Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) in Turkey
Body contouring with your own fat for beautiful, lasting results by expert surgeons in Istanbul.
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) with GlobMedTrust uses your own fat to enhance your buttocks naturally. Fat is harvested via liposuction from areas with excess, purified, and strategically injected to create a fuller, more shapely contour.
How BBL Works
Fat is harvested via liposuction from areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. The fat is then purified and carefully injected into the buttocks at multiple levels to create a natural, rounded shape.
The procedure contours two areas simultaneously, slimming the donor area while enhancing the buttocks.
Why GlobMedTrust
What Sets Us Apart
GlobMedTrust was born out of our founder's own experience: having travelled abroad for plastic surgery, our founder knows first-hand the challenges that come with it — finding the right surgeon, judging quality from a distance and coordinating every detail from another country. That is exactly what GlobMedTrust is for: we take the guesswork and the complexity off your hands, so you can focus on what matters most — your health and your recovery.
Our partner surgeons have extensive experience in BBL procedures and follow the latest safety protocols. Fat survival rates are maximized through careful technique and post-operative care.

Recovery
Most of our BBL patients can sit from the first day — no special pillow needed. Most patients return to normal activities at 4–6 weeks. A compression garment is worn for 5–6 weeks. 60–80% of transferred fat survives permanently.
What a BBL costs
Treatment in Turkey often costs less than in the UK or US.
Your price depends mainly on these factors: how many areas the fat is taken from; how much fat is transferred; your package and length of stay.
Every package includes the surgery and your hospital stay; Comfort and Imperial Care add the hotel, transfers and full aftercare.
For comparison: patients in the US report paying an average of $9,955 for a BBL, including surgeon, anaesthesia, facility and follow-up fees (RealSelf, 872 patient reviews, data updated April 2024).
Your price comes down to your body: where the fat is taken from, and how much can be transferred. In a medical review, our medical team assesses exactly that from your photos and medical history and gives you your personal quote.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do BBL results last?
60–80% of transferred fat survives permanently. Results are long-lasting with stable weight maintenance.
Is BBL safe?
When performed by an experienced surgeon following modern safety protocols, BBL is a safe procedure. Our surgeons follow all current safety guidelines.
How much does a BBL in Turkey cost?
A BBL in Turkey often costs less than in the UK or US. Every package includes the surgery and hospital stay, with no hidden fees; the Comfort and Imperial Care packages add the hotel, transfers and aftercare. We send a personalised quote based on the donor areas and the volume of fat transfer you need.*
Is a BBL safe? Aren't there risks I've read about?
BBL has historically had higher complication rates than many cosmetic procedures, which is exactly why surgeon selection and technique matter so much. Our partner surgeons follow the modern subcutaneous-only safety protocol (no intramuscular fat injection) and use ultrasound guidance where appropriate — the protocols associated with the lowest documented complication rates.
How long is the recovery and when can I sit?
Most of our BBL patients can sit from the first day — no special pillow needed. Most patients return to office work at 2 weeks and to all normal activities at 4–6 weeks.
How much fat survives a BBL?
60–80% of the transferred fat survives permanently. Your surgeon over-transfers slightly to account for this, so the final shape matches the plan you agreed on before surgery.
How long should I stay in Turkey for a BBL?
We recommend 6–7 nights in Istanbul, from your arrival to your departure home. This covers surgery and the early recovery window. Throughout your stay, your surgeon's medical team — doctors and nurses — looks after your recovery; your surgeon joins follow-ups whenever needed.
Am I a candidate for a BBL?
You need enough donor fat (typically a BMI of 22+) for a meaningful result. If you're very lean, we'll tell you honestly. If an implant-based option is the better choice, we'll recommend it, and we can arrange that for you too. Photos sent to the surgeon get you a clear assessment within 24 hours.
Will the surgeon I'm told about actually operate on me?
Yes. The surgeon selected for you performs your operation personally, and you meet them in person in Istanbul before surgery. Who will operate on me →
Is there intensive care at the hospital?
Yes. Every partner hospital has an intensive care unit on site, and your anaesthetic is given by a specialist anaesthetist.
What signs after surgery mean I need help?
Chest pain, sudden breathlessness or bleeding that won't stop need an ambulance straight away. Pain or swelling in one leg, spreading redness, pus or a fever need a doctor the same day. See all warning signs →
