BBL Surgery FAQ: Everything You Need to Know Before a Brazilian Butt Lift
Thinking about BBL surgery? In this complete Brazilian Butt Lift FAQ, we explain what a BBL actually involves, who may be a suitable candidate, how fat transfer works, BBL recovery, safety, possible risks and what you should realistically expect before deciding on surgery.
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is not simply about increasing the size of the buttocks. It is a body contouring procedure that combines liposuction with fat transfer to improve the proportions between the waist, hips and buttocks.
In this video, Zubeyde Akdas from iMed Medical discusses the most frequently asked questions about BBL surgery. The medical information has been reviewed and approved by plastic surgeon Dr. Turgut Kayadibi.
We discuss:
• What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
• How does BBL surgery work?
• Who is a good candidate for BBL?
• How much donor fat is needed?
• Liposuction and fat transfer
• BBL safety and ultrasound-guided fat transfer
• General anesthesia
• How long BBL surgery takes
• What happens to transferred fat
• BBL fat survival
• BBL recovery
• When you can sit after a BBL
• Sleeping after BBL surgery
• BBL pillows
• Compression garments
• Lymphatic drainage massage
• Swelling after BBL
• BBL scars
• When you can return to daily activities
• How long BBL results last
• Possible risks and complications
• Combining BBL with other procedures
• BBL after pregnancy or weight loss
• Aftercare and recovery instructions
One of the most important things to understand is that BBL results depend not only on the surgery itself but also on your anatomy, donor fat, skin quality, lifestyle and how carefully you follow your postoperative instructions.
At iMed Medical, Dr. Turgut Kayadibi uses ultrasound monitoring during BBL fat transfer to help control the location of fat placement.
Every patient is different. Suitability for BBL surgery, potential risks and the appropriate surgical plan must always be evaluated individually by a qualified plastic surgeon.
This video is intended for general informational purposes only and does not replace an individual medical consultation, diagnosis or treatment plan.

Clavicle Reduction Surgery: Everything You Need to Know!
Clavicle reduction surgery aims to shorten the collarbone. Learn about the procedure and potential risks involved.
Dr. Turgut Kayadibi explains the specifics of clavicle reduction surgery. We examine the mechanics of how he performs collarbone surgery to potentially alter shoulder width. It is important for anyone considering this procedure to understand the surgical process before making decisions.
Beyond the technique, we address the reality of cosmetic surgery risks that patients should keep in mind.

Julia’s Rib Remodeling Surgery Journey | Skinny BBL + Chin Implant
Follow Julia’s rib remodeling surgery journey in Istanbul, combined with HD liposuction and J-Plasma, a Skinny BBL, and chin implant surgery.
Julia is a 27-year-old Brazilian living in Switzerland. She wanted a smaller, more defined waist, an hourglass silhouette, smoother hip dips, and improved chin projection. In this video, she shares her complete experience—from her consultation and surgical planning to her early postoperative check-up and first impressions.
Her personalized treatment plan included:
• Rib Remodeling Surgery to reshape the lower ribs and refine the waistline without removing the ribs
• HD Liposuction with J-Plasma for body definition and skin tightening
• Skinny BBL using her own fat to shape the hips, improve the hip dips, and create balanced projection
• Anatomical Chin Implant to improve chin projection and facial balance
• Chin and cheek liposuction with J-Plasma for additional jawline and neck definition
You’ll also see Julia’s surgical consultation, body markings, early recovery, corset change, drain removal, lymphatic drainage massage, and her honest thoughts just a few days after surgery.
Please remember that these are early postoperative results. Swelling will continue to decrease, and the body will change as the tissues heal and settle.
Every patient has different anatomy, goals, and medical suitability. Results, recovery, discomfort, and risks can vary. This video documents one patient’s personal experience and should not be considered medical advice. A personal consultation is required before any treatment can be recommended.

Men Are Getting Nose Jobs in Turkey (And It's Not What You Think)
Male rhinoplasty is one of the most searched surgeries in Turkey, but most men never talk about it. In this episode of Real Talk with iMed Medical, Melle Van Rooijen and Zubeyde Akdas discuss everything men want to know about a nose job but are afraid to ask.
We talk about:
Why so many men think about rhinoplasty but don't dare to do it
The biggest fear: ending up with a feminine nose
The overdone "Turkish Barbie nose" you see on TikTok, and how to avoid it
The straight "Greek nose" trend for a masculine profile
Rhinoplasty is not only about looks: deviated septum, blocked airways, breathing problems and snoring
How the surgeon rebuilds nasal support with your own cartilage, so your nose looks better AND works better
Why we ask personal questions about the look you want, and why we never judge
Realistic expectations: why the nose from a photo will not always fit your face
At iMed Medical Istanbul we believe cosmetic surgery is for everybody, not only for women. If you are thinking about a rhinoplasty, be open about it. Talk with your friends, talk with your family, and talk with us.
