Which Country Provides The Most Affordable BBL Procedures?

The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a specialised fat transfer procedure that augments the size and shape of the buttocks without implants that will give you the desired shape which you have been longing for a while. The main principle of this surgery is to do it by a series of fat injections.

It is worth noting that BBL surgery is often performed under general anaesthetic which lasts between two-to-three-hours. So, as the injection requires a substantial amount of fat in the human body, the procedure of liposuction is first used to remove fat from areas of the patient's body with excess adipose tissue (body fat) from areas such as the abdomen, waist, and legs. Then, the harvested fat is injected to the backside to give it the desired shape.

How Is Brazilian Butt Lift Done? 

If you feel any kind of hesitation before getting this procedure, make yourself feel at ease by taking the time to learn more about the procedure or in what ways the cosmetic surgeon will conduct the surgery and to give you the opportunity to raise questions as well as to be more informed as to what is the expected outcome from the procedure - down time, further treatments, sleeping and sitting down on your new bottom.

Here is a simple explanation as to how the procedure of Brazilian Butt Lift is done. There are three essential phases to a Brazilian butt lift. Firstly, Liposuction is used to remove fat from the areas mentioned above pulse perhaps a few other places. This fat is then cleaned before it is ready to be transferred back into the body as part of the BBL procedure. Then finally, to increase volume and improve shape, the cosmetic surgeon injects the cleaned fat into particular places on the buttocks.

You should also bear in the mind that general anaesthesia, intravenous sedation, and local anaesthesia are used to perform surgery. It is also common for some of the injected fat to not "take" in its new position; a skilled cosmetic surgeon will account for this and may inject slightly more fat into the buttocks than necessary at first to ensure your results are as near to your goals as possible.

To sum up, Brazilian Butt Lift surgery is a procedure to give you the best results of having that much more curvy and attractive backside but despite its name, there is no lift involved.

What Are The Risks Of Brazilian Butt Lifts?

A Brazilian butt lift, when performed by a specially trained cosmetic surgeon has long-lasting results. As previously mentioned, the best approach to learn more about the procedure is to schedule a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic surgeon to talk through all of your aims, goals and other questions.

Of course with any kind of surgery there are p, when it comes to having a Brazilian butt lift surgery, here are some of those risks:

• Infection,

• Bruising,

• Complications of the heart and lungs,

• Clots in the blood,

• Stretch marks are a type of scar that appears on,

• Deep Vein Thrombosis,

• Injected fat may move into the bloodstream,

•Liposuction or anaesthesia-related complications,

• Fat or surrounding tissue necrosis.

Before signing up to any form of cosmetic surgery, make sure you've done your homework and are aware of the dangers associated with the surgery you've chosen. Consult a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience performing the procedure you choose. 

Which Country Provides The Best And Most Affordable BBL Procedures?

Turkey is without a doubt the cheapest and greatest place to have a Brazilian Butt Lift.

To begin with, Turkish surgeons have a wealth of experience, and the majority of them have worked with international patients, as a result, they will be aware of your needs as patient. 

Furthermore, prices in Turkey are lower in comparison to Europe and the United States due to taxation, low costs, and other factors. There are all-inclusive packages available that include everything from lodging to translation services. Again, before any surgery, always do your own homework on your needs rather than those suggested by friends, the media or even social media.

Ultimate Indulgence For Happy Feet Christmas Gift Set

I first introduced Bare Feet, a brand by the fabulous Margaret Dabbs on my blog back in July and it is such a wonderful collection of products to keep your feet in tip top condition.  For Christmas the Bare Collection arrived just in time to ensure my trotters are continuing to look their best as I enter into party season.

Featuring four products, this is such a wonderful kit to find under your tree or to gift to someone who is in need of a pamper session and it costs just £29.95.

The first product in this gift set is the Foot File. I don’t like my feet being touched, I have to really grit my teeth whenever I have a pedicure because I just am not a fan, though anything that can make feet look prettier is an absolute must.  As you know, the easiest way to remove hard dead skin which can be really unsightly and in some cases if left for too long, very painful is with a tool such as this . 

This file is podiatrist approved and with its long handle, it is easy to grip so that your can work your way across that hard skin, especially on those heels which is where I always have a problem, but since using this file, my heel skin is left feeling soft and smooth

The second product in this gift set is the Exfoliating Foot Scrub and if using the foot file is too much, then this scrub is a great alternative.

This scrub, which includes the natural exfoliant of coconut, apricot stone and sweet almond shells to gently buff away dead skin cells and whilst it isn’t too abrasive, it does an amazing job. Blended with Ginger extract to energise the skin as well as to ease muscle and joint aches, it works alongside the antibacterial and antibiotic properties of Manuka honey and also has the most wonderfully uplifting scent of of the uplifting fragrance of Green Tea and zesty Lime.

Once your feet have been scrubbed and rubbed into submission, the next product is the Conditioning Foot Cream. Suitable for all skin types, this cream is designed to hydrate dry or rough skin of the feet as well as to help to reduce the build-up of hard skin and any callus that usually form, leaving feet feeling soft and smooth.

This intensive foot cream not only helps to treat dry, damaged feet and severely dry, cracked feet, but it also hosts antibacterial properties which help to keep feet hygienic, healthy and protected. With that, it can also help to treat the symptoms of common foot conditions such as Athlete’s Foot.  This cream is every bit as luxurious as it sounds and it is once again blended with energising Ginger extract, skin soothing Manuka Honey and nourishing Avocado Oil not forgetting the inclusion of the uplifting fragrance of Green Tea & zesty Lime which I mentioned appearing with the scrub.

The final product in this gift is is theSoothing Foot Soak (200ml £7.00) and after a  long walk, some exercise or a night on the town, when you have tried aching feet, this is the kind of treat your feet really need and it is my my favourite product of the range.

I do suffer with Plantar Fasciitis in both feet and it is incredibly painful when it flares up, usually at the most random of times. One of my favourite things to do when I want to sit down and catch up on a few episodes of my current favourite TV show is to fill a bowl of either really warm or really cold water for my aching feet. This soak, is designed to cleanse, hydrate and refresh tired feet and legs and it uses reviving Ginger extract and calming and moisturising Manuka honey alongside antibacterial Eucalyptus.  Again, the inclusion of the uplifting fragrance of of the uplifting fragrance of Green Tea and zesty Lime are present and it smells just incredible.

As you can see, I am a huge fan of Bare Feet and I think this Ultimate Indulgence For Happy Feet Christmas Gift Set is an amazing gift not just for Christmas but for anytime and it is on sale now.

Stocking Filler Gifts - For Him

I mentioned in a previous post about creating Stocking Filler gifts for friends in the past and today I am sharing one for him which will hopefully give you some ideas as to what presents to buy your nearest and dearest.

Stocking Fillers or creating a stocking full of mini gifts is something I really love to create and get together and it is such an easy way to make Christmas presents fun. So for him, despite the fact he really wants a Hammock, which Tropilex have a great selection of, to sleep in, this year there is a whole host of grooming products that I have included, products that I know my hubby likes and with some, has used before.

Fragrance

Starting with a fragrance, without fail every year, there is always a new fragrance wrapped for him to open and in this gift guide I have included Aldi Lacura's Pure Noir which is described as being inspired by Tom Ford with Black Orchid and people have commented asking if that is what he is wearing!  This bottle, which is available in Aldi an on ad-hoc basis, basically if you see it grab it, is priced at just £5.99

Bathing

In the shower, I like to think my shower gels are mine and his are his, nope, he will use whatever is there and doesn't really think about how it smells.  So I decided to grab two products for trying. The first comes from Primark with their Awakening Body Wash (£3.00) and it has Tea Tree and Aloe Vera alongside a fragrance of Dark Amber and Tonka, so it has quite a zing to it when used.  Alongside that from The Body Shop comes the Arber Hair & Body Wash (£6.50) and it is described as being a sensual woody fragrance with the aroma of lime, coriander and sandalwood. This is a 3-in-1 product and can be used as a cleanser, shampoo and skin conditioner.

Beard Care 

The biggest selection of products within this stocking filler guide is centred around shaving and beards because throughout lock-down he has grown an incredible beard, which is as important to look after as the hair on your head.  Starting with Malin + Goetz Vitamin E Shaving Cream (£19) and it is described as being a lightweight cream treatment to soothe and prep skin for a smooth shave. Packed full of amazing ingredients such as Squalene and Shea butter to moisturise, Vitamin E for its anti-oxidant properties and then Glycerin for hydration, this should be perfect for shaving those excess areas turning the mister into teen wolf as the hair starts to cover his entire face! Added to that we have the inclusion of the Razor MD Travel Trio (£28) which features three products - a pre-shave oil, a non-lathering shaving cream and a post shave lotion and they are packaged in a travel friendly clear wallet. Al three products are natural unscented, so there is no surprise scent when they are used. The finally from Johnny's Chop Shop we have the Beard Oil (£6) which is designed to nourish beard hair from root to tip and is infused with vitamin E, almond, apricot & olive oil and it is a non-oily oil and then we have the Beard Shampoo (£7) and it is described as being a formulated shampoo which works to soften and strengthen the beard while removing any traces of styling products and nourishing skin.

Skincare

I am always encouraging the use of serums, creams, masks and in this guide I have kept it simple with just a few products.  The Gruff Stuff, which we have used before and have since re-purchased, is a vegan, cruelty-free brand that is made in the UK and was created to be suitable for all men, and all skin types. In this guide we have the Spray On Moisturiser which is described as being innovative, it uses a fuss-free spray application which works to give a quick and powerful boost of hydration and then we also have the Eye Balm which is described as being a gentle, yet powerful hydrating eye balm which combats the entire orbital area. Using a combination of potent ingredients such as Matcha Green Tea extracts, it helps to fade dark circles, reduce puffiness and firm and together they are a set which can be purchased for just £45.   Face masks are always a big plus and they are such good value for money. From Masquebar with Bandito, the Chill a Minute or 30 Mask, this is a cream mask which uses Lemon Fruit Extract and Vitamin E and it is designed to leave the skin feeling soft, smooth and refreshed.  Then finally there is Proverb Strengthening Skin Serum which is designed to leave skin feeling instantly lifted and looking energised while helping improve signs of ageing. It uses a whole host of amazing sounding ingredients which includes Antarctic glycoproteins, hyaluronic acid, pomegranate, acai, sea buckthorn, blue agave, thyme, basil and bitter orange.  The final product is another face mask and this time it is from BARBER PRO with their Foaming Cleansing Mask with Activated Charcoal (£4.95).  This mask is designed to rid the skin of dirt, oil and impurities. Described as being 'soaked in' Activated Charcoal and a rich AHA Complex, the cleansing mask detoxifies the complexion, which is ideal for refining pores and reducing excess oil on acne-prone skin.  Fun to use and gentle on the skin.

The final item I am including within this guide is one that I absolutely love, though not as much as my mister and it comes from a brand called Fawler, which can be found on Trendhim and it is a Frisco Black Urban Tube Scarf.

As you can see, it is easy to wear, it is incredibly warm without being too restrictive around the neck.  It is available in a variety of colours and is priced at £45 which, for something as well made as this is, absolute bargain to be had.

I find for men, there is no end of products you can include within a Stocking to create an amazing gift, games, books, tool, skincare, fragrance, socks and so much more.  Hopefully this is a good insight as to what I would be including in the one I have created.
