compliance with the surgeon’s post-operative instructions, length-wise sitting, and adherence to proper nutrition and sufficient fluid intake. Smoking is also necessary to stop because it inhibits the blood flow and appropriate wound care also helps the same by reducing the chances of infection.

Can I fly after Brazilian Butt Lift surgery?

No, I advise my patients to avoid flying for 1 to 2 weeks after the BBL surgery.

This waiting period is critical to help lower the risks of developing complications such as blood clotting, which might be more frequent in instances when one has to travel a long distance by flight. Furthermore sitting directly on the buttocks should also be done away with to enhance the healing and fat graft survival this is hard to manage while on a flight. It also notes that high pressure inside the cabin impacts on swelling and healing.

What is the minimum weight for a Brazilian Butt Lift?

For the ideal body weight, the lower limit is usually around 18 BMI. This helps in availing enough of fats that would be transported to the buttocks in the process of liposuction. Brazilian butt lift procedure requires an adequate amount of body fat so that it can be enhanced well and beautified as well. A low BMI indicating that the patient has very little fatty tissue means that the procedure is not very feasible as there will be little or no fat to collect. This is why one has to arrange for a consultation with a plastic surgeon to know whether he or she has enough fat deposits to support the surgery of a BBL.

What is a mini Brazilian Butt Lift?

Mini BBL means Brazilian Butt Lift but the surgery is less invasive than the standard BBL, where the surgeon gets involved in small volume augmentation and shaping. This procedure is recommended for patients who would like enhancements of their buttocks rather than enlargement of the butt. The mini BBL calls for the aspiration of a lesser volume of fat by liposuction from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks and re-injection into the hips or buttocks. Healing time is relatively faster the procedure doesn’t have as many side effects and the patients don’t need as much time off work as in a full BBL. Since it uses the least amount of fat, it is ideal for people with low-fat amounts or those who desire less augmentation.

Is a Brazilian Butt Lift better than an implant?

Yes, it is better to opt for a BBL as compared to implants for the following reasons. A BBL employs the patient’s fat, and this feels more natural than the use of silicone implants. As with this method of fat transfer, further body shaping is also possible since fat is taken from regions such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. Moreover, the probability of complications in BBL is relatively smaller as compared to the implant procedure. Implants have risks that include capsular contracture, infection, and shifting while BBL risks are associated with fat transfer, and the process can be reduced or eliminated if care is taken.

Brazilian butt lift recovery is usually easier and accompanied by fewer limitations as there are no implants that the body can recognize as foreign and attack. Compared to implants, the outcome of BBL can be permanent if a patient does not gain weight, while implants can wear off within some years. This has been supported by clinical observation and patients’ experience according to different studies and medical reviews from Oxford Academic.https://academic.oup.com/asj/article/40/8/871/5859849
