The essentials
What is bbl & lipo 360?
Lipo 360 removes fat from clinically appropriate areas around the abdomen, waist, flanks and back. Selected fat is processed and transferred to planned gluteal areas. Patients should ask whether real-time ultrasound guidance is used, where fat is placed, who performs each step and how emergency complications are managed.
What it may aim to do
- Contour the torso with Lipo 360
- Increase buttock volume or refine shape
- Use the patient's own fat rather than a butt implant
Is this treatment suitable for me?
A webpage cannot determine this safely. Suitability must be decided by the responsible specialist after reviewing your symptoms, examination, medical history, medicines and relevant tests. Our coordinator can help you prepare the right records, but does not make the clinical decision.
Plan ahead
Your pre-surgery timeline
A practical planning guide for elective surgery. A shorter timeline can still be appropriate; your surgeon and anaesthesia team’s written instructions always take priority.
Research and consultation
Compare qualified surgeons and hospital settings. Share your full medical history, previous operations and goals. If you use nicotine, ask the surgical team when you must stop.
Confirm the plan
Confirm the procedure, written quotation, aftercare, travel and companion arrangements. Complete requested tests and disclose every medicine, supplement, allergy and contraceptive.
Prepare for recovery
Reconfirm arrival and support arrangements, collect only prescribed items and prepare loose clothing and your recovery space. Never stop a medicine unless your clinical team tells you to.
Follow written instructions
Follow the hospital’s exact fasting, washing and medication instructions. Pack your ID, reports and regular medicines. Tell the team promptly if you become unwell.
Final safety check
Follow the confirmed arrival and fasting plan. Remove jewellery, make-up or contact lenses if instructed, and do not plan to drive after sedation or anaesthesia.
Do not copy a generic online medication or fasting schedule. Instructions differ by procedure, anaesthetic, medical history and the medicines you take.
01Procedure and techniqueHow it may be performed and what to discuss
- 360-degree liposuction of clinically appropriate torso donor areas
- Processing and preparation of the patient's harvested fat
- Subcutaneous fat placement according to the surgeon's safety protocol
- Real-time ultrasound guidance where required or adopted
- Conservative staged augmentation when appropriate
The appropriate technique can only be selected after examination, clinical indication and informed consent.
02Recovery and travelTypical milestones, Turkey stay and fit-to-fly decision
Swelling, bruising and donor-area soreness are expected. Walking and clot prevention are important.
Pressure restrictions and special positioning continue according to the surgeon's protocol.
Activity increases; transferred-fat volume continues changing.
A more stable contour becomes apparent after swelling and fat resorption settle.
Planning your stay in Turkey
Usually 6–9 days, longer if recovery or combined surgery requires it. This is a planning range. The treating team must confirm discharge and fitness to travel.

04Questions and answersFAQ and a short consultation checklist
Does your BBL use butt implants?
No. The procedure uses the patient's own fat harvested during Lipo 360. The fat is processed and selected fat is transferred to the buttocks.
Why is BBL considered higher risk?
Fat entering large veins can travel to the lungs and cause a fatal embolism. Technique, anatomical plane, ultrasound use, surgeon training and facility readiness are critical.
How much fat survives?
Survival varies and cannot be guaranteed. Some transferred volume is expected to resorb during healing.
Can I sit after BBL?
Protocols vary. Obtain written instructions for sitting, sleeping, driving and flying before booking.
Can my result be guaranteed?
No. Surgery can improve a concern, but healing, scars, symmetry and the final result vary. A responsible surgeon explains the realistic range of outcomes and the possibility of revision without promising perfection.
When can I fly home?
Only after the treating team confirms that recovery is progressing safely. The suggested stay on this page is a planning range, not medical clearance. Longer flights, anaemia, mobility limits and clot risk may require a longer stay.
What should I arrange before travelling?
Share an accurate medical history, medication and supplement list, smoking or nicotine use, previous surgery and relevant photographs or reports. Arrange travel insurance, an adult companion where advised, time away from work and a named follow-up clinician at home.
When should I seek urgent help?
Follow the hospital's written emergency plan. New shortness of breath, chest pain, one-sided leg swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, fainting, high fever, rapidly worsening pain or sudden colour change require urgent medical assessment.
Ask the treating doctor
- Why do you recommend this procedure for my case?
- Who will perform the procedure, and where?
- What should I expect during recovery?
- What follow-up will I receive after I return home?
