The Brazilian Butt Lift, or BBL, has become one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries, offering women the chance to achieve their desired silhouette with the revolutionary fat transfer technique. 

Patients often have inquiries regarding this cosmetic procedure, such as the amount of fat to be injected, the assurance of achieving the desired body, and the limits of fat removal. 

Areas targeted for liposuction during BBL typically include the back, waist, and love handles, where stubborn fat resides. Additional areas may be included based on the patient's and surgeon's preferences.

Aesthetic concerns such as small or large breasts, tubular shape, asymmetry, or sagging can be addressed through various breast cosmetic surgeries tailored to your needs and desires. Undergoing evaluation by our plastic surgeon in Istanbul allows for the determination of the most suitable procedure for you.

Breast Augmentation 

1. Breast Fat Transfer (Lipofilling): Enlarge your breasts naturally by injecting your own fat, providing a modest increase of 1 or 2 cup sizes. This procedure enhances breast contours and reduces spacing between the breasts. Liposuction is employed to extract fat for injection into the breasts.
2. Breast Implants: This procedure enhances breast size while giving them a lifted and rounded appearance. It also addresses breast asymmetry and defines the cleavage. Breast implant surgery can be combined with a breast lift for contouring purposes. Implant replacement, removal, and areola correction are also offered.
3. Automatic Breast Enlargement: Utilizing excess skin from breast sagging without implants, this procedure increases breast size and lifts them by eliminating excess tissue.

Breast Implant Procedure in Turkey:

• The placement of implants under or over the muscle takes approximately one hour under general anesthesia. Incisions are typically made under the breast, although alternatives such as the armpit or around the areola may be considered.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy): This surgery corrects sagging breasts by removing excess tissue and lifting them. Different types of incisions are used based on the degree of sagging, with options including a lollipop, anchor, or around the areola.

Recovery & Aftercare after Breast Surgery in Turkey:

• Patients are discharged one day after surgery.
• Sleeping on the back is recommended to prevent discomfort and stitch damage.
• Clinical nurses change dressings during the patient's stay.
• Avoiding exercises or activities that exert pressure on the chest is advised for the first month.
• A medical bra is provided for the initial month to manage swelling, followed by sports bras.
• Regular use of prescribed medications and scar creams is essential during the recovery period.
