BBL operation is getting more and more famous every day. Women all around the world are having or considering having the operation to get the body they desire. However, since BBL is a rather new technique, many women are shy about getting BBL because of some unsolved questions on their minds about the operation. One of the biggest questions they have is; Will BBL make cellulite worse? Because none of us want cellulite, and we avoid having them at all costs. So, does BBL effects cellulite? Let’s find the answer!

Cellulite is caused by connective tissue bands pulling the skin over certain areas of fat downward into the underlying tissues. As a result, the surface gets uneven. The amount of cellulite you have may be the result of your genes, your age, or your body fat percentage, as well as the thickness of your skin.

You may hear some rumors that claim BBL operations can make your cellulite worse. The first thing you should keep in mind is that BBL does not aim to treat your cellulite. BBL is an operation to give you a rounder and plumper butt by using your own excess fat. However, although BBL does not aim to treat cellulite, if you have elastic skin, it may help diminish the appearance of cellulite. The doctor must be careful while performing the BBL operation and injecting the fat into the buttocks. When it is done right, the fat can be injected under the tissue where the cellulite occurred, and the injected fat can fill cellulite, hence diminish its appearance.

It can be concluded that BBL does not aim to treat your cellulite. However, if it is done by an expert, as we have here in Turkeyana Clinic, BBL can diminish the appearance of cellulite temporarily.

The Brazilian Butt Lift, also known as BBL, is one of the most popular self-fat injection operations. The BBL operation is basically about taking your excess fat and re-injecting it into your buttocks to give you more round and fuller buttocks. BBL in Turkey is a great option for people who want to get their dream buttocks. However, the recovery period of the operation can be a little bit thorny. But you know what they say, there is no rose without a thorn.

Normally, 48 hours after the operation, you should be able to do your daily activities. However, one of the setbacks that the patients struggle with the most is sitting and sleeping after the operation. It is strongly recommended that you do not sit or sleep on your buttocks for three to six weeks. You must avoid putting pressure on your buttocks as much as you can to get the perfect solutions. If you have to sit or sleep on your buttocks, then there are some tips that you can use.

To preserve the perfect round shape that you will get with the BBL operation, you must minimize the pressure on your buttocks. For instance, if you are going to sit on a chair, you can use a cushion or a BBL pillow to put under your thighs to minimize the pressure on your buttocks, or you can turn the chair back and sit on the chair backward, leaving your buttocks out of the chair seat.

On the other hand, after the BBL operation, you will need to sleep on your stomach. Sleeping on your stomach is the best option to keep your BBL results safe. However, sleeping on your stomach for long periods may lead to neck pains. So, if you feel the great need to sleep on your back, you should use cushions. You can place the cushions under your waist and your thighs, leaving your buttocks off the mattress.

BBL operation in Turkeyana Clinic can give you the rounder and fuller buttocks you have always dreamed of. However, if you would like to see other options like buttocks implants, you can contact our experts and get a free consultation now.

Otoplasty is a surgery that aims to solve aesthetic problems concerning the ears. It also improves the aesthetic of the entire face. Otoplasty surgery is extremely simple as it is essentially free of contraindications and does not require special pre or post-operative preparations. Otoplasty can correct the size of the auricle and its shape, that is, the defect commonly known as “prominent ears”.

Otoplasty can be performed on people of all ages, even children so that the little patient does not suffer the psychological stress of being teased by classmates. In the case of women, these are patients who use long hair that helps to hide the defect in the ear, avoiding the “ponytail”. Otoplasty is also one of the most requested interventions for men, along with the correction of Gynecomastia and Liposuction.

An Otoplasty operation takes from 40 minutes to an hour. There are no visible scars after the intervention. For a short time, it will be necessary to wear a surgical plaster to protect the treated area.

The Otoplasty procedure is performed under local anesthesia. This allows the patient not to feel pain, to benefit from an immediate post-operative recovery. Local anesthesia, being less invasive than general anesthesia, guarantees high levels of safety with regard to specific complications. Nevertheless, the patient will have to undergo the necessary clinical tests before proceeding with the intervention.

Patients can experience a little discomfort during their recovery from Otoplasty. You can easily manage this discomfort with some painkillers. In some cases, your surgeon can prescribe some medication to manage side effects that can occur during the recovery period.

Otoplasty offers immediate results in cases of prominent ears, visible when the dressings are removed. With the ear permanently positioned closer to the head, surgical scars are hidden within the natural creases of the ear.

Although edema, bruising, and numbness behind the ear may rarely occur after an Otoplasty surgery, they would still heal. Wound infection is a rare side effect too, but possible. Thus, an Otoplasty operation should be performed by an experienced and certified surgeon in an accredited hospital. Your plastic surgeon and the medical team must fully attend to your comfort and safety.

Do you feel embarrassed about your nose appearance? Would you like to enhance the proportions of your nose, improving your facial harmony? Or do you suffer from breathing problems resulting from congenital disabilities, looking for a permanent solution that can enable you to breathe normally?

Rhinoplasty is your ideal solution that can reshape your nose and treat your impaired breathing effectively! But what do you know about Rhinoplasty? Let’s learn about it briefly!

Rhinoplasty or “nose job” is a plastic surgery that improves your nose’s appearance or corrects its function due to congenital malformation or trauma by adjusting the cartilage, septum, tip, and nostrils.

The operation is usually undergone through two common types of operations which both require general anesthesia:

• Closed Rhinoplasty

Closed rhinoplasty is a common procedure for patients having minor nose concerns. It is an effective method for removing lumps or bumps or thinning the nose.

Closed rhinoplasty usually takes less time and requires a short period for recovery. In this surgery, the incisions are made inside the nostrils between the upper and lower cartilage, so the patient will have no visible scars.

• Open Rhinoplasty

When it comes to nose correction, open Rhinoplasty can be a powerful procedure, especially for patients who have obvious disfigurement and need significant changes to the size or shape of their nose.

The incisions are made externally at the base of the columella, then the skin will be elevated, allowing more access to the nasal structures. Since an open nose job is more invasive, the recovery time might be longer than the closed surgery, and small scars on the outer rim of the nose will be visible as well.

Are you the right candidate for Rhinoplasty?

You might be a good candidate for Rhinoplasty if:

• You are older than 18 years old,
• Your facial growth is complete,
• You are in good health,
• You suffer from a deviated septum,
• You have breathing problems,
• You suffer from malformations due to congenital disabilities,
• You have disfigurement resulting from trauma,
• You have diseases that might cause nose deformities, such as smallpox and leprosy.

What are the post-instructions of Rhinoplasty you should follow?

Here are some necessary tips that you should consider after your Rhinoplasty:

• Take or apply the medicines prescribed by your doctor regularly, which help you avoid infection and control pain.
• Don’t blow your nose for two weeks.
• Keep your head up for a few weeks after the operation.
• Use cold water to compress your eyes and nose, which helps you reduce the swelling.
• Avoid strenuous activities until your wound is fully recovered.
• Stay away from the sun for six weeks after your surgery.

Hyperhidrosis is the scientific name of excessive sweating. One of the most affected parts of the body by hyperhidrosis that can cause discomfort is the armpit. Those who suffer from it often isolate themselves and feel their safety in social and work spheres compromised. Botulinum toxin can be a solution to excessive sweating.

Sweating is a normal reaction of the body to self-regulation of temperature. The reasons for excessive sweating are not yet clear to science but it is certainly caused by a set of factors:

• Excessive innervation of the sweat glands,
• Emotional stress,
• Menopause,
• Hyperthyroidism.

To determine more precisely the causes of the specific hyperhidrosis, it is necessary to undergo a medical examination.

How does botox in the armpits work?

When we sweat, a chemical message is sent from the brain to the sweat glands, telling them to “turn on” the sweat. Botox effectively blocks the chemical message from the brain to the sweat glands, so that the message is not received by igniting the sweat. Over time, the nerve endings of the sweat glands will begin to recover, so that, from the 4th month onwards, very light sweating will occur. Once all the nerve endings have been regenerated, a new treatment will be needed to produce the same effect.

The technique is fast: in fact, the treatment requires less than ten minutes, it is carried out with very thin needles that penetrate superficially under the armpit, releasing the toxin. The treatment reaches its maximum effect a few days after the session, remaining stable for a period of about 8 months. There are no contraindications to the use of Botox, which is why the treatment can be repeated even twice a year and the patient can immediately return to their daily life.

How to control armpit sweating?

• Apply antiperspirants as often and regularly as possible
• Drink lots of water
• Regularly exercise (even if exercise makes you sweat, it will have a positive effect on stress and anxiety which in the long term will improve your sweating when you are not engaged in physical exercise!)
• Have spare clothes with you when engaging in social situations
• Try to avoid stressful situations that you don’t need
• Eat healthily and keep your weight in check

The term ethnic rhinoplasty refers to rhinoplasty procedures performed on non-Caucasians. The aim is to perform nasal reshaping to improve the appearance and/or functionality of the nose while at the same time preserving the unique features associated with your ethnic background. It is mostly used for patients of Asian, African, and Middle Eastern, and Hispanic descent.

Rhinoplasty is not a one-size-fits-all procedure, so it is very important to ensure that patients also achieve stunning results that look natural and fit their faces. This becomes even more important for patients of a particular ethnicity.

The most common ethnic nose types are as follows:

• African Rhinoplasty: They have the widest and most prominent noses indicated by enlarged nostrils, wide and rounded tips, and the absence of a protruded nasal bridge
• Asian Rhinoplasty: Asian noses resemble African noses as they both tend to have wider nostrils and low nasal bridges, which creates a flatter facial profile. They usually tend to go for augmentation of the nasal structures.
• Middle Eastern / Mediterranean: Middle Eastern noses are usually long and slightly droopy. They are characterized by bulbous nasal tips, prominent nose bridges, and large dorsal humps.
• Latino / Hispanic: People of Hispanic descent often have wider noses with drooping or bulbous tips. Most have dorsal humps or side bumps as well.

Ethnic rhinoplasty must be performed by plastic surgeons who fully understand the differences between facial structures of different ethnic origins. For example, an African nose usually has softer cartilage and thicker skin than a Caucasian nose. These characteristics may require a different approach compared with traditional rhinoplasty techniques. While many Caucasian patients want to reduce the cartilage in the nose, perhaps correct a hump, reduce the overall size and profile appearance, and reduce or change the tip, an ethnic rhinoplasty may involve adding some shape and volume to a nose that may be wider and/or straight. Common requests for ethnic rhinoplasty often include a narrowed nostril base, a higher bridge, and a narrowed tip. However, to assume that all people of specific ethnicity have similar noses would be a mistake aesthetically and surgically. It is equally wrong to assume that all patients of specific ethnicity desire a similar outcome for their noses. Additionally, patients may want to preserve their overall ethnic look.

Ethnic rhinoplasties’ recovery time may be slightly longer than the traditional rhinoplasties. Some ethnicities have thicker nasal tissue, which causes the area to swell for longer than Caucasian patients, effectively extending your rhinoplasty recovery time. For instance, the black skin may be thicker than the white skin and it means it is more likely to have a permanent scar on your face if you are African and your surgeon is not experienced.

In a nutshell, with a skilled and experienced surgeon, ethnic rhinoplasty can help enhance your natural beauty and create harmony and balance among your facial features. The doctor or clinic where you will have the procedure performed should be chosen after conducting a more thorough investigation than you could for a traditional rhinoplasty.

Is there a perfect time during the year to undergo plastic or cosmetic surgery? What is the best time for cosmetic surgery? Let’s find out together…

The best time to undergo cosmetic surgery is always the one that meets the patient’s needs. Depending on your habits, your work, and your family needs, only you can know what is the right time for you. Yet, unless there is a rather serious problem to be solved that has repercussions on health, not all periods of the year are recommended to undergo plastic surgery, especially taking into account what concerns post-operative recovery. Let’s see some examples regarding the most requested cosmetic surgery procedures and their characteristics…

Liposuction: after the surgery, it is necessary to wear an elastic corset for at least 15 days. Therefore, it is not recommended to apply it in the warmer months to avoid swelling in the legs and slowing of circulation.

Rhinoplasty: as far as rhinoplasty is concerned, you can undergo the operation at any time of the year, but if you suffer from allergies it is always better to avoid spring as pollens could cause allergic rhinitis and nose discomfort that would be better avoided in the postoperative.

Breast Surgeries: Springtime may be the most popular time of year for breast surgeries, but that doesn’t mean it’s the best time of year. Of course, breast surgeries can be done anytime; but winter and spring months are better because the use of a band is envisaged in the postoperative period, and exposure to the sun is also not recommended to allow scars to heal naturally and become less and less visible. Colder weather often means heavier, less-revealing clothing so you can heal more privately as well. For these reasons, it is recommended to proceed in autumn and winter.

Lifting: It is recommended not to expose yourself to the sun for some time after having undergone the surgery, so as not to make the scars evident and not to accelerate the aging process of the skin. Once again, autumn turns out to be the best time.

Therefore, the best time for the intervention certainly is autumn, since the climate is not particularly cold or hot, which helps to counteract swelling and does not make any post-operative corsets annoying. Furthermore, cooler temperatures help in faster recovery and restore normal blood circulation. And also there is no danger of the patient exposing himself to the sun when it is not recommended to do so.

Spring and summer are not recommended to perform liposuction, blepharoplasty, lifting, instead breast augmentation can be performed all year round. However, the patient is free to choose according to their needs, while always taking into consideration what has been said so far and the warnings of the surgeon.
