Lipo & Brazillian Butt Lift (BBL) Turkey
Dr. Salih Onur Basat

BBL should be preferred especially for patients with good skin quality in the butt area. BBL with fat injection is not very feasible in patients with excess skin or poor skin quality in the butt area. But of course, a final decision can only be made after examination.

In addition, patients must have sufficient amount of adipose tissue. BBL with fat injection is not quite possible if there is not enough fat to collect, in which case patients may opt for other procedures.

The most common method used in BBL or buttock enhancement is fat injection, whereas butt implants may be a good option for patients with not enough body fat. Butt implants are inserted into the gluteal muscle. Thus, implants cannot be felt from outside and a very natural appearance of the butt is achieved. Butt implants are at the same time very effective in lifting the butt.

Butt implant surgeries can be combined with liposuction, which allows for narrowing the waist while lifting the butt. The fat removed with liposuction can also be used to enhance the butt even further in addition to butt implants.

As in every other surgery, routine pre-op tests are done before our patients undergo a BBL. It is important to not take aspirin one week before surgery as it can increase bleeding.

I prefer to have one last pre-op interview with my patients a day before surgery and take their pictures. Routine pre-op tests are run on the morning of surgery or the day before, and patients undergo a detailed examination by our anesthesiologist.

Firstly, liposuction is considered not only a fat removal surgery but also a body contouring surgery today. The aim of this surgery is to remove fat and provide a more beautiful and shaped body appearance especially for patients with regional fat accumulation.

In other words, patients whose weight is close to their ideal weight and who have regional fat accumulation create the most suitable patient group for liposuction.

The body parts, where liposuction is commonly performed, different for men and women. Women tend to gain weight from different regions than men due to hormonal factors. Women generally gain weight from abdomen, back, legs, arms and hips.

Therefore, liposuction is most commonly performed for these regions in women. Men more commonly gain weight in the trunk. Liposuction is most commonly needed for breasts (due to gynecomastia), abdomen and low-back region for men.

People who decide to undergo liposuction surgery should know that it is a body contouring procedure rather than a slimming surgery and expectations should be reviewed accordingly.

Another important issue to consider before liposuction is that this surgery can remove only fats located between skin and muscles. In other words, liposuction cannot remove fats found around abdominal organs.

Therefore, liposuction is not a viable option for patients with intra-abdominal fat deposition. Although no incision is made, a large of body is subject to the procedure in liposuction.

Therefore, blood counts should be within physiological ranges and there should be no co-existing disease, also called comorbidity. As is the case with all other surgeries, I recommended patients to quit smoking 4 weeks before and after liposuction procedures.
