Lipo 360 & BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift)
Slims the waistline and adds volume to the buttocks with your own fat.
At New City Clinic, Lipo 360 & BBL is performed in Istanbul by specialist physicians at partner hospitals licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health.

Lipo 360 & BBL in Istanbul: overview
Lipo 360 is circumferential liposuction of the abdomen, waist and back. In a BBL the removed fat is purified and transferred to the buttocks; no implant is used. In line with current safety recommendations, fat is placed only beneath the skin and your surgeon limits the volume transferred. At New City Clinic your suitability is assessed by a physician from your photos.

Who is it for?
Lipo 360 with a BBL suits people who want a narrower waist and fuller buttocks in one plan: the abdomen, flanks and lower back are contoured all the way round, and the fat removed is used to shape the buttocks. Candidates should be at a stable weight, in good health and have enough fat to harvest.
Why combine Lipo 360 and BBL
Treating the midsection circumferentially makes the waist look smaller, which in turn makes the hips and buttocks appear fuller. Using the same fat for the BBL means one operation addresses both areas. Because more areas are treated, the operation and recovery are longer than either procedure alone, and the total volume is limited to what is safe for you.
Recovery after a combined procedure
You wear a compression garment for about six weeks and avoid sitting directly on the buttocks for two to three weeks, using a BBL cushion. Bruising and swelling are more extensive than after a single procedure; lymphatic drainage massage may be advised. Most people return to desk work after about two weeks, and the final shape is seen at three to six months.
Travelling from the UK or Ireland
Allow about 7 to 10 days in Istanbul for the operation and check-ups. On the four-hour flight home from Istanbul to London, Manchester, Birmingham or Dublin, sit on the BBL cushion, wear your garment and walk regularly. Your GP should know about the operation; follow-up continues remotely and your reports are provided in English.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Lipo 360 & BBL cost in Turkey?
The cost depends on the scope of the procedure, the technique, the hospital and your accommodation choice. After a physician's assessment, New City Clinic sends you an itemised written quote; getting a quote is free.
What does an all-inclusive Lipo 360 & BBL package include?
Your quote lists the hospital and physician fees, required tests, check-ups, airport–hotel–hospital transfers and, on request, hotel accommodation as separate items. Flights are not included; we can help organise them if you wish.
How long does Lipo 360 & BBL take?
The procedure takes about 3–4 hours. Anaesthesia: general anaesthesia.
How long do I stay in hospital and in Turkey?
Hospital stay: 1 night. The total stay in Türkiye is usually planned at 6–8 days; your physician confirms the exact length at your check-up.
Is Lipo 360 & BBL in Turkey safe? What are the risks?
Every medical procedure carries risk: infection, bleeding, anaesthesia-related problems and healing that differs from what was expected are the main ones. To reduce risk, the procedure is performed by a specialist at a licensed hospital after pre-operative tests. Your physician explains the risks specific to you at your examination.
When can I go back to work and exercise?
Desk work is usually possible within 10 days and sport after 6 weeks. These times vary from person to person.
Will there be scars?
Entry points of a few millimetres. Scars are noticeable in the first months and fade with time; how they heal depends on your skin.
When will I see the result?
The first change is visible as swelling settles; the final result appears in about 6 months. Results vary from person to person and cannot be guaranteed.
Can I see before and after photos?
Out of respect for patient privacy and under healthcare regulations, patient photos are shared only with the patient's consent. In your consultation the physician explains what is realistic in your case.
How do I choose the best clinic for Lipo 360 & BBL in Istanbul?
There is no single “best clinic” for everyone; for a safe choice, check these: a Health Tourism Authorisation Certificate, the name of the hospital and the operating surgeon, a written plan based on a physician's assessment, an itemised quote and aftercare. New City Clinic is an authorised intermediary registered with the Turkish Ministry of Health and HealthTürkiye; it publishes its authorisation, TÜRSAB and ISO certificates on this site and gives you all of this in writing with your quote.
Can every patient have Lipo 360 and BBL together?
Not always. If the combined operation would be too long or the volume too large, the surgeon may suggest doing it in stages.
Will I have visible scars?
Only small entry points of a few millimetres for the cannulas, usually placed in natural creases.
When can I exercise again?
Light walking from the first days; training is usually resumed gradually after four to six weeks, avoiding pressure on the buttocks.
Is Lipo 360 & BBL in Turkey safe?
Like any operation, Lipo 360 & BBL carries risks, and the risk depends far more on where and by whom it is done than on the country. The serious cases reported in the press have mostly involved unlicensed premises, non-specialists or too many procedures in one session. A safe choice means a hospital licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health, a named specialist surgeon, an anaesthetist, pre-operative tests and a long enough stay. New City Clinic is an authorised intermediary registered with the Ministry of Health and HealthTürkiye, and you receive the hospital and surgeon details in writing before you travel.
Why is Lipo 360 & BBL cheaper in Turkey than in the UK?
The difference comes mainly from lower operating and staff costs and the exchange rate; implants, materials and techniques follow the same international standards. Even so, do not choose on price alone: check the hospital licence, the surgeon’s specialty and exactly what the package includes.
