What Are Butt Implants Turkey?
Butt implants Turkey — also known as buttock implants, gluteal implants or bum implants — are solid silicone prostheses surgically placed within or beneath the gluteal muscles to add volume, projection and shape to the buttocks.
Unlike BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift), which uses your own fat, butt implants Turkey provide guaranteed volume enhancement regardless of your body fat percentage — making them the only option for lean patients who lack sufficient fat for transfer.
At Estelux Istanbul, every butt implants Turkey procedure is performed by Op. Dr. Uğurlu — board-certified plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgeon with 15+ years of experience and 3,000+ surgical procedures.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), buttock augmentation with implants is a well-established procedure with a long safety record — particularly suited to patients who are not candidates for fat transfer due to low body fat.
Butt Implants Turkey vs BBL: Which Is Right for Me?
This is the most common question in butt implants Turkey consultations — and the honest answer depends on your body type and goals.
| Butt Implants Turkey | BBL (Fat Transfer) | |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | Silicone implant placed in/under muscle | Your own fat harvested via lipo, injected into buttocks |
| Best for | Lean patients with little body fat | Patients with adequate fat donor areas |
| Volume guarantee | Yes — implant provides exact volume | Variable — 60–70% of transferred fat survives |
| Shapes available | Round or oval — predictable projection | Natural, softer — follows body contour |
| Scarring | Small incision hidden in gluteal crease | Tiny liposuction entry points |
| Waist definition | No waist change | Liposuction creates waist definition |
| Recovery | 4–6 weeks sitting restriction | 2–3 weeks sitting restriction |
| Longevity | Permanent — implant does not change | Long-lasting — surviving fat is permanent |
| BMI requirement | Any BMI | Requires adequate body fat |
Can I Combine Butt Implants Turkey with Liposuction?
Yes — butt implants Turkey can be combined with liposuction for waist definition, creating a more dramatic overall result. This combination gives you the guaranteed projection of implants plus the waist-sculpting benefit of liposuction. Op. Dr. Uğurlu can also combine butt implants Turkey with J-Plasma skin tightening for patients with mild skin laxity.
For patients with adequate fat, BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) may be a better option — Op. Dr. Uğurlu advises honestly during your free consultation.
Types of Butt Implants Turkey
Round Implants
Maximum projection and fullness. Creates a rounder, more dramatic buttock profile.
Oval (Anatomical) Implants
More natural shape — wider distribution of volume. Creates a subtle, athletic enhancement.
Implant Placement Options
Intramuscular (within the muscle): The most common technique at Estelux Istanbul. The implant is placed within the gluteal muscle itself — providing excellent coverage, a natural feel and the lowest complication rate.
Submuscular (beneath the muscle): Implant placed beneath the gluteal muscle. Used in specific cases — Op. Dr. Uğurlu determines the best placement based on your anatomy and tissue thickness.
The implant type, size and placement are determined during your free consultation — based on your body proportions, existing tissue and aesthetic goals.

The Butt Implants Turkey Procedure
Before Surgery
Free WhatsApp consultation → personalised surgical plan → pre-operative tests on arrival → anaesthesia consultation.
During Surgery
Butt implants Turkey takes approximately 2–3 hours under general anaesthesia. A single incision is made in the natural crease between the buttocks — hidden and virtually invisible once healed. The implant is placed intramuscularly with precise pocket creation to ensure symmetry.
After Surgery
Hospital stay: 1–2 nights with private nursing care. Drains may be used for 24–48 hours. Compression garment fitted immediately.
Butt Implants Turkey Recovery: Complete Timeline
Recovery from butt implants Turkey requires patience — particularly regarding sitting restrictions.
| Period | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Days 1–3 (Hospital) | Significant tightness and discomfort. Walking encouraged from day 1 — short, careful steps. No sitting directly on buttocks. |
| Days 4–7 (Hotel) | Improving mobility. Must use a special cushion or lie on stomach/sides. Daily coordinator check-ins. |
| Day 7–8 | Most international patients fly home — lying on side or using cushion on the flight. Business class recommended for long flights. |
| Weeks 2–4 | Modified sitting only (cushion or leaning forward). Return to desk work from week 2 with cushion. |
| Weeks 4–6 | Gradual return to normal sitting. Light exercise begins with clearance. |
| Months 2–3 | Normal sitting fully resumed. Swelling resolving. Shape settling. |
| Months 3–6 | Final result established. Implants fully settled. |

Butt Implants Turkey Risks: The Honest Truth
Every surgical procedure carries risks — and butt implants Turkey is no exception. Op. Dr. Uğurlu discusses all risks honestly during your consultation:
Common temporary effects:
- Swelling and bruising (resolves in weeks)
- Tightness and discomfort (managed with medication)
- Temporary numbness in the buttock area
Less common risks:
- Seroma (fluid collection — drained if needed)
- Asymmetry (minimised by experienced surgical technique)
- Infection (reduced by sterile operating environment and antibiotics)
Rare risks:
- Implant displacement (reduced by intramuscular placement and sitting restrictions)
- Capsular contracture (hardening around the implant)
- Need for revision surgery
Risk reduction at Estelux Istanbul: Op. Dr. Uğurlu’s intramuscular placement technique, combined with strict post-operative protocols and 12 months of remote monitoring, minimises complication rates. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon is the single most important factor in reducing butt implants Turkey risks.
According to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), buttock augmentation outcomes are highly dependent on surgeon experience and appropriate implant selection — reinforcing the importance of choosing a qualified specialist.

How much do butt implants cost in Turkey?
Butt implants Turkey at Estelux costs 60–70% less than UK (£5,000–£8,000) and US ($6,000–$10,000) private pricing — all-inclusive with hospital, hotel, implants, transfers and 12-month aftercare. Contact us via WhatsApp for a personalised quote.

Yes — when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon in an accredited facility. Op. Dr. Uğurlu uses intramuscular placement technique with strict sterile protocols. All butt implants Turkey procedures at Estelux are performed in ISO 9001 certified, JCI accredited facilities.
How long do butt implants last?
Butt implants are designed to be permanent. Modern solid silicone gluteal implants do not rupture, deflate or require routine replacement. They are a lifelong enhancement.
Is there a visible scar after butt implants Turkey?
The incision is placed in the natural crease between the buttocks — virtually invisible once healed. Even in swimwear, the scar is concealed within the gluteal fold.
How long do I need to stay in Istanbul for butt implants?
Most butt implants Turkey patients stay 7–8 days — surgery day, 1–2 nights hospital and hotel recovery before flying home. A special cushion is provided for sitting during the flight.
Can I sit after butt implants Turkey?
Not directly for the first 4–6 weeks. You will use a special cushion or sit leaning forward during the initial recovery period. Normal sitting resumes gradually from week 4–6 with Op. Dr. Uğurlu’s clearance.
What is the difference between butt implants and bum implants?
They are the same procedure — “butt implants” is the American English term, “bum implants” is the British English term. Both refer to surgical buttock augmentation using silicone gluteal implants.
Can I combine butt implants Turkey with liposuction?
Yes — combining butt implants Turkey with waist or thigh liposuction creates a more dramatic overall silhouette. The liposuction adds waist definition while the implants provide buttock projection.
Do butt implants feel natural?
Modern solid silicone gluteal implants feel firm but natural — particularly with intramuscular placement, where the muscle covers the implant and provides a natural tissue layer. Sitting and exercising feel normal after full recovery.
When can I exercise after butt implants Turkey?
Light walking from day 1. Gentle lower body exercise from week 6–8. Full gym training including squats and lunges from week 10–12 with clearance. The implants do not restrict athletic activity once fully healed.
