A Fuller Natural-Looking Silhouette with Your Own Fat

Yes, the standard recommendation is not to sit directly on the buttocks for 6–8 weeks after the operation. You can sit using a BBL pillow or a special position resting on the thighs. This restriction is critical for the fat to settle and to avoid disrupting blood flow; neglecting it for long negatively affects the permanent result.

Flying is usually allowed from days 10–14. On long flights, wearing compression stockings and getting up to walk for 5–10 minutes every hour is recommended. If you tell us about this in advance, we'll arrange your discharge plan accordingly.

The data behind this claim comes from procedures at unlicensed clinics. The risk comes from fat being injected into the muscle or a blood vessel. With an experienced surgical team, a proper injection plan, and a technique targeting the deep fat layer, the risk is very significantly reduced. International safety protocols are fully applied at our clinic.

There can be discomfort for the first 3–7 days, controllable with pain relievers. Light walking is allowed at week 2. The sitting restriction is lifted at weeks 4–6. You should wait 2–3 months for sports and intense exercise. The final result is assessed at month 6.

Most patients reach their goal in a single session. A second session can be considered for a very significant volume increase or to correct asymmetry after the first session, but you need to wait at least 6 months.

A BBL, ranging from $8,000–15,000 in the US, is offered in Istanbul at a much more accessible figure, including accommodation and all services. Even factoring in your flight, the total cost stays below just the surgical fee at a European clinic.

The BBL pillow (a special thigh-resting seat cushion) is part of our post-operative gift package; it's used for 6–8 weeks. It's practical and comfortable to use on planes, in cars, and on office chairs.
