Buttock Lift in Turkey
A buttock lift raises a descended buttock by removing skin, usually from above. It does not add volume; the scar may sit at the waist or upper buttock, and it is separate from fat transfer and implants.
A buttock lift is an operation that raises a descended buttock by removing extra skin, usually from above. What pulls the buttock down is often the length of the skin, and once the skin is shortened the buttock sits higher. The operation does not add volume. If a fuller buttock is wanted, fat transfer or an implant are separate procedures and are discussed separately. For anyone planning the journey to Turkey, the decision rests on how far the skin has descended, on whether weight has held steady and on whether the scar will sit at the waistline or on the upper buttock. A scar remains, and it is not described as something that fades away.
What it addresses
During the operation the extra skin is taken, usually from above the buttock and according to the planned line, and the deeper tissue is closed so it holds the buttock higher. The incision is planned at the waistline or on the upper buttock; its length follows how much skin is taken, and it is marked while standing. The operation does not add volume. If a fuller buttock is wanted, fat transfer or an implant are separate procedures and are not part of this operation. Weight should already be steady, because the operation does not make weight fall.
Who it is considered for
A buttock lift is considered when the buttock hangs, extra skin sits above it and the line of the buttock has dropped. If the problem is the length of the skin and not a lack of volume, a lift is discussed; if volume is wanted, fat transfer or an implant is discussed. Weight should have held steady for a while, because weight that changes later can lengthen the skin again. Smoking, wound healing and earlier incisions in this area are asked before a plan is built. The scar may sit at the waistline or on the upper buttock, and sitting is limited in the first weeks.
How the plan is made
In the first days the buttocks are swollen and tight, and the line is not yet the result. Not everyone has a drain. When one is placed it carries fluid out of the fresh wound and comes out once the flow falls. A garment is worn for the first weeks so the skin lies flat against the tissue beneath. Walking is allowed, but sitting and squatting are limited in the first weeks. After the flight home, the garment and wound care continue at home. This page is general information; your plan is settled after examination and a written quote.
What the written plan settles
At examination the line of the buttock is read standing, the extra skin above is measured by pinching, and the place of the scar is marked together. Whether it will sit at the waistline or on the upper buttock, whether a drain is needed and how long the garment is worn are written at the same visit. The planned stay in Istanbul is 7–10 days. That time covers the operation, the first wound check and care of a drain if one was placed. Op. Dr. Ramazan Güler clears the flight home once swelling and the wound allow it. The final line of the buttock is not judged in the hotel while swelling is still there.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. A buttock lift raises a descended buttock by removing skin. If a fuller buttock is wanted, fat transfer or an implant are separate procedures. Which is needed is discussed separately at examination.
The scar is planned at the waistline or on the upper buttock. Because skin is usually taken from above, the line settles there. Its length follows how much skin is taken, and it is marked while standing. It is not described as something that disappears.
A buttock lift removes skin to raise the buttock and does not add volume. Fat transfer places the patient’s own fat in the buttock. An implant gives volume with a prosthesis. They are separate procedures and are discussed separately.
The operation does not lose weight; it shortens skin. If weight changes a lot afterwards, the skin can lengthen again and the correction does not stay. The decision is made on a body whose weight has held for a while. If weight is still moving, the plan waits.
The garment helps the buttock lie flat and higher after skin is taken. Not everyone has a drain; when one is placed it carries fluid out of the fresh wound and comes out once the flow falls. The shape of the first weeks is not the result. How long is needed is said in the written plan.
The planned stay is 7–10 days. That time covers the operation, the first wound check, the garment and care of a drain if one was placed. Swelling is not fully gone in these days. The surgeon clears the flight once the wound allows it; if clearance is not given, the flight is not brought forward.
Sitting and squatting are limited in the first weeks, because the wound and the line should not take pressure. Walking is allowed. How to sit, and when sitting becomes comfortable, is explained at discharge. The time varies from body to body.
