Butt implants in Turkey offer a lasting way to enhance volume and shape when fat transfer isn’t an option. At Carely Clinic, patients receive safe, natural-looking results with expert care and all-inclusive packages.
Not everyone has the body fat needed for a BBL — and that’s where butt implants come in. This cosmetic surgery places soft silicone implants into the gluteal area to enhance shape, projection, and volume. It’s ideal for patients who want more defined curves but don’t have enough fat for liposuction-based transfers.
Turkey has become a go-to destination for this type of surgery. With internationally trained surgeons, safe and accredited clinics, and a reputation for delivering beautiful results at competitive prices, Turkey — and especially Carely Clinic — offers patients around the world a trusted place to transform their silhouette.
Tired of squats that don’t deliver? You’re not alone. Thousands of men and women travel to Turkey each year seeking what genetics or the gym couldn’t provide—a fuller, rounder, more defined buttock contour that transforms both silhouette and self-confidence.
Butt implants in Turkey offer a permanent solution for those seeking dramatic enhancement with reliable results. From world-class surgeons working in state-of-the-art facilities to prices that make Western clinics blush, Istanbul has become the global epicenter for patients seeking exceptional gluteal augmentation at accessible prices.
At Carely Clinic in Istanbul, we’ve performed thousands of successful butt implant procedures, combining surgical excellence with the warm hospitality that Turkey is famous for. Our team, led by Op. Dr. Abdullah Sürücü, brings European training and artistic sensibility to every procedure, ensuring results that look natural while making a statement.
This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about butt implants in Turkey—from understanding the procedure to navigating costs, recovery, and achieving the curvaceous silhouette you’ve always wanted.
Butt implants, medically termed gluteal implants, are solid silicone prosthetics specifically designed to enhance buttock volume, projection, and shape. Unlike breast implants, buttock implants have a firmer consistency to withstand the pressure of sitting and maintain their shape throughout a wide range of daily activities.
During the procedure, which typically takes 1.5-2.5 hours under general anesthesia, the surgeon creates a carefully placed incision, usually within the natural crease between the buttocks (intergluteal fold). Through this discrete incision, a pocket is meticulously created either within the gluteal muscle (intramuscular) or beneath it (submuscular). The solid silicone implant is then precisely positioned within this pocket to create a fuller, more projected buttock contour.
The implants themselves come in various shapes, sizes, and profiles to match your body proportions and aesthetic goals. Round implants provide overall volume enhancement, while anatomically shaped implants offer a more tailored projection focused on specific areas of the buttock. Most implants used today are cohesive silicone, which maintains its shape even under pressure while feeling remarkably natural to the touch.
This permanent solution offers dramatic, immediate results that diet and exercise simply cannot achieve. Unlike temporary alternatives like injectable fillers, butt implants provide lasting enhancement that maintains its shape through weight fluctuations and aging. And unlike fat transfer procedures (Brazilian Butt Lift), implants don’t depend on having sufficient donor fat available, making them an excellent option for naturally slender individuals.
Beyond the obvious physical transformation, butt implants deliver numerous benefits that extend far beyond aesthetics:
“I was always the ‘skinny girl’ who couldn’t gain weight no matter what I ate. After years of feeling self-conscious in jeans and swimwear, my butt implants at Carely Clinic have completely transformed not just my body, but my confidence. Three months post-surgery, everything fits better, and for the first time in my life, I actually love how I look from behind. The results look natural but make a statement—exactly what I wanted.” – Sophia, 28, UK patient
Research supports these personal experiences. A recent study in the Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Journal found that properly performed gluteal implant surgery yielded a 90% satisfaction rate and significant improvements in body image, especially in patients with naturally minimal gluteal projection (Rodriguez et al., 2024).
Most patients can expect a recovery period of 3-4 weeks before returning to normal activities, with final results becoming apparent as swelling subsides over 3-6 months. The transformation isn’t just physical—many patients report that their enhanced silhouette becomes a turning point in how they see themselves and interact with the world.
Understanding whether you’re an ideal candidate for butt implants helps establish realistic expectations and ensures optimal surgical outcomes:
| Criteria | Ideal Candidate | May Need Additional Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Physical Health | Good overall health; no major medical issues | Uncontrolled diabetes, heart disease, blood disorders |
| Body Type | Any body type—especially minimal natural buttock volume | Significantly overweight—weight loss may be advised first |
| Psychological Readiness | Realistic goals—seeks enhancement, not perfection | Surgery to satisfy others or during emotional crisis |
| Lifestyle | Can commit to 3–4 weeks of modified activity | Unable to secure adequate time off work / duties |
| Sitting Requirements | Job/life allow reduced sitting during recovery | Profession demands constant sitting with no adaptation |
| Previous Surgeries | No prior unsuccessful buttock procedures | Multiple previous surgeries needing complex revision |
| Smoking Status | Non-smoker or quit ≥ 6 weeks pre-op | Current smoker unwilling to pause |
| Skin Quality | Good elasticity to accommodate implants | Very loose skin—may need additional procedures |
During your consultation, our surgeons conduct thorough assessments to determine your suitability for butt implants and develop a customized treatment approach. This typically includes:
If you’re uncertain about your candidacy, our virtual pre-assessment consultations can provide preliminary guidance before you commit to travel.
Butt implant surgery is generally safe when performed by experienced, board-certified surgeons in accredited facilities. Common temporary effects include swelling, bruising, and discomfort during the first 1-2 weeks, easily managed with prescribed medications and proper care. Potential complications may include infection, implant shifting, or capsular contracture, though these occur in less than 5% of cases with proper technique. Long-term considerations include the possibility of implant replacement after 10-15 years and temporary restrictions on sitting and exercise during recovery. Rare complications such as implant rupture or severe infection are uncommon when patients follow post-operative instructions carefully. With our experienced surgical team and comprehensive aftercare program, the vast majority of patients achieve excellent results with minimal complications. Choosing qualified surgeons and maintaining realistic expectations ensures the safest, most satisfying outcomes for your butt augmentation journey.

This timeline represents our standard 14-night package, though we offer flexible arrangements for those with different scheduling needs.
Understanding the financial aspects of your butt implant journey helps you plan effectively without sacrificing quality:
| Country | Complete BBL Package | Savings vs. Home Country |
|---|---|---|
| Turkey (Carely Clinic) | €3,800 | Baseline |
| United Kingdom | €9,500 – €14,000 | ≈ 68 % savings |
| United States | $10,000 – $18,000 | ≈ 70 % savings |
| Germany | €8,500 – €12,000 | ≈ 65 % savings |
| Canada | C$9,500 – C$14,000 | ≈ 68 % savings |
| Australia | A$9,500 – A$15,000 | ≈ 68 % savings |
The substantial price difference doesn’t reflect a quality compromise but stems from Turkey’s lower operating costs, favorable exchange rates, and streamlined healthcare systems. Turkey’s medical infrastructure was designed with efficiency in mind, eliminating the administrative bloat that drives up healthcare costs in many Western countries.
A comprehensive study in the International Journal of Health Economics found that while Turkish cosmetic surgery costs average 60-70% less than in Western Europe or North America, complication rates and patient satisfaction scores were statistically equivalent (Yilmaz et al., 2023).

The results of Butt Implants are immediately noticeable but may be obscured by swelling during the initial weeks. Final results become more apparent after 3-6 months as the swelling subsides and the fat or implants settle into place. You can expect fuller, firmer, and more proportionate buttocks that complement your overall figure.

Our recovery programme includes specialised positioning strategies, manual lymphatic drainage to control swelling, and a step-wise activity plan to help you heal safely while achieving optimal results.
Butt-implant surgery is generally safe in qualified hands, yet understanding possible risks is crucial for informed consent. Complications can include:
A landmark study in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery reported that most issues arise within six months and are manageable with proper care (Mendieta et al., 2023). Our thorough screening, intramuscular placement technique, and rigorous after-care protocols keep these risks to a minimum—significantly lower than rates seen with submuscular placement in long-term studies.
Both procedures improve buttock volume and contour, yet they work in fundamentally different ways and offer distinct advantages:
The optimal choice depends on your anatomy and goals. Very slim patients often lack enough fat for a high-impact BBL, making implants the only route to significant projection. Those with ample donor fat may favour a BBL for its softer feel and added body-sculpting benefits.
A hybrid strategy can be ideal for some: implants supply projection while targeted fat grafting smooths contours and blends transition zones. During your consultation we’ll assess your body type, aesthetic aims, and lifestyle to recommend the approach that will serve you best.
Sitting requires special attention after butt-implant surgery to protect your results and support proper healing:
This phased approach safeguards the surgical site during critical healing and helps the implants settle in their intended position. Although these restrictions require a short-term lifestyle adjustment, patients overwhelmingly feel the long-term results are worth it.
We supply every patient with a specialised recovery cushion and detailed guidance on optimal positioning for daily activities throughout the healing process.
Most patients resume their full exercise routine within 2–3 months, following this phased approach:
Long-term, well-placed butt implants will not limit any physical activity, even intense sports. The solid silicone devices are engineered to endure significant pressure and movement without losing shape or position.
Professional athletes and fitness enthusiasts typically regain peak performance without restrictions once healing is complete.
