My BBL experience with Dr. Ersin

So this is probably gonna be a very in dept review of my bbl experience. I found Dr. Ersin early this year (2020). I contacted several doctors in Turkey but decided to go with him after having a virtual consultation with him. I instantly felt safe with him. He explained his safe BBL method to me, answered every question that I had as well. Fast forward I booked my appointment for end of this year since I still had to gain a little weight before getting surgery.
I arrived in Turkey on a Wednesday, got picked up at the airport and was brought to the clinic immediately to get my Covid test and blood check done. I got the results on the morning of the surgery (Friday) and had a face to face consultation with the doctor after. He explained the procedure to me again, was very realistic about what he can do for me (I had major hip dips) and that I might have to do another round if I want a more dramatic look because it wouldn't be safe to do too much in just one round. He said that he will be able to give me a nice curvy shape and fill up my bum but will keep it very natural. I really appreciated his honesty. He reassured me that everything will be fine and calmed me down. I was then brought to a bed. The last thing I recall was being rolled into the operating room and Dr. Ersin giving me reassurance before I was out to sleep. Next thing I know I'm awake, freezing and the assistant and a nurse and the assistant where telling me that I'll be feeling cold for about 45 min. I was then brought to my room and was literally shaking for at least an hour. Throughout the whole process the assistant would come to my room, check on me and translate whatever the nurses had to tell me. I was brought soup to eat, thankfully I wasn't nauseous at all. Probably like an hour after two nurses came to help me go to the washroom but I was able to walk without assistance. I spent most of the time in my bed, had dinner later that evening and got checked on by the nurses almost every hour. I left the hospital the next day. Dr. Ersin came to see me before I left, told me the surgery went well with no complications whatsoever. I'm 5'4 and was weighing 67 kg before surgery. He took out about 3900cc fat from my body and injected 800cc into each bum cheek plus I believe about 600cc into the sides of my hips to eliminate my major hip dips and create an hourglass shape. He changed the dressing and bandages, took out one of the drains and told me when he'd take out the rest of the drains (I had 3 more drains that were taking out day 3 post op). The days after in the hotel were draining. At first it was more discomfort than pain but the pain level at day 3 increased and moving around with the drains was tiring, sometimes painful and very annoying. I had my last check up on day 3, the drains come out and I was so scared since I thought I'd come with a lot of pain. I was scared for no reason, it wasn't painful at all. You basically don't even feel anything. The short massage after the drains were removed was very uncomfortable though. Dr. Ersin told me how to look after my wounds, to get lymphatic drainage massages to avoid complications and told me that I was free to contact my assistant or him at any time if I had questions. I got a massage the next day by lipomassages (Instagram) in Istanbul and I would really recommend their services. They sell stage 2 fajas too and a lot of other essentials (their boppy pillow saved me on my flight back home). I left turkey 5 days post op. I'm currently 7 days post op and still in a bit of discomfort and pain but it gets better with time. I still can't fully comprehend that I have a completely new shape now. To be very honest when he told me that he "only" injected 800cc into each bum cheek I was thinking it was very little compared to the amounts a lot of dolls were talking about whiles doing my research. But although my shape isn't proper visible now since I'm still swollen and stiff it looks so good already. He really knows what he's doing and now I'm low-key glad that he didn't inject even more into my bum. My bum looks so natural and my hips are well shaped and don't look fake at all. I'm so happy with my results already. Dr. Ersin and his team provide such a good service, they're always available and respond quickly to any inquiry, they took care of everything concerning transport, even the ride to the airport the day of our departure. I honestly have nothing to criticise when it comes to their patient service. I still have a long way to go recovery wise so I'll update when necessary.

I’m a little over 3 months post op now so I wanted to write a little update. Regarding any pain, I still experience a slight uncomfortable feeling on my back and sides (due to nerve pain which should be gone by 6 months post op) but nothing unbearable. I started sitting (mostly not longer than 1 hour without standing up in between) without a bbl pillow at 8 weeks post op and also started laying/sleeping on my sides around the same time. I’ve not lost a lot of fat so far and hopefully won’t experience any major changes. I haven’t started working out yet, will probably wait till I hit the 5 or 6 months mark and then work on building muscle in my glutes and legs and try maintain my flat tummy.
